PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Devices Employed in Cutting
Cardboard Mounts.
I, GEORGE HOWE BRADLEY, of 4, West Square, Scarborough, in the County of
York, Decorator, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved form of guide for the cutting tool
employed in the manufacture of sunk mounts, the said guide being either fixed
or adjustable at any angle, and combined with a gauge to regulate the size of
the mount.
To carry out my invention I employ two flat steel bars, which are fixed together
at their ends, but have a space between them in which a knife or other suitable
cutting tool can pass along in a straight line guided by the said bars. The lower
edges of both bars are hevelled. The ends of the bars are either fixed permanently
to uprights at each side of the cutting board, or they are each fixed to a plate
provided with a screw and winged nut whereby the bars or guides may be adjusted
at any angle by being screwed fast to the brackets at each side of the cutting
board. The cutting board upon which the bars or guides are fixed is screwed
or clamped to a table or work bench, and upon this board fences or ledges fixed
by screws working in slots are provided for steadying and gauging the card being
operated upon.
