UNITED STATES FREDERICK SABGENT, OF EASTIPORT, MAINE.
PARING KNIFE.
- Application filed November 28, 1921. Serial No. 517,977.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK SARGENT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofEastport, in the county of Washington and State of Maine, have invented a new and Improved Paring Knife, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in paring knives, an object of the invention being to provide a device of this character which will facilitate the paring of fruit and vegetables in such a manner that there will be no waste in the parings, or in other words, a knife which is provided with improved means-for preventing the same from cutting too deeply into the article pared.
A further object is to provide a knife of this character which is particularly designed for paring vegetables or fruit having hollows therein, and a knife which will be ex-' ceedingly simple and practical in construction, durable and efficient in use, inexpensive to manufacture, and safe to use.
With these and other-objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective v'ew of my improved paring knife;
Figure 2 is a view in transverse section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1; the dotted lines indicating an article in the process of being pared; and
Figure 3 is a view in section on the line 33 of Figure 1.
Referring in detail to the drawings, my improved knife is equipped with a handle 1, ofany approved material and shape. .The invention resides in the particular shape of the knife itself and in the novel construction guard which is utilized for regulating the It will be seen of depth of cut of the knife. that this guard includes a len h of w re s ecured in one end of the ban le member 1n any approved manner. This w1re extends for a short distance at an angle'to the longitudinal plane of the handle member, as seen at 2, and then includes a relatively long straight portion 3 parallel to the long1tud1- nal lane of the handle and offset therefrom.
At t e free end of the wire the same is bent or curved gradually back toward the central longitudinal axis of the handle, as seen at will be evident that and alterations might be made in the general.
4, and the extremity 'of the guard is located over the outer end of the straight portion 3.
The knife designated by the reference numeral 5 is integral at each end with the wire guard, one end of the knife merging into the nection wlth the handle member, as indicated at 6. The knife preferably is constructedffrom the same piece of wire which forms the guard and adjacent its point of junction with the guard is substantially circular in .cross sectlon. The main cutting portion of the knife, however, is of triangular cross section, as seen most clearly in Figure 2, and includes a relatively sharp cutting edge 7 presented toward and offset from the straight portion 3 of the guard.
The knifeis parallel to the straight portion of the guard-and offset therefrom so that the guard may regulate its depth of cutting. At its outer end, the knife is curved in conformity with the shape guard, as seen at 8 in into the guard adjacent its extremlty. The curved portion 8 of the knife is also offset from the curved portion 4 of the guard.
guard adjacent its point ofcon-' of the free end of the Figure 1 and merges The ordinary manner of use of the knife will be apparent from the foregoing description. Thecurved portion of the knife is particularly useful in scooping eyes from potatoes, or in paring fruit or vegetables having hollows therein since this curved end of the knife will readily fit into a hollow and pare the skin' cleanly from the same.
It might also be noted that the positioning of the cutting edge of the blade of the knife practically eliminates the danger of the user cutting himself accidentally. The hooked extremity 4 of the guard not only serves the usual purpose when scooping eyes from potatoes or paring hollows in vegetables, but may also be conveniently used as a grip by the forefinger of an operator for more firmly gri ping the knife.
lthough I have illustrated ne of the preferred embodiments of my 1nvent1on,,1t various slight changes form and arrangement of the parts described without departing from the invention, and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the precise details set forth, but shall consider myself at liberty slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
to make such I claim:
1. As a new article of manufacture, a paring knife including a handle and an integral blade and guard member carried thereby constructed from a single length of wire bent upon itself to dispose the leads thereof in parallel relation, one of said leads cut away and beveled to provide a cutting blade having its cutting edge presented toward and spaced from the guard member.
2. A paring knife constructed from a single length of wire bent upon itself to provide'an integral blade and guard member constituting the parallel arranged leads on said wire, one of which is cut away and beveled to provide a cutting blade having itscutting edge presented toward and spaced from the opposite lead Which constitutes the guard member, said leads being offset at one extremity, and a handle attached to said offset extremity.
3. A paring knife constructed from a single length of wire bentupon itself to provide an integral blade and guard member constituting the parallel arranged leads on said wire, one of which is cut away and beveled to provide a cutting blade having its cutting edge presented toward and spaced from the opposite lead which constitutes the guard member, said leads being offset at one extremity, and a handle attached to said offset extremity, the opposite ends of said leads having complementary parallel curved portions terminating in the bight of the Wire to afford a finger rest for the user.
FREDERICK SARGENT.
