Description
UNITED STATES PATENT \VILLIAM H. CLOUD AND VIOL A J. TULL, OF KOKOMO, INDIANA.
KNIFE-POLISHER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 561,765, dated June 9, 1896.
Application filed August 9, 1895. Serial No. 558,746. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that we, XVILLIAM H. OLoUD and VIOLA .I. TULL, citizens of the United States, residing at Kokomo, in the county of Howard and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Knife- Polishers, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to an improved device for cleaning and polishing knives, spoons, and forks.
The object of our invention is to provide a neat and portable case carrying polishingpads adapted to receive and hold the polishing materials, said pads being so mounted in the casing as to embrace the knife-blade between them with a firm pressure thereon when the casing is closed, and so as to permit convenient access to the polishing-pads for the introduction of polishing materials and also the convenient removal and renewal of the polishing-pads when the casing is open.
The accompanying drawings illustrate our invention.
Figure 1 is a view in perspective showing the casing closed. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the casing open. Fig. 3 represents a transverse section at a, Fig. 2, showing the casing wide open. Fig. 4: represents a plate of sheet metal bent to form the several partitions which divide the interior of the easing into a number of compartments. Fig. 5 represents one of the polishing-pads removed 1' rom the casing.
In the drawings, 6 designates arectangular box having a cover 7 of like shape, but less depth, hinged thereto at one of its edges. The interiors of both the box and its cover are divided by a series of transverse partitions 8, fl, and 10 into several compartments. Said partitions are formed, preferably, by bending a plate 29, of sheet metal, into the form shown in Fig. i, so that the partitions may be readily removed for the purpose of cleaning the interior of the casing.
The polishing-pads are each formed of a block of Wood 11, having one of its sides covered with cotton-batting or like yielding material 12, which is held in place by a covering- 13, of chamois'skinpr like material, that is adapted to hold and carry a polishing-powder.
posed surfaces of the pads in the upper and. 4
lower portions of the easin g are broughtinto close contact with a yielding pressure.
For the purpose of permitting the introduction of the blade of a knife or the tines of a fork between the opposed pads when the casing is closed, notches 21, 22, and 23 are cut in the opposed edges of the box and its cover opposite one end of each of the pads, which notches are preferably lined with a metallic bushing, as at 24. The central pads 16 and 19 are used to polish the handles of knives, forks, and spoons. Forconvenience in sharpenin g knives we secure to the top of the cover a hardened-steel plate 25, having a triangular notch 26 in one of its edges.
The free edges of the box and its cover when closed are secured together by means of a hasp 27 and a staple 23.
In operation the casing being open the opposed surfaces of pads 14: and 17 and of 10 and 1!) are coated with material for polishing silver, and the opposed surfaces of pads 15 and 18 are coated with emery or like material for polishing steel. The cover being closed the surfaces of the pads are brought into close contact, and the knife-blade or fork-tines being introduced between them through the openings in the casing opposite the ends of the pads and drawn backand forth several times both sides of the blade are quickly and simultaneously cleaned and polished.
That portion of the box which is unoccupied by the pads maybe used as a receptacle for polishing materials.
lVe claim as our invention- The above-described knifepolisher, consisting of a two-part box-like casin g, said parts being hinged together at one end, a series of transverse partitions, formed of a single piece of sheet metal, dividing each of the partsof the easing into a series of compartments adapted to register With each other, a series of pads removably but unyieldingly mounted in some of the compartments ofone 0f the said parts and a series of like pads removably and yieldingly mounted in the corre- 1 spending compartments of the ether part,said
casing being provided with openings opposite the ends of the pads, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.
