Description: |
| Tool with a hand guard and hook on one handle, and elliptical cutter on the other handle. Springs work to spread the handles. Designed to facilitate lifting wire-bound grain bundles on to the feed table of a threshing machine, and to cut the binding wire. The tool as produced used a compression coil spring rather than the leaf springs shown in the drawings.
Known examples marked with the patent date (final digit of date looks like "8" rather than "7").
Patent no. 208,046 granted Sept. 17, 1878 is described as an "improvement on Chadbourn's band cutter." It added a spring and grooved slot structure to hold one end of the severed wire band so it could be safely discarded separately from the straw. |
