EZRA IMRI TETLOW 62 Lee Lane Horwich near Bolton Lancashire Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The thread cutter which is fixed on the end of a bobbin of thread by being
driven or knocked in wood of bobbin, consists of a small piece of flat steel, iron or
other metal with sharpened sides, and a round head, or shield with the flat piece
diamond pointed, so as to drive into bobbin to fix the cutter. The edges of the
flat piece of steel are sharpened on either edge. The said round head of cutter
forms a shield to prevent the user being cut or scratched with cutter. The said
shield also forms a clip which after the cutter cuts the thread retains the one end
belonging to bobbin.
The process of cutting the thread is by simply passing the thread underneath
the said round head, or shield of cutter and the same is instantly cut to the desired
length of thread.
