Beit known that we, DANIEL PETERS and J. W. PAULY, of 'Keokuk, in the county of Lee,- and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful improvement in Whitening Curriers Slicker; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of our improved slickcr, part of the handle being broken away to show thc construction ofthe various parts. l y r Figure 2 is a cross-section ofthe same, taken through the line :c fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

Ourinvention has for its object to improve 'the construction of Daniel Peters and W. D. Wilsons slicker, patented April 19, 1864, and numbered 42,397; and it consists, first, in forming the handle in two parts; second, in forming the blade with a slot; third, in the combination of the half-round friction wires and the metalliclined grooves with the blade and handle of the slicker; and fourth, in the combination of a friction bolt with the slotted blade and handle; the whole being constructed and arranged as hereinafter more fully described.`

A is the handle of the slicker, which is made in two parts, al and a2. The inner sides of these parts, or theinterior of the handle A, are hollowed out, as shown in fig. 2, so as to give the necessary play to the blade B, to enable it to take the required angle for doing the work properly. In the parts of the inner sides of the parts at]l and a2 that come nearest to the blade B, or which form the pivoting points of the blade, are formed grooves, a3 and a4, which are lined with metal, as shown in g. 2. b1 and 62 are half-round friction wires or rods, of such a size as to fit into themetallic-lined grooves as 'and a4, as shown iu iig. 2. These wiresbpand b2 are attached to the blade B by pins, passing through holes in the said half-round wires and in the blade, as shown in fig. 1. Other holes, b3, are made through the blade B, so that the position of the half-round wires upon the said blade may be changed when necessary. The blade B is also formed with a slot, b, through it, as shown in figs. 1 and 2. C is the friction bolt, which passes through the parts al and aie of the handle A, and through the slot b4 in the blade B, in such a position that the half-round friction wires b and b2 may rest against it when the instrument `is being used, as shown in figs. 1 and 2. The hcad'of the bolt C, and the nut into which it screws, are both letinto the sides ofthe handle A, as shown ing. 2, so that the outer sides of said handle mayV present a smooth surface. The bolt C also assists in holding the parts al and a2 ot" the handle A together at their centres, which would otherwise be nnsupported in that part. The parts a1 and a2 of the handle -A are held together by screws D, as shown in iig. 1.

Having tlfus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, s

1. Forming the handle A in two parts, a1 and a2, substantially as herein described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. Forming the blade B with a slot, b4, substantially as herein described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination of the half-round friction wires b1 and 112, and the metallic-lined grooves a3 anda, with the blade B and handle A, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

4. The combination of the friction and strengthening bolt C with the slotted blade B, and with the handle A, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.V i
