Filed Jan. 3o, 1967, ser. No. 612,492 U.s. c1. 14s-182 s im. c1. A231 1/21; A475 9/00 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, showing in dotted lines a stand from which rises a housing the operative elements of the invention shown in full lines, and the casing and stand having a hand rest, a receptacle being indicated on the stand;
FIGURE 2 is a composite View, with the elements in perspective, certain elements being broken away, 4and comprising the compression cylinder, the handle-carried screw, and Iassociated elements;
FIG. 3l is a vertical section through the elements of FIG. 2 in connected condition, the handle being partly broken away;
FIG. 4 is a vertical section on the line 4-4, FIG. 2.
Referring to the drawings and specifically FIG. 1, it will be seen that the device comprises a `base 1 from which rises a housing 2, the latter being shaped, in the embodiment shown, as the well-known Mister Peanut, the hat indicated at 3 having a vertical aperture indicated at 4. Opposed wall areas of housing 2 are apertured in a horizontal line to receive the operative structure shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, inclusive.
The operative structure consists of a tubular compression cylinder 5 carrying a normally -11p-standing, openended inlet tube section 6. At its rear end member 5 is formed with a die closure at 6X, the latter being formed with a narrow slot at 7. At its front end compression cylinder 5 is open and inwardly receives compression screw 8, the latter carrying a handle 9. Member 5 is preferably formed with an innermost shoulder 10 and with a second shoulder 11. These two shoulders of the compression cylinder abut corresponding shoulders formed on the screw 8 at its outer area. The die-closure 6X is formed with a central aperture at 12 to receive a headed rod 14, which is threaded at its end. This rod passes through opening 12 of the closure `die 6x thencejthrough an aperture at 15 which runs axially through the screw l8, its threaded end normally being positioned somewhat beyond the handle element 9. The threaded end of rod 14 receives a turn-nut 16, which bears against closure disk 17 to hold the assembly in connected condition. It will be noted that the closure disk 17 is preferably formed with two shoulders to abut the annular face 18, FIG. 2, of the compression screw and an inner shoulder 19, FIG. 2 of the screw. Thus, in the preferred form of the device, the closure disk 17 may rotate with the screw. Also in the preferred form of the device, the screw at its rear end, and axially thereof, s formed with a stub-axle which enters aperture 12 of the compression cylinder and closely lits the same, the stub yaxle having an aperture to receive threaded rod 14. The said stub axle is shown at 20.
A feature of the invention is that to enable compression and disintegration of the nuts in la controlled manner, to enable a child to operate the device easily and without jamming the screw in the compression cylinder. The screw is formed with receiving cavity at 21, to receive a single peanut if large or two peanuts of the small red type only, in each rotation of the screw. Of course the device is adapted for the paste forming of small nuts other than peanuts, almonds being an example.
In FIGURE 2 the compression cylinder is shown with a plurality of longitudinally extending channels 22 and hence with ribs between them, one rib being indicated at 23, FIGURE 2. However, such channel and rib arrangement is not essential for the operation of the device.
Various modifications may be made in the form and arrangement of the elements shown in the illustrated ernbodiment without departing from the spirit of the invention. While it is preferable that the inlet tubular member 6 of the compression be made as a separate member to be threaded or otherwise reasonably held on the outer surface of the cylinder body, as an alternative, the housing member 2 may be made of two connectable parts. When the structure is, as customary, of light weight, it is desirable that the left hand of the operator hold the device down on a support by grasping an arm such as that indicated at 23, FIG. l. In that figure the arm is shown as leading from the housing 2 and thence extending downwardly for lirm connection with the stand or base 1.
Having described my invention, what I claim and de sire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:
1. In a toy paste-strip forming device for peanuts and the like, a compression cylinder having a slot-like discharge opening vat one end, a compression screw in said cylinder, a handle device for rotating said screw, an inlet for nut kernels in said cylinder, and a controlling nutreceiving cavity in the screw in line with said inlet and adapted to limit discharge as to unit number of nut kernels into operation "by the screw in each of successive resolutions of said screw.
2. A toy paste-strip forming device for peanuts and the like, constructed in accordance with claim 1, in which the cavity in the screw immediately precedes the spiral ridge of the screw.
3. A toy paste-'strip forming device for peanuts and the like, constructed in accordance with claim 1, in combination with a die closure at one end of the compression cylinder, -and in which the slot-like discharge opening is formed, an axial aperture in said die closure, a headed rod passing through the compression screw via said opening, a handle device at the end of the cylinder opposite the closure die and receiving the threaded end of the rod, and a threaded member on the end of the rod engaging the exterior of the handle device.
4. A toy paste-strip forming device for peanuts and the like, constructed in accordance with claim 1, in combination with a housing, a base member for said housing, opposed apertures in the side wall of the housing, and receiving and supporting the compression cylinder, a tubular inlet member communicating with the top area of the housing and with the impression cylinder in line with the cavity of the compression screw, the Ihousing lbeing open to the top of said tubular inlet member.
5. A toy paste-strip forming device for peanuts and the like, constructed in accordance with claim 1, in which the compression screw is formed at its rear end with a References Cited UNITED STATES PATENTS 2,013,009 9/1935 Satzinger 146-186 12/1942 Davis et al. 146-182 FOREIGN PATENTS 1/ 1923 France.
