, -Application filed March 7,
.My invention relates, to nail files in whlich 0 1p. The objects ofmy invention are to provide a nail file in which'the clip and file can be manufactured ,andutempered' separately; in which the clip can be adjusted to any depth of pocket; which can be used as a cigar cutter; and which eliminates the disadvantages of a clip formed as an integralpart of the file handle. Other objects and advantages are to be foundin the construction and arrangement of parts as will be described in the specifica-. tion and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. g j I I attain these objects with the mechanism,- illustrated intlie accompanying drawings, in
which:
Fig. I is a able clip.
Fig. II is a side view ofFig. I- V Fig. III is abottom view of the handle in Fig. I.
Fig. IV is a section through Fig. I along the line IV-IV.
Fig. V is a modification of the cigar cutting edge shown inFig. I. c
Fig. VI shows the clip firmly attached to the handle of the nail file.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views. I V
A nail file, besides serving as'a-manicuring tool, couldbe use-d as an opener for cigarette packages, an opener for envelopes, a knot opener, a scraper of paint or labels plan View of a file with aslid 7 from glass surfaces, and other like'purp'oses,
providing it were always handy and within reach; this demands that a nail file should always be carried in a persons pocket, and should have a clip to preventthe loss from the pocket. Nail files with clips stamped out as an integral part of the handle have been manufactured heretofore, but this entailed a large amount of breakage in the more, file steel and spring steel have a different composition and require different methods of tempering, sothat integral manufacture of file and clip did not prove practical; further, such a clip did not permit ad-' justment; to the (lepthof the pocket.
To obviate these disadvantages, and also steel and cut'a longitudinal slot 2 in the handle 3, said sl0t2 terminating in a round-hole 192a. sen-a1 no. 259 h. p 4 with. sharp ed e?) near top of the handle 3. I then ta e a clip 6 which is manufactured of spring steel, and provided with wings 7 and 8 :which no t' only encircle the edges of the handle 3 with sliding fit, but. one of the wings 7' is bent were enter the slot 2 and to press against the edge of the slot 2 with a sliding fit, thus preventing the clip 6 from slipping beyond the limits of the slot 2 and also to impart to the clip 6 in its movement in longitudinal direction a strong guiding effect. The other wing 8 not only covers the slot 2, but overlaps and rests firmly on the first mentioned wing 7 to make the accldental disengagement'of the latter from 6 which is directed toward the round hole 4 carries aslanting cutting edge 9 with the point either to one sidelas in Fig. V, or preferably in the center as'in Fig. I whereby the Where a sliding clip is not desired, the same maybe welded, soldered or riveted firm- OFFICE].

theslot more difficult. That edge of the clip lyin place as shown in Fig; VI. The advantages to be found inthe manufacture of differentkinds of steel, and the separate tempering'can thereby still be obtained.
Having thus described my invention, it"
will be seen thatmy objects have been accomplished, and, though I have shown the preferred form of construction, I reserveto myself the right to make minor changes, pro
principle of my invention. I
I cla m:
1. In a'nall file, the combination o'f a flat handle,
of said wings entering the slot, the other Wing overlapping the, slot and pressing against edge .projecting from the clip toward the round hole in the handle. 2. A nail file havingafactured and tempered, wings integral with of thehandle, a spring steel clip, wings flat handle portion," aflongitudina-l slot in the handle portion, with. clip of spring steel separately manu 'viding I do not contravene the spirit and I the first-named'wing, and a cigar-cuttlng I the clip, said wings encircling the handle portion slidably, one of said 'win gs entering the longitudinal slot, the other wing overlapping the slotand pressing againstthe first-mentioned wing.
3. A nail file having a flat handle portion,
a longitudinal slot in the handle portion,
said slot terminating in a round hole with a sharpened edge near the top of the handle portion, with a clip of s} )ring steel,' wings integral with the clip, said Wings encircling the handle portion slidably, one of said wings entering the longitudinal slot the other Wing overlapping the slot and pressing against. the first-mentioned wing, said clip carrying a cigar cutting edge in shearing relation with the round hole.
4. A nail file having a flat handle portion, a longitudinal slot in the handie portion,
wings entering the slot the other Wing overlapping the slot and pressing against the first mentioned Wing, and a cigar cutting edge projecting froin' the clip in shearing relation with the fiat handle and terminating in a sharp point at the center line of the longitudinal slot.
In testnnony whereof I aflix my signature.
