head sleeved upon its shaft and provided
with a plurality of sockets k, into which the
cutters 1 are fitted, the cutters being held in
the sockets by the inclined screws m, as seen
5 in said Fig. 3, the outer or acting portions of
the cutters being rounded, as shown, and the
head being provided with a throat or depres-
sion n in advance of the cutter, as shown, so
as to provide a clearance therefor.
ro The operation is simple and apparent. The
device may be either pushed in front of or
drawn after the engine. The belt connection
from the engine gives motion to the parts and
revolves the cutters, which shave off the tops
15 of the blocks. The cutters may be arranged
to chip or cut up or down,but preferably up,
as they then come in contact with less grit
and dirt, which abound more or less on the
pavements that have been used. Besides
20 there is less liability of jerking off pieces
and edges of the blocks.
The cutters are movable and adjustable.
The braces D are pivotally connected with
the frame, so that the device will not be af-
25 fected by any uneven or jostling motion of
the engine.
Modifications in detail may be resorted to
without departing from the spirit of the in-
vention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
30 What I claim as new is-
1. The platform supported upon rollers andhaving means for operation from a suitable
source of power, combined with a movable
frame having bearings for the central and
forward rollers of said platform and carrying 35
the cutters, and means for vertical adjust-
ment of the frame, as set forth.
2. The combination, with the platform and
its adjustable frame having bearings for the
central and forward rollers of said platform 40
and carrying the cutters, of the means for op-
erating the cutters, and the pivoted braces
for attachment to a traction-engine, as set
forth.
3. The combination, with the platform and 45
its supporting-rollers, of the skeleton frame
pivotally held to the platform and having
bearings for the central and forward rollers
of said platform, the cutters carried by the
said frame, the means for adjusting the said 50
frame vertically, the pivoted braces for at-
tachment to an engine, and means for im-
parting motion to the cutters from an engine,
as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the above I have 55
hereunto subscribed my name in the presence
of two witnesses.
