Description

C. GHANCEY.
OYSTER OPENER.
APPLIOATION IILED FEB. e, 1908.
903,055. Patented Nov. 3, 1908.
CHRISTOPHER C. GHANOEY, OF HARTFORD, ALABAMA.
OYSTER-OPENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed February 6, 1908.
Patented Nov. 3, 1908.
Serial No. 414,564.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER C. CHAN- OEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hartford, in the county of Geneva, State of Alabama, have invented new and useful Improvements in Oyster-Openers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in oyster openers; and the further object of the invention is to provide an opener that will be simple in its construction and operation.
To this end the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter described in detail and specifically claimed.
I have fully and clearly illustrated my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal view view of same. Fig. 2 is a top or plan thereof, and Fig. 3 is a detail view of the lever with the rivet applied thereto.
Similar letters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings; A designates the base for the purpose of holding the corresponding parts attached thereto in an upright position.
B designates the lower horizontal portion of the mechanism mounted on, and attached to the base A with the bolt H; B designates the angular portion of same, for the support of top horizontal portion B being attached thereto with the rivet G; B designates the perpendicular portion of same for the support also of the top horizontal portion B in which portion B are formed notches C.
B designates the top horizontal portion slotted for the reception of lever E, in which top portion are formed notches D that receive the rivet F.
The notches C are located in the perpendicular portion B to prevent the oyster from slipping while being pierced at the hinge with point of lever E.
E designates the lever located in the slot of the top horizontal portion B having rivet F put through it near the pointed end; and is movable so it can be adjusted forward and backward to fit the different lengths of oyster shells; E designates the pointed end of the lever E and is so arranged that with a downward move of the lever E, the same passes forward and as an entering Wedge pierces the hinge of the oyster shell rendering it convenient to separate the shell from the oyster.
The rivet F is located in the lever E, for the purpose of resting in notches D, to prevent lever E moving backward and downward when the pressure is put on lever point E.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In an oyster opener, a supporting frame having a substantially vertical portion, a lever bar pivotally mounted on said frame above and at one side of said vertical portion, the handle portion of said bar extending above the pivotal point thereof, the portion of said bar below the pivot having thereon a cutting edge in position to be forced between the halves of an oyster shell at one edge thereof, the opposite edge of the shell being held against the vertical portion of the frame.
2. In an oyster opener, a supporting frame having a top bar and a substantially vertical portion below said bar, said top bar having a plurality of slots formed therein each at a different distance from said vertical portion, a lever bar pivotally and interchangeably mounted in any one of said slots, and a cutting edge on one end of said bar extending toward the said vertical portion whereby oyster shells of different sizes may be placed with one edge against said vertical portion and the cutting edge inserted between the two halves of the shell at the opposite edge thereof.
8. In an oyster opener, a supporting frame having a top bar and a substantially vertical portion below said bar, said top bar having a plurality of slots formed therein each at a different distance from said vertical portion, a lever bar pivotally and interchangeably mounted in any one of said slots, and a cutting edge on one end of said bar extending toward the said vertical portion, said vertical portion having a plurality of notches formed therein on the side towards said cutting edge, whereby oyster shells of different sizes may be placed with one edge against said vertical portion and the cutting edge inserted between the two halves of the shell at the opposite edge thereof.
4. In an oyster opener, a frame having a substantially horizontal top bar and a substantially vertical portion below said bar,
said top bar having a longitudinal and verand projecting on both sides of said bar and 10 tical slot formed therethrough and a series of adapted to be interchangeably received in inclined notches formed in the upper edge of any one-of said notches.
said bar and extending through from side to In testimony whereof I affix my signature side thereof along said slot, a lever bar eX- in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
tending above and below said top bar through I CHRISTOPHER C. OHANOEY. 7 said slot, and having its lower end pointed. Witnesses: e and turned towards said vertical portion and Fox LIeHTFooT,
a pivot pin extending horizontally through C. L. METoALF.
