AUGUST A. RICKERT, OF ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR T0 RICKERT-SHAFER COMPANY, OF ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA.
ICE-CUTTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 22, 1916.
Application filed June 3, 1914. Serial No. 842,612.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUGUST A. Rioknnr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and use ful Improvements in Ice-Cutters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to ice cutters and consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows Figure 1 shows a plan view of the ice cutter. Fig. 2 a side elevation of the cutter. Fig. 3 a section on the line 3-3 in Fig. 1. Fig. l a section on the line 4-4: in Fig. 2.
The cutter as shown is designed to be clamped to a table or similar object and for this purpose is provided with the clamp 1. A platform ring 2 is secured to the clamp 1 by means of the screws 1. The cutter platform 3 is carried by the ring 2. It has a series of slots 4 through which extend the cutting blades 5 and 6, these being serrated and plain respectively. Ordinarily there are four of these knives, the serrated knives alternating with the plain knives. The knives are secured to the under-side of the platform by screws 7.
A stud 8 extends upwardly from the center of the platform 3 andthe driver 9 having the hub 10 is ournaled on the stud 8. A nut 11 on the top of the stud secures the driver in place. The driver has an opening;, 12 through which the ice is deposited on the platform 3. The driver 9 is arranged in spaced relation from the platform 3 and extends from the opening 12 with a driving and feeding surface 1%, this surface being in the form of a cam and in the structure shown is spiral. The space between the driver and the cutting platform leads from the opening in the form of a spiral wedge, the effect of which is to force the ice into engagement with the platform 3 and also to rotate the ice so as to bring it across the cutting blades. This driver, therefore, performs the double function of driving the ice and feeding it. A wall 9 around the edge maintains the ice within the driver.
One of the advantages of this structure is that a single small piece of ice may be cut rapidly and by extending the spiral practically to the platform the single piece without the introduction of a further piece of ice may be fed entirely through the cutter.
The arm 15 extends from the driver and the handle 16 is provided by means of which the driver may be conveniently turned.
Any receptacle may be attached to the ring 2. As shown the funnel shaped receptacle 17 is provided with the spring clips 18. These spring clips 18 are secured to the funnel 17 by screws 19 and have a small lug 20 formed in the sheet metal which is adapted to enter a detent 21 in the ring 2.
A holder 22 is secured to the clamp by means of the rod 23.
I prefer where the funnel shaped receptacle is used to make the platform 3 conically shaped, the effect of which is to throw the ice as it comes from the cutter toward the center so that it more readily passes through the funnel.
hat I claim as new is 1. In an ice cutter, the combination of a cutter platform, the platform being conically shaped; knives in the platform; and a rotating driver having a cam feeding surface in spaced relation to the platform.
2. In an ice cutter, the combinatlon of a cutter platform, the platform being conically shaped; knives in the platform; a rotating driver having a cam feeding surface in spaced relation to the platform; and a detachable funnel shaped receptacle below the platform.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
AUGUST A. RICKERT.

ARTHUR A. SHAFER, THOMAS C. MILLER.
