UNITE STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WVILLIAM IV. RANDALL, OF SEA VIEW, MASSACHUSETTS.
DEVICE FOR SHARPENING PENCIL S.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 651,385, dated June 12, 1900. Application 1116a July 8, 1899. Serial No. 723,241. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. RANDALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sea View, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Sharpening Pencils, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to novel improvements in devices for sharpening lead pencils and it consists in the construction and arrangement of the same, all as will be hereinafter fully described.
The annexed drawings, to which reference is made,fully illustrate this devioe,in which Figure 1 representsa side view of the sharpener. Fig. 2 is an edge View of the same, and Fig. 3 is a face view in blank form.
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates the sharpener,- comprising the conical receptacle (1 for the end of the pencil and the handle b,by which the device is held when in use having an opening 0, whereby the sharpener may be hung upon a watch-chain or a cord on the neck of a scholar.
This sharpener, with its receptacle for the pencil and the handle, is formed of a single blank, (shown in Fig. 3,) and when cut or stamped out of sheet metal the outer edge 01 is given a gradual curve from the point e to the point f, providing a cutting edge 9, whereby the wood, as well as the lead, of a pencilis cut away to provide a sharp point thereto. At the lower portion of the receptacle a for the pencil the blank is formed with a projecting port-ion i, which extends below the lowest portion of the cutting-blade d for the purpose of giving support tothe point of the pencil when the same is being sharpened and at the same time serves the purpose of a chute for the shavings and for guiding the pencilpoint in its descent into the receptacle and holding the extreme point of said pencil in engagement with the lower portion of the out ter. The pencil is inserted in the mouth h of the receptacle and turned in the usual manner, when this curved cutting edge will shave the wood, clearing the lead of the same, and the latter is pointed by the lower cutting portion of the curved edge aforesaid. The projectionf provides an opening for the passage of the shavings from the wood and lead of the pencil. This cutting edge of the conical receptacle, it will be seen, is curved from top to bottom'and gives the desired shape to the pencil and its lead therein, which is a very sharp point. Thus it will be observed that inconstructing my device with the projecting lip arranged below the extreme lower end of the knife the same serves the purpose of a guide-plate and a retaining-plate for holding the point of the pencil in contact with the cutter, as well as serving to protect the extreme lower end of the cutter from injury as well as providingachut-e for the shavings, and a device as herein shown is simple in operation, durable, and at the same time cheap to manufacture.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patout, is
The blank,constructed as shown ,and adapted to be bent to form apencil-sharpener, comprising the shank 12, having the opening'c; the lower edge formed with a short downwardprojecting lug 2', adjacent to the inner portion of the shank, and a downward-curved edge cl, intermediate of the projection and the point e; and the upper outward-curved edge, extending from said point to the inner portion of the shank, as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM W. RANDALL.
