JULES SABATIER of Bread Street Hill in the City of London, "IMPROVEMENTS
"
IN CLIPPERS OR SHEARS FOR CLIPPING HORSES AND OTHER ANIMALS APPLICABLE
ALSO FOR CUTTING THE HUMAN HAIR A communication to me from Abroad by
J. Bariquand and Son of Paris Franco;
This invention relates to improvements in the arrangement construction and
combination of parts of clippers or shears for clipping or cutting the hair of horses
and other animals the same being applicable for cutting the human hair.
One of the principal advantages of these improved horse clippers is the facility
and rapidity with which they can be taken to pieces and put together again
without the aid of a special tool. The parts are so formed that they can be easily
cleaned and ground being also of great strength and easy working.
For this purpose according to the first part of these improvements the guide
plate and left hand lever are formed or made in one part only. The insido face
of the guide plate carries guide pins and also the pivot or axis on which the levers
move it is also formed with a hole for the tightening bolt to pass through.
The bottom comb plate has four holes or apertures vis; one for the pivot two
for the guide pins and one for the tightening bolt.
The upper comb plate has three slots or oblong apertures to allow of its
movement upon the bottom comb plate and it has a notch or recess to allow the
right hand lever to oscillate
In order to put the parts of the clipping apparatus together the right hand
lever is placed upon the left hand lever with the comb plate and bottom comb
which are secured together by means of a screw bolt and thumb nut.
In place of securing and tightening the parts together by a central nut as

previously described this may be effected by means of a screw nut at each end of
the comb plate.
In this modification two screw bolts are fixed on the bottom comb and pass
through the top comb and the left hand lever these parts being secured together
and tightened up by a screw nut at each end
The axis or pivot fixed on the left hand lever as in the previous arrangement
(and on which the hand levers oscillate) passes through the bottom comb but
without being fixed to it.
By the arrangements previously described these clipping machines can be easily
taken to pieces and put together again they work easy and though stronger and
of botter construction than the machines in general use for this purpose they are
more simple and less expensive.
Finally this invention consists in the improved arrangement and combination
of the parts hereinbefore described particularly that the left hand lever carries the
axle or pivot on which the hand levers oscillate holding and supporting the
principal parts and passing through the bottom plate without being fixed to it

JULES SABATIER of Brend Street Hill in the City of London. "IMPROVEMENTS
IN CLIPPERS OR SHEARS FOR CLIPPING HORSES AND OTHER ANIMALS APPLICABLE
ALSO FOR CUTTING THE HUMAN HAIR"-A communication to me from abroad by
J. Bariquand and Son of Paris, France
This invention relates to improvements in the arrangement construction and
combination of parts of clippers or shears for clipping or cutting the hair of horses
and other animals the same being applicable for cutting the human hair.
One of the principal advantages of these improved horso clippers is the facility
and rapidity with which they can be taken to pieces and put together again
without the aid of a special tool. The parts are so forined that they can be easily
cleaned and ground being also of great strength and easy working. .
For this purpose according to the first part of these improvements the guide
plate and left hand lever are formod or made in one part only. The inside face
of the guide plate carries guide pins and also the pivot or axis on which the levers
move it is also formed with a hole for the tightening bolt to pass through.
The bottom comb plate has four holos or apertures vis; one for the pivot two
for the guide pins and one for the tightening bolt.
The upper comb plate has three slots or oblong apertures to allow of its
movement upon the bottom comb plate and it has a notch or recess to allow the
right hand lever to oscillate.
In order to put the parts of the clipping apparatus together the right hand
lever is placed upon the left hand lever with the comb plate and bottom comb
which are secured together by means of a screw bolt and thumb nut.
In place of securing and tightening the parts together by a central nut as
previously described this may be effected by means of a screw nut at each end of
the comb plate.
In this modification two screw bolts are fixed on the bottom comb and pass
through the top comb and the left hand lever these parts being secured together
and tightened up by a screw nut at each end.
The axis or pivot fixed on the left hand lever as in the previous arrangement
(and on which the band levers oscillate) passes through the bottom comb but
without being fixed to it.
By the arrangements previously described these clipping machines can be easily
taken to pieces and put together again they work easy and are stronger and of
better construction than the machines in general use for this purpose they aro
more simple and less expensive.
Finally this invention consists in the improved arrangement and combination
of the parts hereinbefore described particularly that the left hand lever carries the
axle or pivot on which the other lever oscillates holding and supporting the
principal parts and passing through the bottom plate without being fixed to it.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 (sheet 1) of the drawings show the improved arrangement
and construction of parts in which one central screw nut is employed for securing
and tightening the parts together.
The guide plate Ċ and the left hand lover A form only one part. The insido
face of the guide plate carries the guiding tenons T (Figures 4, 5 and 6) and the
axis of articulation or pivot R the hole L Figures 3 and 5 is for the tightening
bolt D (Figure 2) to pass through.
The bottom comb plato F (Figure 8) has four holes or openings one for the
pivot R two for the tenon guides T and one for the tightening bolt D.

page_text: The comb plate H (Figure 9) has three oblong openings to allow of its to and
fro motion upon the bottom comb plate F and there is a notch to allow the lever B
(Figures 1, 2 and 7) to oscillate. To put together the clipping machine place the
lever B (Figure 2) on the lever A the comb plate H and the bottom comb F and
then fix the parts together by passing the bolt D and screwing up the thumb
nut M.
For some purposes it is found advantageous to tighten the parts with a screw
nut at each end in accordance with this invention.
The two bolts G (Figures 10 and 11 sheet 2) are fixed on the bottom comb J
(Figure 17) as usual and passes through the comb K (Figure 18) and the left hand
lever H (Figures 11, 12 and 14) hexagonal nuts at each end are for the proper
tightening of the plates.-
The axle of articulation or pivot I Figures 11, 13 and 15 holds (as in the
arrangement previously described) the parts and passes through the bottom comb J
Figures 11 and 17 without however being fixed to it.
By these improved contrivances these clipping machines are easily taken to
pieces work easy and though stronger and better than such machines in general
are simpler and less expensive.
Having thus described the nature of the invention communicated to me from
abroad, what I claim on behalf of the said J. Bariquand and Son is;
The improved arrangement combination and construction of parts comprising
the improved clippers or shears previously described in which the left hand lever
carries the axle or pivot on which the hand levers oscillate holding and supporting
the principal parts and passing through the bottom plate without being fixed to it
the several parts being arranged to act substantially in the manner_and_for_the..
_purpose hereinbefore fully-described with reference to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the drawings hereto annexed.
In witness whereof I the said Jules Sabatier have hereunto set my hand and
seal this Twenty third day of January in the year of our Lord One thousand eight
hundred and eighty four.
