SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0.703,518, dated July 1`, 1902.
Application filed July 13, 1901i To a/ZZ whom, it may concern:
. Be it known that I, ALBERT BAUMGARTEN, a resident of Freeport, countyof Stephenson, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Squeezers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The present invention relates to devices used for expressing the juice from lemons, limes, and the like, and designs to provide a squeezer which can be produced at a low cost, which is simple in construction and elcient in operation.
The invention consists in the several novel features of construction hereinafter set forth, and more particularly defined by claims at the conclusion hereof.
In the drawings, Figure l is a plan view of a squeezer embodying the preferred form of the invention. Fig. 2 is a view in section taken on line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an inverted plan of the pivotal connectionbetween frame members. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the parts in a position assumed while the frame members are being assembled or disconnected. Fig. 5 is a section on line 5 5 of Fig. 2.
The squeezer comprises two pivotally-connected frame members A and B. Frame member A is provided with a lever-handle A and with a cup-like integral portion d, which serves as 'one of compressing parts. Frame member B is provided witha ,handle B and an integrally-formed cone or plunger b, which serves as the other of compressing parts, and
to catch and retain the expressed juice. A spout b2 directs the juice as it ispoured from the receptacle b. The pivotal connection between the frame members comprises longitudinally-projecting lugs b2 and b3, integrally formed with member B, and each of these lugs is provided with an elongated slot b4 and an arm or lugv a2, having an integral pivot-stud as, projecting llaterally from each side thereof and adapted -to be held in slots b4 of lugs b2 and b3. Slots b4 are arranged substantially parallel with the frame members when in closed position. Arm a2 fits loosely between pivot-lugs b2 and b3 to permit a slight lateral relative shift of the frame members, so the compressing parts-4l. e.,the
Serial No; 68,152, (No model.)
cup and cone-will be free to relatively position each other laterally during the shift of the frame members to express the juice from alemon and according to the position and size of the lemon. The slots b4 are elongated to permit a play of the pivot-stud therein and a relative longitudinal shift of the frame members, so the compressing parts will position each other longitudinally during the shift of the frame members toward each otherand so the compressing parts will be free to be relatively positioned by the lemon during the operation of the members to express the juice from a lemon and according to the position and size of the lemon.
The space formed between pivot-lugs b2 and b4 is somewhat wider at the lower portions, as seeninFigs and 5 of the drawings, to permitV the terminal of the pivot-stud to be shifted laterally out of one of the slots b4, as shown in'Fig. 4c, after which-theframe member A canbe swung ,into the position indicated` indotted lines in Fig. 2.r Throughout its working strokethe frame member A is confined by and between the upper portion of the pivot-lugs and lugs 19H-so the pivotstud cannot be shifted laterally the extent necessary tofree thestud from slots b4.
When the framev members are to be assembled, the parts are iirst held in about the relative position shown in dotted lines of Fig. 2, so one terminal of the pivot-stud can be inserted angularly into the corresponding slot b4 of one of the pivot-lugs, as shownby dotted lines, Fig. 5, and thence into the'position yshown in Fig. 4. A relative lateral shift of the frame members will then cause the other of the pivot-studs'to pass into the other slot b4. The frame members can then be swung into working position, as shown in full lines in Fig. 2, and will then be pivotally connected.
lThe upper portions of the pivot-lugs and lugs h6 serve to prevent sufficient lateral fmovelnent to permit the studs to be withdrawn from the' slots during the operation of the squeezer. The edges of slots b4 are rounded to permit the studs to be inserted at an angle. (See Fig. 5.)
The operation will be as follows: Alemonsection is held between the cone and cup until-the frame members have been shifted to hold the lemon. The handle will then be IOO forced together to express the juice from the lemon. During such shift of the members it will, by reason of the loose pivotal connection, be free to permit the cup and cone to be guided longitudinally and laterally by each other and according to the size and shape of the lemon-section therebetween and will always cause the lemon-section to be evenly distributed around the cone.
The invention possesses numerous advantages. The construction is simple throughout. The stud and slotted lugs are constructed and arranged so that these can be integrally formed with the frame members and can be quickly assembled and interlocked, so they cannot be disconnected during the usual operation of the squeezer. The necessity of accurately fitting the parts is entirely avoided, since the parts are loosely connected and are positioned during operation by the compressing parts.
The invention provides a squeezer for lemons, limes, and like articles which is simple and inexpensive in construction, is formed of few elements, can be quickly assembled, and is efcient in operation.
I do not wish to be understood as claiming in this application certain features which are claimed in an application filed by me March 3, 1899, Serial No. 707,608.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. In a squeezer, the combination with two members provided respectively with a cup and a cone, of a pivotal connection between said members, comprising a pivot and apertured bearing-lugs with which said pivot en*- gages, said bearing-lugs and pivot being integrally formed respectively with said members, said pivot and bearings being constructed and formed so the members can be connected together, or disconnected only when the members are shifted to an angle greater than forty-live degrees with respect to each other.
2. In a squeezer, the combination with two members, provided respectively with a cup and a cone, of a pivotal connection between said members, comprising a pivot and apertured bearing-lugs with which said pivot engages, said bearing-lugs and pivot being integrally formed respectively with the said members, said pivot and bearings being constructed and formed so the members can be connected together or disconnected by turning the parts laterally only when said members are shifted to an angle greater than forty-ve degrees with respect to each other.
3. In a squeezer, the combination with two members, provided respectively with a cup and a cone, of a pivotal connection between said members, comprising a pivot and bearing-lugs having elongated apertures therein, said bearing-lugs and pivot being integrally formed respectively with the said members, said pivot and bearings being constructed and formed so the members can be connected or disconnected by turning the parts laterally only when said members are shifted to an angle greater than forty-five degrees with respect to each other.
4. In a squeezer, the combination with two members provided respectively with a cup and a cone, of a pivotal connection between said members, comprising a pivot and apertured bearing-lugs in which said pivot has a lateral play, said bearing-lugs and pivot being integrally formed respectively with the said members, said pivot and bearings being constructed and formed so the members can be connected or disconnected when the members are shifted to an angie greater than forty-iive degrees with respect to each other.
5. In a squeezer, the combination with two members, provided respectively with a cup and a cone, of a pivotal connection between said members and comprising an arm, apivotstud on said arm, and bearing-lugs between which said arm will be held, said lugs having elongated apertured bearings therein, and being formed at an angle to permit suiicient lateral play of the arm and pivot, to permit the members to be connected or disconnected when the members are swung out of working position.
