SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 789,623, dated May 9, 1905.
Application filed January 6, 1905. Serial No. 239,845.
To (LY/Z whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, PETER MOGRATH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Hibbing, in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Lemon-Squeezers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in lemonsqueezers; and it consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of a lemon-squeezer embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a detail cross-section on about line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the handle. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of a portion of the main frame. Fig. 6 is a cross-section on about line 6 6 of Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is a detail perspective View of the cup-carrier. Fig. 8 is a detail perspective View of the plunger-head. Fig. 9 is a detail perspective view of the base-piece for the cup. Fig. 9is a cross-section on about line 9%) of Fig. 9. Fig. 10 is a bottom plan view of the plunger-head, and Fig. ll is a detail cross-section thereof on about line 11 11 of Fig. 10.
The lemon-squeezer is adapted for application to a bench or table, of which a part is shown at A in Figs. 1 and 2 and is provided with an upright shaft B, threaded at its lower end to receive the hand-nut O, the shaft eitending down through an opening a, in the table A and the upper end of the shaft being provided with the box-loop D, which projects through and above the base-plate E, which latter rests upon the top of the table A, as shown, and is grooved in its upper face at E to receive the shank of the main frame, as shown.
The main frame F is provided at its rear end with the projecting shank F, adapted to lit within the box-loop D and recessed in its upper side at F to receive the gib F which is recessed in its upper side at F' to properly engage with the top bar (Z of the loop D, an opening (.Z being provided in said top bar for a clamping-screw D, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The shank F fits within the groove E. in
the upper face of the base-plate E. By the construction described the main frame can be readily secured in place and released whenever desired. The main frame is provided with the side plates f, spaced apart to receive between them the segment-gear presently described, and these side plates fconnect at their front edges with the upright side platesf, the main frame being thus bifurcated at its front end and adapted to receive both the segmental gear, the rack of the plunger, and the cupcarrier, presently described. The main frame is provided on its inner side at the inner edges of the upright plates with the forwardly-facing shoulders f against which abuts the rear side of the block of the carrier, and 1 also provide in the upper ends of the side plates f slots f which are entered by lugs on the block G of the carrier, as presently described. The cup-carrier has the block G, adapted to lit between the side plates of the main frame, provided at its upper end with the lugs G to enter the slots f in the upper ends of the upright plates f of the main frame. The block G is also provided near its lower end with the hook-like portion G on its inner face to engage with the cross-pin G, which extends between the side plates f of the main frame. By this means the cup-carrier may be readily fitted to and removed from the main frame. When the carrier G is applied to the main frame, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, it operates as a guide and keeper for holding the rack J 2 in place. The carrier is provided at the lower end of the block G with a ring Gr to receive the cup M and also has a recess G", in
which may be clamped by a screw G the upper bent end of the wire hanger H, to the lower end of which is secured the base-ring H, which may form a rest for the glass H. The base H is secured adjustably at H to the lower end of the hanger H so it may be set up to cause the glass H to fit between the base H and the cup-ring G", as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.
The plunger I turns within the upper forwardly-projecting arm I of the rack 1 the latter sliding vertically within the main frame and close to the rear side of the block G and is provided on its rear face with the teeth I,
which are meshed by the teeth J of the segment J, the latter being pivoted, preferably, by means of the shaft J on which the segment may be secured by a pin J", as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. By turning this segment, which may be easily accomplished by the handle J", the segment J may be operated to force the rack-bar and the plunger carried thereby downwardly. To return or readjust the segment to its normal position, such as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, I employ a spring L, encircling a bolt L, the latter being connected at its lower end at L to the segment J and extending thence up through a bearing-plate L and provided at its upper end with a head If, the spring L bearing between the head L and the bearing-plate L and operating to return the segment to its normal condition, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The upward movement of the segment is limited by a laterallyprojecting pin J as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The plunger 1 is shown in the form of a shaft journaled in the arm 1' of the sliding rack and provided at its lower end with a toothed presser-plate 2 and above the same with a cover-plate 2", the spring 2 being provided to press said cover-plate tightly against the upper edge of the cup M in the use of the invention. hen the plunger has been forced downward to its lowermost position, it may be turned to cause its toothed foot-plate 2' to press all the juice and pulp out of the lemon, and this turning of the plunger may be effected by means of the handle 71 and spring 2', being arranged to readjust the plungershaft after it has been turned by means of the handle r1 as will be understood from Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.
The foot-plate is toothed or grooved on its under side, the grooves 24 being of a special form, as shown in Figs. 10 and 11that is to say, with the grooves 24; cut square or straight at one wall, 25, at the rear of the groove and beveled or sloped as to its other wall, 26- the purpose of this construction being that when the head is pressed down in use the sharp straight walls 25 will hold the lemon absolutely tight at the top and cooperate with the straight walls on the opposite sides of the grooves in the plug H in such manner as to squeeze all the juice and pulp out of the lemon when the head is turned by the handle 2'", as before described;
The cup M is fitted on the ring Gr and is provided in its bottom with an opening to receive the plug M, which is removable from the cup and is preferably toothed and grooved in its upper face at M as best shown in Figs. 2 and 9 of the drawings.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
