What does a potato ricer do?

The potato ricer was in common use long before a version was patented, making it difficult to state an exact date of invention.Several types of potato ricer exist, each with it's own patent date and applications.The earliest patent for a device called a 'potato ricer' was US Patent #1,885,873, issued on November 1, 1932.This doesn't mean it was the first potato ricer, just an improvement on an earlier version.In Mrs. Norton's Rocky Mountain Cook Book Third Edition published in 1918 (first published in 1903 by Caroline Trask Norton of Denver Colorado), a potato ricer is mentioned.It's simply mentioned in passing, assuming that the home cook owned one or could easily get one, and not mentioned as anything new.It's reasonable to assume, then, that they existed and were fairly easily obtainable by home cooks prior to 1918.
