Complete Specification Accepted, 31st Aug., 1888
I HENRY FORMAN of Chellaston in the County of Derby, Commercial Traveller,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to an improved apparatus for squeezing lemons or other fruit
or vegetables or any other substances or matters.
My apparatus consists of a frame carrying a handle to be grasped by the operator.
On this frame I pivot another handle carrying a pinion, this pinion gears in a toothed
sector running through the fixed handle in the main frame.
The sector carries a frame which is hinged at the opposite side to the main frame
and which is so formed as to constitute a squeezing surface adapted for use in conjunc-
tion with a fixed surface carried by the main frame, the latter surface has a lip all round
it projecting slightly inwards so as to prevent the escape of juice when pressure is
brought to bear upon the lemon or other fruit or vegetable.
At the back of the fixed surface I form a grid or grating leading by a suitable
pipe or conduit to an outlet.
To use the apparatus, the fixed handle of the main frame is grasped by the operator
a half lemon or the like is inserted into the space between the two squeezing surfaces
with its cut face against the grid or grating.
The handle carrying the pinion is then turned causing the sector to run forward
bringing with it the hinged frame, so squeezing the lemon or like fruit or vegetable
between it and the fixed frame, with great economy of force.
The juice or fluid runs through the grid or grating, then through the pipe or
conduit to the outlet; thus, all waste or splashing of the juice or fluid is provided
against.

page_text: артомещени in Apparatus for Squeezing or Pulping Lemons or
other Fruit or Vegetables.
I HENRY FORMAN of Chellaston in the County of Derby Commercial Traveller
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 :-
My invention relates to an improved apparatus for squeezing or pulping lemons or
other fruit or vegetables or any other substances or matters capable of treatment by
such apparatus.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Fig. 1 shews a vertical elevation of my
apparatus open to receive (say) a lemon and Fig. 2 a vertical sectional elevation of the
same.
My apparatus consists of a frame A carrying a handle B to be grasped by the
operator. Such could be integral with the frame or be attached thereto as shown or
in other suitable manner.
On this frame Al pivot another handle C capable of entire or partial revolution and
carrying a pinion D.
This pinion gears into a toothed sector E running through a slot in the main frame
or handle, or the frame might be so arranged that the sector might run on either side
of it.
The sector E carries a frame F which is pivoted thereto at G and also hinged at H
to the opposite side of the main frame and which is so formed as to constitute or
carry a squeezing surface I adapted for use in conjunction with a fixed surface or
bowl J having a lip round it to rest on a flange K in the main frame, and which may
have the lip projecting slightly inwards so as to prevent the escape of juice when
pressure is brought to bear upon the lemon or other fruit or vegetable.
The lip
fit the flange accurately or carry projections to engage with recesses in
the flange. I perforate or arrange the back of this fixed surface 3 so as to form a
grid or grating leading by suitable pipe or conduit L to an outlet.
I further provide on the end of the sector E, a stop M which can abut on the
outside of the flange K in the main frame A and so stop the sector entirely dis-
engaging with the pinion D.
To use the apparatus the fixed handle B of the main frame A is grasped by the
operator a half lemon or the like is inserted into the space between the two squeezing
surface with its cut face against the grid or grating. The handle C carrying the
pinion D is then turned causing the sector E to run forward bringing with it the
hinged frame F so squeezing the lemon or other fruit or vegetable between it and
the fixed bowl J in the frame A with great economy of force."

page_text: The juice or fluid runs through the grid or grating in the bowl J then through the
pipe or conduit L to the outlet thus I avoid as much as possible all waste or splashing
of the juice or fluid.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
In an apparatus for squeezing or pulping lemons or other fruit or vegetables the com-
bination with a toothed pinion mounted on a frame and in which is fitted a bowl such
as J having a grid, grating or perforated lower surface and provided with a spout
or conduit such as L, of a toothed sector hinged to the frame carrying the squeezer,
such toothed sector engaging with the pinion whereby on the operation of the latter
by handle or otherwise the lemon or other object placed in the bowl J may be squeezed
or pulped substantially as described.
