It is obvious from the construction de-
scribed that when the shaft 2 is caused to re-
volve, the pan and attached mechanism when
engaged therewith, will be likewise driven.
5 During this operation the coil 25 is. heated
from a suitable source of electrical supply,
causing the cooking or roasting to take place
uniformly throughout, through the action of
the stirring or agitating device 13. If the
io material in the pan be popcorn, the corn,
after popping, will remain in the pan until
the same :is filled to the overflowing point,
after which it will raise the sectors 16 and
permit the corn to fall from the pan.
15 Although we have described the preferred
embodiment of the invention in detail, in or-
der that the construction and. operation
might be fully understood, we. regard the
precise construction as not material and that
20 the scope of the invention is limited by the
scope of the annexed claims.
Having thus described our invention we
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters
Patent:
:5 1. In a device of the character described,
in combination, a vertical shaft, means for
revolving said shaft, a cup removably connect-
ed with said shaft, a pan telescoped within
the cup forming a heating chamber therebe-
3o tween, electrical heating means within said
chamber, and means connecting said heating
means with a suitable source of electrical
supply.
2. In a device of the character described,
35 in combination, a cup, a pan telescoped with-
in the cup providing a chamber therebe-
tween, means rigidly connecting the pan and
cup together, a resistance coil in said cham-
ber, means for revolving the pan and cup, and
40 means connecting the resistance coil with a
suitable source of electrical supply.
3. In a device of the character described,
in combination, a vertical shaft, means for
revolving said shaft, a cup, a pan telescoped
45 within the cup providing a chamber therebe-
tween, a heating coil contained within the
chamber, a thimble attached to the cup pro-
viding a socket for removably engaging the
upper end of said shaft, an insulating cylin-
5o der surrounding the thimble, contact rings
carried by the cylinder, conductors leading
from said rings to the terminals of said heat-
ing coil, and brushes for engaging with said
rings.
55 4. In a device of the character described,
in combination, a pan having a heating cham-
ber formed thereunder, electrical heating
means within said chamber, and means for
revolving the pan.
6o 5. in a device of the character described,in combination, a pan having a heating cham-
ber formed thereunder, electrically heating
means within said chamber, a vertical shaft,
means for revolving said shaft, and means
for removably connecting the pan and shaft 65
together.
6. In a device of the character described,
in combination, a pan having a heating cham-
ber formed thereunder, electrical heating
means within said chamber, a vertical shaft, 70
means for revolving said shaft, and a thimble
providing a socket in fixed relation to the pan
adapted to be passed over said shaft acting to
detachably connect the pan thereto.
7. In a device of the character described, 75
in combination, a pan having a heating cham-
ber, a resistance coil within said chamber
for heating the same, a revoluble shaft, a
thimble providing a socket in fixed relation to
the pan adapted to be removably connected 8o
to the shaft, and means fixed to said thimble
connected with said coil adapted to feed the
coil from a suitable source of electrical sup-
ply.
8. In a device of the character described, 85
in combination, a pan having a heating cham-
ber, a resistance coil, a revoluble shaft, a
thimble providing a socket in fixed relation
to the pan adapted to removably connect
it with the shaft, an insulating cylinder sur- go
rounding the thimble, contact rings carried
by the cylinder, conductors leading from
said rings to the terminals of the resistance
coil, and brushes engaging with said rings.
9. In a device of the character described, 95
in combination, a pan having a heating cham-
ber, insulating sheets lining said chamber, a
heating coil within the chamber, revoluble
means, means for detachably connecting the
pan with said revoluble means, and contact T oo
rings and brushes for supplying said coil from
a suitable source of electrical supply.
10. In a device 6f the character described,
in combination, a pan having a heating cham-
ber, electrical heating means within the 105
chamber, revoluble means, means connect-
ing said pan with said revoluble means, con-
tact rings in fixed relation to the pan con-
nected with the terminals of the electrical
heating means, and brushes engaging said '1o
rings for feeding the heating means from a
suitable source of electrical supply.
In testimony whereof we have signed our
names to this specification in the presence of
two subscribing witnesses.
