SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,518, dated June 13, 1882.
Application filed Octoer 31, 1881. (No model.)To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Wi-LLIAm I. FLEMING,
of Thorp's Spring, in the county of Hood and
State of Texas, have invented certain new and
5 useful Improvements in Coffee-Mills; and I do
hereby declare that the following is a full,
clear, and exact description of the invention,
which will enable others skilled in the art to
which it appertains to make and use the same,
to reference being hadtotheaccompanying draw-
ings, which form a part of this specification,
and in which-
Figure l is a vertical section of my improved
coffee-mill. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section, and
15 Fig. 3 is a side view, of the same.
This invention has relation to an improve-
ment in coffee-mills; and it consists in the
combination and arrangementof theparts, con-
structed substantially as hereinafter more fully
20 set forth and claimed.
Referring to the accompanying drawings,
A indicates the inclosing case or box of the
grinding mechanism and other parts of the
mill. This box is subdivided into a hopper, a,
25 arranged directly above the grinding wheels
or disks B B', into a chamber, a', for holding
the coffee in grains, and into a second cham-
ber, a2, for holding the sliding drawer CO,which
receives the ground coffee falling from the
30 grinding-disks B B'. The inner disk, B', is
secured in an upright position, its upper end
being fastened to the lower end of the partition
forming the compartment or hopper a, and its
lower end fastened to a right-angled portion
35 of the top of the chamber a2, as seen in Fig. 1.
The grinding-disk B is operated by the handle
D, the shaft b of which is supported by a disk,b', affixed thereto and revolving in a covered
recess or chamber in the grinding-disk BR', and
by a cross bar or bridge, c, detachable con- 40
nected to the case or box A by screws a' pass-
ing through the front of the case and the disk
or burr B', and through pieces d' interposed
between the inside of the front of the case and
the burr B', as seen in Fig. 2. The screws d 45
are nutted upon the back of theburror disk B'.
To the bottom of the box A are affixed legs
E, having their inclined faces or sides E' fac-
ing inwardly and toward each other, as clearly
shown, the object of which is to enable the 50
box to be easily supported upon and to prevent
its falling off the knee of the operator while
grinding the coffee.
HIaving thus fully described my invention,
I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat- 55
ent-
In a coffee-mill, the combination of the case
A, having the chambers a' sa and the hopper
a, the burr or grinding-disk B', fastened to
the lower end of the inner side of the hopper 6o
a and to the upper side or top of the chamber
a', the burr or grinding-disk B, shaft b, hav-
ing a disk, b', revolving in a covered recess or
chamber in the burr B', bridge c, screws d, and
handle D, substantially as and for the purpose 65
set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own I have hereunto affixed my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
