DEsiGN Fon CAKE oa FRUIT BASKETS.

Specification forming part of Design No. 7,111, dated January 13,1874 5 application iiied December 27, 1573. [Term of Patent 3% years] To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HORACE C. 'ILCOX, of lVest Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State ot' Connecticut, have invented anew Design for Basket; and I do herebyr declare the following, when taken in connect-ion with the accompanying drawing and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawing constitutes part of this specification, and represents a perspective View.

This invention relates to a design for the article of table service commonly called cake or fruit basket, the design consisting in the configuration of three parts, which may be used together or separately-wiz., the legs or support, the basket or plate, and the handle.

The legs, starting from the foot or bearing point a, run straight, but obliqnely, to near a common center, b. A little below the upper end ot' this part a branch, c, extends from this part obliquely outward and upward t0 the basket at d. At the intersection of the two parts of the leg an ornament, f, is introduced, havin gthe appearance of a brace. The basket,

resting upon the legs, has a flaring scalloped edge, as shown. For the bail, a branch,h,ex tends up from each side the basket, inclined inwardly, and near the upper end each branch intersects a bar, n; these bars n, running in an upward incline, meet at the center. An ornament, 1', is introduced at the intersection of the bars li and n.

These legs may be used for other baskets and with different bails, and vice versa. I therefore do not confine myself to the combination of the three parts described, but together or separately.

I claim as my invention- The design for basket, as shown in the accompanyingillustration and herein described, consisting of the legs in two oblique parts, the basket with a flaring scalloped edge, and the bail formed of inclined parts h n, the said legs, basket, and bail used together or separately.

HORACE C. VILCOX.
