Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 12, 1905.
Application tiled December 22, 1904. Serial No. 237,908.
To all whom, t may concern,.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM HERBERT ROUSSEL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a new and Improved Butter-Cutter, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to apparatus for cutting suchv substances as butter, it being especially adapted for the division of large masses of material into cubes of a generally marketable size. Its principal objects are to provide a simple, durable, and eifective cutting apparatus.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of my invention. Fig. 2 is acentral vertical longitudinal section therethrough. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4: is a horizontal sectional detail onthe line 4 4 ofFig. 3.
B designates a suitable base, which may consist of opposite side bars 10 10 and connecting end bars l1 11 bolted thereto and being of less width, their relation being such as to leave spaces between their upper edges and the adjacent edges of the side bars. Secured upon the inner faces of the side bars between the end bars are longitudinal supporting-bars 12 forming ways upon which is movably mounted a table 13, operating throughthe spacesbetween the bars 10 and 11 above described.
From one end of the table rises a head or abutf ment 14, which may be braced at 15 and carries upon its inner face horizontal cleats 16. In the side bars near the central portion of the base is journaled a power-shaft 17, having an operating member or crank 18. To-this shaft are fixed the ends of a cordor iiexible member 19, which is continuous and extends in opposite directions into engagement with the table, it preferably passing over rolls 20, rotatable upon brackets 21, projecting from the under side thereof and being situated upon each side of the power-shaft.
Mounted upon the base is a frame F, which may comprise vertical bars 22 22, fixed opposite one another to the side bars of the base and connected by a horizontal top bar 23. Between the bars 22 extend cutting members or wires 24, separated from one another by distances equal to the thickness of the cakes in to which the butter is to be cut and each having one end conveniently attached to a hook 25, carried by one of the vertical bars, and the other end projecting through a sleeve 26 and having a bent end 27 contacting with the outer end of said sleeve. These sleeves may be externally threaded upon a portion which lies outside the frame-bar and'beengaged by nuts 28, which when turned serve to tighten the wires.
The material M which is to be operated upon is cut into large cubes, the thickness of which is equal to one of the dimensions of the small cakes which are to be formed, and is set upon a suitable board or carrier 29, which is placed upon the' table of the apparatus With its outer end in contact with the head, the cube being situated at one side of the cutting-wires. The crank is now rotated in the proper direction, winding the iiexible member about the shaft, shortening one side thereof and lengthening the other, thus drawing the material into contact with the wires, which cut. horizontal channels. When this cut has been carried to such a distance that the projection of the cube by the outer face of the frame is equal to a dimension of the small cakes, this portion of the cube may be severed by passing any suitable form of cutter along the frame. This amount of projection may be controlled by a set of gage-blocks 30, which are interposed between the carrier and a stop 31 fixed upon the top of the side bars at the end of the base, each of the blocks having a lateral dimension equal to the. dimension of the cakes which i's to be thus determined. A sufficient number of these blocks are applied to the base to stop the movement of the table after an amount equal to one set of the cakes has passed through the frame. This having been cut, one of the blocks is removed and the crank again rotated until the table contacts with the blocks, when a second portion will have been positioned for cutting. This continues until the entire cube has been divided. By the use of gage-blocks of different sizes cakes of various weights may be formed and their dimension in this direction necessary to give the proper amount very exactly provided for by the width of the blocks.
y After completing the cutting of the cube the table may be run back to its initial position by turning the crank in the opposite direction and then, upon placing another cube upon it, the operation may be repeated.
It Will be seen that the apparatus is en- 'IOO IIO
tirely free from gearing and elements which are liable to wear or get out of order, the cord being durable and if broken replaced at a trifling expense.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent* 1. A butter-cutter comprising a base, cutting mechanism, a table movable upon the base and having depending projections, a powershaft journaled upon the base beneath the table and between the projections, and a eXible member iixed to the shaft and being movable over the projections longitudinally of the table.
2. A butter-cutter comprising a base,l cuttingmechanism, a table movable upon the base, a stop carried by the base near one extremity removed from the cutting mechanism and with which an element moving with the table WILLIAM HERBERT ROUSSEL.
