GEORGE V. SHAW, OF DUBUQUE, IOWA,.ASSIGNOR OF TWO-THIRDS TO JAMES S. DONELLAN AND OTTO B. RIDGElVAY, OF SAME PLACE.
NUTMEG-GRATER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Lett ers Patent NO. 518,704, dated April 24, 1894.
Application filed Tune 29, 1893. Serial No. 479,187. lNo model.)
To a/ZZ whom it may concern:
13e it known that I, GEORGE V. SHAW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dubuque, in the county of Dubuque and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Nutmeg-Grater, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to nutmeg graters,
and especially that class having a rotary carrier, and has for its object to provide an improved grater of this general character which will be simple in its construction, compact in form, strong and durable, easily operated, and comparatively inexpensive in its manufacture. With these and other objects in View, the invention consists of the construction and arrangement of the parts thereof as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
.In the drawings :Figure 1 is a perspective Vlew of a grater embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view.
Simllar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawings.
Referring tothe drawings, the numeral 1 deslgnates a handle having a stub-shaft or shank 2 projecting therefrom, which may be a part thereof or applied thereto, and over which is mounted the grating box or receptacle 3, of approximate circular form, having an outer circular grating surface 4, and a dellvery spout 5 at the bottom that forms the sole means of exit from the said grating box or receptacle, and from which the grated material that has been deposited in the said box o1' receptacle may be directed or applied as found desirable. 'Within the said box or receptacle 3 is located a sleeve 6, that surrounds the shank or stub-shaft 2 and prevents the grated material that falls into the said box or receptacle fromV contacting with the said shank or shaft. It will be seen that the box or receptacle 3 is held rmly against the handle 1, and that part of the shank or stub-shaft 2 projects beyond the outer part of the said box or receptacle and passes through a sleeve 7 which is loose on the said shank or shaft and has its inner end located at or about the center of the grating surface 4. To the outer end of the said sleeve 7 is secured a crankhandle 8, through which the outer end of the shank or stub-shaft also passes and is secured at this point by a washer or nut 9, to thereby hold the said sleeve 7 in place, but at the same time permit it to have free rotating movement through the medium of the crank-handle attached thereto. Integrally formed, or secured in any other manner, to the sleeve 7, is a carrier 10, which extends from the outer level of the crank-handle inwardly adjacent to the grating surface 4, and is in the form of a tube of elliptical contour in cross-section. An opening 1l is formed in one side of the carrier to permit the ready insertion of-nutmegs thereinto, and the latter, when in position in the carrier, are engaged by a plunger or follower 12, that has opposite diainetrically-exposed double wire handles 13 attached thereto that project through oppositely-situated slots 14,having outer shoulders 15, the outer ends of the said handles 13 being looped and bent iu substantially a horizontal plane, as at 16, to form convenient grips. When it is desired to hold the plunger or follower away from the inner end of the carrier, the handles, thro ugh the medium of their grips, are drawn outwardly through the slots 14, and caused to engage the shoulders 15, to thereby hold the said 'plunger or follower clear of the bottom of the carrier. Between the outer portion of the center of the follower or plunger and the outer part of the carrier is located a coiled spring 17, that operates to normally force the said plunger or follower inwardly, or toward the end of the carrier adjacent to the grating surface, and when a nutmeg is thereunder to hold the latter firmly against the said grating surface. The crank-handle may be made as long as desirable, and the upper part of the grating `box is surrounded by a rim or flange 18 that prevents the grated material from flying olf the edge thereof and directs the same to the spout-end of the box or receptacle.
ln operation, the nutmeg is placed within the carrier under the follower or plunger, and the sleeve 7, together with the carrier and the nutmeg in the latter, are rotated over the gratlng surface t, by the crank-handle 8, which will produce a grating action and deposit the grated material within the grating box or receptacle.
In view of the construction of parts as stated, very little friction will be encountered and a rapidity of operation will ensu'e.
It will be understood that the grater ,as herein described may be employed for general culinary purposes in grating horse-radish, potatoes,l and other substances, and the cheapness of the construction of the device, and the formation of the carrier and its operating parts, independent of the grating box or receptacle, is of material and important advantage.
.Changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sac- 'lcing any of the advantages of this invenion.
IIaving described the invention, what is claimed as new isl. In a nutmeg grater, the combination of a grating box provided at one side with a grating surface, a shank or stub shaft extending outward from the grating box and arranged centrally of the grating surface, a handle extending horizontally from the opposite sides of the grating box, whereby the grating box may be held firmly by hand, and a carrier having at one side a longitudinal sleeve movably mounted on the shank or stub shaft and provided with a crank handle for rotating the carrier over the grating surface, substantially as described.
2. In a nutmeg grater, the combination of a handle, a grating box or receptacle mounted on said handle, the latter having a shank or stub-shaft extending centrally outwardly therethrough, a flange extending around the edge of the box on the grating side, and a rotatable carrier having at one side a longitudinal sleeve loosely mounted on the said stubshaft outside the grating surface of the said box or receptacle, substantially as described.
3. In a nutmeg gra-ter, the combination of a handle having a shank or stub-shaft, a grating box or receptacle of approximate circnlar form having a delivery spout at the bottom and a grating surface at the side of the same,
said box or receptacle being mounted upon v or plunger and the outer end of the carrier and acting to hold the follower in, and a crankhandle connected to the said sleeve and carrier for rotating said parts and causing the inner end of the carrier to travel over the grating surface of the box or receptacle, substantially as described.
4. The combination with a grating box having a grating surface, of a rotary carrier provided at its inner end at one side with an opening to permit the insertion of a nutmeg, and provided at opposite sideswith longitudinal slots having at theirnouter ends shoulders, the spring pressed follower arranged in the carrier, and the opposite handles extending from the follower and arranged in the slots and adapted to engage the shoulders thereof, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE V. SIIAV.
