KITCHEN U TENSlL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Fatent No. 655,471, dated August Application filed April 6, 1899. Serial No. 711,921. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HARRY WIESER, a citi= zen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Kitchen Utensils, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in kitchen utensils, and has for its objects to provide a simple and effective device of this description by means of which potatoes and other vegetables may be mashed and thoroughly disintegrated and at the same time dried by permitting any moisture which may be therein to pass through the perforated bottom, and also to provide for the straining of soups in which solid matter is contained, so that said solid matter will be also disintegrated and caused to pass through the perforated bottom in sizes best adapted for the purpose, so as to prevent material of undue size being contained in the soup when ready for serving.
\Vith these ends in view this invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then specifically designated by the claim.
In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, the construction and operation will now be de scribed in detail, referring to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this, specification, in which- Figure 1 is a sectionof my improved utensil, showing the oscillating lever in position; Fig. 2, a plan view thereof, and Fig. 3 a side View of the oscillating lever removed from the utensil. Fig. 4C is a sectional view of one of the strips F.
In carrying out my invention as here em= bodied, A represents the body of the device, which is rectangular in plan, the sides thereof being semicircular, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, and these sides are connected by the cross-bars B, through which pass the bolts 0, having nuts'D run thereon. The bottom of the receptacle consists of a perforated or wire screen, which is secured to the semicircular strips F, the latter being connected together by the cross-strips G, by which arrangement this bottom is adapted to be fitted to the re ceptacle or removed therefrom, the side strips F fitting upon the outside of the sides of said receptacle,thereby holding the bottom against sidewise displacement, and this bottom is held against downward strains by the latchhooks H engaging with the lugs I, projecting from the cross-strips G. These latch-hooks are pivoted in the clips J and are caused to swing into or out of engagement with the lugs I for attaching or detaching the bottom to the device. Slots K are formed in the sides to provide bearings for the journals L of the 0scillating lever M, said lever consisting of two side bars and a cross-bar N. This lever is adapted to receive the reducing-rolls O and P, which are here shown as octagonal in' cross section, being'secured upon the rods Q, which pass through holes in the side bars of the oscillating lever, whereby the rod 0 is jou rnaled so as to revolve; but the roll P is preferably made stationary by the ends of the side bars fitting in recesses formed therein or by any other suitable means.
R denotes suitable handles for lifting or manipulating thedevice, and in practice I prefer to have the curved strips F project below the perforated bottom, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, and have ,notches S formed therein, by means of which it may be set upon a pan or receptacle T, into which the material being mashed or disintegrated may pass through the perforated bottom. Another object of having the curved strips F project below the perforated bottom is that the device may be set directly upon a table without bringing the bottom in contact with the surface of the table, which will permit the mashing of potatoes and the like without placing the device over a pan, as just described.
If desired, suitable legs may be formed with or secured to the device, whereby it may be supported, and the pan for receiving material therefrom may be placed between said legs and under the bottom. This is the preferred construction when the device is to be made of large size for use in hotels and the like; but the device as shown is preferably for household use.
A decided advantage of my improved utensil is that it may be readily taken apart and cleaned, since the bottom is removed by simply swinging the catch-hooks H out of engagement with the lugs I, and the oscillating lever is removed by lifting it from the slots K.
It is to be noted that the oscillating lever carries two rolls 0 and P, and these may be removed and others substituted therefor by springing the side bars M outward at their outer ends, which will cause them to pass beyond the rods Q, thus freeing the roll, another being substituted in the same manner, and it is further to be noted that the cross-bars B are curved upon their under side and project inward to a considerable distance, so that when the oscillating lever is operated it ca nnot be swung past a certain limit, since the bottom roll carried thereby will come in contact with these cross-bars.
In practice the polygonal-shaped rolls are preferable for certain purposes, while rolls round in cross-section are better adapted for other purposes, and by the arrangement here shown a series of these rolls may be utilized as desired.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful is- In combination, a suitable receptacle or body, cross-bars connecting the sides thereof, catch-hooks pivoted to the cross-bars, curved strips adapted to fit over the lower edges of the body, said strips having notches therein, a support for the curved strips, cross-strips G connecting the curved strips, a perforated screen secured to said strips, lugs projecting from the cross-strips with which the hooks are adapted to engage, as and for the purpose set forth. c
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
HARRY WIESER.
