(Cl, ZIG-S'I 7 Claims.
The present invention relates to knife sharpeners and it relates more particularly toa new' andj improved knife Sharpener' ofthe s'o-called rotary disc type.
An object of the present inventionis to provide a simple, inexpensive and efcient vknife Sharpener. Another object of the presentinvention is to provide a Sharpener of the rotaryl disc type which can be manufactured from inexpensive materials and with simple operations, to give an efficient, safe, attractive and low cost product for household use or the like.
@ther objects and advantages of the. present invention are` apparent inthe following detailed description, appended claims. and. accompanying drawings.
For the purpose of illustrating the. invention, there are, shown in the accompanying drawings forms thereof which are at. present preferred,A although it isto be,- understood that the various instrumentalities of which the inventionconsists can be variouslyarranged and organized and that the: invention is' not limited to the precise arrangements and organizations of the instru mentalities asv hereiny shown and described.
Referring to the accompanyingdrawings in which` like reference characters indicate like. parts throughout:v

Figure 9 represents a perspective View of a modified form of therotary-disc-and base assem- 2, bly as it appears when removed from the housing.
Figure 1'1= represents aside view of the modied form of sharpeningdisc shownin. Figures 9 and 10.
Figure 12 represents: ay view in cross-section on thel line |f2|2 of the modied form oi' sharpening discv shown inV Figure l1.
Figure 13 represents a view' in cross-section on the plane, of the axis of.' the modi-lied" discs shown in Figures 9-12 disclosing portions of the discs, the washers, and the support therefor.
In one embodiment shown generally in Figures 1 toy 6 ofthe drawings, I may provide a housing; Ifllr which may be integrally formed of molded synthetic plastic', or the like, appropriatelyv coiored during the molding operation. The, housing |0 is formed with a recess or cham-ber H- which is open atA the bottom and which is generally closed attt'he top, except for a slot or opening |2 whose function will be hereinafterl described.` Chamber Iviv includes two small cavities A handle |-3 is formed integrallywiththe housing lll.y and a grooved thumb-rest. I4 is provided onl the topof the housing I0 intermediatethe slot I2 and the handle I3.
A plurality of centrally aperturedV sharpening discs i5.,` of hardened tool Steel or the likey are ro.- tatablymountedr upon a pair of spaced shafts lli and alternately with smaller-diametered spacer-washers I8.
The ends of the shafts I6 and I1 are mounted in semicircular notches i9 provided at the upper edges of the sides, 2B. A pair of generally outwarding extending flanges 2| are formed integrally with thel base 22v of a support 23.
The. support 23' can be stamped out of sheet metal, as shown in Figure 6, and can be provided with fold-lines '2l-Av intermediate. the base 22. and the sides 2U. The. flanges 2| extend latf es 3# therein adjacent theA sides of the anges 21|-, These notches 34 insure that the flanges 2| do notv abutl the faces of the sides 2U` when the sides 2U have been folded about the fold-lines- 2f|'-A'.
Figure 2. The flanges 2l are thus located in the cavities I I-A.
A pair of generally U-shaped shoulders 2B are l integrally formed on the sides "of `the-chamberr II of the housing I; each shoulderl26 extending on both sides of the slot I2.
The knifeto vbe sharpened yis grasped :in rvthe other hand andthe. edge of the knife is inserted within thefslot IZ .and is` placed against the vides a loose cantable mounting for the sharpening discs whereby they are free to rotate in Wobbling overlapping relationship so as to present the edges of the discs at acute cutting angles to the knife edge being sharpened upon movement of the knife edge along the plane of intersection of the sharpening discs. It is apparent that the housing I0 covers and conceals the greater part of the sharpening discs; only a relatively narrow upper overlapping zone being exposed.
The slot I2, in addition to exposing the sharpening zone of the discs, also acts as a guide and a guard for the knife edge being sharpened; the generally upright sides of the slot extending appreciably above the sharpening Zone of the discs and preventing the knife blade from accidentally shifting laterally during the sharpening movements thereof.
It is apparent thatthe housing fully conceals thev sharpening discs-'except at the sharpening zone. This protects the discs from dirt and water and also prevents accidental injury to the hands ofthe user.
In 'Figures 7 and 8,'the1je is shown another embodiment of the present invention which generallyresembles that of- Figures l to 6 except that the housing lll-a is not provided vwith a handle or thumb-rest and', instead is intended to be more or less permanently fastened to a supporting surface or wall. As shown, particularly inFigure 8, the housing III-a. may be provided, adjacent vits loweredge.' with corner eyelets 3| of metal or thelike through which screws 32 can be passed to fasten the housing to alsupporting'wall 33. l f v The operation of the embodiment of Figures 7 and8 is similar to that described'hereinabovefin connection with the embodiment of vligu're'sr 1 to 6; the vknife edge being placed within the slot I2 and against the line'of convergence of the discs I5 and moved 4laterally togive a'sharpening actionI y 1 In Figures 9 through 12, there is shown a second' enibodiment of the present invention Whi'chalso generally resembles that'of Figures l to 6 except that thev sharpening discs' I5-,A
i have aring-shaped portion YIii- B of relatively cn f discs I5 at theirline of intersection. The knife is then drawn Yfirmly through the] slot I2 so thattheedge passes across ,the edgesof the discs I5. A
lAs caribe seen from Figures 3 and 4, the discs I5 and the washers I8Y are lmounted upon vthe shafts-|6- and I1 with` slight .clearances therebetween so that, asthe knife edge moves across thediscs I5, they aretilted somewhatandare rotated to provide proper sharpening action, as Y the central openings in the discs and the washers are slightly oversize relative to the shafts, prolarge diameter projecting fromone surface thereof and a ring-shaped portion It- Cof relatively small diameter projecting fromy the oppositeY surface.A Y Y l This construction permits al1 but two of `the spacer-washers V tobe Ldispensed with.v This is accomplishedby assembling thesharpening discs I5-A with two portions I5-B abutting one another and two 4portions I5--C abutting one another alternately. This causes the sharpening discs to be-spacedand not nested. Between one end of a pilevof sharpening discs-I-Al and a side 20, `awasher I8-A abutting portion- I5-B, isemployed. At the opposite end of the other pile of discs lli-A, a washer I8-A, abutting the portion ISK-C is located. These washers Ill-A are theon-ly two employed in this modification. The sharpening discs- I5-A are spacedelsewhere by the projecting portions l5--B and I5-C which abut inl pairs and Athus keepthe discs IE- A apart. Y f
The novel knife Sharpener of thejpresent -inventioncan be-quickly, easily and inexpensively manufactured-and'assembled. v
Thus, the housing I0 (or III-a) can be formed 'of anysuitable synthetic resin or plastic in a single moldingoperation. Y
The support 2-3 can be stamped 'out of: sheet metal in a single stamping operation and the flanges 2l can be readily bent up-along the foldlines -'-d shown in Figure 6. I I
r1`hey sharpening discs l5, the washers l8 and the metal shafts Iii and Il are standard parts which are read-ily procurabler The assembling of the knife Sharpener requires only the mounting of the discs and Washers upon the shafts, thek positioning of the shafts upon the notches I9' of the base` anges 2l, the insertion of the support 23 (together with: the discs, etc.) within the chamber Il, and the fastening of the screws 25.
It is. evident, therefore', that the novel knife Sharpener of the presen-t invention can: beI manufactured withV a minimum cost vin labor and materials.
Thus, the presentinvention provides asimple, low cost knife sharper-1er Y which,v at the. same time, is durable and efficient in operation.
The embodiment of Figures l to 6 permits the knife Sharpener to be stored out of the way in drawer or the like and to be taken out when needed.
The novel placement of the handle i3 and the grooved thumb rest I4 permit the hat bottom of the Sharpener to be held firmly against a supporting surface or wall to prevent accidental slipping or movement of the knife Sharpener when is use.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential vattributes thereof, and it is therefore desired that the present embodiments be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being had to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing-description to indicate the scope of the invention.
