Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I CHARLES IBBOTSON of 58 Cambridge Street Sheffield in the County of York
Cutlery Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURE OF SCISSORS AND
SHEARS" to be as follows :—
"
This Invention consists in the construction of scissors and shears of sheet steel
flyed out with bow shank and blade, the said bow and shank being cased with a
non-corrosive metal such as white-metal or compounds of tin and its alloys, the
metal covering also forming the shoulder on the blade.
"
In manufacturing the improved scissor or shear the blade shank and bow is
flyed out from sheet steel thus forming a "blank" of the required shape; the
"blank or part thereof is placed in a mould and the non-corrosive metal is cast
on to the bow and shank, thus forming a combined steel and metal bow and shank,
which is of great strength, is rustless and of good appearance.

I CHARLES IBBOTSON of 58 Cambridge Street Sheffield in the County of York
Cutlery Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURE OF SCISSORS AND
SHEARS and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
"
This Invention consists in the construction of scissors and shears of sheet steel
flyed out with bow shank and blade, the said bow and shank being cased with a
non-corrosive metal such as white metal or compounds of tin and its alloys the
metal covering also forming the shoulder on the blade.
In manufacturing the improved scissor or shear the blade shank and bow is
Byed out from sheet steel or formed in an equivalent manner thus forming a
"blank" of the required shape the "blank" or part thereof is placed in a mould
and the non-corrosive metal is cast on to the bow and shank thus forming a
combined steel and metal bow and shank which is rustless and of good appearance.
The accompanying Drawings illustrate my Invention. Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 5
are views of the blanks or blade tang and bow as flyed out from a sheet of steel
and stamped or ground ready for casting thereon the metal casing for the bow and
tang. Fig. 1 is an edge view and Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 are plan views of the blanks.
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are views of the completed sides of the scissors with the metal
cast on the shank and bow. Fig. 3 is an edge view and Fig. 4 is a plan view of
the completed sides of the scissor. A is the blade of the scissor B is the shank and
C is the bow as flyed out from the sheet of steel. D is the shank, and E is the
bow as covered or cased with non-corrosivo metal, G is the shoulder or projection
of the tang D on the blade A. The blade tang and bow as shown in Fig. 1 and
Fig. 2 (or as an equivalent as shown in Fig. 5) is placed in a mould and the white
metal or other non-corrosive metal is cast on the parts B C of the shank and bow
as shown at G D E in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 the bow shank and shoulder of the blado
being a compound of steel and non-corrosive metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
Improvements in the manufacture of scissors and shears by flying out from
sheet steel the blades tang and bow or blade tang and part bows thereof
and casting thereupon white metal or other non-corrosive metal bows shanks
and shoulders substantially as herein before described and as illustrated by the
accompanying Drawings.
