PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Instruments for Cutting Cheese or like Material.
1, WILLIAM DEMPSTER, of Lauriston, Falkirk, in the County of Stirling,
North Britain, General Wire Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows, that is to say :-
My said invention has for its object the constructing of cheese cutters or
instruments for like purposes in an improved manner so as to be easily used in an
effectual and satisfactory manner, and especially so as to be durable and not liable
to the separation or rupture of its parts.
In carrying out my invention I employ for the cutting part of the instrument,
steel wire such as is known as piano wire, of about 20 British wire gauge; and
I attach the ends of the wire in a special manner to the handles which are by
preference made of stout copper wire, but may also be made of tinned iron wire or
other suitable metal. Each handle consists of a straight or nearly straight outer
part to be grasped in the hand, the ends of the wire forming the handle being
bended so as to meet and approximately form a triangle of which the middle part
forms the base, the two bent back parts being equal. The extreme ends of the
handle wire are bended over to form closed eyes to receive the end of the cutter
wire; which is secured by its end being threaded through the eyes of the handle
wire and then carefully coiled round the other part of the wire.
Dated this Eleventh day of March 1895.

Improvements in Instruments for Cutting Cheese or like Material.
1, WILLIAM DEMPSTER, of Lauriston, Falkirk, in the County of Stirling,
North Britain, General Wire Worker, 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, that is to say :—
My said invention has for its object the construction of cheese cutters or
instruments for like purposes in an improved manner so as to be easily used in an
effectual and satisfactory manner, and especially so as to be durable and not liable
to the separation or rupture of its parts.

I attach the ends of the wire in a special manner to handles which are by preference
made of stout copper wire but may also be made of tinned iron or steel wire or

page_text: And in order that my said invention and the manner of performing the same may
be properly understood I hereunto append a sheet of explanatory drawings to
be hereinafter referred to and showing an instrument for cutting cheese or like
material as made with my improvements.
Figure, 1, of the drawings is a view of one handle, as at right angles to Figure, 2,
which is a view of the instrument, with the middle part of the cutting wire
broken away for convenience. In these drawings the same reference letters are
used to mark the same or like parts wherever they are repeated.
I employ for the cutting part of the instrument, steel wire such as is known
as piano wire, of about 20 British wire gauge; and I attach the ends of the
wire, A, in a special manner to handles, B, which are by preference made of
stout copper wire. Each handle, B, consists of a straight or nearly straight
outer part, C, to be grasped in the hand, the ends, D, of the wire forming the
handle being bended so as to meet and approximately form a triangle of which
the middle part, C, forms the base, the two bent back parts, D, being equal. The
extreme ends of the handle wire are bended over to form closed eyes, E, to receive
the end of the cutter wire, A, which is secured by its end being threaded through
the eyes of the handle wire and then carefully coiled round the other part of the
wire.
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 :-
The constructing of an instrument for cutting cheese or like material sub-
stantially in the improved manner hereinbefore described and as shown in the
accompanying drawings.
