SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 563,562, dated July '7, 1896.

Application filed February 3, 1896. Serial No. 577,784. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OSEPH H. BURNS,.0f Cleveland, Ouyahoga county, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pastry-Racks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in pastry-racks designed to be placed upon a counter or in a show-window and exhibit pastry and it consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 4 are views in perspective of racks embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a left-hand side elevation relative to Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a top plan relative to Fig. 1.

My improved rack comprises (see Figs. 1, 2, and 3) at least three upright metallic frames 5, 6, and 7. Each of said frames consists, preferably, of a single metallic casting. Frame 7 is located rearward and centrally of the two forward frames 5 and 6. are suitably connected and secured together at the top and bottom, and each frame is provided with avertical row of inwardly-projecting and horizontally-arranged, orapproximately horizontally-arranged, arms 8. Arms 8 are preferably integral with the respective frame, and the arms of the rear frame 7 are preferably arranged at right angles to the arms of the forward frames 5 and 6. The arms of each frame are arranged at suitable intervals between the upper and lower ends of the frame, and each arm of each frame is arranged in the same, or approximately the same, horizontal plane with an arm of each of the other frames, and each group of three arms thus arranged in the same horizontal plane constitutes a support for one pic.

The connection between the rack-frames is preferably as follows Each frame at its upper end terminates in an inwardlyprojecting arm 9, and arm 9 of frame 7 extends between The three frames and is suitably secured to the two cars 10 10, formed upon the inner ends of arms 9 of frames 5 and 6. Preferably each frame at its lower end is provided with a foot 11, and is, furthermore, provided with an inwardlyextending horizontally arranged arm 12. Arm 12 of frame 7 extends forwardly between and is suitably secured to ears 13,formed upon the inner ends of arms 12 of frames 5 and 6, and said arm 12 of frame 7 at its forward end, forward of arms 12 of frames 5 and 6, projects downwardly to form a foot 14.

A rack constructed according to my invention is not only attractive but has the requisite rigidity to render it exceedingly durable, and the construction is simple and consequently inexpensive.

Fig. 4 shows a double rack embodying my inventiomand in reality comprises two pastryracks arranged side by side and having frame 6 of one of the racks and frame 5 of the other rack composed of a single casting, that at its upper end is provided witha name-plate 15.

What I claim is A pastryrack comprising two forward frames and one rearward frame arranged between the forward frames, substantially as indicated, said frames, at their upper ends, being provided with inwardly-extendin g arms 9 suitably secured together, and, at their lower ends, being provided with inwardly-extending arms 12 suitably secured together, and each frame having a vertical row of inwardlyprojecting arms arranged at suitable intervals between the upper and lower ends of the frame, and the arms of each frame, in conjunction with the arms of the remaining frames, being furthermore suitably arranged to form pastry-supports, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification, in the presence of two witnesses,this 27 t day of January, 1896.

JOSEPH I-I. BURNS.
