ARTHUR W. COX, OF AUBURN, MAINE, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO WILLIAM M. HAMILTON, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN TABLE-KNIVES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 216,725, dated June 24, 1879; application filed May 1, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, ARTHUR W. COX, of
. Aubu-rn, countyof Androscoggin, and State ofMaine, have invented an Improvement in Table-Knives, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.
My invention consists in table-knives having cutting-surfaces on both edges, with fin gerrests disposed on both edges between the out ting-surfaces and the chorl. 1
Before my invention it has been proposed to hinge a thumb-rest to the handle of a butchers knife. and to seat such rest in a depression in the back of the blade. 11; has also been common to reduce the width of the blade toward the handle by removing a portion of the metal of the back.
Figure 1 represents, in side elevation, a table-knife embodying my invention; Fig. 2, an edge View thereof; Fig. 3, a section through the blade on the line as m, and Fig. 4. a section taken through the knife at one of the fin gerrests.
The knife is composed of a handle, a, and a blade, I), separated by a chorl, c. The blade is sharpened or made to cut at its two edges 2 3; but the blade-say from the portions 4c back toward the chorl--is, at both its edges, made thick or dull, (see section at Fig. 4,) so that the thumb or finger of the user of the knife will not be cut when pressed thereon.
To greatly add to the efficiency of the knife the dull or thick-edge portions of the blade between the cutting-edges 2 3 and the chorl are waved or made irregular, as at 6, to enable the finger of the user to readily remain in position on the finger rest. The number of these concavities or projections at each edge of the blade may be more or less, according knife is held in the hand, as in cutting food for eating, will naturally come in contact with the meat or other food being cut.
I do not broadly claim a two-edged blade; but I am not aware that a knife with a twoedged blade has, between the outer end of the blade and chorl, ever been provided with fingerrests at each edge of the blade, so that the knife could be readily used either edge up.
I claim As an improved article of njanufiicture, a table-knife composed of a handle, achorl, and a blade having two cutting-edges for a part of its length, and finger-rests in each edge of the blade between its cuttingedges and chorl, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ARTHUR W. COX.
