Application mea Aagua 29, 190s. serial'Nb. 450,867.
vcutting apparatus, and particularly to devices -for trimming hedges and the like, al-
though it may be applicable to other uses.
' Primarily, the invention consists of upper and lower rigid plates having recesses to receive the twigs or blades to be cut, and a slidable intermediate plate betweenthe two'` with corresponding recesses, the walls of the recesses coperating to give a shear cut to the material in the recesses.
top, middle and bottom members-or. platesl of the tool.
In these drawings, 'the upper plate of the shears is represented at A. It has therecesses aand the points between the recesses are beveled on the upper side as shown at 1),.
and grooved, .as shown .at c, to receive and support the beveled edges d of the points on the lower platefC, the plates A and AC being4 riveted or boltedt'ogether in any suitable manner. Between the two' plates A and C is the` center plate or blade B, having elongated slots e, by which in its movement it is guided in a'right line between the plates A and C, by the headed bolts f passing through the slots and secured to the upper and lo'wer flates. The points of this cutter plate B,
etween the recesses are protected when out of operation, by being housed or covered by the plate A, as will be seen in Fig. 2, and in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The means for operating the reciprocating cutter are shown in Fig. 1.
The intermediate plate B is out away and has a series of teeth g, forming a rack. Engaging with this is a gear segment D on the inner'end of the handle E. This handle is pivoted at h, to the plates A and C.
F is a stationary handle fastened by rivets or bolts 'i to the lower plate. The handle at its inner Vend is formed to correspond withv the walls c'and Z of the cut away portion of the plate B, so.that it acts as a stop to limit the movement of the sliding plate. The handles as shown, are bent upwardly, so that the hands of the operator may not come in contact with the material being cut.
Various minor modifications and changes may be made in the details of construction, without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letand a stationary handle secured to one of the stationary plates. In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
