PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Cheese Cutting Wires.
I, ALFRED SAUNDERS, of 48, Elder Street, London Road, Brighton, in the
County of Sussex, Grocer and Provision Merchant, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:
My invention has for its object to provide improved means for attaching
cheese cutting wires to the handles by means of which the said wires are operated,
whether such handles are arranged to slide, as in apparatus of the kind described
in the Specification of former Letters Patent granted to me No. 13705 of 1896,
or are simple handles adapte to be applied to the ordinary hand wires.
According to my invention a handle is provided with a hook and with a
tube or socket adapted to receive the end of the wire, the said tube or socket
being arranged in such relation to the hook that the wire when passed through
the hook and into the tube or socket will have in it a double bight or bend
which will prevent it from slipping.
In attaching a handle to a wire the end of the latter is first inserted into the
tube or socket and then the wire is bent back and pulled over the hook. If
additional security is required the wire may be twisted once around the hook.
If instead of the arrangement before described it is preferred to use a pair
of gripping jaws as described in the specification before referred to I preferably
form the outer jaw with a lip or projection which will prevent the wire from
slipping from between the jaws in a lateral direction.

Improvements in or connected with Cheese Cutting Wires.
I, ALFRED SAUNDERS, of 48, Elder Street, London Road, Brighton, in the
County of Sussex, Grocer and Provision Merchant, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
My invention has for its object to provide improved means for attaching
cheese cutting wires to the handles by means of which the said wires are operated,
whether such handles are arranged to slide, as in apparatus of the kind described
in the Specification of former Letters Patent granted to me No. 13705 of 1896,
or are simple handles adapted to be applied to the ordinary hand wires.
According to my invention a handle is provided with a hook and with a

page_text: tube or socket adapted to receive the end of the wire, the said tube or socket
being arranged in such relation to the hook that the wire when passed into
the tube or socket and through the hook will have in it a double bight or bend
which will prevent it from slipping.
In attaching a handle to a wire the end of the latter is first inserted into
the tube or socket and then the wire is bent back and pulled over the hook. If
additional security is required the wire may be twisted once around the hook.
If, instead of the arrangement before described, it is preferred to use a pair
of gripping jaws as described in my specification before referred to I preferably
form the outer jaw with a lip or projection which will prevent the wire from
slipping from between the jaws in a lateral direction.
To enable the invention to be fully understood I will describe it by reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
:-
Figure 1 is a front view of a handle having a hook and socket attachment
for the wire:
Figure 2 is a side view of the same; and
Figures and 4 are views similar to Figures 1 and 2 respectively shewing a
handle having gripping jaws for the attachment of the wire.
Figure 5 is a view illustrating a slightly modified construction of gripping
jaws.
Referring first to Figures 1 and 2 a is the handle, is the hook which is
rigidly secured thereto and is the tube or socket, the said socket being hinged
at its upper end at d to the underside of the handle a so that it is free to move
out laterally from the hook as shewn in broken lines in Figure 2. As will be
clearly seen from the drawing the socket e projects down from the handle a to
a greater distance than the hook b, the object being, as above described, to cause
the wire to have a double bight or bend to prevent it slipping from the hook
when placed in position.
With this construction of handle and attachment, the wire is secured thereto
in the following manner, that is to say, the socket c is moved away from the hook
so as to allow the the end of the wire to be passed therein as shewn in the broken
lines in Figure 2 and the wire is then passed over the hook 6 and pulley so as to
bring the socket up against the book as shewn in Figures 1 and 2, thus
securely fastening the wire to the hook by the double bight or bend which is
formed in it as it passes over the hook and down and up again into the socket.
Figures 3 and shew the improved arrangement where gripping jaws similar
to those described in my said former specification are employed; in this arrange-
ment the handle has pivoted to its lower end at e the jaw f having a hole fi
at its lower part into which the end of the wire is inserted and having pivoted
to it the outer jaw h. My improvement consists in forming the lip i upon the
said outer jaw h so as to retain the wire gripped between the jaws and prevent
its escaping or slipping in a lateral direction. In cases where soft wire is to be
gripped I advantageously form upon the jaw f a drop or step so as to provide
a tooth or projection against which the jaw h holds the wire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The described means for attaching cheese cutting wires to the handles thereof,
such means comprising a hook and tube or socket depending from the said
handle, the said tube or socket being arranged in such relation to the hook that
the wire, when passed into the lower end of the socket and bent over the hook,
will have a double bight or bend, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. In handles for cheese cutting wires of the kind wherein gripping jaws are
pivoted upon the said handle, providing the outer jaw with a lip, substantially
as, and for the purpose, hereinbefore described.
3. In handles for cheese cutting wires of the kind wherein jaws, such as are

page_text: claimed in the preceding claiming clause, are used providing the jaw f with a
tooth or projection f, substantially as herein before described and illustrated.
4. Handles for cheese cutting wires, constructed substantially as hereinbefore
dèscribed and illustrated respectively in Figures 1 and 2 and 3 4 and 5 of the
accompanying drawing.
