UNITED STATES Patented March 7, 1905 PATENT OFFICE.
STRING-CUTTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,421, dated March 7, 1905.
Application filed July 9,1904. $eria1 No. 215,901. 2
1'0 it lo/tomit In/(Ly concern:
Be it known that I, EMERICK H. PAINTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Alpha, in the county of Lewis, State of \Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in String-Cutters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear. and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to cutters, and more particularly to string-cutters, and has for its object to provide a cutter attached to a ring, so that it may be worn upon the finger, thus being at all times ready for use.
Afurther object is to provide a construction which will permit of movement of the cuttingblade into position to permit of sharpening thereof and which will be such that the device may be simply and cheaply manufactured.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, and it will be understood that modifications of the spe-' cific construction shown may be made and any suitable materials may be used withoutdeparting from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken longitudinally of the cutting-blade and in the plane of the pivot-pin. Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the cutting-blade raised and in position for sharpening.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a ring 5, havinga transversely-extending metallic block 6 secured thereto, the block being provided with a transverse notch 7 in its upper edge, which is of considerable width, as shown, and the block is also provided with a longitudinal slot Sin its upper edge extending from end to end thereof, the bottom of the slot 8 lying below the bottom of the notch. There are thus formed two pairs of spaced ears 9 and 10, the pairs of ears being separated by the notch 7, and formed through the pair of ears 9 are alining perforations 11, and disposed in the slot 8 is a blade 12, the cutting edge of which is directed upwardly, and this blade is provided with a perforation 13, which alines with the perforations 11 for the reception of a pin 14, upon which the blade is movable pivotally. The opposite end of the blade 12 from the perforation 13 lies between the pair of ears 10, and formed through one of these ears is a threaded perforation 15, with which is engaged a screw 16, which is movable into and out of engagement with the blade'to prevent or permitmovement thereof upon its pivot. Formed upon the blade and projecting beyond the end thereof which lies between the ears 10 is a projection 17, which maybe engaged by the linger-nail to move the blade upon its pivot.
The cutting edge of the blade is exposed in the notch 7 in both forms, and it is thus in position to cut a string pressed thereagainst. The cutter is designed for use by tailors, storekeepers, seamstresses, and others using thread or cord and by reason of its being worn upon the hand is always ready for use.
\Vhat is claimed is- 1. In a string-cutter, the combination with a ring having spaced pairs of spaced ears, of a cutting-blade pivoted at one end between one pair of spaced ears and movable on its pivot with its opposite end into position between the opposite pair of spaced ears, and means for holding the blade against pivotal movement, the outer longitudinal edge of the blade being sharpened.
2. In a string-cutter, the combination with a ring having spaced pairs of spaced ears, of a; cutting-blade pivoted at one end between one pair of spaced ears and movable on its pivot with its opposite end into position between the opposite pair of spaced ears, means for holding the blade against pivotal movement, the outer longitudinal edge of the blade being sharpened, and the end of the cutting-blade opposite to its pivot projecting with its unsharpened lower face beyond the corresponding ears for the purpose set forth.
3. In a string-cutter, the combination with a ring having spaced pairs of spaced ears, of a cutting-blade pivoted at one endbetween one pair of ears and movable into and out of position with its opposite end between the opposite pair of cars, the outer longitudinal edge of the blade beingsharpened and the unpivoted end of the blade projecting with its lower In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in unsharpened longitudinal edge beyond the I presence of two Witnesses.
