Triumph
Penn
Hardware Company modified the frame to improve the latch mechanism and
add a push-off. To start one pulls back the threaded-shaft. When the
push-off is also pushed back the locking mechanism is activated. The
crank can now be turned and advanced towards the paring arm and slicing
blade. As the crank is turned it forces the push-off forward. When the
apple is pared and sliced the push-off has been advanced as far as it
will go and the locking mechanism slides down. This action simultaneously
locks the push-off and unlocks the threaded-shaft. The theaded-shaft
is pulled back and the apple is pushed off the fork. The end of the fork
pushes the locking mechanism up, which again locks the threaded-shaft
and unlocks the push-off. Once the push-off is placed back into position
another apple can be pared. This parer is marked TRIUMPH PAT. APRIL 4,
1882.
