BREAD-PAN.

To all whom it may concern:

-Be it known that 1, JAMES E. LEAMANN,

a citizenof the United S tates,residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland,-hav e n invented certain new and useful- Im rovements in Bread -Pans,'of which the ollowf in is. a specification. I

Tn baking upon a large scale it is .desirable to handle a number of loaves at a time while at the same time keeping the loaves distinct and separate. This is conveniently.

accomplished by connecting bread-pans for single loaves in series so that'a number of sin le-loaf pans may be handled as a unit. It is found thatwhen'pans are so connected the end-pans of the series are subjected to much more wear and tear than the intermediate pans, as the tools used for pushing the pans into the'oven and pulling them out operate almost entirely upon the end-pans and particularly upon these pans.

- The objects of my-invention are to rov'ide means for connecting a series of in ividual pans so that they may be handled as a unit and to properly reinforce the endans so;

that the lives of the end-pans may e substantially the same as the lives of the intermediate ans, which results in maximum economy in the-use of the The lnvention also comprises ific-in provements in the-mannerof rein the end pans. a i The invention is shown in the accompanying drawing in which:

ig. 1 which shows four pans con-v wall 7, single thick and the'opposite side :wall double thick.

Referring now to the end-pan shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, it will be seen that one side wall. consists of a single thickness 7, and

the opposite side wall consists of two .thicknesses 7 10. The two thicknesses are duced by adding an outer plate=10j an s'ecurin it in' position. ,In this reinforced an the-V-sha ed fold 9, at each corner is preferably fol ed over and laps upon the ends of the reinforcing plate 10; these folds.

produce fourthicknesses of -metal at the side adjacent the corner as seen in Fig. 3. As the pans have inclined or flaring walls,

and as the-two end edges of the sa d outer plate 10 are inclined to correspond with the flare of the end of the pan, it will be seen that said V-shape'd folds -9 serve to hold, the plate 10 inits pro r position especially as the top edges of t ew'allsare coiled over outward, the coil 11 of the side wall bein in.

contact'withthe upper edge of the'saidp ate 10. For furthersecurity in holding the reinforcihgplate f0,'-a rivet 15' maybe em ployed this thicknesses.

In order to still further increase the 'stifl;

-nes's of the outermost side wa llof each end pan, the outer plate 10 3s provided with several vertically extendin'ganrtwardly rorotru'sions 12. *-T esw jecti-ng s'wa es or are formed fore t e plate is attached to ,the'pa'n. The several pans-are secured to get her by bars 13 extendinip/alon low the turn" of all the pans of 'the. series edges thereof, the ends 140: said bars .bei fig} rivet passing through-"all four bent at right angles, and said bent ends; projecting around 'tdie-cori ers and '0verlap.-' 31 pin'gth'e double thicksidee. Rivets 15 are *p s ough s n end a 9189s two side walls, 7. The corners of thejpans are formed by V-shaped folds ,8, which ordi .60 narily have position .on the en 6, of the 'pa'nzbottom and all four-walls of the secured thereto.

through the four thicknessesof sheet-metal where the fold 9 -is located. This combination and arrangement give the desired strength to the series of pans and reinforce the side of each end-pan. I

While I have shown the rivets 15 as passing through the reinforcing plate 10 it will be noted that these plates are securely held in position and cannot become detached, regardless 0f the rivets. This results from the fact that the reinforcing plates have flaring ends corresponding to the angle of thesides of a pan, which prevents the plates from dropping downwhen once secured by the V-shaped folds 9. As the plates are pre vented from moving upward by the wired flanges 11 they are secured from movement in any direction, regardless of the rivets 15. I preferably pass rivets through the reinforcing plate to prevent any looseness of the plate, but it will be seen that these rivets may in some instances be omitted without er that the plates may become detached. aving thus described my invention what I claim and. desire to secure by Letters Patent is;

' 1. The combination ofa. series of rectangular bread-pans, the two end-pans of the series each having its outermost side wall composed of two thicknesses, the inner thickness having an interior surface which is continuously straight from end to end and the outer thickness provided with exteriorly protruding and vertically extending swage marks, and the innermost side wall of the end-pan composed ofone thiclmess'onl of sheet-metal, and the one or more pans o the series which areinte'rmediate of said two end-pans having walls of one thickness only, and means extending along all the pans of the series and securing them together.

2. The combination-of a series of sheetmetal bread-pans arranged side by side, the two end-pans A of the series each having one side wall of one thickness only and the opposite side wall of two thicknesses secured together said two thicknesses constituting the end or outer. side of the series, and the pans B of the series which-are intermediate of 'said end-pans having all their walls of one thickness only, and metal bars extendingalong each end ofall the pans of the series and the ends of said bars bent and projecting around and overlapping onto the said two thicknesses of end-pans and 3. In combination, a series of rectan lar breadans, the intermediate pans 'o the series aving V-shaped folds on their ends and the end-pans of the series having V- shaped folds on their sides, a rein-forcin plate on theouterjsi'de of each :end -pan, an

' outwardly flaring two metal bars extending along the series of pans and secured to the ends of the pans,

whereby the entire series may be handled as a unit.

4. A new article of manufacture consisting in a single row of rectangular bread of the pans below the turned edges thereof,

whereby the ends of the pans are protected and the pans connected to form a unitary structure, and reinforcing plates on the outer sides of the end pans extending substantially the full height thereof, whereby the life of the end pans may be prolonged to substantially equal the life of the intermediate pan or pans, the said reinforcing plates being securely connected to the end pans.

5. In combination, a series of oblong bread pans, arranged side by side, each complete in itself and havinga turned edge, two bars 13 extending along the ends of the pans .constituting the series, and below the turned edges thereof, means securing said bars to the ends of the pans whereby the series of pans may be handled as a unit and the ends of the pans-are protected, reinforcing plates secured to' the outer sides of the end j and extending substantially the full height thereof, and having their end portions arranged under the ends of the bars 13', and means common to the ends of the bars and the ends of-the plates for securing these parts to the pans, said reinforcing plates prolonging thelife of the end pans to equal substantially the life of the intermediate pan or pans.

6. In comb1nat1on,.a series of rectangular bread-pans,-bars secured to the'ends of the pans whereby the scrim may be handled as a unit, and reinforcing plates on the outer sides of the end-pans, the end pans having V-shaped folds on their outer sides and the ends of the reinforcing plates being inclosed by said folds.

7. In combination, a series of rectangular bread-pans, bars secured to the ends of the j pans whereby the series may be handled as a unit, and reinforcing plates on the outer sides of the end-pans, all of the pans having sides and ends, the endpans V- aped folds on their outer sidw, and reinforci plates provided with' is secured within said outwardy flaring en folds. v

. In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in'the presence of two witnesses. JAMES E. LEAMANN.
