. FRUIT PARING ATTACHMENT FOR KNIVES. No. 593,633. Patented Nov. 16, v1897.
' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
BYRON ALLEN, OF SARATOGA, CALIFORNIA.
FRUIT-PARING ATTACHMENT FOR KNIVES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 593,633, dated NovemberlG, 1897. Application filed December '7, 1896. Serial No. 614,782. (No model.)
To cia-ZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, BYRON C. ALLEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Saratoga, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, have invented a new and useful Fruit-Paring Attachment for Knives, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates especially to attachments for knives employed for paring fruitssuch as apples, pears, itc-and has for its object the production of a device simple and cheap in construction and readily adjusted l to the blade of any knife.
To attain this end, my invention consists, essentially, of a gage constructed ofa rod with two flat spring-clamps at the ends to engage the blade of Jthe knife and by which the gage is held in line with the blade and also away from the cutting edge sufficiently to leave a throat for the parings to pass through.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure l is a side view of parer, showing position upon knife-blade.` Fig. 2 is a side view of the parer detached. Fig. 3 are details in perspective of the spring-clamps.
The gage-rod A consists of a piece of copper or non-corrosive metallic wire of sufficient length, both ends of which are bent around copper rivets B B, the curve forming eyes for.
the rivets and an anvil for the rivet-heads. Each rivet carries a flat spring C C, with one leaf bent upward upon itself to form a clamp for the edge of the knife-blade. The long arms of these leaves are pierced, and the point of the rivets B B extend up through the holes in the end of thegage-rod and are battered down upon the springs and held firmly in po sit-ion upon the washers B BX. These washers, however, may be dispensed with and the ends of the rivets be attened without the interposed washers, as no great strain will come upon ihe rivets.
In practice the edge of the knife-blade is inserted in thebow of the springs by prying outward the free-end arm of each leaf and pressing the knife-blade downward in position, so that the edge of the gage will be on a line about parallel with the edge of the knifeblade, when the knife-blade will perform the cutting and the edge of the gage will slip over the fruit, while the parings will pass backward through the throat or opening between the gage of the knife.
By this construction the thickness of the paring is reduced to a minimum, and considerable economy in fruit-paring, especially in apples, is had.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1 In a fruit paring knife, the combination with a knife-blade, of a gage-rod having curved ends and metal spring-plates riveted thereto bent at right angles, to engage with the knife-blade at separate points, as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I Witnesses:
C. W. M. SMITH, CHAs. E. KELLY.
