MEAT-CUTTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,589, dated December 30, 1890.
Application filed Tune 21,1890. Serial No. 356,290. (No model.)
T all whom t may concern-.-
Be it Aknown that 1 OLIVER D. WOODRUFF, a citizen of the United States, residing at Southington, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Meat-Cutters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in meat-cutters; and the objects of my improve` ments are simplicity of construction and gen 4 eral convenience and efficiency in operation.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the crank end of my machine with the crank removed. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical section of the case and cap on the line a: of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a developed plan or diagram of the prominent surfaces of the interior of the case.
The case A is of tapering form, with a hopper 4 and holding-cap 5 at the large end, said cap being held in engagement with the case by means of lugs and holding-dog 6, all as shown, described, and claimed in another application filed by me of even date with this application-viz., June 21, 1890, Serial No. 356,291. It is therefore evident that the holding-cap and the manner of securing the same are not essential parts of the present invention, and otherknown forms of cap andholding mechanism may be substituted therefor. The interior of the case immediately under the hopper is provided with feeding-grooves '7,Which extend at an oblique angle to the case and merge into or terminate with the circumferential knives S and 9, the knife S extending only half-Way around t-he case on `the upper side, While the knife 9 extends around the entire circle of the case. The por- 'jtion of the case toward the small end beyond the hopper and" said circumferential knives is provided with a series of longitudinal knives 10 and oblique or inclined ribs 11, the
' latter extending around the case at a lesser degree of inclination than the feeding-ribs 7. The longitudinal knives 10 and oblique or inclined knives 11 intersect each other on the front side of said longitudinal knives. lVithin this case, I 'lit a combined forcer and cutter B, having a flange 12, which fills the large end of the case, from which flange a screw or forcingrib 13 extends toward the small end of the case. The core at the part immediately under the hopper should be small to facilitate the entry of the meat. At the point beyond the hopper thecombined forcer and cutter is provided with longitudinal ribs or knives 14 and with other forcing-ribs 15, intersecting said knives. The delivery end of the combined forcer and cutter is preferably turned down or reduced into a plain conical portion 1G of a less diameter than that end of the case inside the projecting surface of the ribs.
The shaft 17 is provided With a suitable driving-crank or rotated by other means, the combined forcer and cutter being adjusted to snugly fit the case. Meat fed into the hopper is forced along by the forcing-ribs 13 and feeding-ribs 7, and upon coming in contact With the circumferential cutters S and 9 it is cut by the combined action of said cutters and forcer. As it passes along it is further reduced and cut by the combined action of the other forcing-ribs 15 and longitudinal cutters 14 on the combined forcer and cutter and the longitudinal knives 10 and intersecting oblique or inclined knives 11 on the case, the meat being intercepted in its passage through the machine at the junction of said knives and ribs on the case and combined forcer and cutter, so that it is cut off as fast as it is caught Within the angles of the same.
In both the case and the combined forcer and cutter the inclined or spiral ribs merge into the front or cut-ting edge of the longitudinal knives. The longitudinal knives upon the case and those upon the combined forcer and cutter are of a slightly-different angle, so as to form ashearingcut. The reduced portion at the e'nd of the combined forcer and cutter causes the meat to be delivered in one contin nous volume of tubular form, instead of being broken up, thereby improving the appearance of the delivered meat.
I have found by use that a machine of this construction effectually, finely, and rapidly cuts the meat Without the employment of a perforated plate and knives or other cutting mechanism in addition to the case and combined forcer and cutter.
The circumferential ribs 8 and 9 are substantially the same as shown and described in the other application of even date herewith,
ICO
hereinbel'ore rel'erred to,andn1;i v be omitted, if desired.
l claim :is my inventioul. The combination, with the comhinedi forcer and cutter, of the ense having the inclined feeding-ribs ll and longitudinal knives lO, intersecting euch other on the front side of said longitudinal knives, substantially as described, and for the purpose specilied.
2. The combination of zi case having longitudinal knives und spiral ribs und inclined feeding-ribs, the combined forcer and cutter having the longitudinal knives ll, and forcing-ribs l5 on the front or cutting edge ot' said longitudinal knives, substantially is described, und for the purpose specified.
3. The combination of the case having the longitudinal knives l0. the feeding-ribs ll,
stuntially :is described, und for the purpose 3o specified.
