PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Driving Gear Applicable to Chaff Cutters and
similar Machines.
CHARLES TURNER, Machinist 75 Carrington Street Bridge, Nottingham in the
county of Nottingham do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to the application of speed gearing to chaff cutters and other
machines worked by hand, where the work is intermittant; by which means an
additional velocity is given the fly wheel thereby materially reducing the labour of
working the machine giving a clean and easy cut to the operator.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation and Fig. 2 an enlarged section of gearing of chaff
cutter shewing the application of spur gear giving an additional velocity to fly wheel
of three to one, more or less, of knives upon handle shaft.
A is the handle shaft upon which is secured the knife plate B driven by handle C
keyed upon opposite end of same, upon this shaft is keyed a wheel D gearing into a
pinion E running upon stud secured to suitable bracket for receiving same at front of
machine cast with E is another wheel F driving a pinion G cast with fly wheel H.
The pinion G and fly-wheel H running loose upon handle shaft.
Fig. 3 and 4 is front elevation and plan shewing application of bevel wheels. Upon
handle shaft A is keyed bevel wheel E in gear and driving a bevel pinion F keyed
upon shaft G, in bearing at right-angles to handle shaft A. Upon the opposite end
of shaft G is keyed the Hy-wheel H.
Dated this Twelfth day of January 1888.

similar Machines.
CHARLES TURNER 75 Carrington Street Bridge Nottingham, in the County of
Nottingham, Machinist do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to he particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to the application of speed gearing to chaff cutters or other
machines worked by hand where the work is intermittant; by which means an
additional velocity is given the fly wheel, thereby materially reducing the labour of
working the machine giving a clean and easy cut to the operator.
Upon drawing left with the provisional specification Fig. 1 is a front elevation and
Fig. 2 an enlarged section of gearing of chaff cutter shewing the application of spur
gearing giving an additional velocity to fly wheel of three to one more or less over
knives on handle shaft.
A is the handle shaft upon which is secured the knife plate B driven by handle C
keyed upon opposite end of same, upon this shaft is keyed a wheel D gearing into a
pinion E running upon stud secured to suitable bracket for receiving it at front of
machine cast with E is another wheel F driving a pinion G cast with fly wheel H;
the pinion G and fly wheel H running loose upon handle shaft.
Figs. 3 and 4 is front elevation and plan shewing application of bevel wheels.
Upon handle shaft A is keyed bevel wheel E in gear and driving a bevel pinion F
keyed upon shaft G in bearings at right angles to handle shaft A and upon the
opposite end of shaft G is keyed the fly wheel H.
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 is
An application of speed gearing to chaff cutters or other machines worked by
hand, where the work is intermittant; by which means an additional velocity is given
the fly wheel, thereby materially reducing the labour of working the machine.
