Description: |
| Abstract:
In a band cutter and feeder construction several knives are attached to a rotating shaft; but heretofore with but few exceptions the knives have been perforated and slipped endwise over the carrying shaft being spaced apart by suitable intermediate thimbles. In such construction difficulty is experienced in removing the knives for sharpening, as it is necessary to withdraw the entire shaft from its bearing. In such an arrangement there is also difficulty in returning the several parts to initial position, so as to insure balancing of the structure.
Claim:
The combination, with a shaft and spacing-sleeves carried thereby, of a boss carried by one of said sleeves and extending axially into a socket formed in the adjacent sleeve, the said boss having one transverse dimension of less magnitude than a parallel dimension at greater distance from the axis, a knife having an open notch formed in one edge thereof and fitting said boss, the said open socket being of less width at its open end than the width farther in, whereby the knife when applied to the boss may not be transversely withdrawn, and means for clamping the sleeves together upon the knife. |
