PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Handles for Cheese Wires.
:-
JAMES WILLIAM MATTHEWS " Elmstead," Bernard Road West Cowes Isle of
Wight gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in providing a simple and ready means of fixing the wire
to handles, used for cutting cheese and is carried out in the following manner.
At present the piece of wire for cutting the cheese is fastened to pieces of wood
by being twisted round the centre of same, but this arrangement has many
inconveniences, through the wire breaking and becoming detached.
My invention obviates these inconveniences and provide a simple means of
attaching the wire to handles, and is carried out in the following manner.
I provide a suitable metal handle, I insert a screw or pin, with a hole through its
diameter to receive the end of the wire; through the projecting piece at the end of the
handle; this said screw or pin receives a clip or washer, which falls flat on the
projecting piece of the handle, and holds the end of the wire, when the nut is screwed
down upon it.
