ABSTRACT:
A guard-guide device for protecting the hands of the operator of vertical sweet corn cutters and for keeping cutting knives properly aligned. The device comprises an overlapping set of guards and guides attached to the two halves of a sweet corn cutter to be spaced above and outward from the opposed half-round knives of the cutter. The half-round knives of the sweet corn cutter are mounted on top of flexible legs attached to a metal base or can be stamped from a single piece of metal. As corn is pushed down between the knives the natural outward taper of the cob causes the metal legs to move outward. The overlapping guards also expand outward at the same time and in so doing keep the metal knives aligned at 180 degrees to each other for perfect cutting of corn kernels. As the downward thrust of the corn ear is completed the overlapping guards keep the operators fingers from coming into contact with the sharp cutting edges.
