Complete Specification Left, 22nd Aug., 1835-Accepted, 28th Sept., 1895
I, JOHN EDMUND PHILLIPS of Woolhampton Berkshire, Stationer and
Bookseller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a new or improved slate cleaner and has for its object
to provide a handy device which will quickly and effectually clean slates of all
kinds without the use of water, dusters, or the like, and which can be very cheaply
produced as well as being very cleanly in use.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, I form a disc furnished with a
suitable knob or handel while to the under-surface of this disc I attach by means of
cement or in any other suitable manner a thin layer or sheet of rubber.
When it is required to clean a slate the writing is first breathed upon by the
operator and the device with the rubber surface lowermost is lightly passed over
it when the writing or the like is at once removed and the slate left clean for
future use.
