IMPROVEMENT IN MEAT AND VEG-ETABLE-CUTTERS.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettera Patent and making part of the same.

l'o all whom it may concern: p

Be it known that we, PAUL BONEILS and 4JOHN Gnossn'rANN, both of West Hoboken, in the eountyof Hudson and vState of New Jersey, have invented a new and, improved Machine for Mincing Meat and Vegetables; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a plan or top view of our invention'. Figure 2, a side sectional view of the salue, takenin the line :t a', iig. 1. v

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two `ilgures. l w

This invention consists of a rotary table or chop-` ping-block, in vcombination with one or more knives or cutters, arranged or applied in a novel way, so as to operate conjointly with the rotary table or ehop-- ping-block, and effect the vresult desired in a very thorough manner.

A represents a base, ou which the working -partsof the machine are placed, and

is a rotary chopping-block, which turns ona pin,

a, as a center, said'block having a horizontal position, as shown in the drawing.

The block B is constructed of wood, encompassed by a metal rim, b, which extends upward a tride higher than the blocks,'iu order to prcventthe substance to be eut from falling oi' from theblock.

At the bottom of the latter there is a concentric gear, C, or-worm-wheel, into which a screw, D, on a shaft, E, meshes, said shaft' being placed transversely on the base, and connected, bygears c c, with a driving-shaft, F, having its bearings d d also on the base A.

The shaft 11 is turned by a crank, c.

On the shaft 11 there are seemed wipers, f, the number of tbe latter corresponding to the number of knives or cutters used.. f

'These wipers act against projections g on the shafts (i, to which the knives or cutters 1I of the machine are attached. Two shafts, G G, are shown in the drawing, but more or less may be used, as desired.

'These shafts work on a rod, h., which passes through The meat or vegetables to be cut are placed nponv the block B,'and, the shaft' F being turned, the wipers f j' raise the shafts'G G, and, consequently, the cntters H H conseeutively,4the springs j j forcing the shafts and cutters down, as the wipers pass or leave the projections g y, During the operation of the eutters the table orpblock B is rotated by the sclewD and worm-wheel or gear C, and the whole of the substance onthe block B will consequently beactedupon by the ctter,tl1e substance being kept within the scope of the action of the cutters by a curved plate, J, which extends-over the upper surface of the block.

In order to remove Vthe eut meatorvegetablesfroiu' the blockB, the screw j x is unscrewed,and the head I raised'np, so that the shafts G Gand cutters H H will be entirely out-fof the way.

Having thus described our invention, What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

' 1. The combination of pivotedl choppers H, the

hinged plate'I, and screw i",or it-s equivalent, so that the choppers may be turned back, when desired, to permit the ready removal of the chopping-tray and contents, as set forth.

2. The rotating chopping-block B, moved by a worm-gear C, the pivoted ehopping-lmives H, station-r ary scraper J, and the 'driving mechanism, all constructed and arranged as set forth, and for the purpose described.
