I have received images of a mechanical device from South America.

It contains a plate with circular bowls rotating counter clockwise when winding up a spring using a key. 4 or 3 firmly fastened metal blades wipe of the surface while the plate rotates and a wooden blade is lowered underneath the surface (we believe) when the plate is rotating.
The text noted on the device does not give a clue, but the word 'vencion' or 'de vencion' is not common Spanish, but can mean aid or adding device in Portuguese.

The solution may be hidden in the markings on the side. The entire text is not visible but some. It states:
"NTE DE VENCION NO 15579. MARCA REGISTRADA. JUAN L DOMINGUEZ. DIONEA"

"vencion" may be a legal term, and Dionea could be the name of a village or city.


Anyone have an idea? Please help me...
