1, Dr. Max SCHNEIDER of 10 Loptsienstrasse, Baden-Baden, in the Grand-
Duchy of Baden, Germany, Doctor of Medicine, 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 :-
The principal feature in the newly invented knife for cutting corns, shewn in the
accompanying drawing in seven figures is a hollow sharpened blade, provided with
little crank not far from the point, and a flat groove in the under part of the
Blade near the handle. Moreover it is characterised by a safety device, which is
drawn over the blade in a particular way, consisting in a metal strip, following
quite parallel the edge of the knife, and being attached to the latter at both ends.
At one end the strip has an eye, and at the other a clasp with an indenture, fitting
the groove in the blade
In the drawings
Fig. 1 represents the knife for cutting corns;
Fig. 2 the same with the safety-device drawn over the edge.
Fig. 3 is a cross section through the knife.
Fig. 4 a side view of the knife, the safety device being drawn over it,
Fig. 5 indicates the safety device apart,
Fig. 6 its cross section, and
Fig. 7 a section following the line A-B of the knife with the safety device.
In order to attach the safety device B to the knife A, it is only necessary to-
simply draw the eye cover the point until it reaches the small crank a. Besides
this the clasp d is drawn over the under part of the blade, and the indenture
pressed into the groove a', whereby the metal strip is firmly fixed to the knife.
When using the knife, the safety device prevents the knife cutting too deeply,
whilst after its use, accidents do not easily occur. The knife for cutting corns.
provided with the safety device thus appears to be harmless.
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
claim is :-
1. A knife for cutting corns, provided with a small crank not far from the point
and with a flat groove in the under part of the blade near the handle, as described
and shewn in the drawing.
2. A safety device for knives cutting corns, consisting in a metal strip, following
the edge of the knife and having an eye at one end, and a clasp with indenture at
the other end, as described and shewn in the drawing.
its
3. The combination of a knife for cutting corns with the safety device, whereby
eye is drawn over the point until it reaches the small crank and its indenture is
pressed into the groove of the knife, as described and shewn in the drawing.
Dated this 2nd day of January 1894.

SCHNEIDER.
