SPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 746,8777, dated December 15, 1903. Application filed March l0, 1903. Serial No. 141.122. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.:

Be it known that I, JAMES PEERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hurl-Cutting Machines, of which the following is a specification.l

This invention relates to improvements in machines for cutting the hurl used in the manufacture of brooms, the essential purposes being to provide a general simplicity of structure and minimum number of parts, reducing the cost of manufacture, and rendering the machines obviously desirable for these reasons.

For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction of the means for effecting the result reference is to be had to the following description and drawings hereto attached.

While the essential and characteristic features of the invention are susceptible of modification, still the preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in working position. Fig. 2 is a transverse section showing the pivoted cover open. Fig.

3 is a transverse section similar to Eig. 2, the pivoted cover being closed. Fig. 4 is a detail view showing the specific form of pitman.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

The machine consists of a table 1 of any substantial structure adapted for the purposes in view. A shaft 2 is rotatably mounted in the supporting-framework of the table, said shaft having a crank 3 thereon. A treadle 4 is preferably disposed at the lower portion of the frame, and a pitman 5 connects the said treadle to the crank 3 upon the shaft 2.' A balance-wheel may be employed, if desired, and should it be preferred to transmit motion to the shaft 2 by-a belt the belt-pulley 7 may be utilized.

The pitman 5 is of peculiar construction, having a blade 8 secured to the upper end thereof, said upper end being extended beyond the point of connection with the crank 3 for this purpose; The blade 8 is disposed Within a slot 9 in the upper portion of the pitmau, and suitable attaching means, such as bolts, are employed to rigidly hold the blade in position. The pitman is provided intermediate its ends and approximately at thepoint of connection with the crank 3 with a recess l0. A removable block 11 is secured in the recess l0, and the crank is embraced by the body of the pitman and the aforesaid block '11, each. of these respective parts being notched, as shown at 12, to form the bearing for the crank.

The table l is provided with a slot 13, the blade 8 being adapted to move Within the said slot in its oscillatory motion. A cuttingblock 14, disposed approximately at the rear portion of the table, is also slotted, as shown .at 15, and the material fed into the machine is received between the blade and the aforesaid block. Hinged to the cutting-block 14 is 'a cover 16, said cover 16 beingadapted to fold down upon table 1 when the machine is not being used, at the same time locking the blade 8 from any action. A hinged strip 17' is located upon the forward edge of the table and supports the hinged cover 16 when the same is folded down upon the table in a man- Y ner which will be readily noted.

` It will be noted that an eXtreme simplicity relative to the number of parts and to their separate construction is attained. The hurl is fed to the machine, and the blade 8, receiving a forward and downward movement `upon actuation of the treadle, readily cuts the material in any manner desired by the operator of the device. The hinged cover 16 incluses the operating parts When the machine is not in operation.

It will be obvious that the machine may be employed for purposes other than cutting hurl, since it may be very serviceable in cutting divers materials.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. In a cutting-machine, the combination with a table, of a treadle, acutting-blade, a shaft rotatably mounted with'reference to the table and having a crank disposed thereon, and a pitman connecting the treadle and the point of connection With the crank and slotted, and a cutting-blade secured within the slotted portion of the pitman, substantially as described.

3. In a cutting-machine, and in combination with a treadle and rotary crank-shaft, a

table, a pitman for connecting said treadle w and crank-shaft and having a cutting-blade disposed at the upper end thereof, and a hinged cover adapted to fold downward upon the table whereby the cutting-blade is locked out of action.

4. In a cutting-machine of the character described,and in combination, a table, a treadle, a rotary crank-shaft, a pitman for connection of the aforesaid crank-shaft, said pitman being extended beyond the point of connection with the crank-shaft, a slot disposed in the extended portion of the aforesaid pitman and adapted to receive a cutting-blade, a cuttingblock disposed upon the table, and a cover hinged to the aforesaid cutting-block and adapted to fold down upon the table, slots disposed upon the aforesaid table and cutting-block,the said cutting-blade being adapted to move forward and downward within the slot upon the table, substantially as described. In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
