UNITED STATES PATENTA OFFICE.
VILLIAM E. BLAKE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.-
IMPROVEMENT IN TOOTH-PICKS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 106,773, dated August 30, 1870.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, WILLIAM E. BLAKE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain- Improvements in Tooth- Picks, of which the following is a specication.
The nature of my invention consists in preparing a wooden or other tooth-pick with an ordinary point at one end, for insertion between the teeth, and preparing and applying to the other end of the tooth-pick, or in the middle of same, a coating of anyvapproved medical composition, that may be taken after meals for affections of the voice, mouth, and throat, as well as to aid digestion, &c., said medical composition being overlaid with a coating of perfume for the breath-and the latter coating overlaid with gold-leaf, sugar-coating, or their equivalents, by means of which I produce a neat and ornamental tooth-pick that will perfume the breath and clothes of the person using it, as I wilLfurther explain by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents an elevation of my improved tooth-pick on an enlarged scale, and Fig. 2 a vertical section of saine.
In the said drawings, A indicates the toothpick, of which B is the pointed end for insertion between the teeth. C is the opposite end of the tooth-pick, which may in like manner be pointed, or provided with a square or blunt end, notched or roughened for better supporting the medical compound D. E is the layer of perfuinery for the breath, encompassing the medical compound D; and F is the eX- ternal layer of gold-leaf or sugar-coating finish.
ThebodyA ofthe tooth-pick being prepared, I dip it in a bath of the medical compound, and, when ready, I again dip it in a bath of perfumery for the breath, and I next put on the end ot' the tooth-pick socoated with the medical compound and perfuniery a coating of sugar, or I put on a coat of gold-leaf, or their equivalents, in the usual manner, when my tooth-pick is readyfor use.
I do not claim any peculiar form of toothpick. Neither do I claim any particular Inedical composition, nor any particular quality of perfumery for the breath.
I claim-- A tooth-pick, A, saturated or in combination with a medical compound, D. perfumery E, and goldnish F, or its equivalent, as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereof' I have hereunto set my signature this 16th day of June, 1870.
IVILLIAM E. BLAKE.
