page_text: 'I DAVID JACKSON of Batley Carr near Dewsbury in the county of York do
hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS
FOR CLEANING AND POLISHING KNIVES, FORKS AND OTHER ARTICLES," to be as
follows:-
:-
.
The object of my invention is to construct a simple, cheap, and effective cleaner
and polisher.
I construct my apparatus as follows, between two suitable frames, are two shafts,
upon which are two indiarubber rollers, one half of the rollers are plain and the
other halves are corrugated so as to clean and polish either flat, round, or irregular
shaped articles, such as knives, forks, stairs-rods and the like, the shafts of the
rollers are geared together at one end, so that they rotate towards each other, a
trough is formed wherewith to hold emery powder or fine sand, to assist in polishing,
the apparatus being operated by a hand wheel.

page_text: I DAVID JACKSON of Batley Carr near Dewsbury in the county of York Joiner,
do hereby declare the nature of iny said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
APPARATUS FOR CLEANING AND POLISHING KNIVES AND FORKS, AND OTHER
ARTICLES," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
The obiect of my invention is to construct a simple, cheap, and effective cleaner

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my improved knite cleaner.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1, shewing gearing.
Fig. 3 is a back end elevation of Fig. 1.
Figs. 4 and 5, are details of brush, and way of fixing same.
A is the frame of machine which forms two troughs B and C, for fine sand or
emery powder, to assist in polishing, D and E, are two shafts, upon which are the
indiarubber rollers F, G, and H, and one half of the roller G, is corrugated, for
polishing, and cleaning, irregular substances such as, forks, stairs rods, and the like,
-but instead-of-a-roller working above the corrugated roller G, I use a brush J,
which is made in halves, and secured by bushes S and ST; T find that the-brush-
acts upon the nicks, and crevices, in irregular shaped articles, in a most satisfactory
manner, the shafts carrying the rollers, have two pinion wheels K and L, gearing
into the teeth of the fly or hand wheel M, which is operated by hand, a cramp N,
secures the machine to the table.
The bearings P, carrying the shafts, are adjustable, by means of screws R, this
arrangement of knife cleaner does not wear the knives, or articles, cleaned and
polished and does its work, in the most effective manner, whilst it can be produced
and sold, at a moderate price.
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
1 claim is:
1 The combination of the brush and rollers, for cleaning and polishing knives,
forks, or irregular substances, as shewn and described.
2 The means of adjusting the bearings of the rollers, by means of screws R, as
shewn and described.
3 The means of driving the rollers, so as to rotate towards each other, at the
point of contact, as shown and described.
4 The brushes, constructed in halves and attached as shewn and described.
