CORN-SHELLING PLATE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 31, 1918.
Application filed May 14, 1917. Serial No. 168,557.
To all whom it may} concern:
Be it known that I, FRED H. OHLAND, a citizen of the United States, residin at Gibbon, in the county of Sibley and tate of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Corn-shelling Plates, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in corn shellers, and the principal object of the invention is to provide means for shelling the butts and tips only of the ears of seed corn.
Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby only the imperfectly formed kernels at the ends ofethe car are shelled and the shelling means are placed on an angle so as to fit different sizes of ears.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character, which is simple and durable in construction, reliable and eflicient in operation and one which can be manufactured and placed upon the market at a minimum cost.
The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side view of the shelling machine,
gig. 2 is a face view of the shelling plate, an
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the plate.
In these figures 1 indicates a supporting frame having the upright 2 thereon for receiving the shaft 3 having the arms 4: thereon to support the shelling plate 5. The shaft 3 is rotated by means of a gear 6 thereon meshing with the large gear 7 mounted on the shaft 8 supported by the upright 9 The gear 7 is rotated by the handle 10. The shelling plate may be formed of metal or wood or any other desirable material and is made with a central hole 11 with slots 12 radiating therefrom so as to form teeth 13. These teeth are pushed inwardly so as to form an inclined opening to receive the ends of the ears as shown in Fig. 3 and each tooth is given a slight twist so as to throw one edge above the plane of the other. This will form a space between the adjacent edges of the teeth so that an edge is formed on each tooth which will contact with the kernels of the corn land remove said kernels from the ear.
The ear of corn is held with its butt or tip against the teeth and the device is rotated by means of the handle 10 so as to cause the plate to shell the corn. If desired, the plate may be used alone.
By making the plate with the opening flaring inwardly, ears of different sizes may be placed therein and the kernels shelled therefrom.
It is thought from the foregoing that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood that I may make slight changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is 1. A corn sheller including a plate, teeth carried thereby, and each having one edge thereof arranged above the adjacent edge of the co-acting tooth.
2. A corn sheller including a plate having an opening therein, projecting converging teeth carried by said plate and surrounding said opening, and each tooth having one edge thereof arranged above the adjacent edge of the co-actin'g tooth.
3. A corn sheller including a plate having an opening therein, and slits radiating from said opening to form teeth, each tooth being twisted to throw one edge thereof above the adjacent edge of the co-acting tooth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
E. H. GRUENHAGEN, WILLIAM W. GUGISBERG.
