JOHN BREITENBAOH, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
BREAD- KNIFE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 499,650, dated J une 13, 1893, Application tiled October 11, 1890. Serial No. 367,880. (No model.)
To a/ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN BREITENBAOH, of St. Louis, Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in Bread-Knives, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The improvement relates tO that class of bread-knives having a base-board, a post, and a cutter, the cutter being connected with the post, and in its movement being raised and lowered from and toward the base-board, and the improvement consists in the special manner of shaping and combining the various parts of the device, substantially as is hereinafter described, and claimed, aided by the annexed drawings, making part of this speciication, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of the improved knife, its two positions in use being substantially indicated by the full and the broken lines respectively; Fig. 2 a plan view of the same; and Fig. 3 a side view of the cutter de` tached.
The same letters of reference denote the same parts.
A represents the base-board.
B represents the round post. It is fixed to or in the base-board in any suitable manner, and its upper portion, b, is adapted tO receive a bracket, C, which can be adjusted in any position horizontally around or vertically thereon and, by means of the set screw c, fastened at any desired height upon the post. D'represents the cutter. It is composed of three parts: a long, wide, blade, d, having a straight cutting-edge d', a handle, d2, which is secured to the free end, cls, of the blade, and an arm, d4, which is secured rigidly, as shown, to the opposite end, d5, of the blade. The arm, d4, extends from the blade, upward, and, at it-s upper end, is hinged, at c to the bracket C to enable the cutter to be turned, upon the bracket, upward and downward as indicated substantially by the two positions of the cutter shown respectively by the full and broken lines in Fig. l.
In operating the knife the free end of the blade, by means Of its handle, is raised. This causes the end d5, of the blade to be drawn away from the post, B, but it is at the same time not elevated nearly as high as is the free end of the blade. By this means when the blade is moved downward again, as in use, the operator is enabled to Obtain a shearing cut upon the loat` of bread, or whatever is being cut, and the bread, dto., is thereby sliced advantageously; the blade also owing to its straight cutting edge and tO the described mode of connecting it with the bracket by means of the arm d4, is brought into contact with the base-board throughout its length substantially, and in consequence a slice of considerable length can be cut. As the blade is reground from time to time to sharpen it it is necessarily narrowed. To enable it when thus narrowed to coact in the manner described With the base-board the bracket, O, is made vertically adjustable upon the post. That is, as the blade is narrowed, the bracket, as indicated by the broken lines in Fig. l, is set lower down upon the post, the bracket being lowered until the blade throughout its length can coact with the base-board. When the blade requires regrinding the cutter is detached from the bracket as indicated in Fig. 3. The operator then, by grasping the handle d2 in one of his hands and the arm d4 in his other hand, can present the blade to the grind-stone advantageously, the arm d4 for the time being serving t'Or another handle.
In Order to prevent grooving Or channeling the board the position of the knife over the board can be changed by turning the bracket C, horizontally around as may be desired on the post.
In the use of the present device I desire not to be restricted to the cutting Of bread only, as the device is well adapted for slicing vegetables, sausage and other articles.
I claim- The within described bread cutter consisting of the base board( having the round, iixed post near one end, the handled knife having the rigid arm projecting vertically from its upper forward corner, said arm having pivotal connection with the vertically and horizontally adjustable bracket 'upon said post, substantially as set forth.
JOHN BREITENBACH.
