To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,Monrrz Fons'r, a citizen of Austria, residln at New York city, count and State ofl ew York, have invente a new and Improved Twine-Cutter, of which the following is a specification.

, This invention relates to a twine cutter of novel construction which is adapted to sever the twine, at a predetermined distance from the delivery nozzle, so that the protruding end may be readily grasped. The deviceis provided with areciprocative knife blade, which is so connected to the nozzle that upon the descent of the blade, the nozzle is swung at such a distance away from the blade as corresponds to the length of the free twine end to remain expose In the accompanymg drawing: Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a twine cutter embodying my invention; Fi 2 a plan; Fig. 3 an inner face view of t e blade and cooperating parts, showing the blade raised;

Fig. 4 an end view partly in section thereof,-

showing the blade lowered, and Fig. 5 a front elevation of a modification of the cutter.

A suitable casing 10-isprovided with a' spindle 11 upon which are rotatably mounted one or more twine spools 12. The drawing shows two of such spools to be carried by the spindle, to deliver twine of different strength, but it is obvious that a single s 001, or more than two spools may be emp oyed. As the cutting mechanism for both spools is alike, the description of such mechanism for one spool is equally a plicable to the other spool.

. casing 10, is fitted a face plate 13 apertured as at 1 1. Along the inner side of plate 13. and contacting therewith is free to verti cally reciprocate a slide or blade 15 having a lower cutting edge that cooperates with v the lower edge of aperture 14 to constitute twine cutting means. .Slide 15 carries a knob or handle 16 and is'provided with a longitudinal slot 17 that accommodates a guide pin 18, extending inwardly from piste 13 above aperture 14. The lower active end of blade 15 is upon the'descentof the blade, adapted to engaged by a pair of s ring fingers 19 secured to plate 13 and ten m to hold the blade firmly against the inner ace thereof. Below aperturel t, late 13 carries the bearings 20 for a pint e 21 upon which are free to oscillate the. two diverging shanks of a substantially V-shaped zle.

Into the si e ofis rovided with a tubular nozzle or thread guide 23 adapted to be projected outward through aperture 14 and accommodatin the passing through shanks oflever 22 and engaging with its hook-shaped ends 28 corresponding apertures of blade 15, operatively connects the partsin such a manner, that when the blade is depressed through finger piece 16, lever 22 with nozzle 23 1s swung inward and downward (Fig. 4), while u on a release of such pressure, spring 25 wil on swinging lever 22 outward and upward also raise blade 15. After a package has been tied up by the string drawn out of nozzle 23, blade 15 is lowered to retract the nozzle during the first part of the blades downstroke, a distance corresponding to the length of free twine end desired. Upon the completion of the downstroke, the string will thus be severed at the predetermined distance from the nozzle, so that a readily graspable twine end remains protruding from the noz- When the cutting operation is completed, pressure is taken ofi' blade 15, whereupon spring 25 will return all therparts to their normal position as indicated in Fig. 3. In Fig. 5 casing 10is omitted and plate 13 shown to be mounted on legs 29. With this modification the ball of twine may be carried by. a suitable bracket secured. to the wall, ceiling, counter or other support.
