DAVID HWHIT'rEMoR-E, or WORCESTER, MAssAoHU'sEr'rsf Letters Patent No. 93,574, dated August 2), 1869.l

IMPROVE!) APPLE-FABER AD SLCER I The Schedule referred to 4vin these Letten Patent` and making -part of the same.

To allwhom lit may concer-a Be it; known that I, DAVID H. WHITTEMORE, of Vorcester, in the county of Worcester, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful 1mprovemen'ts in Apple-Paling Machines and Iv do here.- by declare the following to be a full, clear, and exaotdescription of the same, due reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a side view of my improved apple-parerA and slicer;

by the er K.

L is the crank-wheel, giving motion to both the screw and fork-shafts.

The carriage is made to both slide and turn freely on the rod G, and has'a projecting arm, I, the end of which lits between the threads of the screw'H.

lhe holder H is pivoted at one end'to the carriage F, and the other is so formed as to hook over. the screw H, and rest on it, holding the arm I into the, screw.

At i isa stud, againstwhich a projection, J, on vthe screw hitsto throw oli' the'holder.

The paring-knife D is hung on pivots, at the bottom of its stem, and has a-spring, to press it against the apple, and a sind at o, resting on tire edge aoi' frame A, to guide the knife D clear of the forli, when not paring, the spring 4m allowing` the knife 1) to conform tothe sin-tace ofthe ap'plc,'whilst holding it to its work. l

The fork C is set at an angle with the slide G, as

J is a projection on the screw, to release the l\old' shown in fig. 3, giving a taper to the'core left by the' The frame being placed on the edge of a'tab1e,a

turn or twv of the screw B will hold itfirmly.

The apple. or objectto be paired is placed on the fork 0, and the carriage F turned to place, as in fig.' 2. The holderK falls over the screw H, and motion being given to the crank, the Icarriagel is drawn along, bringing the knives to .the apple, and if it is desired at any time to release the carriage, a slight backward motion of the screw raises -the holder, and

letsi the carriage fall'to the position shown in tig. 2, in dotted lines, or when the apple isufinished the projection J hits the stud t on theholder, and t lrows it off..l

The advantages of this machine over-those patented by lne in 1857, for the same purpose, on which this is an improvement, are manifest; the facility of paring small apples, without usingl the whole length of slide, the greater security afain'st getting out of order, in having the frame of sid metal, and others, making it a more convenient and effective parer and slieer; and when the slicing-imite is removed, for simply paring the apple, the slide can be more readily disengaged, as soon as the paring is `done. l l

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

1. The colvnbination of the carriage with its holder' l and the screw, operating substantially as above set forth.

2. The combination of the projection J on the screw with the holder K and its stud i, substantially as described. V

3. The arrangement and combination of the hohling-device, consisting of ythelfork and its shaft, with the parini,r and slicing-device, consisting of the carriage, knives, holder, and slide-rod, the screw-shaft or driving'- apparatus, and the solid frame, whencon-'f strncted and operating in the mannerand for the purposes above set forth and described. l
