FREDERICK KONRAD HUBER, OF HAMLIN, TEXAS.
STALK-CUTTER ATTACHMENT FOR SULKY-PLOWS.
11,288. Specifcation of Letters Patent. Patented Oct. 15,19
Application filed January 30, 1912. Serial No. 074,357.To all whom; it may concern"
Be it known that I, FREDERTCK KONRAD
HiTBER, a citizen of the United States, re-
siding at Hamlin, in the county of Jones
5 and State of Texas, have invented certain
new and useful Improvements in Stalk-Cut-
ter Attachments for Sulky-Plows; and I
do hereby declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the invention,
10 such as will.enable others skilled in the art
to which it appertains to make and use the
same.
This invention relates to stalk cutters and
more particularly to stalk cutter attach-
15 ments for sulky plows.
An object of the invention is to provide
a stalk cutter which may be readily at-
tached to a sulky plow or similar implement
for cutting stalks to one side of the imple-
20 ment to which the attachment is . secured
during the operation of said implement.
A further object is to provide a stalk cut-
ter of this character which will be highly
efficient and effective in operation and the
25 blades of which maybe secured to the rings
in such manner as to be readily detached for
sharpening and like purposes.
Other objects and advantages will be
hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the
30 specification and claims.
In the accompanying drawing which are
made a part of this application, Figure 1 is
a perspective view of the stalk cutter, and,
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view
35 through the same and through one wheel of
a plowing implement, over which wheel the
cutter attachment is secured.'
Referring more particularly to the draw-
ings in which similar reference numerals
40 designate corresponding parts throughout
the several views, 1 and 2 represent rings
forming the opposite ends of the attachment
and having the oppositely bent ends 3 and 4
respectively of the blades 5 detachably se-
45 cured thereto. The straight spokes 6 have
their outer ends secured to the inner. face of
the ring 1 and their inner ends secured to
the flanges 7 positioned upon the hub 8
which is adapted for engagement over the
50 outer end of the hub 9 of the wheel 10 form-
ing one of the wheels of the sulky plow or
other farming implement. The wheel hub
9 carries the flanges 11 from which the
spokes 12 project radially and have theirouter ends secured to the wheel 10, over 55
which the ring 1 fits snugly when the at-
tachment is in position.
The hub 8 projects a short distance in the
direction of the ring 2 and carries upon this
end a flange 13 from which the end spokes 60
14 project toward the near edge of the ring
2, the extremities of the spokes 14 being se-
cured to the inner face of the ring 2 in any
suitable manner.
It will be understood that the wheel 10 is 65
of such width as to permit of the same be-
ing received within the ring 1 and the hub
9 of said wheel within the end of the hub 8
of the attachment. The attachment fits
snugly over the wheel and hub, however, 70
thus causing the cutter attachment to rotate
with the wheel of the implement. As the
cutter attachment is removably secured to
one wheel of the sulky plow or other farm-
ing implement, to one side thereof and out- 75
wardly of the wheel, the blades 5 will serve
to cut the stalks to the side of the machine
during the operation of the latter, thus.
eliminating the necessity of employing two
separate machines for cutting the stalks and 80
plowing or cultivating the ground.
By connecting the inner ends of the spokes
14 to the end of the hub 8, adjacent the ring
1, the outer end of the attachment is left
open without any hub and spokes within the 85
center of the ring 2 to catch the stalks and
thus hinder the operation of the cutter at-
tachment. Further, owing to the detachable
connection of the ends 3 and 4 of the blades
5 with the rings 1 and 2 respectively, said 90
blades maybe readily removed for grinding
and like purposes.
* It will be apparent that this attachment
may be readily secured to or removed from
any sulky plow or other farming implement 95
now in use.
What I claim is:-
1. A cutter attachment for farming im-
plements comprising rings, blades connected
to the rings, a hub within one of the rings 100
and directed toward the opposite ring, said
hub being adapted for engagement over the
hub of a wheel while the ring around the
first mentioned hub is adapted for engage-
ment over the wheel. 105
2. A stalk cutter attachment comprising
rings, a hub within one of the rings and
projecting a short distance in the direction1,0
12.
