CUE-TIP CUTTER.
Application filed November 21, 1921.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, Joint D. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rock Island, in the county of Rock Island and State of Illinois, have invented certa n new and useful Improvements in Cue-Tip Cutters, of which the following is a specliication.
My invention pertains to cue-tip cutters, and aims to provide a simple mechanism whereby the ends of billiard cues can be renewed, and provided with a perfectly true surface, at right angles with the axis of the one. It consists of an instrument adapted to receive the tip end of a cue, and a cutting blade by means of which a portion of the end of the cue can be shaved off, upon the cue being rotated.
In the drawings;
Fig. 1 is a top end View of the invention.
Fig. 2 shows the same in side elevation.
Fig. 3 is a lower end view thereof.
Fig. 4 is a detail of the block 7.
1 is a casing, preferably formed of sheet metal, and of a modified triangular form in cross-section, to one end of which is pivoted, as at a, a cutter 2, having a blade 3. Fixed to the end of the casing is a plate 4 having a threaded perforation in which is operable a thumb-screw 5, having a ball-and-socket connection with the cutter 2, as at b. The free end of the cutter is movable in a guide 6, also fixed to the end of the casing.
A block 7 is held within the casing, by means of a thumb-screw 8, turning in a tapped opening in a plate 9, secured to the casing 1. The block 7 is provided with a plate 10, having a key-hole slot 11, in which is held a button (not shown) on the inner end of the screw 8. On the opposite side the block 7 has an angular recess 12, between which and the curved portion 13 of the casing the end of a one may be held, as indicated by a circle at 14.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 1, 1922.
Serial No. 516,530.
By operation of the screw 8 the block 7 is caused to embrace the end of the cue snugly, but not so tightly as to prevent the rotation thereof. IVhen in this position, with the end of the cue against the cutter 2, such cutter is moved by the screw 5 until the edge of the biade is on a line with the axis of the cue. By then giving a rotatory movement to the cue, any inequalities or uneven portions of the end thereof will be shaved off. The cutter 2 being established at a right angle with the walls ofthe casing 1, the resulting cut made by the blade must of news sity be at right angles with the axis of the one.
It will be noted that the adjustment of the block 7 by means of the screw 8 will enable the tool to be used with cues of varying diameters, and that the adjustment feature of the cutter makes it possible to set the same for one tips of different diameters.
The device is of suitable size and shape to be held in the hand of the operator, and it is specially adapted for use in billiard and pool halls, where the tips are frequently being required to be replaced and renewed.
IVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
A. device of the class described, comprising a casing, open at both ends; a cutter pivoted at one end of said casing, in a plane at right angles with the walls of said casing; a thumb-screw supported on the end of said casing and operatively connected with said cutter, to cause a movement there of transversely of the end of the casing; a guide for the free end of said knife, fixed on the end of said casing; a clamp-block held within said casing, so as to be movable therein, transversely of the casing; and means for transverse adjustment of said block.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
JOHN D. MARTIN.
