PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A. Combined Chaff Cutter, Corn Crusher, and Root Pulper.
I, HERBERT HENRY HUNT, of Stanford Park Farm, Faringdon, in the County
of Berkshire, Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improved apparatus for cutting crushing or pressing,
hay. straw corn roots or the like for mixing the same together in certain proportions
as the ingredients fall together in a receptacle. The object of my invention is to
form a combined chaff-cutter, corn-crusher, and a root pulper, with the usual feeding
hoppers, for the direct amalgamation of foods for cattle. Each of the aforesaid
are connected together by one or more rotating cog wheels and spindles, or other
mechanism, and mounted on a suitable frame. The combined apparatus may be
constructed to be driven by a hand fly wheel, or by means of a pulley driven by
steam from an engine.
If preferable an elevator may be connected to the apparatus.
It will be understood that the shapes and parts may be varied in many ways
within the scope of my invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Chaff Cutter, Corn Crusher, and Root Pulper.
I, HERBERT HENRY HUNT, of Stanford Park Farm, Faringdon, in the County
of Berkshire, Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved apparatus for cutting crushing or pressing,
hay straw corn roots or the like for mixing the same together in certain proportions
as the ingredients fall together in a receptacle. The object of my invention is to
form a combined chaff-cutter, corn crusher, and a root pulper with the usual feeding
hoppers, for the direct amalgamation of foods for cattle. Each of the aforesaid
are connected together by one or more rotating cog wheels and spindles, or other
mechanism, and mounted on a suitable frame. The combined apparatus may be
constructed to be driven by a hand fly wheel, or by means of a pulley driven
by steam from an engine.
If preferable an elevator may be connected to the apparatus.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a front elevation.
Fig. 2, is a side elevation.
Fig. 3, is a plan of the top of the frame.
Parts of the figures are broken off for convenience.

This invention is constructed with a metallic frame mounted on four legs, the
whole being securely bolted together. The main shaft d with pulley e is mounted
in bearings on the top of the framer and is geared by cog wheels and pulleys, so
as to drive the mechanism for the operation of the combined apparatus. On the
side of the legs is mounted a counter shaft n and on this said counter shaft is fixed
DO17

page_text: the pulleys m, l, and g. The driver on the main shaft gives motion to the
follower 93 and the driver gives motion to the follower h; and the driver m gives
motion to the follower o in order to work the combined machine off the main
shaft d.
An elevator a of any suitable shape is fixed or adjusted to the machine in such a
manner and position that the chaff and pulp falls on the slide i and into the said
elevator "₂ which is worked by the pulleys and h from the counter shaft.
On the frame is mounted a perforated pulper hopper c to receive roots, and on
the main shaft a pulper disc k with knives or scrapers t to form the pulp from roots
as the disc k revolves.
At a convenient position is bolted to the frame a box u containing a mill roller p
which receives motion by the pulley o from the driver m.. Above the box u is
mounted a mill hopper & in which the corn is placed before it is crushed and passed
through the box onto the elevator.
も
The bevelled wheels v are geared so as to give motion to the shaft w which is
provided with movable cog drivers el gearing with cog wheels c¹ on the shafts a¹,
and b, to work the rollers of the chaff cutter s. The knife wheel of the chaff
cutter is mounted on the main shaft, and on the end of the chaff cutter is pivoted
the usual feed box q.
If preferable the cogs c¹ and e" on the shafts w, and a' may be changed at will so
as to cause a quick or slow motion for the purpose of producing either long or short
chaff.
It will be understood that I do not confine myself in the foregoing and given by
way of illustration, as I may adopt in combination any machine or parts of machines
of any shape, materials or parts; as the said shape, materials or parts may be varied
in many ways within the scope of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In an apparatus for cutting crushing or pressing hay straw or roots, the
combination of the chaff cutter, pulper, corn crusher and elevator, as herein before
described and according to the accompanying drawings.
2. In an apparatus for cutting chaff, cutting or scraping roots, crushing corn,
the combination of the elevator, pulper, corn crusher and chaff cutter, constructed
of any shape for the purpose specified and herein set forth.
3. The combination of the chaff cutter and pulper machines driven from the
main shaft, without the corn-crusher or elevator, for the purpose specified.
4. The combination of the chaff cutter, pulper and corn crusher, without the
elevator, for the purpose specified.
5. In an apparatus for cutting chaff, cutting or scraping roots, crushing corn,
the combination of the shaft d and the counter shaft n with the pulleys f, g, h, l, m,
and o, to operate the various machines, substantially as herein described and
according to the accompanying drawings.
6. The combination of the knife wheel ; and disc k mounted on the main shaft d,
substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawings.
7. A chaff cutter, pulper, corn crusher and elevator, driven from the main shaft d,
substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 17th day of August 1893.
