IMPROVEMENT IN FRUIT-PARERS. i
Speciication formingpart of Letters Patent No. 139,837, dated June 10, 18,73*; application led Junco, 1873.
To all whom tlmay concern:
Be it known that we, ANDREwT-UENBULL and RoDoLPHUs L. WEBB, of New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Gonnecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Fruit-Parer; and we do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification," and represent, in-
Figure 1, a side view; Fig. 2, a top View; Fig. 3, a rear View; Fig. 4, a diagram illustratin g the connection between the plate and discharging-side; and in Fig. 5, the cutterhead detached, enlarged.
This invention relates to'an improvement in machines for paring apples, and for like purposes; and it consists, first, in a forked shaft, upon which the article to be pared is placed, `the said shaft provided with a pinion and combined with a driving gear and intermediate pinion between the pinion on the forked shaft and the driving-gear, a frame for supporting the mechanism, and a rotating'table carrying the cutter-shaft, the said table caused to revolve by a pinion upon the driving-shaft working into a gear beneath the tay ble, the said pinion being upon the side of the table toward the said drivin g-gear; second, in
a slide arranged near and working in line parallel with the forked shaft, and actuated from the revolving table by a projection thereon striking against an arm on a vertical shaft, the said shaft provided with a pinion working in a corresponding rack on the said slide.
A is a vertical post, from which arms B CD extend at nearly right angles. E is the driving-shaft, upon the outer end of which the principal or driving gear F is fixed, and which is caused to revolve by means of a crank, G. Upon the arm C the table H is arranged upon a vertical shaft, I, and is provided with a gear` or teeth upon the under side, as seen in Fig.` 1. On the inner end of the shaft E a pinion, L, is iixed, working into the teeth on the un der side of thetable, so that the edge of the table next the post runs substantially in the direction of the wheel F. Above, on the arm B, a shaft, N, is arranged in suitable bearings, i
its inner end provided with suitable prongs a,
4upon which the article to be pared is placed. 0n the outer endof this shaft a pinion, P, is i required direction. Upon the table H the knife-lever S is hung, having an arm extending down beneath therefrom, and on the upper side of the arm C a path for the lower arm of p the lever is made, approached by-an `incline denoted in broken lines, Fig. 1, so that as the table revolves the lower arm of the lever, after the cutter has done its work, will ride up the incline onto the path T, and thus Athrow the cutter back clear from the fruit. This operation of the cutter-lever is substantially the same as in many other cutters. The head of the cutter is formed with projections b d, between which the cutter f is set. the projections notched or beveled upon their inside to receive the cutter, which is correspondingly formed, and a set-screw, h, in the head set against one end of the cutter to hold it in place.
By this arrangement of p the cutter the adjustment is made easy and simple, and enables the wearing of the cutter to a much greater extent than can be done by the ordinary mode of adjustment, and also makes it a very simple matter to supply a new cutter, it not requiring to be slotted or tapped, as in the usual construction.
In order to automatically throw the fruit l from the fork after it has been pared we arrange a slide, Z, upon the `upper side of the arm B, in suitable guides` n, and so as to move freely in a line substantially parallel to the axis of the fork, and the edge of this slide is toothed, as seen in Fig. 2, into which a segment, m, works, the said segment being upon the upper end of a vertical shaft, 1^. The said shaft r extends down, its lower end supported in a bearing, s,- and at this end` an arm, t, preferably forked, ezrtends toward the table, and ou the table a corresponding projection, "W, projects, so that as the table revolves the projection W will strike the arm t, as seen in Fig. 4, turning it with its shaft r partly around and such turning of the shaft throws the slide l forward and over the fork, as denoted in broken lines, Fig. 2. The end of the slide is preferably enlarged into a head, w. This forward movement throws the fruit from the shaft. A spring, as denoted in Fig. l, returns the shaft and slide after the projection on the plate has passed the arm on the shaft. Beneath the arm C a clampingscrew, X, is arranged through the arm in the usual manner.
We claim as our invention- 1. A paring-machine, composed of the forked volving table by the projection W thereon working against the corresponding arm t on the shaft 1', upon Which shaft a pinion works in a corresponding rack insaid slide, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
