UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN WVESLEY CONDON, OF LOGANSPORT, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO THE SCOTT MANUFACTURING COMPANY OF BALTIMORE CITY.
DOM ESTIC HAND-PRESS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,907, dated April 27, 1886.
Application filed October 31, 1585. Serial No. 181,169.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN WEsLEY CONDON, of Logansport, in the county of Cass and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Domestic Hand-Presses, of which the following is a description.
Figure l is a perspective view of the press, partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of the lower end of the standard.
The object of my invention is to provide a convenient hand-press for domestic use which shall be simple and strong in construction and convenient for general use, and in which the parts are readily detachable for easy cleansing, the press being designed for pressing fruits for making wine, jellies, catsup, &c., or for pressing lard, corned beef, cheese, vegetables, &c. It relates particularly to that form of press in which a base-plate is provided with a vertical overhanging standard or bracket, in which a screw-shaft is arranged,which bears upon a platen that fits inside of a cage or perforated chamber resting upon the base.
My improvements consist in the means for readily connecting and disconnecting the and a spout, c, for the expressed juices to run through. Bistheuprightoverhangingbracket-standard. O is a circular cage or perforated shell resting upon the base. D is a platen resting in said cage, and E is the screw-rod, provided with a crank, d, which scrcw-rod serves to force down the platen.
Now, in connecting the bracket-standard B to the base, it is obvious that as great strain comes upon the two parts in the operation of the press, therefore it is very important that the connection of this bracket-standard to the base-plate should be as firm and strong as possible. In practice it is not possible to couveniently cast the two together, because the structure would not draw from the mold. I therefore cast these two parts separately and (So model.)
connect them as follows: The base-plate I cast with an offset, 0, having two lips, ff, one on each side of the offset, and forming a seat in which the bracket-standard is fixed. The bracket-standard is also cast with a flat bottom flange, 7b, with open slots 9 g at the sides. Through these slots and the bottom of the off set fIOlll'llllG base-plate there pass the rivets, screws, or bolts 2' i, which firmly fasten the lower end ofthe bracketstandard into the seat formed for it on the base-plate. I then dip these two connected parts into a galvanizingvat, and the hot melted metal at once cements the joints of these two parts firmly together, stopping up the cracks and closing all lodging-places for dirt, and at the same time coats the whole surface of the base-plate and standard with the zinc, so as to render the press less susceptible to the attack of acid fruits and keep it clean and free from all rust or oxidation.
The platen D is formed with a downwardlyprojecting marginal flange, j, which tucks the fruit or other substance down about the sides of the cage, and in the center of the platen,
and upon its upper side, there is a concave seat, It, having radiating strengthening-ribs running therefrom. Into the concavity of this seat rests the lower end of the detachable screwshaft E. On the threads of this screw-shaft is arranged a square or other angular-shaped nut, F, having at its lower edge a flange, Z. This nut is designed to fit into a square or corresponding-shaped opening in the overhanging end of the bracket-standard. This opening acts as a wrench to hold the nut from turning while the screw-shaftis being revolved to force down the platen, while the flange of the nut rests against and finds an abutment against the lower side of the overhanging end of the bracket, to resist the strain exerted upon the platen.
\Vith the press as thus described, it will be seen that after the platen has been forced down and the pressing completed the crank-handle is turned back a few revolutions to relieve the strain, and the screw-rod, with its nut, is swung sidewise out of the opening in. the bracket, as in dotted lines, and after being lifted from the platen is removed from the press. The cage, with the platen and the compressed material, can then be readily removed from the base-plate and cleaned.
In modifying the construction of my invention I do not limit myself to the exact form shown. Thus, for instance, I may use a handwheel instead of a crank on the screw-shaft, and the bracket-standard may be made yokeshaped and connect with both sides of the base-plate.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. A press consisting of a base-plate, an overhanging bracket with an opening for a nut in the same, in combination with a platen, a screw-rod provided with a handle, and a nut arranged upon the threads of said shaft and fitting the opening in the bracket to prevent turning,and provided with a flange on its lower side to resist the pressing strain, the said nut and screw-shaft being detachable laterally from the bracket, substantially as shown and described.
2. A press consisting of the combination of a base-plate. an overhanging bracket, having an opening in the same to receive the nut, a
screw-shaft having a flanged nut on its threads, and a platen disconnected from the screw-shaft, and provided with a concave seat in its upper side to receive and centralize the screw-shaft, as and for the purpose described.
3. The combination, in a press, of'a base plate having the offset 6, with lips f f on its sides, and a bracketstandard having a flanged bottom, 71 with holes or slots 9 g in the same, and rivets or screws passing through said holes and the offset, substantially as and for the purpose described.
4C. The combination, in a press, of a baseplate and a bracket-standard formed in separate pieces and riveted, screwed, or bolted together, and a galvanized or coherent filling of zinc firmly united to both surfaces of thejoint,
and forming a non-detachable and perinanently-solid connection between said standard and base, as and for the purpose described.
