(57) 5n7 The invention refers to a portable cutting apparatus for organic stalky waste materials
originating in a home-farm (a croft) and a household, which has a feeding orifice
and a rotary multiple-knife cutter roller (cutter block) cooperating with a stationary
pressure plate. The apparatus comprises a chopping head (1) and a receptacle (5),
disconnectably interconnected by means of a clamp (6), the receptacle (5) being at
least partly covered by the chopping head (1). In stand-by manner a first microswitch
(27) is activated. The drive of the cutter roller (21) is activated by the activation
of a second microswitch (10), whose activation depends on the swinging positions of
a flap (15) struck by a workpiece. In addition to an embodiment driven by an electric
motor (battery), a manually driven apparatus is foreseen. Next to a chopping part
(2) of the chopping head (1), a free-admittance part (3) is preferably foreseen. In
an embodiment with the latter part being lower than the former one, the height difference
is bridged by a handle (8), the receptacle (5) being equipped with an own handle (7).
In an embodiment with the heights of said parts being essentially equal, it is foreseen
that a carrying handle (35) of the receptacle as the only gripping element of the
cutter also interconnects the chopping head (1) and the receptacle (5).
