PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Portable Mechanical Turnip Pulping and Cutting
Apparatus.
"
I, RICHARD DAVY, of Worlaby House, Lincoln, in the County of Lincoln,
Yeoman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in portable mechanical tuinip pulping
and cutting apparatus, and is an improvement upon a former invention of mine
for which I have obtained Letters Patent No. 9242, bearing date the 21st April,
1898.
The object of the present invention is to provide a turnip pulping apparatus
which is mounted side by side with the turnip cutting apparatus described in
the beforementioned specincation, in such a manner that such pulping apparatus
may be duiven from the same driving shaft as the cutting apparatus, either simul-
taneously with or independently of the said turnip cutting apparatus
In carrying my invention into practice I mount on the poi table frame carried
by the travelling wheels, side by side with the tuinip cutting apparatus, a suit-
able turnip pulping machine, which is driven, by means of suitable gearing, from
the horizontal toothed wheel which drives the tump cutting apparatus described
in my former specification.
The toothed wheel which gears with the large horizontal toothed wheel in
order to rotate the linked rod which actuates the turnip cutting knives described
in my former specification, meshes with a spur-wheel connected to a similar
linked rod, the other end of the latter being connected directly or through suit-
able gear, with the pulping mechanism of the turnip pulping machine.
By withdrawing a bolt in either of the linked rods aforesaid to disconnect
the said rod from the driving gear, either the turnip cutting apparatus on the
pulping apparatus can be set in operation independently of the other.

page_text: same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in portable mechanical turnip pulping
and cutting apparatus, and is an improvement upon a former invention of mine
for which I have obtained Letters Patent No. 9242, bearing date the 21st April,
1898.
The object of the present invention is to provide a turnip pulping apparatus
which is mounted side by side with the turnip cutting apparatus described in
the beforementioned specincation, in such a manner that such pulping apparatus
may be driven from the same driving shaft as the cutting apparatus, either simul-
taneously with or independently of the said turnip cutting apparatus.
In carrying my invention into practice I mount on the portable frame carried
by the travelling wheels, side by side with the turnip cutting apparatus, a suit-
able turnip pulping machine, which is driven, by means of suitable gearing, from
the horizontal toothed wheel which drives the turnip cutting apparatus described
in my former specification.
The toothed wheel which gears with the large horizontal toothed wheel, in
order to rotate the linked rod which actuates the turnip cutting knives described
in my former specification, meshes with a spur-wheel connected to a simila
linked rod, the other end of the latter being connected directly or through suit-
able gear, with the pulping mechanism of the turnip pulping machine
By withdrawing a boit oi pin in either of the linked rods atoresaid to disconnect
the said rod from the driving gear, either the turnip cutting apparatus or the
pulping apparatus can be set in operation independently of the other.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet
of illustrative drawings, wherein is shown a perspective view of a portable
mechanical turnip pulping and cutting apparatus constructed in accordance with
such invention.
Referring to the drawings, a represents the frame mounted on travelling
wheels b, such frame having bolted thereon, a turnip pulping machine c and a
turnip cutting machine d, both machines being of ordinary well known construc-
tion.
Both machines are actuated by means of the hereinafter described gearing,
from the main horizontal toothed wheel e which is rotated by means of the over-
head shaft to which is harnessed a horse, pony or other animal, in the manner
described in my former specification hereinbetore referred to.
t
The horizontal toothed wheel e gears with a toothed pinion having oblique
teeth, a spur wheel being keyed upon the rear end of such pinion and mounted
in suitable bearings between two toothed-wheels g g' whose spindles are mounted
in bearings h on the frame a and are linked to shatts by means of removable
pins the other ends of such shafts being connected, by means of suitable
geaning, with the pulping and cutting mechanisin of the respective turnip pulping
and outting machines c and d
Both the pulping and cutting machines may be provided with fly-wheels in
order to steady and facilitate the working of the mechanism.
It will be seen that both the pulping and cutting machines may be operated
simultaneously from the toothed wheel e, or by withdrawing either of the pins 28
from the connecting links, either of the machines can be thrown out of gear and
the other one run independently.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 18:
1. In portable turnip pulping and cutting apparatus, the frame mounted on
travelling wheels and having bolted thereto, side by side, a turnip pulping machine
and a turnip cutting machine. said machines being actuated from a large hori-

page_text: zontal toothed wheel, through the medium of linked, detachable gearing, whereby
either of said cutting or pulping machines may be worked independently of the
other or simultaneously, substantially as described and illustrated.
