UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIo JOHN S. JENNESS, OF BANGOR, MAINE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 161,124, dated March 23, 1875; application filed July 2', 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN S. JENNEss, of Bangor, in the county of Penobscot and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shields for Corkscrews; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, that will enable others skilled in the art to which it apperta-ins to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 shows a knife with my attachment thereon; Fig. 2, a View of the corkscrew shield; Fig. 3, view of shield as attached to a knife having the corkscrew on the side; Fig. 4, detail of the shield.
bame letters show like parts.
My device is designed to apply to that class of pocket knives which are provided with corkscrews, and is intended as a shield for said corkscrew, preserving the pocket from wear, and preventing injury to the hand when the knife is in use. At the same time it is readily removable when desired, so as not to interfere with the utility of the corkscrew.
Referring to the drawing, Figure l at a shows a knife having a corkscrew, b, (shown in dotted lines,) secured to its back by a pivot, e, passing through lugs 11. At 0 is the shield,
of the form shown in Fig.2, one end being turned over, so as to form a thimble, f, to secure the tip of the screw. At the other end the metal is curved and bent inwardly, so as to form a hook, g, fitting a recess, h, at the back of the lugs d.
When the screw is opened for use the distance between its tip and the recess h of the lugs is lessened, allowing the shield to be removed but, when closed, the tip of the screw, pressing against the thimble f, draws the hook g into the recess h, and retains it securely in place.
If preferred, the form of shield shown in Fig. 4. may be employed, and, in fact, some such modification is necessary when the screw is partially letinto the side of the knife. In this the shield has no hook g for holding it in place, but is cylindrical in form, with an opening on one side, and of such size that it may be slipped on over the screw when it is opened, said hole not being sufficiently large for the .screw to slip out sidewise.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In combination with a knife having a corkscrew hinged thereto, the shield for said corkscrew, detachable therefrom when the same is in use, and retained in place by the corkscrew itself when said corkscrew is shut down, substantially in the manner herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of June, 1874.
JOHN S. JENNESS.
