ABSTRACT:
A leaf stripping machine for tobacco and the like which consists of a framework with a large pinwheel rotatably mounted on a vertical plane at one end of the framework and a stripping implement with a V-groove mounted on a track oriented perpendicular to the plane of the pinwheel. A plurality of tines project horizontally from the face of the pinwheel near its perimeter so that the stock of a tobacco plant or the like can be skewered thereupon. After securing a plurality of plants on the tines, the pinwheel is rotated to position each plant one after another to engage the stripper. When the stripper is driven forward its V-groove defoliates the stalk. When the swath of tobacco is removed, then the stripper operator extracts the stalk from the pin and places it on a pile at the back end of the machine. The pinwheel is then rotated and the operation repeated.
