A pair of arms attached to the moveable crushing plate have ends extending out beyond the structural elements. An operating lever is carried by the structural elements and has a first end over said crushing plates and coupled to the arms on the moveable crushing plates. The apparatus is operated by application of manual force to the second end of the lever.
