Complete Specification Left, 22nd July, 1895-Accepted, 7th Sept.,
1895
I, ANDREW HUGH BOGLE, of 4 Park Place, St. James Street, London, S. W.,
Major-General, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
-
My mvention relates to improvements in the construction of the guard of a
carving fork, whereby such guard may be operated with more security than with
the ordinary guard.
In carrying out my invention, I make an elongated perforation or slot in tho
guard, from side to side, the guard having a flat base.
Though this perforation, the ordinary rivet is passed, and when the fork is
raised, the top of the slot rests on the rivet, the base of the guard resting on the
inside lower surface of the neck of the fork.
When it is required to lower the guard, it is only necessary to raise it until the
bottom of the slot comes in contact with the rivet.
There will then be a space between the bottom of the guard, and the inuer
surface of the fork, giving room for the guard to pivot forward into its ordinary
position when not used.
Dated this 9th day of May 1895.

1, ANDREW HUGH BOGLE, of 4 Park Place, St James Street, London S.W.
Major-General do hereby declare the nature of this invention aud in what mauner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement -
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of the guard of a
carving fork, whereby such guard may be operated with more security than with
the ordinary guard
In carrying out my invention, 1 make an elongated perforation or slot in the
guard, from side to side the guaid having a flat base.
Through this perforation, the ordinary rivet is passed, and when the guard is
raised the top of the slot rests on the set, the base of the gunid resting on the
Dside lower surface of the neck of the fork.
When it is required to lower the guard, it is only necessary to raise it until the
bottom of the slot comes in contact with the rivet.
There will then be a space between the bottom of the guard and the inuer surface
of the fork, giving room for the guard to pivot forward into its ordinary position
when not used.
In order that the mechanical construction and operation of my invention may be

page_text: quite clearly understood I proceed to give a further description of details tuereor
with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation.
Figure 2 an elevation of the guard.
Figure 3 a longitudinal section of the fork.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the figures.
The guard a of the fork is made with elongated perforation or slot extending
from side to side, and has a Ant base
Through the aforesaid elongated perforation in the guard the ordinary rivet 15
passed, and when the fork is raised into the position indicated by dotted lines, the
top of such slot rests on the vet the base of the guard a resting upon the inside
lower surface of the neck of the fork.
When the guard is to be lowered, it is only necessary to raise it until the bottom
of slot comes into contact with the rivet.
It will be seen that the essential feature of novelty in the invention is the improved
device for controlling, raising and lowering as required the guard of a caiving fork
by means of an elongated perforation or slot made through the guard and working
in contact with a rivet in such slot to produce the automatical effects of raising aud
lowoning, substantially as herembefore set forth
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
clann 18:-
1. The improvements in carving folks, comprising a guard having a vortical
elongated or rectangular slot in the base thereof, through which slot the usual livet
passes, such guard being capable of falling into its horizontal position when it is
raised or given an upward vertical movement, substantially as described and
illustrated
2 In a carving fork, a guard having an elongated or rectangular vertical slot
formed transversely through the angular base of same, through which slot passes a
rivet hinging said guard in a recese in the fork, such guard being capable of assuming
a fixed oi horizontal position when the fork is reversed and then returned to its
ouiginal position, substantially as specified, and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
