Josiah D. Harrington, Rochester NY May 17^th, 1859

The claim and engraving explain the nature of the invention.

The inventor says: I claim, first, the construction and arrangement of the divided handle whereby the crank C not only serves to hold the two halves of the ball together while roasting, but also to lift up one half of the ball when moved into the position shown.

Second. I claim my method of uniting the two halves of a coffee roaster by means of the hinge E, formed of the curved jaw attached to one half of the ball and passing into a slot in the second jaw, said slot having the pin R, beneath which the carved jaw passes.
