BllLLlARn-CUE'CUTTER.
:SPECIFICATION forming part of 'Leiters Patent No. 254,703, dated Maren v, 1882.
Application tiled January 12, 1882.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PATRICK RYAN, of the city, count-y, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Billiard-Cue Gut- 5 ter, of which the following is a full, clear, and
exact description. l
The object of my-invention is to provide a y device for cutting the ends of billiard-cues, l having such construction that no difticulty will io be experienced in makin g a true cut across the end of the cue. y
The invention consists principally ot' a cuereceiving sleeve or shell, on the end of which is swiveled a stock that carries a hinged knife.
I5 The invention further consists in providing the cne-receivin g sleeve or shell with a clamping device for holding the cue, and also ot' the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specitication, in
which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l is a perspective view of my im- Fig. 2 is a longi- Fig. 3 is a detailed plan view, partlyin section, of the block for swiveling the shell and stock together. f
o a represents the shell or sleeve; B, the stock; and O, the knife-arm, which is hinged at f upon the stock, and which is provided with the cutting-blade c. The shell A is provided with the clamping-screw d, and is formed with 3 5 the lange b at its forward end.
D is the block, which is secured upon the stock by the screws i i, for swiveling the shell and stock together, the block and stock being correspondingly recessed, as shown at a a', and
4c correspondingly channeled, as shown at e e', to inclosc and engage with the neck b and tiange b of the shell, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.
The stock is recessed at y in frontof the recess c', to form a continuous passage from the passage through the shell to lthe outer edge of the stock, so that there will be no obstruction to passing the end of the cue any desired distance through the shell under the knife.
The upward movement of the knife-arm C is (Model.)
limited by the stop h,wliich in the drawings 5o is shown as an ordinary headed screw; but any form of stop that reaches over the top of the farm at a sniicient height maybe used.
he tace ot the block D is made square, as
clearly shown in the drawings, and forms an abutment and guide for the kniiearnn to move in contact with, so that thekniteiwill always move in a plane exactly at right angles to the shell An n In use the end of the cue to be cut is to be 6o passed through the shell the proper distance, and the cue clamped by the screw d. The stock and free end ot' the knife-arm are then to he grasped by one hand ot' the user and the shell is to be grasped by the other hand of the user. The knife-arm and stock are then to be tirmly griped by the hand, so that the knife will come forcibly in contact with the cue, and then the knife-arm and stock and the shell are to be worked reciprocally in opposite direc- 7cV tions, or the shell held from turning in the hand, and the stock and knife-arm turned upon the sleeve and around the cue, so as to first form a shallow cnt entirely around the end of the cue. This turning of the knife-arm and stock, or the reciprocal action oi' the knife-arm and stock, must be continued until the end of the cue is cut oi'.
It will beseen that as the cue and sleeve are securely clamped together and revolved, or 8o held stationary as one part, the cue will be i held from any longitudinal movement with respect to the knife, and that each successive cut around the circumference of the cue will always be directly in the linie of the cut previously made, and as the knife is held and guided exactly at right angles to the shell and the cue, it follows that the cue must be cnt o' square and true; and it will be further understood that neither the knife or cue need any 9o special guiding by the hands of the user, asis the case with the ordinary cutters, which have no'clamping attachment for the cue.
The end of the screw d will be covered with a small piece of leather, rubber, or similar material, to protect the cue from bein-g dented, scratched, ork marred by the screw when it is screwed forcibly down upon the cue.
Having thus fully described my invention,
what I claim as new, and desire to secure by for the purposes set forth.
4. The combination, with the stock B, ofthe sleeve A, handle C, and the hub D, the handle carrying the blade c, and the sleeve the screw d,substantia1ly as and for the purposes set forth.
5. The sleeve A, provided with the screw d and formed with, the flange b, in combination with the stock formed with the depressions a. g and channel e', the hub D, formed with the cut-away place a and channel e, the handle C, and the stop la, the handle carrying the blade c, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
