Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.
BENJAMIN F. STURTEVANT, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN MANUFACTURE OF TOOTH-PICKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 38,768, dated June 2, 1863.
fo aZZ whom t may concern.-
Be it known that 1, BENJAMIN F. STURTE- VANT, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Boston, in the county of Suii'olk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful or Improved Manufacture of Wooden Blank or Band for the Making of TootlrPicks; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings.
The said blank or band is in some particulars analogous to the shoe-peg blank for which Letters Patent were granted to me on the 16th day of August, A'. D. 1859, and, like suchpatented blank, my said tooth-pick blank is to be cut from a rotating log of Wood by a machine in many respects essentially like that on which a patent was granted to me on the 27th day of December, A. D. 1859. The tooth-pick blank may be wholly made by such machine, provided it be furnished with suitable devices or mechanism -for producing the chamfers or bevels of the edges of the blank, or those chamfers or bevels may be produced by other means independent of such machine.
Tl e nature of my invention consists in a band or strip of Wood cut in'a spiral from a 10g of Wood, and having ehamfers or bevels at its opposite edges, the Whole being in order that When said chamfe-red band may be introduced into a suitable machine, like a brad or sprig cutting machine, the said strip by the action of such machine may be reduced to tooth-picks.
Figure 1 of the drawings denotes an edge view of the strip or band as ta-ken from a log, While Fig. 2 is a top view of a portion of it. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of it. Fig. 4 represents a top view of a portion of it, and by the red lines the positions and directions of the cuts by Which it is to be reduced into toothpicks, having the shape as represented in side view in Fig. 5 and in edge viewin Fig. 6.
In the said drawings, Figs. 2, 3, and 4., A is the band, While a a are the charnfers or bevels at its tWo opposite edges, which are parallel.
I do not herein claim the invention as patented by me on the 16th day ofAugust, A. D. 1859, my present invention containing the same and an addition or change, which renders the blank ttfor the purpose of making tooth-picks having bevels or charnfers at their opposite ends, the peg-blank being insufficient for the purpose of' making such tooth-picks.
I claim as a new or improved manufacture, for the purpose aforesaid-viz., the making ot' tooth-picks with bevels or chamfers at the opposite ends of each- The blank or band of Wood as made Wit the chamfers or bevels at its opposite edges,
and in other respects substantially as specified.
