COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Cutting-out Appliance, with Circular Rotary Cutters or Knives.
I, RUDOLPH BUCHWALD of 15 Plugstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
sume is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement.-
This invention relates to a cutting out apparatus which effects the cutting of
the material by means of two rotary knives or circular cutters one of which is
(or may be) arranged as an "idle 'cutter the other being revolved and actunted
by the contact of a roller or wheel with the surface of the cutting-out table or
other surface over which game is un-any suitable means being provided to
transmit this rotary motion from this friction Loller or wheel to one of the sail
cutters or if desned to both of the said rotary cutters
In the aɩcompanying diawing this apparatus is shown in side clevation.
The apparatus consists of the two pairs of plates or cheeks b and c carmed by the
handle a.
In the cheeks & there is mounted the revolving knife or "idle' cutter wheel d
free to revolve on the stud carrying same and on a stud carried in the cheeks
there is mounted the evolving knife or cutter wheel the latter being caused to
rotate by means of the toothed wheel e which actuates the pinion f the latter being
fixed to this cutter wheel
The toothed wheel is caused to rotate by the operator guiding the apparatus
with the curved under part of the cheeks along the surface of the table so
that the roller or wheel e is thereby revolved by contact with the surface over
which same is run along.
The material to be cut is introduced between the revolving cutting edges d d²
and is thereby cut the divided parts of the material passing on either side of the
two cheeks as it is cut by these two revolving knives d and it'
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my sand
invention and in what manner the same 18 to be performed I declare that what I
claim 18.-
1. In an appliance for the purposes here before described the combination of
a handle two separate plates or projections carried on said handle circulai knives
or cutting wheels called on said plates and respectively adapted to revolve
thereon with their cutting edges in close proximity to one another a friction
roller or wheel carried on one said plate and adapted to be evolved by contact
with the surface over which same 18 run and means to transmit this rotary
motion from said friction roller to one of the circular knives so as to revolve
the latter and thereby cut the material introduced between the two revolving
knives substantially in the manner hereinbefore set forth.
2. An appliance for the purposes herein before described consisting of the
combination with a handle such as a of checks such as b and c carried thereon
cncular knives or cutters such as d and d¹ respectively mounted on said checks
and adapted to revolve a friction rolle or driving wheel such as e carried on
one such cheek and adapted to be evolved by contact with the surface over
which same is run and means for transmitting the rotary motion from said roller

page_text: to one of the circular knives such as d to thus impart 1otary motion to the latter
substantially in the manner hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawing
hereunto annexed.
