PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with Machines or Appliances for
Clipping Hair or other like Material or Substance.
1, WILLIAM BOWN, Managing Director of the Firm of William Bown
Limited, 308 Summer Lane, Birmingham in the County of Warwick, Engineers
and Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows-
-
This invention as reference to that class of machines for chipping hur or
other like substance which are operated by means of one hand and a spring or
springs the object of which is to enable such chippers to be more easily operated
without decreasing the power of the spring which actuates the return stroke of
the cutter, and my improvements consist in forming out of or connecting to the
inner side of one of the levers of the said machine a suitable inclined projection
Fastened to the other level of the said machine is one end of a suitablo spring,
the other end of the said spring is provided with a small roller or ball, which
said roller o ball when operating the machine travells up and down the inclined
piece connected to or formed out of the other lever of the said machine by
which means the power requned to operate the said leveis is considerably decreased
and the friction on the spring greatly reduced.
Dated this 3rd day of October 1894.

Improvements in connection with Machines or Appliances for
Clipping Hair or other like Material or Substance
1, WILLIAM Bown, Managing Director of the Firm of William Bown
Limited, 308 Summer Lane, Birmingham in the County of Warwick, Engineers
and General Manufacturers, 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 has reference to that class of machines for clipping hair or other
like material or substance which are operated by means of one hand and a
spring or springs, the object of which is to enable such clippers to be more
easily operated without decreasing the power of the spring or springs which actuates
the return stroke of the cutter
In order that my invention may he more clearly understood I have annexed the
accompanying drawing illustrative of same.
A, A are the levers for operating the chipping machine
Formed out of or
connected to the inner side of the sand lever A is an inclined projection B and
secured to the other lever A¹ 1B a suitable spring C. The end a of the said
Spring C is provided with a steel or other suitable roller bor a steel ball or
equivalent, which said roller b when operating the clipper travells up and down the
inclined projection B. It will be easily understood that by the employment of

page_text: the means as above described the power required to operate the levels of the
said clipping machine is considerably decreased and the friction on the spring C
greatly reduced
I do not confine myself to an inclined projecting piece B as the same may be
parallel if desired but I prefer to form it as shewn and 1 cover the surface of the
said projecting piece B with a piece of hardened steel d.
Ilaving 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 [
claim is
-
Firstly. In a chipping machine as above described and shewn the sping C in
combination with the inclined projection B for the purpose substantially as herein
shewn and described.
Secondly The means substantially as herein shewn and described for enabling
the levers of chipping machines to be more easily operated.
Dated this 3rd day of July 1895.
