To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, FRANK P. THIEN, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State; of

Illinois, have invented certain new and useful' Improvements in Baking-Pans; 'and I do hereby declare that the following description of my said invention, taken in connection with the accompanying'sheet of drawings, forms a full, clear, and exact specification, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has general reference to baking pans, and especially that class of baking pans employed in bakeries for baking bread; and it consists, essentially, in the novel and peculiar combination'of parts and details of construction, as hereinafter first fully set forth and described, and then pointedout in the claims.

The object of this invention is the production of an'efiicient, serviceable, and very durable bakers bread pan, that can be manufactured at reasonable cost without the employment of-expensive machinery.

It comprises, in combination, with a set of pans, usually four, reinforcing plates at the outer sides of the two outer end-pans, which are adapted to protect these sides and which are sufliciently resilient to protect these sides from injury by the bakers peel used in removing the pans from the bake oven.

In the drawings already mentioned, which serve to illustrate this invention more fully, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a set of baker-s bread pans embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional eleyation of a portion of the outer pan of a set. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the reinforcing plate detached.

Like parts are designated by corresponding' symbols and characters of reference in all the figures.

This bakers bread pan comprises a set of rectangular pans A, usually four, which are placed in spaced relation one to the other, to permit heat to act upon the sides of the pans in order to attain even baking of the bread. Each of these pans as formed briefly described comprises a bottom 14:, longitudinal sides 16, and ends 17, there being at the ends overlapping folds 19, which tend to strengthen the pan at the corners.

A series of the pans described are connected together in spaced relation one to the other by band iron straps 21, 21, said straps being perforated at suitable intervals by rivetholes 22, Fig. 2, through which, and similar perforations at the overlapping por- Upon the outer pans, I locate reinforcing plates C, one of which is shown in detail in Fig. 3, and which comprises a body portion'24, of suflicient length and width to approximately cover the side of a pan, and two angular end- members 25, 25, which latter members are bent at right angles to the body portion and overlap the laps at the ends of the pan and are secured thereto by the same rivets 23 which are at the ends of said pans.- The upper longitudinal edge of the body portion 24 is curled or beaded at 26, which bead reaches over part of the end members and stiffens the upper longitudinal edges of these parts. The lower edge of the body portion is also beaded with a preferably Wider bead 27, which latter bead stops short of the side of the outer pan, said lower por tion of the reinforcing plate being resilient so that when the bakers peel employed in lifting the pan out of the bakers oven strikes the side of the outermost pan, the resilient portion of the reinforcing plate will, in part, absorb the shock while at the same time the lower curved'portion 28 of the bead 27 assists the peel in passing underneath the pan. 1

The reinforcing plates are preferably made from somewhat heavier material than the pans to make them sufliciently strong to prevent indenting the outer side of the outermost pans should the peel strike the side of the pan above the bottom thereof.
