Improved Machine for Slicing and Grating Cocoa Nut and other
Substances.
I LUKE COLLIER 14 The Walk Rochdale in the county of Lancaster Confectionery
Machine Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
The Machine consists of bedplate with two frame sides fitted with one or more 5
boxes on the top. The side frames are so constructed that one or more slides can
be used seperately for slicing and gratering cocoa nut and other substances.
The slides are made of wood with two metal rails to carry it for bearing and
knives fitted in the centre so that the cocoa nut or other substance being placed in the
box is pressed down on the slide then by a backward and forward motion work the
knife or slide so slice or grater the cocoa nut or substance as required.
The frame is fitted with a box or drawer to catch the cocoa nut or other substance
as it leaves the slide and can be removed at will.
Such being the nature of my invention I will now proceed to describe the manner
in which the same is to be performed and in order that the same may be thoroughly
understood I have shewn sectional drawings Figs. 1. 2 & 3 being plans and elevations
of same.
A is a box in which the cocoa nut or other substance is placed. B is a ram to force
the substance on to the cutter or grater D which works in space C.
:
The cutter or grater D receives a backwards and forwards motion cutting both ways 2
and thus slicing or gratering the cocoa nut or substance thus causing it to fall into
the drawer E which can readily be removed. Fis the cast iron frame in which the
drawer E works-G G are wrought iron nuts with which the frame F is bolted onto
the bedplate H.
I is the knife or grater by which the cocoa nut or other substance is sliced or
gratered either by using one or any number according to the class or nature of the
substance it is necessary to slice or grater.
said invention,
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The idea, form, and construction of a machine for slicing and gratering cocoa &
nuts and other substances substantially as herein described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
