BENJAMIN DRAY, OF GLASGOW, SCOTLAND.
VEGETABLE-CUTTER;
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 19, 1918.
Application filed July 21, 1915. Serial No. 41,137.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN DRAY, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Glasgow, in the county of Lanark, Scotland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vegetable-Cutters, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvements in appliances for cutting vegetables or the like into chips or strips of various shapes and sizes.
One form of construction of the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an outside elevation of a machine according to the invention.
Fig. 2 is a partial corresponding plan view.
Fig. 3 is a partial sectional view.
Fig. 4 is an end sectional view.
Figs. 5, 6 and 7 are detail views showing various forms of cutters in which in Fig. 5 the cutters are fixed to the blade, and Figs. 6 and 7 the cutters are carried by the block 11, though they might if desired be also carried by the knife.
The cutting apparatus is mounted on the base 1 adapted to be clamped to a table or the like 2 by means of a detachable clamp 3 having two arms 4 which engage within the yoke of the U-shaped frame 1. The pressure stud 5 of the clamp 3 is preferably arranged to lie midway between the two arms 4. A push bar 6 for engaging the vegetable or like article to be cut slides in guides in the upper portion of the frame 1 to cooperate with a knife 7 detachably mounted in the machine. The knife 7 is preferably in the form of a U-shaped blade with side portions extending into dovetail slots 8 in the upper extension 9 of the frame, being clamped therein by means of one or more set screws 10. Other clamping means for the knife 7 may however be adopted. The knife 7 cooperates with a cutting member 11 in the form shown, consisting of a bar having a plurality of cutting blades 12. The bar 11 fits into a socket 13 arranged in the base of the portion 9. It is usually not necessary to clamp this in the socket but such means could be provided if desired. The leading edge of the cutting blade 7 is preferably tapered as shown, that is to say, flat on its upper surface and tapered on its lower surface so that there will be a tendency to feed the material being cut downward and not upward away from the cutting blades.
The push bar 6 is connected to a plate 14 engaging over the'edges of the frame 9 or otherwise guided thereon, a portion 15 being cut away from the frame 14. to allow the vegetable to be sliced to be inserted therethrough. The push bar 6 is connected by pin and socket means 16 with a link 17 connected to an operating handle 18 pivoted at 19 to the frame 1. To produce a variety of shapes of article the knives 7 and 12 may be varied in shape. For instance, the edge of the blade 7 may be corrugated in form. It is however preferred to keep this of the shape shown in Fig. 3 and to usually vary the shape of the under cutting member 11. If desired however the blade 7 may be provided with an upper series of cutting blades 20 (Fig. 5). In order to form star or diamond shaped pieces the lower cutting bar 11 may have mounted upon it cutting blades.
formed by bending a strip 21 into the form shown in Fig. 7. If desired also of course it would be possible to add a further cutting bar above the blade 7 in slots in the sides of the frame 9 similarly disposed to the cutting bar 11. The arrangement shown however is the preferred construction.
The cutting away as shown at 15 will provide the pusher bar 6 with a returner-bar or plate 22 so that the vegetable which has been cut on the edge of the blade 7 by the one stroke of the push bar 6 will be drawn back to fall down to the base 23 of the machine on which the push bar 6 is sliding to be again out at the predetermined spacing of the blade 7.
It is obvious that means may be provided to adjust the spacing of the blade 7 above the bottom plate 23.
The blade 7 is supported at its rear by lugs 24 on the frame 9 or by any other desired means. In larger machines than that illustrated the pusher 6 may be reciprocated by power in which case the number of knives may be multiplied as desired and automatic means provided for feeding material from a hopper or the like.
I declare that what I claim is 1. A vegetable cutter having a frame hav ing a floor over which the article to be out can slide, a reciprocating open frame adapted to inclose the article to be cut and moving over the floor of the said frame to allow the article to be caught and turned by hand at each stroke, a knife in a plane parallel to said floor and in extension thereof, a plurality of cutting blades arranged with their edges in a plane including the cutting edge of said knife and above it, and a second set of cutting blades arranged between said knife and the floor of the frame with their edges in a plane parallel to the line of the cutting edges of the first set of blades to allow the machine to cut cubes, dice and similar shaped pieces.
2. A vegetable cutter comprising a frame having-a floor over which the article to be cut can slide, a reciprocating open frame adapted to inclose the article to be cut and reciprocating over the floor of said frame to allow the article to be caught and turned by copi es of this patent may be obtained for hand at each stroke, a knife in a plane parallel to said floor and in extension thereof, a plurality of cutting blades arranged with their edges in a plane including the cutting edge of said knife and between said knife and the floor of the frame, and a second set of cutting blades arranged above said knife with their edges in the same plane as the cutting edge of said knife, allowing the machine to cut cubes, dice and similar shaped pieces. i
In witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name this 25th day of June, 1915, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
