Description

March 29, 1955 G. D. DELINANOS COMBINED THIMBLE AND CUTTER Filed July 15, 1951 George D. De/inanas INVENTOR.
akin way fiM United States Patent COMBINED THIMBLE AND CUTTER George D. Delinanos, Port Washington, N. Y.
Application July 13, 1951, Serial No. 236,666
1 Claim. (Cl. 30-298) This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structural refinements in thimbles, and the principal object of the invention is to combine a conventional thimble with a cutter whereby thread, or the like may be quickly, easily and expeditiously severed without resorting to the use of scissors.
An important feature of the invention resides in the particular mounting of the cutter upon the thimble, while some of the advantages of the invention lie in its simplicity of construction, in its efficient and expeditious opcration, and in its adaptability to economical manufacture.
With the above more important objects and features in view and such other objects and features as may become apparent as this specification proceeds, the invention consists of the construction and arrangement of parts as shown in the drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the invention,
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof, taken substantially in the plane of the line 22 in Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a group perspective view of the same,
Figure 4 is an inside perspective view of the cutter shown in Figure 3,
Figure 5 is a side elevational view, partially broken away, of a modified embodiment of the invention,
Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view, taken substantially in the plane of the line 6-6 in Figure 5, and
Figure 7 is an inside perspective view of the cutter used in the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6.
Like characters of reference are employed to designate like parts in the specification and throughout the several vlews.
Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, more particularly to Figures 1-4 inclusive, the general reference character 10 designates a conventional thimble which, in this instance, has a side wall 12 and an open bottom 14, the side Wall 12 being provided adjacent the bottom edge thereof with a boss 16.
The boss 16 has a flat edge 18 and is formed with a screw-threaded bore 20, while a cutter member 22, provided with an enlarged head 24, is positioned on the ice boss 16 and secured therein with a single screw 26 which extends into the bore 20.
The cutter member 22 also has a cutting edge 28 which is spaced away from the side wall 14 of the thimble 10 so that a thread may be inserted therebetween for severing, as will be clearly apparent. Moreover, it is to be noted that the enlarged head portion 24 of the cutter member 22 is provided with a fiat shoulder 30 which abuts the fiat edge or shoulder 18 of the boss 16, whereby the entire cutter member 22 is prevented from rotating on the screw 26 and the single screw 26 is fully suflicient to sustain the cutter in position.
In the modified embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 5-7 inclusive, the thimble 50 is provided with a round boss 52 which is rotatably accommodated in the circular recess 54 of the cutter member 56, While a single screw 58 serves to secure the cutter member in position. However, since the boss 52 is rotatable in the recess 54, the cutter member 56 may be rotated about the screw 58, in other words, the cutter member may be swung from one side to the other, relative to the thimble 50, to expose the cutting edge 60 of the cutter member 56 when so desired.
It is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will be clearly understood from the foregoing disclosure and accordingly, further description thereof at this point is deemed unnecessary.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
In combination, a finger encircling member including a side wall fitting around the finger, an external boss on said member, a cutter member having an enlarged head opposed to the outer side of said boss, and a cutting blade on said head disposed outwardly of said encircling member in a plane radial to said encircling member, a single screw securing the head to the boss, and shoulders on said boss and head extending circumferentially of said encircling member and co-engaging to prevent the head from turning on the single screw, the shoulder on said head being undercut to overlap the shoulder on the boss so that said head is engaged with the side wall to space the cutting blade close to the side wall.
