MACHINE FOR CUTTING MEAT AND VEGETABLES.
SPECIPICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,910, dated June 3, 1884:.
A Application filed May 26, 1883. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, Snunon S. 000x, of Woonsocket, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Machines for Cutting Meat, Vegetables, and other Articles, of which the following is a specification.
My improvement relates to cutters of the kind in which a knife is adapted to revolve around the interior of a circular vessel and to rotate upon its own axis, thereby stirring up the contents of the vessel and cutting the sub stance while the latter is in contact with the wall of the vessel.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a cutter embodying my improvement, a portion of the wall of its vessel being broken away the better to exhibit the construction. Fig.2 is aside view of the knife and its appurtenances; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the vessel alone, on an en- 1 'larged scale.
- lar form.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both figures.
A designates a vessel of circular form. Its wall is composed of one or more thin strips of wood bent longitudinally into a circular form, so that the grain of the wood will run circumferentially, and fastened at the ends by nails or otherwise, so as to be maintained in. circu- The bottom of the vessel consists of a disk of wood composed of one or more pieces and fitted within the wall of the vessel. It is secured in proper position relatively to the wall by means of nails driven through the latter into it, or in any other suitable manner.
' B designates the knife. It is made of a piece of steel, and has two wings or portions extending downwardly at an angle, and hence diverging toward their lower extremities. It is connected to a shaft, a, in any suitable manner, and it is of rounded contour, so as to be about equidistant from the center of the said shaft, or from the axis around which it rotates. The shaft to is supported in bearings b in a frame, 0, so as to be free to turn therein. Above the upper bearing 1) a head, 0, is fitted to the said shaft, and the upper part of the knife fits close to the under side of the lower bearing 1); hence, although the shaft is free to turn, it can have no appreciable movement in the direct-ion of its length within the bearings. The wings or diverging portions of the knife are near the lower extremity bent outward, so that the edge will be presented about in a horizontal position.
In the center of the vessel A a socket, D, is arranged. As shown, it extends up through the bottom of the vessel, and has a flange, which fits in a recess provided. in the under side of the bottom. Screws or nails, passing through the fiangeand entering the bottom of the vessel, secure the socket in place. A spindle, E, fits in this socket, so as to be free to rotate therein. At the upper end the spindle has affixed to it an arm, F, whereby it may be turned. The outer portion of this arm is provided with a handle, (I, which is mounted on a pin, 0, extending from the arm in such manner that it may turn within it when the arm is operated to turn the spindle E. Between the ends the arm F is provided with a stud, G, on which fit bearings b, forming part of the frame C. Above the stud G the arm F is provided with a shoulder, f, which fits above the upper bearing 1) of the frame O.- A pin, 9, extends .through the stud G, below the lower bearing 1), and prevents the stud from moving upwardly out of the bearings 12.
The frame 0 may be advantageously made of malleable cast-iron, and the arm F may be made of the same material, with the spindle E and stud G cast in it. The spindle E is not fastened in the socketD; hence by taking holdof the arm IF, it and the said spindle, the frame 8 5 O, and the knife may be removed.
H designates a spring, which is coiled around the shoulder f of the arm F, and then bent in the reverse direction around the upper bearing Z) of the frame 0. The end of the spring which is adjacent to the shoulder f of the arm F is bent upward, so as to engage with a cavity in the under side of the arm; hence the spring cannot slip around the shoulder of the arm. The part of the spring which extends around 5 the bearingb of the frame 0 extends above a flange, h, and below a lug, h; hence it cannot slip out of place either downwardly or upwardly. This spring swings the frame 0 around, so asto force and hold the knife B in contact with the interior of the wall of the vessel A, and the shaft (4 in a position beyond the arm F.
Then the various parts are inserted into and removed from the vessel, the frame 0 is swung back and held against the resistance of the spring, so that the knife will not be in contact with the interior of the wall of the vessel. WVhen the arm F is turned around, the knife 13 is revolved around the socket D, and, by its contact with the interior of the wall of the vessel A,"or with any'substance which may be between it and the wall of the vessel, it is rotated as it revolves.
Owing to the peculiar contour of the knife, it acts at various angles on any substance which is between it and the wall of the vessel, and it operates with a shearing cut. As it travels it stirs up the substance which is within the vessel, so as to present the same differently before acting upon it subsequently.
The wall of the vessel A, owing to its construction, has the grain of the wood running circumferentially. For this reason the action of theknife upon it is less injurious than if the wall were made of staves with the grain runnin g up and down, for the cuts of the knife will bemore nearly parallel with the grain. Moreover, if the knife should .cut at different angles staves having the grain of the wood running up and down, it would be apt to chip off the edges of thestaves, so as to form recesses in which substances mi ghtlodge and decay. This objection is obviated by combining with the knife a vessel having its wall made with the grain running circumferentially.
Another advantage due to my improved con struction of vessel is that it will not be liable to fall to pieces upon shrinking, as a wall made of staves secured together by hoops is liable to do.

2. I11 a cutter for meats, vegetables, and other substances, the combination of a circular vessel and a knife adapted to travel in contact with the wall of thevessel, and having two wings which diverge downwardly, and at their extremities are bent laterally outward, so as to present the edge in about ahorizontal position, substantially as specified.
3. In a cutter for meat,vegetables,and other substances, the vessel A, the arm F, provided with the spindle E and stud G, the knife B, attached to the shaft a, the frame 0, fitting on the stud G, and supporting the shaft a in a position beyond the arm F, and the spring H, all being so combined and organized that the knife will be forcibly pressed against the wall of the vessel, and when revolved around the vessel will derive a rotary motion from con tact with the wall of the vessel, substantially as herein described.
