YARN-CUTTER.

My inventionhasrelation toyarn cutters, and the main ob ect of my invention is to produce a device of this type that will be simple in construction and operation, durable and inexpensive to manufacture.

A further object of my device is to provide a curved cuttingblade used therewith which is given both a forward and downward movement at the same time.

A further object of my invention is to provide means for measuring and holding the.

yarn in position so that the blade will make a smooth and clean cut of the same, and also means for holding the yarn when cut.

With the foregoing and other objects in view my invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of ts several parts as are fully shown in the accompanying drawings, and described in this specification and the claims hereunto attached. v

Referring more particularly to the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation of my in- Fig. 2 1s a topplan view thereof.-

vention. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of myinvention. Fig. 4 is a detail of theadjustable cutting blade in cross section and of theflolade oarriage also in cross section.

Referring more particularly to the drawings in which like numerals designate like parts throughout,"1ny invention is described as follows.

The frame consists of a bed plate, see Figs. 1 and 3, havinga normally inclined bottom portion 1, the left hand end of which termi Y nates in an arm 8, turned upwardly andto the right diagonally-over said bottom portion at an angle of about degrees forming in conjunction with said base, a V-shaped throat 6, the edges ofwhich V-shapedthroat are sharpened into cutting edges. The

right-hand end of saidbottoin portion turns up vertically and on",a line with the front end of said base and terminates in w rm 2, which is practicallyeircular; its front side being perfectly flat and smooth. Thefiat side of the blade carrier 11, is pivotally se- 4 Specification of Letters Patent.

length of the cut. Secured to the side of 3 said bed. plate opposite the said table 17 is a Q bar or frame a formed of abase '5, having the arms 5, 5, extending diagonally upward from each end thereof; and the'legs or supports 7, 8, which latter are vconnected to the legs of the bed plate by. means of the bolts having thereon the spacing sleeves 3.. The legs 1", 1", of the bed plate 'ofmy invention yet I may exercise the right and the legs 7,,8- of thebar a have each a. flat foot with an opening therein for securting said parts to a suitable support. y
