JOSEPH TRAFFORD, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
BOTTLE-WIRE CUTTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 729,241, dated May 26, 1903.
Application filed March 13,1902. Serial No. 98,076. (No model.)
To aZZ whont it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH TRAFFORD,a subj ect of King Edward VII, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in BottleJVire Cutters, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a cheap, simple, durable, and powerful bottlewire cutter, whereby the wire holding the cork in a bottle may be quickly and easily severed at the portion thereof which surrounds the neck of the bottle, so that after said wire is severed the .part surrounding the neck of the bottle and also the part extending over the cork therefrom may be easily removed, leavin g the cork free to be detached from the bottle and leaving the bottle entirely free from the wire. 7
The invention consists of a device of the character described comprising a handle, a cutter-bladefast thereto adapted to engage the portion of a bottle-wire encircling the neck of a bottle, and a fulcrum-blade fast to said handle and adapted to bear against the neck of said bottle for the purpose specified.
The invention again consists in a bottlewire cutter comprising a handle terminating in two fulcrum-blades adapted to bear against the neck of a bottle and a cutter-blade fastened therebetween and adapted to engage the portion of a bottle-wire encircling the neck of said bottle, whereby when the wire is 'severed, as hereinafter described, at the portion which encircles the neck of the bottle said wire may be entirely removed from the neck of said bottle.
The invention still further consists in the combination and arrangement of parts set forth in the following specification and particularly pointed out in the claims thereof.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved bottle-wire cutter, showing the same in position ready to sever a wire upon the neck of a bottle. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, the bottle shown in section. Fig. 3 is a plan View of a modified form of bottle-wire cutter. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the modified form illustrated in Fig. 3.
Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
In the drawings, 6 is my improved bottle= wire on tter, formed, preferably, of sheet metal and comprising a handle 7, terminating in two fulcrum-blades S 9, extending laterally and downwardly from said handle and having the ends 10 10 thereof concaved in order that they may easily come to a bearing upon the necks of different-sized bottles.
The cutter-blade 11 is fastened by rivets 12 12 between the fulcrum-blades 8 9 and is pointed and curved upwardly, forming a hook at its outer end, being provided with a cutting edge 13 upon the upper side thereof, with which to sever the wire 14, extending around the neck of the bottle 15.
The operation of my improved bottle-wire cutter is as follows: The pointed end of the eutter-blade 11 is inserted beneath the portion of the wire 14 which encircles the neck of the bottle 15, and the handle is then depressed until the ends 10 10 of the fulcrum-blades 8 9 rest against the neck of the bottle, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. By pressing downwardly upon the handle 7 it will be seen that the ends 10 of the blades 8 9, which bear against the bottle, will constitute a fulcrum upon which the handle and the cutter-blade will tip as a cen ter, forcing the cutting edge 13 of the cutter blade 11 outwardly and downwardly from the bottle and severing the portion of the wire 14 which encircles the neck of the bottle 15. The fulcrum-blades 8 9 being diverged laterally, as shown in Fig. 2, from the cutterblade give a firm bearing for the instrument upon the neck of the bottle,preventing any tendency to slip or turn sidewise while the wire is being cut, and the downwardly-projecting form of the fulcrum-blades 8 9 causes the cutting edge at the point of the cutter 11 to move downwardly as well as outwardly when the handle is depressed, thus making sure of severing the wire with great ease and safety.
In Figs. 3 and 4: I have illustrated a modification of my improved bottle-wire cutter in which the handle 16, formed of sheet metal, terminates in two ends, one of which consti tutes a cutter-blade 17, the other a fulcrum blade 18. The fulcrum-blade 18 is concaved upon its edge in order to get a bearing upon the neck of a bottle, and the sides of the handle 16 are joined together by rivets 19 and a plate 20. The operation of this form of my invention is substantially the same as the form illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, except that the fulcrum-blade 18 is single instead of double, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
It will be seen that in the use of my improved bottle-Wire cutter the wire encircling the neck of the bottle is cut apart by the cutter-blade 11, and thus the entire wire may be removed from the bottle by lifting the same upwardly after the part encircling the neck has been cut, as hereinbefore described. This leaves the cork and the bottle entirely free from the wire, so that the cork may be removed with a corkscrew or by the pressure of the gas Within the bottle, and the bottle will then be entirely free of the wire.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire by Letters Patent to secure, is
1. As an article of manufacture, a bottlewire cutter comprising a handle terminating in a fulcrum-blade, the end of which is adapted to bear against the neck of a bottle, and a cutting-blade having a cutting edge upon its upper side curved upwardly and forming a hook adapted to engage the portion of abottlewire which encircles the neck of a bottle, said cutter-blade fastened rigidly to said fulcrumblade and handle.
2. As an article of manufacture, a bottlewire cutter comprising a handle terminating in two fulcrum-blades provided with ends adapted to bear against the neck of a bottle,
and a cutter-blade having a cutting edge upon its upper side adapted to engage the portion of the bottle-wire which encircles the neck of a bottle, said cutter-blade fastened rigidly between said fulcrum-blades.
3. As an article of manufacture, a bottlewire cutter comprising a handle terminating in two fulcrum-blades, provided with concave ends adapted to bear against the neck of a bottle, and a cutter-blade having a cutting edge upon its upper side adapted to engage the portion of a bottle-wire which encircles the neck of a bottle, said cutter-blade fastened rigidly between said fulcrum-blades.
4. As an article of manufacture, a bottlewire cutter comprising a handle terminating in two fulcrum-blades extending laterally and downwardly from said handle and adapted to engage the periphery of the neck of a bottle,
and a hooked cutter-blade rigidly fastened between said fulcrum-blades, provided with a cutting edge upon its upper side extending upwardly from said fulcrum-blades and adapted to engage the portion of a bottle-wire which encircles the neck of a bottle,
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOSEPH TRAFFORD.
