People often use the word contraption as a catchall name when they do not know the proper name for a mechanical device.

"What did this contraption do?" a student asked as they toured a museum.

"That is an early meat grinder used in the kitchen," the teacher explained, showing where meat chunks were inserted and the handle was turned.


"Who brought this contraption in here?" the boss demanded to know.

"It's a breast pump, so I can make up bottles for my baby," a woman replied.
