VANSANDT MORGAN, OF WINAMAC, INDIANA.
VVICK-TRIMMER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 465,384, dated December 15, 1891.
I Application filed August '7, 1891. Serial No. 402,002.` (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be itknown that I, VANSANDT MORGAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wi u amac, in the county of Pulaski and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Wick- Triminer, of which the following is a specication.
This invention relates to wick-trimmers, and has for its object to combine With an ordinary pair of scissors a Wick-trimming device which will trim the wick in such a manner as to spread the light to theY right and `left as Well as to throw the same into a compact llame, which will give more light from the wick than from the wicks trimmed in the ordinary manner; and to this end the invention consists in providing a pair of scissors intermediate of the point of pivot and the thumb and finger holes With corrugated cutting-edges arranged and constructed in the mannerhereinafter morefullydescribed,illus trated, and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is au edge -view of a pair of wick-trimming scissors constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line @c a: of Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a pair of scissors constructed in accordance with my invention.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A designates a pair' of scissors constructed in the usual manner and comprising the ordinary blades B, pivoted at C, and having the shank portions D extending beyond the point of pivot and terminating in the usualthumb and fin ger holes E. The meeting faces of the shanks D of the scissors intermediate of the point of pivot and the operating-loops are provided With oppositely-corrugated surfaces F, which are corrugated ata slight angle in order to insure an easy manipulation and so that the registering corrugations may slide and work easily over each other. The outer faces of the Shanks D are oppositely beveled along one edge, as at G, to form cutting-edges, which, as the same come together, cut the wick and cause the same to be trimmed in a wavy andundulatingline. As said, by trimming the Wick in this manner the light is spread to the right and left and throws the flame doWn into a compact body, Which emanates an increased light area.
Having thus described my invention, What` I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a Wick-trimmer, the blades provided with Y
