I THOMAS HOUGH of Florence Works Mander Street Penn Road Wolverhampton
in the County of Stafford Steel Toy Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of
my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CHEESE TASTERS
& BUTTER TRYERS to bo as follows:-
The handle of the Instrument when seperate from the Scoop or Blade has a
round hole bored through near centre the top side of which is countersunk―
lengthwise of the handle from this hole is cut a cresant like groove to let in
the Blade which it is made to fit the Blade is made of one uniform thickness from
end to end being only reduced in thickness when nessary to produce the required
shapo and sharpness of Blade or Scoop one end of Blade or Scoop is tapered down
from full width of Blade to a width of of an inch the taper commencing from
about 2 inches from the end, this end is further reduced untill a round projecting
piece is made at the end about of an inch in length by inch in diameter this
end fits into tho handle where the round hole and cresant liko groove are made to
fit it it is then revited at the top and the joining made good with solder.

I, THOMAS HOUGH Florence Works Mander Street Penn Road Wolverhampton
Steel Toy Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CHEESE TASTERS & BUTTER TRYERS
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The handle of the Instrument when separate from the scoop or blade bas a round
hole bored through near the centre, the top side of which is counter-sunk-Length-
wise of the handle from this hole is cut a crescent like groove to let in the blade,
which it is made to fit-The blade is made of one uniform thickness from end to
end, being only reduced in thickness where necessary to obtain the required shape 1
and sharpness of blade or scoop. One end of the blade or scoop is tapered down
from full width of blade to a width of of an inch, the tapering commences from
about two inches from the end; this end is further reduced until a round projecting
piece is made at the end about of an inch in length by inch in diameter―
This end fits into the handle where the round hole and crescent-like groove aro
made to fit it-It is then rivetted at the top, and the joining made good with
solder.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings, the
manner in which my Invention is to be performed.
Figure 1, shews the handle of the Instrument when separate from the Blade or
Scoop, through which a round hole (a) is bored, a little out of centre, the top sido
of which is counter-sunk.
Figure 2 shews a crescent-like groove (b) cut in the under side of the handle, into
which the blade is tapered down and made to fit.
Figure 3 shews the blade or scoop, which is made of one uniform thickness from
end to end, being only reduced where necessary to obtain the required shape and
sharpness of the blade or scoop. The Blade (c) is tapered down to a width of .of
an inch, which tapering commences about two inches from the handle end of blade.
This end is further reduced until a round projecting pieco is formed about + of an
inch in length by of an inch in diameter (d).
Figure 4 shews tho Blade fitted to the handle by means of the crescent-like
groove (Fig. 2b) and the projecting piece (Fig. 3. d.), that portion of the Blade (c)
which as before stated is reduced to of an inch in width, is fitted into the
crescent-liko groove to a depth of about of an inch, and the round projecting
piece (Fig. 3. d.) is made to pass through the round hole in the handle (Fig. 1. a.)
and allowed to project about of an inch-This projecting piece is then rivetted
down into the round hole (Fig. 1. a.) which is counter-sunk to receive it. The
joining of these parts is then made good with solder.
Figure 5 shews the article when completed.
Figure 6 gives a side view shewing that the blade is fitted into the handlo
square on both sides (E) and not brought. Auch as is usual in similar productions

page_text: "Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
"
I. Constructing & arranging a crescent-like groove in the handle with a round
hole nearly in the centre right through the handle as herein before described.
II. In constructing, arranging and making the handle end of the Blade or Scoop
in crescent-like shape, with a round projecting piece, to fit in the handle, as berein
before described.
III. In fitting together the handle with Blade or Scoop, securing and fastening
the same together by rivetting at the top, and making good the joinings thereof
with solder, as herein before described.
