UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE...
VEGETABLE-CUTTER.
. citizen of the United States, residing at ments in vegetable cutters and more Green Bay, in the county of Brown, State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vegetable-Outters;
and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art'to which it appertains to make and use the same- The present invention relates to improvearticularly to devices of that class in which the knife-plate is secured to one of the drive gears and disposed beneath the hopper cylinder or cylinders, in position to shave off a section or slice of the vegetables as each knife carried by the plate passes therebeneath.
It is the object of this invention to provide a simple, efficient, and durable device of the class described, adapted particularly for use in hotels, restaurants, and other public dining rooms in which a large quantity of cer- .tain' vegetables is required for each meal, and
to this end, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, all as hereinafter fully described,
specifically claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device.
Fig. 2 is a detail'view of theframe brace showing also a portion of the bearing-sleeve and the bolt mounted thereon. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on'the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a transverse horizontal sectionon the line 4 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a plan view of a modified form of cutter.
Like parts are designated by corresponding reference numerals in the several views. Referring more particularly to the draw-.
ings, 6 designates the frame of the device and as shown comprises an .open box-like struc ture, the upper strips ofthe sides of the frame being connected by a strap 7 enlarged intermediate its ends, as at 8, and provided with a threaded socket 8 formed in such enlargement and adapted to receive the thread' ed lower end 9 of a'vertically-disposed bolt 10.
wardly extending annular flange 13 formed thereon, the gear further including a hub Specification of Letters Patent.

portion through which said bolt passes, so as toallow the gear to rotate freely thereon, as,
afterward described, and a series of spokes connecting the gear rim andhub. The sockets 12 formed in said gear are adapted to receive outwardly extending tongues 14 formed on a cutter-plate 15 likewise provided with a hub portion, disposed in alinement with the gear hub, the bolt 10 passing therethrough as will be readily understood. Plate 15 is further provided with a series of radial slots 16 which extend at opposite ends partly into the platehub and rim, the knives 17 which fit in said slots being held in placed by means of a plate 18 adapted to be bolted to the upper face of the cutter plate hub and by a ring 19 which fits over the upper face of the rim of said cutter-plate and is bolted thereto. These knives may be straight, as shown in Fig. 4, or slightly curved ,,as shown in Fig. 5, according as desired, the knife slots in which said knives are disposed having corres onding form, the knivesin both constructions being preferably disposed radially of the plates.
The ring gear and its attendant parts above referred to is held in place upon the bolt by means of a sleeve 20, the bore of which is threaded at its upper end to engage the threaded end 21 thereof, said sleeve being further held in lace by a wing-nut 22 mounted upon said, oltend. The lower end of said sleeve is preferably widened or flared, as at 23, to form an enlarged bearing face which may contact directly against the upper face of plate 18 or against awasher 24 interposed between said plate and sleeve face.
Mounted upon the upper face of. the machine frame is an open cylindrical collar 25 provided with perforated lugs 25, through which the bolts for fastenin saidcollar to said frame are passed, said ugs preferably fitting in sockets 26iformed in the upper face of the framefi. This collar serves as a means for retaining a series of open cylindrical.
knives carried thereby are brought successively beneath the hoppers and are adapted to shave off or slice the material contained in the several hoppers and forced into contact with the knives by means of plungers 27 fitted in the several hoppers and adapted to press down upon the contents thereof.
The brace 28 which forms a portion of the frame 6 has loosely mounted therein a stub shaft 29, on which is mounted a gear 30 in mesh with the ring-gear 11, so that when gear 30 is rotated through its crank-handle 30, such rotation will be directly imparted to the ring gear and the cutter plate secured thereto.
By reason of the open formation ofthe frame of the machine, any suitable receptacle 31 may be positioned therewithin to receive the slices of material cut by the knives in their movement beneath the hoppers, the frame sides being provided at their bottoms with a pair of cross-braces 32 to retain the receptacle in' proper position. It will be'obvious furthermore, that the frame maybe partially inclosed at its sides by means of movable doors or panels.
In the operation of the machine the several hoppers are filled with vegetables or other material to be sliced and the plungers or weights disposed therein. The ring gear is then driven through the medium of gear 30 when the cutter plate carried by said gear will rotate therewith bri ing the knlves secured thereto successive y beneath the several hoppers to cut or slice the material therein which is forced below the lower edge of the hoppers by the action of the plungers. It will be, obvious that-the collar may contain a greater number of hoppers than that shown in the present instance, and that the number of knives carried by the cutter plate may be proportionately increased, it bein necessary, however, that each knife shal have passed completely beyond a hopper before the succeeding knife reaches the same, so that a complete slice may be cut by each knife. Owing to'the formation of the sockets in the ring gear and to the provision of lugs upon'the cutter plate, it will also be obsides of said frame andprovi ed with a bearing disposed directly beneath the central space between said hoppers a vertical bolt disposed within said space and having its lower .end fitted in said bearing; a ring gear carried by said bolt and provided with a series of sockets formed in its rim; a cutter plate detachably carried by said gear and f provided with a series of outwardly extending lugs, ada ted to be received in said sockets, and wit a series of knife-slots; knives disposed in said slots; a sleeve incasing said bolt and provided with an enlarged lower end adapted to contact with said cutter plate, to retain said cutter plate and ring gear in place; means for retaining said sleeve in place upon said bolt; means disposed within each ho per for forcing the material contained tfierein into the path of movement of the knives; and means for rotating said ring gear, to bring the knives carried by said outter late successively beneath said hoppers, to s ice the material contained therein.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in presence of witnesses.
