PROVISIO
CATION.
A New or Improved Instrument for Cutting or Dividing Carpet,
Leather, Cloth, and the like.
1, HENRY NICHOLAS QUICK, of Hamilton Auckland, New Zealand, Native Interpreter,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention refers to a new or improved revolving disc scissor or dividing
instrument for cutting or dividing carpeting linoleum, leather, cloth, paper and other
articles.
According to my invention 1 loosely mount a steel disc on a spindle or bolt fixed or
otherwise and which latter is carried by a metal fork-piece mounted in a suitable
handle.
One or more such discs may be carried by the spindle or bolt thus allowing one or
more parallel strips to be cut at one operation. The handle can either be pushed from
or drawn towards the operator, the sharpened cutting edge of the steel disc in either
case being pressed on and cutting the material with the greatest oase either in straight
or curved lines, and without cramping the fingers of the operator as is commonly the
case when using scissors as ordinarily constructed.
Dated this 12th day of November 1889.

L, HENRY NICHOLAS QUIOK of Hamilton, Auckland, New Zealand, Native Interpreter
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 refers to a new or improved revolving disc scissor or dividing
instrument.
According to my invention I loosely mount a steel disc on a spindle or bolt fixed
or otherwise and which latter is carried by a metal fork piece mounted in a suitablo
handle, and in order that my invention may be fully understood one example of such
a dividing instrument constructed according to my invention is shown in the
accompanying drawing.
A is the steel cutting disc, B the fork for carrying the bolt C on which latter the
disc A may be caused to revolve. The fork B is provided with a handle D which may
be of any convenient shape, that shown in the drawing being cylindrical, or it might
be conical as indicated by the dotted lines.
The steel discs A are sharpened by grinding or otherwise at the periphery and they
are drilled centrally and fitted revolvably upon the bolt C or the disc A may be fixed
upon a spindle which may then turn in the fork B.
The disc or cutter may for example vary in size from half an inch in diameter
upwards according to the purpose for which it is intended, and one or more of such
discs A may be carried by the spindle or bolt thus allowing one or more parallel strips
to be cut at one operation. The handle D can either be pushed from or drawn towards the
operator, the sharpened cutting edge of the steel disc A in either case being pressed
on and cutting the material with the greatest case either in straight or curved lines

leather, cloth, paper and other articlos.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The revolving disc scissor, consisting of the rotative cutting disc or discs A, fork B,
bolt or spindlo C and handlo D in combination as set forth.
