CHARLES K. PIOKLES, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR TO THE AMER- IOAN ROLL-PAPER COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

ROLL-PAPER HOLDER AND CUTTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 450,033, dated April 7, 1891.

Application filed May 28, 1888. Serial No. 275,391. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that 1, CHARLES K. PIoKLEs, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Roll-Paper Holders and Cutters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which Figure I is a front elevation of my improved machine. Fig. II is an end elevation. Fig. III is a detail section taken on line III III, Fig. I.

My invention relates to an improvement in machines for holding and cutting wrappingpaper; and my invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a pair of arms; one at each end of the roll 2, upon which the paper 3 is wound. The upper ends of the arms are slotted, as shown at a, Fig. II, to receive the journals 5 of the roller 2. Pivoted at 6 to the arms 1 are another pair of arms 7, one at each end of the roll 2. To the upper ends of the arms 7 is secured a knife, preferably of semicircular shape in cross-section, as shown in Fig. III, so that the end of the paper may be drawn out either above or beneath the knife and cut oif, and when out off the endremaining on the roll will spring away from the knife. The knife may also be provided with slots 9, (see Fig. 111,) through which the paper may be passed,if desired,instead of passing around the outside of the knife. As stated, the arms 1 and 7 at the respective ends of the roll of paper are pivoted together at 6, and each has a lower extension 10, which rests upon the support. As the paper is removed the weight of the roll keeps theknife against the paper, the roller moving toward the knife from the position shown in dotted lines, Fig. II, to the position shown in full lines, Fig. II. The lower extensions 10 of the arms at the respective ends of the machine move apart as the size of the roller decreases.

I do not herein claim a roll-paper holder and cutter having a knife held in position against the roll of paper by means of. the weight of the roll itself.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination of the roll, two arms pivoted together at each end of the roll and having lower extensions, upon which they are supported, one pair of the arms carrying said roll, and a knife secured to the other pair, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of the paper-roll, two arms pivoted together at each end of the roll, lower extensions, upon which the arms are supported, a knife secured to one pair of the arms, and slots in the upper ends of the other pair of the arms to receive the said roll, substantially as and for'the purpose set forth.

3. The combination of the roll having a support and a semicircular knife secured to the support and having slots 9, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

CHARLES K. PIOKLES.

In presence of- EDWD. S. KNIGHT, J 0s. WAHLE.
