Description

June 12, 1934. A. H. WEBER SEED CORN HULLER Filed Nov. 5, 1932 Patented June 12, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to devices for shelling corn.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a device which may be conveniently held in one hand and employed for removing the kernels from the ears of seed corn.
Another object of the invention is to provide a new and novel device for removing the kernels from ears of corn which is formed to receive an end of the ear which is turned therein and which effectively strips the kernels from the cob.
The invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, with the understanding, however, that the invention is not confined to any strict conformity with the showing of the drawing but may be changed or modified so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claim.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a View in top plan of the device embodying the present invention;
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken substantially upon the line 22 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a view in elevation of one end of the stripper.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, it will be seen that the present device is of tapered design, being substantially frusto-conical in form. The device is preferably formed of a single piece of heavy sheet metal which is indi-.- cated generally by the numeral 1. The body 1 is bent longitudinally so as to be transversely arcuate as shown in Figure 3 and one side edge, as for example the edge 2, is unbroken throughout, while at the opposite side there is formed an arcuate edge portion 3 which at one end merges into the end edge of the body at the wide end thereof and at its forward end joins an integral arcuate bridge portion 4 which extends across the troughlike bottom part of the body and is secured to the wall of the body adjacent the edge 2 by means of the integral ear 5.
The bridge portion 4 thus forms with the underlying part of the body of sheet metal, a sleeve of substantially circular cross section as shown in Figure 3 and which is open at both ends. This sleeve is tapered and conforms to the taper of the main body portion of the device so that considered as a whole the device is substantially in the form of a hollow frusto-conical body open at both ends and having a portion of its wall removed from a point intermediate the ends to the larger end thereof.
The rear edge of the bridge portion 4 of the body is of convex formation as indicated at 6. There is thus formed opposite the wall, bounded on one side by the edge 2, the substantially straight upstanding wing 7.
The inner face of the body 1 is studded throughout with the pointed teeth 8. While these may be formed in any suitable manner they are here shown as being in the form of rivets which are set in suitable openings formed in the body and which have the disk-like heads 9 upon the outer 70 ends which are flattened over the outer surface of the body andat their inner ends they are shaped to form the teeth previously referred to.
In the use of the present device the same is held in the left hand with the surface opposite the bridge portion 4 in the palm. Certain of the fingers will then position about the constricted forward end of the body overlying the bridge portion 4 so that a firm grasp can be obtained thereon.
The ear of corn to be shelled is then taken in the other hand and one end is inserted into the large end of the device forcing it forwardly into the cylindrical area of which the bridge portion 4 forms a part. By then turning or rotating the ear the teeth 8 will effectivelyremove the kernels therefrom, the ear being constantly forced forward to pass out at the constricted open end of the device. After removing the kernels from one-half of the ear the same can be reversed and the butt end forced into the cylindrical portion of the device and the same operation
