JAMES SIIOBE, OF UPPER PRINCIPIO, MARYLAND.
Letters Patent No, 109,350,A dated November 15,1870.
4IMPROVEMENT INAPPLEPARERS, CORERS, AND SLICERS.
The Schedule referred :o in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom lit may concern Be it known that I, JAMES Suona, of Upper Priucipio, in the county ot' Cecil and State of' llaryland, have inventedccrtain new and useful Improvements in a Machine for laring, Uoringaud Quarte'riug or Slicing Apples for Drying and for other purposes; and the following is a full, clear, and exact description ot' the same, reference being had to `the acconlpanyng drawing making a ypart of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a plan or top view of the mnchine.
Figure 2 is a side view of the same, sho-wing the arrangement ofthe working parts.
Figure 3 shows a detached view of the conical paring mechanism'.
The object ofnxy invention to prepare apples for drying and for making pies, stewing for applesauce, or making apple-butter, in the nicest and most ,expeditious manner, by automaticallyparing, curing, quartering, or slicing the apple, all at one and the same time.
My invention consists in the revolving paring-knife, with its cylindrical or conical roller and swivel ratchet mechanism and springs to make it contorni to the coutonrof the apple, the construction and arrangement of the cover, the quarteri11g-blades orslicingknives, and the manner iu which they operate, and the chute or spring conductor to liberate the cut pieces of apples, so that no cores or parings mix with the cnt apples.
Also, in the cropped tooth-wheel, rack, and sliding apinc-holder, for bringing the apple up to the working parts,-so that there is no revolving backward motion tothe machine.v
'Io enable others to make and use my improved apple-cuttin g machine, I will now describe its construe'- tion and operation more in detail, referring tothe drawing and to the letters marked thereon.
Ihe base or frame-work of the vmachine may be made of hard wood or .of metal, cast or wrought, on which are standards, A and I3, to support the journalboxes a a for the shaft C and the shaft or spindle D, which are put inmotion by any suitable arrangement of gear mechanism, and operated by a crank with the hand, or by other mechanical power.
A cropped gear or toothed wheel, E, with about one-sixth part of the teeth orcogs taken off ou the two opposite sides, is so arranged as to lconnect with the rack f ou thesliding bar F, which is provided with a suitable mechanical device, G, with` prongs c c, to hold the apple in position and bring it up tothe working parts while it is being pared, cored, and cut in pieces.
The sliding bar l is relieved as soon as the work is done by the cropped sides of the gear-wheel E, and, by the action ofthe spring g, is thrown back in position toreceive another apple.
The shaft or spindle D, to .which all of the other the paring-knife revolves around it.
Y On the spindle D, just back of the coriug-knife cl, is fitted a socket,'H, to which the quartering or slicipg-blades h It h are attached, four or more in number, as may be desired, so that,'as the apple is forced onto the spindleI), and being pared and cored, itis out through endwise into as many pieces as there are bladesh 7L. Ihe cut pie-ces of the apple, being entirely separated from the core and parings, fall Aon the chut-e J, and are conducted int-o a vessel to receive them.
'Ihe chute J may be made of any desired form, or of any suitable material, and placed and secured in any desired position to effect its purpose.
Near the journal, ou thc shaft I), is secured the arm K, to which the paring device is attached, which consists of a hinged arm or level', I, working in a guide, It, onthc arm K, provided -with a spring, i, to press the paring-knife b against the apple as it passes around it.
'Ille paring-knife b is secured to a stock, L, aml is provided with a conical or a cylindrical roller, j, to
gauge the thickness of the paringand relieve the friction as it runs oft' the apple. y
'Ihc stock L is secured to the lever I, so that it will swivel round, and is provided with a notched wheel or tumbler, mfand va spring, n, to press it in such a manner that it will conform to the contour of the apple as it revolves around it in passing over from one end to the other.
Having thus fully described my' improved applecutting machine,
That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The revolving paring device, consisting ot' the knit'e b, with its frictioirroller j, swivel-stock L, ratchet m, and spring n, as connected with the lever I, spring yit, and arm E, operating in the manner herein showu'aud described.
2. rIhe revolving spoon-shaped corer d on the shaft D, and the cutting-blades h. h h, for quartering:
