Abstract
The invention relates to an improved cutter bar. The bar consists basically of a stationary comb (1) upon whose teeth a toothed blade (2) slides back and forth in alternating motion while being maintained in contact with the comb by means of blade-retaining brackets (3); the blade and the comb furnished with respective recesses (2b and 1b), the latter longitudinally disposed; the recesses being opposed in such a way as to establish an enclosed channel into which a rod (5) may be inserted with the capability of sliding therein. The blade teeth protrude transversely with respect to the bar, and forward therefrom with respect to the teeth of the comb.

In an improved cutter bar arrangement comprising
- (a) a stationary comb including a plurality of teeth;
- (b) a toothed blade adapted to slide back and forth in an alternating motion upon the teeth of said stationary comb;
- and a
- (c) blade-retaining means for maintaining contact between said stationary comb and said toothed blade, the improvement wherein:
- said stationary comb and said blade are provided with respective longitudinally disposed recesses so opposed as to establish an enclosed channel, and wherein said arrangement further comprises a rod of a size corresponding to said enclosed channel and slidably received therein, said stationary comb and said blade being so shaped that, when said rod is removed from said channel, said blade slides freely off of said stationary comb in a direction transverse to said comb.
