PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Knife Cleaning Machines.
I JOSEPH WALTER SUTTON of 15 Hildrop Crescent Camden Road in the County of
Middlesex, Manager do hereby declare the nature of this invention to bo as
follows:-
This invention relates to the abutment against which the handle is held whilst the
blade is being subjected to the action of the brushes.
In order to give a long hearing to the handle I form the abutment of two parallel
cylinders preferably made of indiarubber or other elastic material-These cylinders
are fixed to the machine with their axes approximately radial so that the handle takes
a bearing along their whole length.
The cylinders may either be free to turn on their axes or may be fast upon them;
in the latter case provision should be made for allowing a partial turn to be given to
the axes as the cylinders wear away.

I, JOSEPH WALTER SUTTON of 15 Hilldrop Crescent, Camden Road, in the County
of Middlesex, Manager, 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 relates to the abutment against which the handle is held whilst the
blade is being subjected to the action of the brushes.
In order to give a long bearing to the handle I form the abutment of two parallel
cylinders preferably made of india rubber or other elastic material. These cylinders
are fixed to the machine with their axes approximately radial so that the handle takes
a bearing along their whole length.
The cylinders may either be free to turn on their axes or may be fast upon them ;
in the latter case provision should be made for allowing a partial turn to be given to
the axes as the cylinders wear away.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a side elevation showing an abutment constructed according to my
invention. Figure 2 is a plan and Figure 3 is a section on the line 1. 1. figure 2.
a is the casing of the machine and is a plate attached to it. This plate carries a
bracket c.
dd are two parallel cylinders preferably made of india rubber or other
elastic material which are held in place by the screws e e. As shown they are tightly
held between the plate and the top of the bracket the latter having a certain
amount of spring so that when the screws ee are slacked the cylinders can be
turned to present fresh wearing surfaces or the cylinders might be made slightly
shorter so as to be always free to turn.
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 :-
1. Abutments for the handles of the knives consisting of two parallel cylinders
substantially as described.
2. My improvements in knife-cleaning machines substantially as described and
shown in the drawings.
