the right to vary the construction thereof
so long as I do not depart from the scope
of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
10 1. A device of the character described, in-
cluding a suitable shaft and two opposing
disks mounted thereon, one of said disks be-
ing rigid with the shaft and the other being
slidably mounted thereon, but keyed thereto,
15 each disk having 'an arcuate groove in the
inner face thereof, said grooves being simi-
larly shaped and correspondingly located, a
cutting blade composed of thin flexible ma-
terial arranged between said disks whose op-
20 posite edges fit into said grooves.
2. A device of the character described, con-
sisting of a suitable shaft and two circular
disks mounted thereon, one of said disks be-
ing rigid with the shaft and the other being
25 slidably mounted thereon, but keyed thereto,
the inner face of each disk being provided
with two oppositely disposed arcuate grooves,
the grooves of one disk corresponding in
shape to the grooves in the other disk, and
30 a plurality of blades carried between the
disks, the ends of each blade fitting into the
corresponding grooves of the disks.
3. A device of the character described, con-
sisting of a suitable shaft and two opposingdisks mounted thereon, one of said disks be- 3
ing rigid with the shaft and the other be-
ing slidably mounted thereon, and keyed
thereto, each of said disks having an arcu-
ate groove in the inner face thereof, said
grooves being eccentric with reference to 40
the disk and similarly shaped and corre-
spondingly located, a cutting blade arranged
between said disks whose opposite ends fit
into said grooves, and means for holding
said slidable disk firmly against said blade. 45
4. A device of the character described,
consisting of a suitable shaft and two oppos-
ing disks mounted thereon, one of said disks
being rigid with the shaft and the other
being slidably mounted thereon, and keyed 50
thereto, each of said disks having an arcu-
ate groove in the face thereof, said grooves
being eccentric with reference to the disk
and similarly shaped and correspondingly
located, the outer side of each groove being 55
abrupt and the inner side being sloping, a
cutting blade arranged between said disks
whose opposite ends fit into said grooves,
and means for holding said slidable disk
firmly against said blades. 6u
