ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for trimming the top and the bottom from ears of corn to produce standardized size corn for packaging comprises a plurality of spring loaded clamps for holding individual corn pieces. The clamps are pivotally attached in a conveyor fashion and serve to transport the individual corn pieces past a pair of vertically spaced shearing blades. Each clamp includes an outer slidable member which rides on a cam surface. The cam surface pulls the sliding member away from a fixed member to release the corn cob after the slicing operation is completed. The cam surface holds the clamp open for insertion of additional corn pieces to be cut. A vertically adjustable gauge surface is disposed below the corn insertion position for determining the correct vertical trim position at which the corn is to be held.
