UNITED STATES P TENT @FFICE.
CHARLES KINZLER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVED SUGAR-CUTTING MACHINE,
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 30,145, dated September 25, 1860.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES KINZILER, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Machine for Cutting Loaf-Sugar into Square and Regular Pieces; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
Figure I shows a plan of the machine, and Fig. II represents a longitudinal section of the same.
The nature of my invention consists in the arrangement of two frames working horizontally toward each other, and provided with perpendicular knives whereby the slabs of sugar are cut in one direction, after which the same fall between two horizontal rollers situated directly below the above-mentioned frames, and provided with horizontal knives which cut the slabs or pieces horizontally, producing thereby square or regular morsels.
I am aware that plates as well as rollers have been constructed provided with knives crossing each other so as to form squares, for the purpose of cutting loaf-sugar into regular or square pieces; but the great difliculty experienced in those machines is the sticking fast of the sugar in the squares formed by the crossing of the knives, while in my arrangement the spaces between the knives can easily be cleaned, and by the introduction of small springs the morsels easily pushed be out from between the knives.
In the accompanying drawings, A is a plate firmly attached to the frame of the machine and provided on its inner surface with knives it, running perpendicular and parallel to each other and at a distance equal to the width the morsels or pieces are required to be.
B is a plate running in slides 0 against the side of the frame of the machine, and provided with perpendicular knives, h, corresponding and exactly opposite to the knives on the plate A. This plate B is connected through the rod -D with the crank E of the shaft G, and receives thereby a motion to and from the plate A.
H H are two rollers or drums running in suitable bearings provided on the frame of the machine, and connected together through the spur-wheels J J. These rollers H H are provided with knives m m, running horizontally on the surfaces of the drums or rollers parallel to each other, and of such distances apart as is desired to make the pieces or morsels. The spur-wheels J J are so arranged as to bring the edges of the knives or cutters m and m during the revolution of the drums directly opposite each other, so as to act simultaneously on both sides of the sugar slabs or pieces.
K is a pulley on the shaft G, connected by a belt with a pulley, F, fast on the shaft of the roller H, to communicate motion to said rollers. The pulley F on the shaft G is for the purpose of communicating motion to the some, which motion will be communicated through the crank E and rod D to the plate B, and through the belt passing over the pulley K and pulley F to the roller H, and then through the gearing J J tothe roller H. The sugar-loaf is first cut up in slabs of the required thickness by means of circular saws. The slabs are then put into the hopper L and fall between the plates A and B, where the same are subjected to the action of the knives h h, where the indentation of the antagonistic points of said knives or cutters cause the slabs to crack into long pieces, of a width equal to the distance of the knives from each other. These pieces fall then through the hopper P, between the rollers H H, and are there subjected to the action of the horizontal knives m m, which cause the cracking of the pieces or slabs in the horizontal direction, producing thereby square and regular morsels.
WVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The arrangement of the plates A and B, made to move toward and from each other, and provided with knives running parallel to each other and attached perpendicular on the faces of said plates, directly opposite each other, in combination with two rollers, H and H, provided with knives m and m, running horizontally across the surfaces of said rollers, and so combining said rollersthat in operation these horizontal knives will act simultaneously on each side of the slabs or pieces of sugar, the whole being arranged and combined in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.
CHARLES KINZLER.
