DWIGHT \VHEELER, OF BRIDGEPORT, OONN., ASSIGNOR OF TXVO-THIRDS TO JOHN A. OROFUT AND DAVID 0. WHEELER, BOTH OF SAME PLACE.
SCISSORS AND SHEARS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,530, dated May 26, 1885.
Application filed July 15, 1884.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, DWIGHT WHEELER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fail-field and State of 5 Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scissors and Shears; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the IO art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to scissors and shears, and has for its object to simplify and cheapcn their construction. It is of course well un- I 5 derstood that the custom is, in all except the cheapest grades of goods, to plate both the blades and bows with either nickel or silver. In order to do this successfully and have the finished goods present a smooth and polished 23 appearance, it is necessary to grind or polish the entire surface of the shears upon emerywheels or in any suitable manner before plating, and to polish them after plating. This adds largely to the cost of production. The
2 5 cost of grinding or polishing the outside of the bows alone, simplyto prepare them for plating, amounting to between four and nine dollars per gross, depending upon the size and shape of the shears, in addition to which the o entire polished surface requires to be buffed or finished after plating.
I have experimented for considerable time for the purpose of discovering a style of finishing scissors and shears which would reduce 5 the cost of production and at the same time would produce an attractive article of commerce new to the trade. The result of my experiments has been the production of the novel and inexpensive shears which I will now proceed to describe, referring by letters to the ac companying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective illustrating the preferred form in which I carry out my inven- 4 5 tion as applied to ordinary work-table shears.
Fig. 2 represents a single shear-blade, illus- (No model.)
trating the application of my invention in a slightly-modified form.
A in both figures represents portions of the surface which have been ground, then plated, and then buffed in the ordinary manner.
B represents portions of the surface finished in my improved style, which is to cast certain parts roughly, preferably the exterior of the bows alone, plate those parts as they come 5 from the molds (the ordinary processes of cleaning the castings excepted)-that is, without grinding or polishing-after which they require no buifing or polishing whatever, but present a beautiful frosted appearance, which is much less expensive to produce than polished work, and which readily commands a higher price in the market.
In Fig. 1 the inside of the bows is shown as ground before plating, andpolished afterward, 6 5 while the outside is shown as cast rough and plated without grinding.
In Fig. 2 both the inside and outside of the bows is shown as cast rough and plated without polishing. 7c
I do not of courselimitmyself to any special style or design in the rough casting, as I may use lines, broken lines, hatching, fret-work, or stipple-work, as indicated in the drawings. Neither do I, on the other hand, make claim to the broad idea of electroplating upon a roughened surface, as I am well aware that this has been done prior to my invention; but,
Having fully described my invention, I claim 8c As a new manufacture, plated scissors or shears having portions of their surface ground smoothly before plating and polished after plating, and other portions cast witharoughened surface and left unpolished,whereby said 8 5 port-ions are given a frosted appearance.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
DIVIGHT YVHEELER.
