Description: |
| My invention relates to the class of feed cutters known as lever cutters in which a single knife is attached to a lever and cuts against a mouthpiece, or bed-piece, in the manner of a pair of shears. In this class of cutters there has been much difficulty in keeping the movable knife pressed against the stationary bed piece throughout its whole cut, owing to the leverage exerted on the bearing or fulcrum of the lever and the constant wear on the knife and bed piece. Now the object of my invention as herein described is two-fold. First to overcome the above difficulty in regard to the cutting device and also to cheapen the construction of the machine and render it more portable for shipping.
