PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Knife Cleaner.
I, CHARLES HERBERT WIGG, of 78 Gwynne Road, Battersea, London S.W.,
Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
My invention relates to an improved knife cleaner, which consists of a light
box square in section and about six inches long with an opening at the top to
insert emery or any other like powder; this said opening is provided with a suitable
stopper. In the inside at the base I fix a pad formed of wood with a carpet lining
or otherwise, and above the aforesaid pad I place another corresponding pad which
is connected to the inside of the top of the box by two coil springs these said springs
force the top pad down unto the bottom pad. The sides or parts of the sides
of the top pad are slightly cut away in order to permit the emery to pass down
onto the carpet of the bottom pad which run from end to end of the aforesaid
box. At each end of the box I fix a metallic (or of any other material) plate
with a suitable shaped slot, and in either of the aforesaid slots I pass in and
out the blade of a knife for the purpose of cleaning the same by the action of
the emery powder and the aforesaid pads.
The box is charged with emery powder or the like in the opening provided at
the top, this said opening is fixed up with a suitable stopper.
