PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION:
Improvements in Cutters or Scorers for Paste, Dough, and
the like:
I, JOHANN GEORG LOCHLEIN, of Wendelstein, near Nürnberg, Bavaria,
Germany, Master Metal-turner, do hereby declare the nature of this. invention
to be as follows:-
A dough or paste cutter or scorer according to this invention comprises a
number of circular knives having plain, zig-zag or corrugated edges and mounted
at suitable distances apart on a common axle so as to be capable of rotation in a
framing which is provided with a handle whereby the appliance can be readily
manipulated.
Referring to the accompanying drawings;
Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive illustrate a cutter or scorer according to my invention
having plain-edged knives and provided with cleaning combs as hereinafter more
particularly referred to;
Figs. 5 & 9 shew a cutter or scorer with zig-zag or corrugated knives; and
Figs. 6 to 8 inclusive illustrate a cutter or scorer without a cleaning comb.
Figs. 1 & 6 are front elevations,
Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
Figs. 3 & 7 are longitudinal sections.
Figs. 4 & 8 are plans or top views of cutters or scorers with plain edged knives,
and with and without a cleaning comb respectively.
Figs. 5 & 9 are plan views of cutters or scorers with ziz-zag or corrugated
knives.
The appliance consists of a number of circular knives a, mounted on an axle b,
and kept at suitable distances apart by means of interposed leather washers c.
The knives are either flat with plain circular cutting edges as shown in Figs. 1
and 6; or they may have zig-zag or corrugated cutting edges as shown in
Figs. 5 and 9 or may be otherwise shaped as desired. The knives a with their
axle b are held between a suitable sheet metal support d, bent into approximately
U-form and connected by a shank or shanks e or in any other suitable manner with
the bandle f.
Between the several knives there may be arranged the teeth g of a cleaning ог
stripping comb or combs the said teeth projecting from one side or from both sides
into the spaces between the knives. The combs h, which serve to strip off or clear
away the paste or dough adhering to the knives, are fixed to the support d in any
suitable manner.
In the arrangement shown in Figs. 6 & 9 there are no stripping or cleaning
combs it being suitable for use with paste or dough that is less adhesive than that.
for which the other arrangements are designed. 11 are end washers which bear
against the end knives a a¹ and are held in place by nuts k k.

1, JOHANN GEORG LOCHLEIN, of Wendelstein, near Nürnberg, Bavaria,
Germany, Master Metal-turner, 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 :-
A dough or paste cutter or scorer according to this invention comprises a
uumber of circular knives having plain, zig-zag, or corrugated edges and mounted
at suitable distances apart on a common axle, so as to be capable of rotation in
a framing which is provided with a handle whereby the appliance can be readily
manipulated.
Referring to the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification,
Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive illustrate a cutter or scorer according to my invention
having plain-edged knives and provided with cleaning combs as hereinafter
described, Figs. 1 and 2 being elevations at right angles to each other, Fig. 3 a
cross section, and Fig. 4 a plan of the same;
Fig. 5 is a plan of this cutter or scorer provided with zig-zag or corrugated
knives instead of plain ones.
Fig. 6 is a front elevation, Fig. 7 a cross section; and Fig. 8 a plan, of a cutter
or scorer without a cleaning comb and provided with plain-edged knives, Fig. 9 being
a plan of the same but with corrugated or zig-zag knives substituted for the
plain ones.
The cutter or scorer consists of a number of circular knives a, mounted on an
axle b, and kept at suitable distances apart by means of interposed leather washers c.
i, are end washers which bear against the end knives a, al and are held in place
by nuts k, k.
The knives may be flat with plain circular cutting edges as shown in Figs. 1 to 4
inclusive and in Figs. 6 to 8 inclusive; or they may have zig-zag or corrugated
cutting edges as shown in Figs. 5 and 9; or they may be otherwise shaped as
desired. The knives a with their axle bare held between the arms of a suitable
sheet metal frame or support d, bent into an approximately ☐ form and connected
by suitable means such as by a shank or shanks or pins e with a handle f
Between the several knives there may be arranged the teeth 9 of a cleaning or
stripping comb or combs h, the said teeth projecting from one side or from both
sides of the frame or support d into the spaces between the said knives. The
combs h, which serve to strip off or clear away the paste or dough adhering to the
knives, are fixed to the support d in any suitable manner, as for example by pins
or rivets.
In the arrangement shown in Figs. 6 to 9 there are no stripping or cleaning
combs, it being suitable for use with paste or dough that is less adhesive than that
for which the other arrangement is designed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what mauner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A cutter or scorer for paste, dough, and the like, in which a number of
circular knives or discs a, a¹ having plain, zig-zag, corrugated, or otherwise shaped
cutting edges are mounted in a row on a common shaft b so as to be capable of
rotation between the arms of a frame or support d provided with a handle f, the
said knives or discs being kept at suitable distances apart by interposed leather
washers c, substantially as herein described.

page_text: 2. A cutter or scorer of the kind specified in the preceding claim, in which the
teeth g of one or more stripping or cleaning combs h project into the spaces
between the circular knives or discs for the purpose of stripping or clearing away
the dough, paste, or the like adhering to the said knives or discs, substantially as
herein described.
3. A cutter or scorer of the kind specified in Claim 1, in which the knives or
discs a, a' are held together on the axle 6 by means of end washers i and nuts k,
substantially as herein described.
4. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the improved cutters
or scorers hereinbefore described with reference respectively to and shown in
Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive; and in Figs. 6 to 8 inclusive of the drawings, or modified
according to Figs. 5 and 9.
Dated this 21st day of May 1895.
