Complete Specification Accepted, 18th May, 1889
I WILLIAM PARNALL of 108 Victoria Street in the City and County of Bristol
Grocers Outfitter do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of a handle or holder of two parts. The upper part is formed
with a screw thread at one end the opposite end being designed to be worked by the
finger and thumb. At the screwed or bottom end of the bolt I drill two holes, one
passing through the entire length of the bolt, the other passing only a portion of the
length. This upper part is screwed into another female thread. When both parts are
in contact together with a wire passing through the upper part and into the second
hole, the two parts form a strong and compact handle or holder for tightly securcing a
wire that may be used for cutting cheese and the like.
Dated this 31st day of August 1888.
WILLIAM PARNALL.

page_text: 1, WILLIAM PARNALL of 108 Victoria Street, in the City and County of Bristol,
Grocers Outfitter, 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 a handle for attaching to wire, formed in two parts one of
which is perforated to receive the wire which is firmly secured when tho two parts are
screwed together.
In the accompanying drawings fig. 1 is a perspective view of one of my handles
attached to a piece of wire and fig. 2 is a section showing how the said handle is
attached to the wire.
A and B are the two parts of the handle the part A of which is in the form of
a winged bolt the threaded portion A¹ of which is adapted to be screwed into the
screwed recess B' in the part B. The part A is provided with the holes A2 and A³ the
former of which preferably inclines in the manner shown and passes entirely through
the bolt A and the latter of which may or may not connect with it. C is the wire the
end of which is passed through the hole A2 entering it first between the wings A and
passing out beyond the screwed end A¹ at which part it is doubled over and its end
inserted in the hole A'. With the wire C so arranged the parts A and B are screwed
tightly together and the wire C will be firmly held in the handle a portion of it being
preferably flattened against the end of the bolt A in the manner shown in fig. 2.
The before described device is especially adapted for cheese-cutting wires and the
accompanying drawings as a whole may be regarded as illustrating such a wire one
handle being attached at each end; besides this however the said device is applicable
to other purposes for example to bell wires.
The shape of the before described handle or either of the parts thereof may be
modified to suit requirements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A handle for attaching to wires constructed of two parts one of which in the form
of a bolt and perforated longitudinally in two places for receiving the wire is adapted
to be screwed into the other part at right angles to the length of the said other part
substantially as herein described.
Dated this 5th day of March 1889.
