W. A. WHITNEY & J. W. WHITNEY.
Lemon-Squeezers.
No. 133,511. Patented Nov.26,1872.
UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIGE.
I WILLIAM A. wruTNEY AND JOHN w; WEITNEY, 0E BROOKLYN, NEw YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN LEMON-SQUEEZERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 133,511, dated November 25, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that we, WILLIAM A. WHITNEY and JOHN W. WHITNEY, both of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improved Lemon-Squeezer, of which the following is a specification:
The object of this invention is to produce a cheap and handy lemon-squeezer which shall be more effective and can be more expeditiously operated than the article ordinarily'used for this purpose. To this end it consists in a cup for the reception of the lemon to be squeezed, a frame formed to constitute a clamp for securing the device to a table, and also to form guides for a sliding follower, and a screwsocket for the reception of a screw by which the follower is operated, whereby the desired ends are attained.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a side view of a lemon-squeezer made according to my invention, and Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
A is the frame of the implement. It is of cast-iron, and has formed on its lower portion a cup, B, in which a half lemon to be squeezed is placed. This cup is perforated in the bottom to provide for the escape of juice expressed from the lemon. Over this cup is a socket, c, for the reception of the operating-screw G, and the portions f f of the frame between the socket and the cup B form guides along which the follower D works. The follower is of a shape corresponding to the contour of the interior of the cup B, and has formed on its upper edge lugs, which embrace the guides f f on the frame A. The screw 0 works through a nut in the socket c, and is secured at the end to the follower D in such manner as to be free to turn without it. It is furnished at the other end with a handle, by which it is manipulated. On the lower portion of the frame, at one side of the cup B, is a clamp, E, by means of which the implement can be secured to a table or bench.
The lemons to be squeezed are cut in halves and inserted piece by piece into the cup B. The handle of the screw is then turned to bring down thefollower D, and thereby squeeze the lemon between it and the cup. The juice escapes, through the perforations in the bottom of the cup B, into a bowl or other receptacle placed to receive it.
By this invention lemons may be very effectively and expeditiously squeezed without all the handling which is necessary in ordinary articles of this kind, and which is so objectionable.
Claim.
A lemon-squeezer, composed of the cup B and its attached frame A, guides f f and clamp E, and the follower D and its attached operating-screw O, the whole combined and arranged substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
