UNTED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GREY UTLEY, OF CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA.
STRAW-CUTTER.
Specication of Letters'Patent No. 4,209, dated September 27, 184:5.
To all 'whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, GREY UTLEY, of Chapel Hill, in the county of Orange and vState of North Carolina, have invented a new and useful Machine for Cutting Straw, Hay, Husks, and other Rough Forage and other Materials; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of thislspecication, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal elevation and Fig. 2 is an end elevation. Fig. 3 is a vertical section.
The machine consists of a bench or stand C D (Figs. 2 and 3) made of scantling, on which are erected two perpendicular posts H Z and K X (Fig. 2) standing opposite each other, mortised into the scantling of the bench and extending ten inches below; the posts serve as supports for the axis of a crank A placed at'the top H, F, (Fig. 2) and at the same time, by means of grooves on the inside, they hold between them a sliding sash or gate U, R, S, T, (Fig. 2) in which is fixed a knife W (Fig. 2) set in the upper part of the sash with a point downward; the cutting edges a, a, a, a, (Fig. 2) of equal length, will thus be oblique to the perpendicular; these edges are made with series of parallel cutting edges a so that they shall cut in succession; Y, Y, (Fig. l) are planks screwed one to each post, extending along and above the edge of the bench and serving as braces; on the upper edge of these planks and close to the posts is a transverse shaft B, E, (Fig. 2) moved by a handle Z9 (Fig. 2) and having at the opposite end a band-wheel e (Fig. l). This crank axle A, Z cl turning on the top of the posts has another band-wheel f (Fig. 1) at one end, and at the other end a fly-wheel L, M (Fig. l) with a crank A, d, al (Fig. 2) in the middle; the pit-man rod Gr (Fig. 2) is connected with the crank at A (Fig. 2) by a 'cuff and to the sash at Gr (Fig. 2) by a hinge; a feedbox Y J (Fig. 1) narrower at the end next the posts, rests upon the bench, having the narrow end armed with an iron strip s Figs. 2 and 2 and placed close to the plane in which the knife moves; another iron strip t, Fig. 3, is fixed horizontally to the bench on the opposite side of the plane of the knife, leaving only room for the blade to pass between the strips s, t. A stop-board g g (Fig. 2) is attached to the lower part of the sash, so that when the sash is raised, the board may be just opposite the end of the feed-box, and thus regulate the length of the straw to be cutoff:l at each stroke. The distance between this knife and the plane in which the knife moves determines the lengths of the straw to be cut and which may be increased or diminished at pleasure by the use of set screws.
The handle B, b, (Fig. 2) being turned sets in motion the axle B, E, (Fig. 2) and the band-wheel e (Fig. 2). The band passingover the two band-wheels e, f, communicates motion to the upper axle H, F, (Fig. 2) on which is the jcrank A, d, d (Fig. 2)-the crank acting by means of the rod A, G, (Fig. 2) alternately raises and lowers the sash; and at each depression the knife cuts olf the portion of straw between it and the stop board vg ge-ethe knife receiving two strokes at every revolution of the handle.
