EDMIEIRTST’S PATENT PORTABLE 
CIDER AND WINE MILL AND PRESS. 
T HE annexed Cut and Diagrams represent the latest 
improved Mill and Press in use. It having been 
extensively and successfully introduced for three 
years past, and such improvements as experience has 
suggested have from time to time been adopted, which 
makes it without question the most complete in all 
its parts and operations, and has no equal in the coun¬ 
try. 
The apples are reduced to a fine pulp by a cylinder 
grater, which is propelled by hand power by crank, 
or by a band from any other power, as horse, steam, 
or water. The apples are fed up to cylinder by 
means of a plunger or piston, which traverses to and 
from the cylinder in the bottom of the hopper, there¬ 
by moving steadily and with even force the apples, 
whether hard, soft, large or small, and avoiding all 
possibility of choking or clogging, or unevenness in 
fineness of the pulp. This plunger is moved forward 
by a wedge cam propelled by a band from the driving 
shaft of the mill ; the plunger recedes from the cyl¬ 
inder by the force of a simple wood spring, thus ad¬ 
vancing nine-tenths of all the time, and requiring but 
one-tenth the time to return to its starting position, 
and receive another charge of apples, for each revo¬ 
lution of cam. 
The feeding force being produced by band connec¬ 
tion, avoids all accidents to mill or person from get¬ 
ting foreign hard or injurious substances into the mill, 
as the band will yield and slip on itspullies sufficient¬ 
ly to avoid injury, whereas all gear feeding mills must 
be damaged by such an occurrence. 
The Press is of more importance even than the oth¬ 
er parts. As from all experience in presses, it is sat¬ 
isfactorily established that where the pressure is ap¬ 
plied upon a single point of the follower, a very large 
percentage of power applied is required to overcome 
friction, torsion, &c., &c., as also a loss of time in repeated 
adjustments of the follower, &c. To obviate these diffi¬ 
culties, the Press is provided with three parallel screws, 
positioned to apply the force with uniform motion upon 
three points equally distant from the center of follower 
and each other. The screws are forced down by the nuts 
themselves, revolving by means of cogs in their edges, like 
cog wheels, and working simultaneously by a lever applied 
to the top of the fourth cog-wheel, which last works into 
each of the said nuts, and all move together.

G—Small speed gear on cylinder shaft, for driving it 
when worked by hand. 
II—Large gear wheel on crank shaft, working into pin¬ 
ion G to drive cylinder. 
K—Piston, shown by dotted lines, operated by cam F, 
in its center, and serves to press forward the apples 
against the grating cylinder. 
O—Band connecting feed-pulleys C and E. 
X X—Top-girts or supporting plates of mill. 
Y Y Y—Cross-girts of frame-work. 
The Mill is provided with a tank below, to receive the 
apples as they are ground for a barrel of cider. The Mill, 
when worked by two men, can grind and press from 6 to 8 
barrels per day, and when the grinding is done by power, 
nearly double that amount can be done. The Press is 
equally well adapted for wine, cheese, lard, pressing 
clothes, &c„ &c. Price $50. Liberal discounts to all who 
purchase to sell again, or where several are sent to one 
address. EMERY BROTHERS,
