UNITED STATES JOHN W. GIBBS, OF CHARLESTON, ILLINOIS.
TWINE-CUTTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 17, 1906.
Application filed Tune 28, 1905. Serial No. 267,421.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN W. Games, a citizen of the United States, residing at Charleston, in the county of Coles and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Twine-Cutters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved twine-cutter, and is especially designed to be worn upon the fingers of merchants or others having a large number of'packages'to wrap.
It consists, essentially, of a knife-bladeattached to a ring, said knife-blade extending along and being spaced from the finger upon which the ring is worn.
The object of the invention is to produce a device of the character mentioned which will be very simple and durable in construction, which can be manufactured at comparatively small cost, and which will not in any manner interfere with the free use of the hands, upon which the device is worn.
For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction of the means for effecting the result reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my im- Fig. 2 is a top plan Fig. 3 is a plan view of the metal strip before bending. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a modification in which the knife-blade and ring are made separate.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters p The twine-cutter is preferably formed out of a single strip of metal, one end of which is bent around in the plane of and approximately at right angles with the strip of metal to form a blade 1, which is provided with a cutting edge 2. The 0 posite end of the metal strip is formed with a tongue 3, an end of which is bent outwardly to form a hook 4, which is adapted to engage with any one of a series of openings 5, located adjacent the blade 1, when the strip is bent around, so as to form a ring. By engaging the hook 4 with the required one of the openings 5 the size of the ring can be adjusted to suit any finger.
While I have described the device as being formed out of a single strip of metal, it will be obvious that the knife-blade might be made from the finger upon which the ring is worn.
It is preferably worn upon the thumb of the left hand, so that .the point of the knife is located at the heel of the thumb. After a package has been wrapped and secured with any kind of twine the twine is passed between the thumb and knife and quickly severed by anupward movement of the left hand, the package being held by the right hand.
It will thus be understood that I have invented a twine-cutter which can be readily adjusted to fit any size of finger and which will enable the operator to easily cut comparatively large sizes of twine.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is v 1. A twine-cutting finger-ring formed of a single strip of flat material having a knifeblade at one end thereof, the cutting edge of which extends along an edge of the strip from an end thereof to an intermediate point, the remainder of thestrip being bent in the shape of a finger-ring while the knife-blade is folded over to extend at approximately right angles to, and lie in a plane parallel to the plane of the flat strip, a fiat side of the blade extending longitudinally along and being parallel to the finger.
2. A twine-cutting finger-ring formed of a single strip of flat material having a knifeblade at one end thereof, the cutting edge of which extends along the edge of the strip from an end thereof to an intermediate point, said strip having a series of perforations adjacent the cutting-blade and a tongue at the opposite end adapted to form a positive engagement with any one of the series of perforations when the strip is bent in the shape of a finger-ring, and said knife-blade being folded over so as to extend at approximately right anglesto, and lie in a plane parallel to the plane of the flat strip, a flat side of the blade extending longitudinally along and being parallel to the finger.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
