ROTARY VEGETABLE CUTTER.
No. 415,847. Patented Nov. 26, 1889.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MAX EMII. RICHTER, OF FORT IVAYNF, INDIANA.
ROTARY VEGETABLE-CUTTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 415,847, dated November 26, 1889.
Application filed March 19, 1889. Serial No. 303,842. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, MAX EMIL RICHTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Wayne, in the county of Allen and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Rotary V egetable-Gutters, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to rotary vegetablecutters.
The object of the present invention is the production of a vegetable-cutter of simple and inexpensive construction, in which the knives may be readily adjusted to cut slices of any desired thickness, and in which the parts may be easily accessible for cleaning.
The invention consists in the construction and the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a vegetable-cutter constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view, of the revoluble disk. Fig. lis a detail plan View of the same, showing one of the adj ustable sect-ions thrown out in dotted lines.
Referring to the accompanying d rawin gs by letter, A designates the frame, which comprises the front board a, the curved side pieces a, which direct the course of the vegetables after being cut, and the back, which is composed of a strip a and a board a which is hinged to the strip a and is normallyheld in place by hooks and eyes D, but is adapted to be swung open to permit access to a disk B, to which the knives G are secured. Further, to facilitate the cleaning, the parts of the frame are secured together by bolts and thumb-screws E, which render them capable of being readily separated and put together, which is a great advantage.
The front board a is provided with a curved recess a, in which is secured a suitable feedbox F, and in order to strengthen the construction the side piece a nearer to the said feed-box F is extended along the side of the latter, which is suitably secured thereto.
The disk B is fixed to a shaft G, which is provided at its rear end with a crank-handle G to operate the disk, and it is suitably journaled in the front board a, and the strip a and the said shaft G may be removed from its hearing by unfastening a block a which forms the upper portion of one of the bearings and is secured in place by a screw. The said disk is composed of stationary sectorshaped sections Z) and adjustable ones (9', the stationary sections 1) being preferably formed integral with each other. In the drawings I have shown a disk composed of two stationary sections and two adjustable ones; but I desire it to be understood that the number may be increased or diminished, and that I do not limit myself to the precise details of construction herein shown and described, as I may without departing from the spirit of the invention make various other minor changes therein. The adjustable sections 1) are arranged between the stationary ones and are secured to the center of the disk by radial pivot-rods II, the ends of which are threaded and provided with thumb-screws to hold the knives at any desired inclination. The knives have their cuttingedges in the direction of the rotation of the disk, and are secured t0 the sides of the sections, which have projections b at their upper edges that brace the knives c and complete the circumference of the disk B. The radial rods H divide the adjustable sections in halves, and when a section is turned on its pivot there will be the same distance between its knife and the adjacent edge of a stationary section as there is between its opposite side and the knife of the adjacent stationary section. It will thus be seen that by setting the knives of the adjustable sect-ions to cut slices of a certain thickness the knives of the stationary sections will be simultaneously adjusted to cut at the same thickness.
The cutter is designed to be secured to a table or shelf, and is provided with a suitable screw-clamp I, which is attached intermediate of the sides of the frame, and the side of said frame having the feed-box is provided with an L-shaped bracket J, the projecting arm of which engages the table and aids in supporting the cutter.
From the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings the construction, operation, and advantages of the invention will readily be understood.
What I claim is 1. A vegetable-cutter provided with a disk having stationary sections carrying knives and adjustable sections carrying knives and pivoted radially between the stationary sec- 5 tions, whereby the knives of the stationary sections are simultaneously set with those of the adjustable ones, substantially as described.
2. In a vegetable-cutter, the combination,
I0 with the frame, of the sections 1), integral with each other, the sections 1), arranged between the sections Z), and the radial pivotrods having threaded ends and provided with thumb-screws, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MAX EMIL RICHTER.

PAUL O. RICHTER, H. G. SCHRADER.
