PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Appliance for use with Potato Mashers and
other similar Articles, to Prevent the Juice or other Matter from
Squirting over Surrounding Objects.
1 HENRY SEAWARD BOWLES GOODALL, of 7 Bartletts Buildings, in the County of
Middlesex, Merchant, (a communication from Alfred de Connick of 6 Rue de Paradis,
Paris, Merchant), do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to a new or improved appliance for use with Potato-mashers
and other similar articles, to prevent the juice from squirting over surrounding
objects, and consists of a piece of tin or other suitable metal or material having a
flat surface equal in size to the breadth of the Potato-masher or other similar article,
or of any suitable size, with two sides which fix in any suitable manner on to the end
of the Potato-masher or other similar article.
I cover the top of the appliance in, and leave an opening at the bottom, for the
juice or other matter to run out.
When in use the juice or other matter squirts out of the Potato or other similar
article under the pressure brought to bear upon it, and instead of squirting all around
as heretofore, it strikes the sides, top, or front of the appliance and falls through the
opening in the bottom.
