Complete Specification Left, 30th Mar., 1894-Accepted, 5th May, 1894
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Puttying Knife.
I, ALBERT BLAKE of St. James Street Portsea, Bookseller, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to an improved form or construction of puttying knife,
intended to provide an arrangement by which the putty can be moulded or shaped
into ornamental forms. The end of the blade instead of being pointed is formed
flat or square and bent upwards to a suitable angle so that it can be moved evenly
and along the putty. This square end is fluted or dented at the edge forming when
passed over the soft putty corresponding indentations and ridges or flutings of an.
ornamental form. Any attractive moulding can thus be formed in the putty by a
simple application of the knife. The device may be applied to ordinary putty knives
by rivetting or otherwise fixing a small plate formed in the manner above described,.
to the end of the knife.
Dated this 29th day of June 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Puttying Knife.
I ALBERT BLAKE of St. James Street Portsea, Bookseller, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to an improved form or construction of puttying knife,
intended to provide an arrangement by which the putty can be moulded or shaped
into ornamental forms. The end of the blade instead of being pointed is formed
flat or square and bent upwards to a suitable angle so that it can be moved evenly
and along the putty. The square end is fluted or dented at the edge forming when.
passed over the soft putty corresponding indentations and ridges or flutings of an
ornamental form. Any attractive moulding can thus be formed in the putty by a
single application of the knife. The device may be applied to ordinary putty knives
by rivetting or otherwise fixing a small plate formed in the manner above described,
to the end of the knife.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 a face view of the knife according to my
invention, and
Fig. 3 shows the arrangement fixed to the ordinary puttying knife.
A is the blade of the knife furnished with the handle fitted in the ordinary
manner and of the shape commonly employed in such articles, with the exception of
the end B. This part is bent at a suitable angle to the rest of the blade and is
fluted or indented at the edge, moulding the putty when passed along it in an
ornamental manner. In Fig. 3 the part B is riveted or soldered to the ordinary
puttying knife.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1) An improved puttying knife having a square end formed with fluting or
indentation of an ornamental kind, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(2) An improved puttying knife having a square end bent up at an angle to the
rest of the blade and formed with ornamental flutings or indentations substantially
as described and shown, and for the purposes specified.
Dated this 30th day of March 1894.
