To all whom 'it may concern.'
Be it known that I, ROBERT L. Donsnr, a citizen of the United States, residing, at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain'new and useful Improvements in Vegetable- Cutters, of which the following is a speciflcation. r
This inventionrelates to that class of 'devices by means of which vegetables are cut into slices or small parts.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts, Figure 1 is a top or plan view of a vegetable cutter embodying my present invention; Fig. 2, an under side plan view of the same; Fig. 3, a detail longitudinal sectional view on an enlarged scale, kas seen when looking in the direction indicated by arrows from the dotted line 3 3 in Fig. 1.; Fig. 4, a detail horizontal sectional view, as seen when looking upwardly from the dotted line 4-4 in Fig. 3, and Figs. 5 and 6 detail transverse vertical sectionalviews, as seen when looking in the directionfindicatedv by the arrows from the dotted lines 5 5 and 6-6 respectively in Fig. 1. Y The body of this machine consists of two grooved side bars 21 and 22, connected by transverse bars 23, to which said side bars are united by screws 24 and a floor 25 resting on said transverse bars and entering one of the grooves7 26, in the side bars. The floor is in two parts, leaving a space between for the knives, which are arranged diagonally, as shown, and the wood of the floor also runs in a diagonal direction parallel with the sides of the knife-opening. The iloor 25' is i secured to the `cross bars 23 by means of small nails or pins 29 which are inserted atv the center, as shown in Fig. 1. The floor 25 itselfV is somewhat narrower than the distance between the bottoms of the grooves 26, and consequently may shrink and swell somewhat without pressing upon or displacing the side bars 21 and 22. In the other grooves 27 of this body or frame is mounted the usual container box 30, within which the vegetables are placed for cutting, and which slides back and forth in said grooves 27 over the knives in operation in i the usual and well known manner.
The knives 31, of which. I have shown three, are each mounted on a hinged arm 32.
This is preferably provided with a member which is secured to the knife blade, as by a bolt 33, while the arms themselves stand at substantially right angles with said ublades and extend down alongside the side rails 21 and 22, and are mounted on pivot pins 34 carried by said side rails. At a point below the pivot pins 34 these hinged members orarms are connected to an operating bar 85, by means of pivots 36, and are thus adapted to be moved simultaneously, as it is desired to 'adjust their cutting edges. The adjusting bar 35 terminates in a handle -37 by means of whichV it may conveniently be operated. A slot 38 therein passes over a clamping screw 39. W hen the re uired adjustment is made the knives are ocked in position byy tightening the nut 40 on this clamping screw.
As the knives 31 are arranged diagonally in relation to the frame sides, and as Vthe attachments are paralleltherewith, the making of these attachments in the form of a hinge is of considerable importance. Rigidly attached angle ieces will not yield, but will tend to travel iagonally toward and from the side rails, and consequently will tend to bind and prevent the necessary movement of the knives. The hinging of the supporting arms to the knives, however, Gives the necessary compound movement, and permits the knives to be easily manipulated, as desired, without causing the arms to interfere withV their movement.l This is very irnportant in this class of devices, as the knives need to be adjusted frequently to suit the dierent classes of work performed on cutters of this character.
I-Iaving thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to .secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, in a vegetable cutter, of a main body, a diagonally set knife mounted in conjunction with the bottom of the main body, av pair of arms pivotally supported at. the opposite ends of said knife on the main body, and a pivot and hinge connection between the pivoted arms vand the adjacent ends of the knife, and means for swinging the pivoted arms and holding them in adjusted positions.
2. rIhe combination, in a vegetable cutter, of a main body havingsubstantially parallel sides, a diagonally set knife mounted in con- Ijunctionwith the bottom of the main body,
CLE
a pair oi' arms pivotally supported at the opposite ends of said knife on the substantially parallel sides of the main body, a hinge connection substantially parallel with the sides of the main body and a pivotalconnection substantially at right angles to the hinge-connection, between the pivoted arms and the adjacent ends oi the knife, and means for swinging the pivoted arms and holding them in adjusted positions.
3. The Combination7 in a vegetable cutter, of the main body, a diagonally set knife mounted in conjunction with the bottom of the main body, a pair of arms pivotally mounted upon the main body adjacent the ends of the 1inives to swing in planes sub- ROBERT L. DORSEY. /Vitnesses:
