SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,559, dated July 17,
Application filed April 23, 1883. lModel.)
.[0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known thatl, ADOLPH RIPPIEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Reading, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Apple-Parers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to certain improvements in that class of apple-parers in which the fork-shaft is threaded and engages with a nut, so that the fork will be fed forward as the shaft is turned, the main objects of my invention being to effect the secure locking of the nut in position during the paring operation and the automatic release of the shaft from the influence of the nut when the apple has been pared, further objects being the removal of the core from the fork and the prevention of injury to the machine by the turning of the fork-shaft in the wrong direction.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, Sheet 1, is a side view of sufficient of an'appleparer to illustrate my invention; Figs. 2 .to 5, inclusive, detached perspective views, illustrating the operation of the devices; Figs. 6 and 7, Sheet 2, side views, with some of the parts in different positions from those shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 8, a transverse section on the line 1 2, Fig. 1; and Fig. 9, a transverse section on the line 3 4, Fig. 6.
A is the frame of the device, which is furnished with the usual screw-clamp, B. I have shown on the frame a coring and slicing knife, D, but have not shown the paring devices, as my invention has no reference thereto.
F is the fork-shaft, on which is out a thread, as usual, the front end of the shaft having the fork G and the rear end being furnished with the usual handle, the fork-shaft engages, consists of the bent upper end of the long arm of a bell-crank lever, J, the short arm of which has a weight, b, the tendency of the latter being to throw the nut into engagement with the thread of the shaft.
To a guide, d, on the frame A is adapted a sliding bolt, f, which, when allowed to drop in front of a shoulder, g, on the short arm of the lever J, locks said lever in position and prevents the accidental removal of the nut a from gear with the shaft F. When the bolt is raised, however, the lever J can be operated so as to release theshaft from the control of the nut.
H. The nut a, with which This operation, as well as the previous elevation of the bolt, is effected bya lever, K, hung to the side of the frame A by a pin, h, adapted to a slot, i, in the lever. The lever K has three arms, m, m, and W, the arm on having a lug, n, and the arm m a lug, p
When the machine is in operation the lever K occupies the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the lever J being locked by the bolt f, as shown in Figs. 3 and 8. As the fork-shaft reaches the limit of its forward movement a cam, g, on the handle H strikes the arm m of the lever and depresses the same, as shown in Fig. 4. This effects two results-first, the elevation of the bolt f, as shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 9, by the action of the lug 10 upon the lower end of the said bolt, and, secondly, the vibration of the lever J so asto free the nut a'from the shaft F and hold it free therefrom. This movement is caused by the action of the lug n of the lever K upon the inner edge of the long arm of the lever J, and upon a lug, s, thereon, this lug finally dropping beneath the lug n, so as to retain the lever K in the retracted position. The fork-shaft is now free to be drawn longitudinally backward, and when near the limit of its movement in this direction a flange, 25, on the fork-shaft strikes the, arm m of the lever K and moves said lever rearward, so as to free the lugs n ands from contact with each other, as shown in Fig. 7, the slot z permitting this movement. As soon as the lugs are free from engagement the lever J falls, so as to per- Init the nut 11 to be thrown into engagement with theshaft F, and the lever K then swings on its pivot-pin 71., so as to'withdrawthe lug p from beneath the bolt f, as shown in Fig. l, the bolt falling and locking the lever' J in position, as shown in Figs. 3 and 8. go
A sliding plate or block suitably guided on the frame may be substituted for the lever K, said plate having a lug, p, to elevate the locking-bolt and a lug, n, to effect the retraction of the lever J, the latter lug being inclined or beveled, so as to properly act on the lever as the plate is thrust forward when the fork-shaft reaches the limit of its forward movement. I consider the sliding plate to be the equivalent of the lever K, and claim it as such.
In order to effect the removal of the core from the fork as the latter is'withdrawn, I use a core-pusher, M, consisting of a disk, w, and ring w, connected together by rods 10, the disk sliding on the fork and the ring w 011 the shaft in the rear of the same;
On the upper end of the locking-boltf is a projecting bar, f, and as the fork is withdrawn the outer end of this bar strikes the ring 10 of the pusher, as shown in Fig. 7, and moves the said pusher forward, so as to thrust the core from the fork before the flange tstrikes the arm on of the lever K. After the locking-bolt f drops, the bar f is out of the way of the pusher, so that the latter is free to move backward as the apple is applied to the fork.
It will be observed that during the paring operation the nut a is locked rigidly in position, my improved apple-parer being in this respect superior to those in which the nut is held to the shaft by means of a spring. Owing to this locking of the nut, however, there would be a tendency of the parts to become jammed when the limit of the thread was reached on the backward movement of the shaft. In order to prevent this 1 form a groove, m, at the front end of the thread, so that as the shaft F is turned backward this groove is brought into line with the nut a, and the shaft can then be turned without any further rearward movement being imparted to it, the shaft being fed forward, however, on reversing the movement, as the threaded portion of the shaft will at once engage with the nut.
I claim as my invention- 1. The combination of the threaded forkshaft, adapted to fixed bearings, a lever, J,
pivoted so as to swing laterally, and-carrying a nut, u, for the fork-shaft, and a bolt, f, adapted to lock said lever when the nut is in gear with the shaft, as set forth.
2. The combination of the threaded forkshaft F, the lever J, having the nut a, weight b, and shoulder g, and the sliding locking-bolt f, as set forth.
3. The combination .of the threaded forkshaft 1+, the lever J, having the nut a and lug s, and the lever K, having alug, n, as set forth.
4. The combination of the threaded forkshaft, the lever J, having the nut a and shoulder 9, the locking-bolt f, and the lever K, having a lug, 1), adapted to act upon said lockingbolt, as set forth.
5. The combination of the threaded forkshaft, the lever J, having the nut a and shoulder 9, the locking-bolt f, and the lever K, having the lugs n and j), as set forth.
6. The combination of the threaded forkshaft, the lever J, having the nut a and shoulder l/, the locking-bolt f, and the lever K, having a slot, 1', and lugs n and p, as set forth.
7. The combination of the lever K with the fork-shaft having the cam q, as set forth.
8. The combination of the lever K, free to slide, with the fork-shaft having a collar, 2, as set forth.
9. The combination of the fork-shaft and its fork, the core-pusher M, free to slide thereon, and the bolt f, having a bar, f, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I havesigned my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ADOLPH RIPPIEN. \Vitnesses:
