PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Combined Cullender and Potato Masher.
I DAVID APPLETON 28 George Street Cheetham Hill Manchester Mechanic
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvement relates to making a cullender so that it can also be used for a
vegetable masher. To explain it I stamp or otherwise cause to be placed on or
through the center, or bottom of cullender, a plain or perforated cup of any suitable
size or shape so that the closed end of cup is seen on the inside of cullender and
the open end on the outside.
To mash potatoes I place the cullender wrong side up over a tureen or other
receptacle, the potatoes are then placed in the cup and are mashed or pressed with
a metal or wood masher which causes the potatoes to pass through the perforations
and into the tureen or other receptacle.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Combined Cullender and Potato Masher.
I, DAVID APPLETON, of 28 George Street, Cheetham Hill Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a cullender that may also be used for a vegetable masher.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Fig. 1 represents a side view, and Fig. 2 a transverse sectional view of a combined
cullender and potato masher, constructed according to my invention.
Fig. 3 shows the application of the same cullender for use as a vegetable masher.
In the several views shown similar letters refer to similar parts.
In this invention I construct a combined cullender and potato masher by
forming in, or uniting to the bottom of a cullender such as are ordinarily
used, an inverted cup or bowl c, said cullender being formed by stamping from
metal, moulding from clay, or produced by other suitable means.
The closed end of the cup c is placed in the inside of the cullender, and the
open end, which may be more or less expanded, on the outside. The cullender is
perforated with holes d, as is also the cup or bowl c. The holes in the bowl c
are preferably of smaller diameter than the holes in the cullender b.
In order to use a cullender such as herein before described as a vegetable masher,
said cullender is inverted on a dish t as shown in Fig. 3, when the vegetables are
placed in the bowl c and beaten or pressed through the perforations d by means of
an ordinary wooden mallet or other cooking utensil.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
A combined cullender and potato masher constructed in the manner and for
the purpose substantially as herein before described.
