JOSEPH BOYLAN of 28 Milton Terrace Halifax in the County of York, Mechanical
Engineer do bereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Apparatus constructed according to my invention is for purpose of extracting peas
from the pod, and consists of a suitable bracket, or frame work which carries a pair of
gripping rollers preferably covered with rubber the latter are geared and work
together, the periphery of each roller coming in close proximity, the pea pods are
placed in a hopper at the front of the two rollers. On the axle of the bottom roller
is a handle whereby the bottom roller is turned, a wheel on its axle gears with and
drives a wheel on the axle of the top roller, thus rotating the two rollers in a similar
manner to the ordinary wringing machine. The pods are placed in the feed hopper,
the handle turned drawing the pods between the gripper rollers which open the pod
and force the peas out. The feed hopper is provided with a hinged door or guard to
prevent the peas from being forced out of the machine except by their own outlet,
below the two rollers. The bottom roller is provided with a strickle for keeping the
roller clean. The apparatus can be cramped to a table, the pods passing through the
rollers into a receptacle and the peas passing into another receptacle entirely apart
from the pods.
