Shears. -- In apparatus for shearing sheep or pelts by power, the shears employed are constructed with guards 24, Fig. 4, a forked blade 26, and a two-edged blade 27 working over it. The blades are pivoted together and operated by separate cams inside a flat case 23 provided with a handle 25. The cams are driven from an extensible shaft 34 through a universal joint 29 protected by a cloth-covered coiled-wire case 32. A point 28 extends out between the guards 24 to the ends of the shear blades, so as to separate the wool and give each blade its proportion. A pair of ordinary hand shears I2, Fig. 3, may be operated by power by enclosing them in a case C2 provided with a handle 25 and levers f2 which are clamped at H2 to the arms of the shears and actuated by a cup-shaped cam E2 on a shaft D2. The case C2 is shown upside down. It is closed by a plate formed with guards L2 and a step V2 for the shaft D2. The step is made with a cavity for oil. The bow of the shears is held by a clamp G2, which is secured to the case by bolts or screws passing through slot holes, so that it can be adjusted to make the shear blades project a suitable distance. A ledge S2 is formed on the bottom plate of the case to support the upper shear blade, which is pressed down by a set-screw in the top of the case.Cataloged By
