PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Handle for Cheese and like Cutters.
THOMAS LILLEY DRUMMOND, 160, Cathcart Road, Govanhill, Lanarkshire,
Stationer (Traveller), do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
I take two pieces of iron or steel tube each about 2 inches in length inch
thick and inch bore these I file and dress the ends of as shown at A. Fig. 1 I tap
the end of each tube with a inch Whitworth thread 1 inch into tube as denoted
by B Fig. 1, I next take a piece of iron or steel rod and run a thread on it to fit
the thread in the tube cutting the rod into lengths of 2 inches as shown in Fig. 2.
I then take one of these lengths and screw it into one of the tubes to a depth of
1 inch and fasten it there as at C Fig. 3. I then drill a hole through the diameter
of the screw inch from shoulder of tube to admit of the wire as at D Fig. 3. I
then screw on the other tube as at E Fig. 4. I next drill a hole inch from each
end of handle with a inch drill as at F and G Fig. 4 to admit of levers for
screwing the two tubes tightly together on the wire thus holding it secure from
slipping as at H Fig. 4. The distinctive features of my handles are, that, there is
no twisting of the wire required as at present used and that the same are easily
and quickly adjusted to ends of wire, and that the same can be shortened or
lengthened to suit convenience of the person using same. The surface of wire
and handles being smooth thus avoids the danger of the hands being cut by the
wire coming out of twist as is commonly the case with the tempered steel wire
used at present twisted on wooden handles for cutting cheese or any other substance
to be cut in the same manner. Wire with handles adjusted as at Fig. 5.
