PHILIP B. LANG, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

CUTTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 7, 1908.

Application filed April 15. 1907. Serial No. 368.306.

1 o all whom it may concern:

Be it knownrthat I, PHILIP B. LANG, aeitizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cutters, of

i which theL following is a specification, referholder, whereby it can be removed, sharpened or renewed.

The detail construction of myim roved cutter -Will be hereinafter more fu ly described and then specil'icallypointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing forming part of this specification, like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cutter illustrating the same as carried by a digit of a hand, Fig. 2 is an end view ol the-same, Fig; V3 is a cross sectional view through the blade holder of the cutter, Fig. 4 is a developed view of the cutter, Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of cutter blade.

Vbetween the lugs 5 by screws 8 or similar fasteningmeans.

The outer end of the rearward extension B is bent upwardly, as at 9, whereby when the strip 1 is bent to form a ring or band to slipA upon the finger of a hand, the finger will not be injured by the sharp edge oft e rear extension 3.

In Fig. 1 of the drawings, I have illustrated the ends of the strip 1 as being overlapped and soldered, as at 10, to form the ring or band, while in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings, the ends of the strip of metal 1 simply confront one another, it being optional with the manufacturer of the cutter as to how the ends ofthe strip 1 are secured or disposed.

I have also illustrated in Fig. 5, another form of blade 7 that can be secured ina-he holder or lugs 5, the blade being provide with a V-shaped cutting notch 11 in which the twine or cord to be severed is placed. In using the blade 7 illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawing, the cord or twine is simply severed by pulling the twine against the sharp cutting edge of the blade, this form of blade being more simple and more easily sharpened than the blade 7a.

My improved cutter is particularly designed for packers, uphoslterers, seamstresses4 and persons having considerable twine, cord or thread to cut.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is -1. A cutter of the type described consisting of a ring or band having forward and rearward extensions, said rearward extension being cut and sheared to provide upwardly extending lugs or holders, a blade.

detachably mounted between said lugs, said forward extension being bent upwardly to provide a shield for said blade.

2. A cutter consisting of a band or ring having extensions, a blade detachably mounted upon one of said extensions, theother of said extensions being bent upwardly to shield said blade.

3. In a twine cutter, an annular band having a forwardly projecting and a rearwardly projecting extension and with spaced lugs extending therefrom, ablade mounted in said lugs, said forwardly projecting extension having an upwardly-curved forward end and forming a shield in advance of the blade.

In testimony whereof I alix my signa ture in the presence of two witnesses.
