DEFINITION

Classification: 460/26

With corn snapping or husking means:

(under subclass 25) Subject matter including means for breaking the corn ear from the stalk or removing husks from the corn ear.

(1) Note. The husks are "usually" removed from the ear by

engagement of the ear between the two surfaces which include a pair of toothed elements, by a pair of husk engaging rollers having an endless chain, or by a revolving cylinder with a yielding concave surface.

(2) Note. A common form of corn combine machine employs at least a pair of snapping and husking rolls which rotate in opposite angular directions on parallel axes and are spaced apart a distance which is sufficient to admit the corn ear.
