page_text: I FREDERICK ROVEDINO of 5, Westville Road, Shepherd's Bush in the County of
Middlesex, Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows,
reference being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed, and to the Letters marked
thereon that is to say
My Invention relates to a novel construction of Grater or Scraper to be used
especially in the grating or scraping of Cheese, the said Grater or Scraper being
constructed, either, by the divided intersection of Perforated Metals, Wood, Ivory,
Bone, or other Material, in any form of perforation (whether in Chrcles, in Squares, or
in Angles), or also by any Saw-like or Comb-like cutting edge, produced in ordiniry
ways These Graters or Scrapers I manufacture either in Strught or Curved Forms
(Figures A) Circular (Figure B) or as a Rotatory Machine (Figure (') and by me ins
of this cutting Saw-like oi Comb-like edge, I am enabled to grate or Sciape the Cheese
or other substances operated upon, without any clogging as is the case with the ordinary
Graters

page_text: An Improved Cheese or like Grater
I, FREDERICK ROVEDINO, of 5, Westville Road, Shepherd's Bush, in the County of
Middlesex, Gentleman 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 has for its object an Improvement in the Manufacture of Cheese or
like Graters, and for this purpose, I take either, a thin Sheet of Metal, Wood,
Ivory, Bone, or other Material, perforated through its surface, over all, or in part
in Circles, Squares, or Angles, at equal or alternate distances, and make any right or
curved Line Section thereof, by dividing asunder the intermediate Blank or Upper-
forated Spaces, thereby producing a Cutting Saw-like or Comb-like edge, or using
for the same purpose, any other Saw-like, or Comb-like Cutting Edge, produced in the
usual and ordinary ways
These Graters or Scrapers I manufacture with, or without Handles of Wood, or any
other Material, either in straight or curved Cutting Edge forms, also in Circular
Shapes or as Rotatory Machines, or such other Shapes as I may hereafter find to be
desirable, reference being made to the Drawings hereunto annexed
Figure 1 is a representation of a Right line intersection of Perforated Circles
Figure 2 is of a Concave intersection of Perforated Squares, mounted with
Handle
Figure 3 is of a Convex intersection of Perforated Angles
Figure 4 is of a Grater of Circular form, with a Comb-like Cutting Edge.
Figure 5 is of a Rotatory Grater, with a Saw-like Cutting Edge
A is a Disk of Wood or other Material
B is a sharp-pointed Spindle fixed in Disk with the upper portion thereof turned as
a Male Screw
Cis Grater with a Saw-like Edge attached to the Spindle by a tube of Metal or
other Material, and revolving round the Spindle as an Axis
D is a Spiral Spring and Female Screw Button or Nut, for pressing down the
Grater, on the Surface of the Cheese or other substances operated upon
E is a Handle for turning round the Grater
F. is a Cheese transfixed through its Centre by the Spindle B

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1 That my Invention comprehends by a simple lineal intersection of the before-
mentioned perforations, or by any other Saw-like or Comb-like Edge, produced in
the usual and ordinary ways, the Active, Cutting, grating, or Scraping principle of
the Graters previously in ordinary use
2 That by means of the Saw-like or Comb-like Edge produced by either or any of
the manners aforesaid, I am enabled to grate or scrape the Cheese, or other substances
operated upon, without the Materials Clogging the Grater, as is the case with the
Graters previously in ordinary use
