- ROBERT HAMILTON LOVE, OF ALLEN, TEXAS.
CUTTIN.G-NIPPE R S,
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 646,294, dated March 27, 1900;
Application filed July 29, 1899, Serial No. 725,493. (No model)T all zwhoim it imay concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT HAMILTON
LOVE, a citizen of the United States, residing
at.Allen, in the county ofCollin and State of
5 Texas, have invented certain new and useful
Improvements in Cutting-Nippers; and I do
hereby declare that the following is a full
clear, and exact description of the same, ref-
erence being had to the annexed drawings,
io making a part of this specification, and to
the letters of reference marked thereon.
The present invention has relation to cut=
ting-nippers and it consists in certain details
of construction, substantially as shown in
15 the drawings and hereinafter described and
claimed.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a side elevation
with one of.the jaws partly in section, show-
ing a pair of cutting-nippers constructed in
2b accordance with my invention; Fig. 2, an end
view of the two jaws, showing the cutters;
Fig. 3, a perspective view, on an enlarged
scale, of one of the cutters; Fig. 4, a similar
view showing a modification of the cutter.
2S In the accompanying drawings, A B repre-
sent the two jaws of the cutting-nippers, piv-
oted at a in any suitable manner, the two
jaws having the usual lever-handles C D, re-
spectively. The jawA upon its outer edge may
30 be provided with a solid or hollow punch E
and on the opposite jaw B, directly on line with
the punch, with a hammer-head F of any suit-
able construction. The cutters G H may be
eitherformed integral with the jaws or formed
35 separately and afterward secured thereto by
screws, or any other suitable and well-known
means may be employed for this purpose.
This tool, although capable of many uses, is
particularly adapted for inserting and clench-
4o ing rivets either in leather or other like ma-
terial, the punch E first being forced through
the material and the rivet inserted in the hole
made thereby and driven through it by the
hammer-head F. The bur or washer is slipped
45 over the point of the rivet and the cutters
upon the jaws of the nippers used to cut off
the projecting end thereof, after which thehammer-head is again used to clench the end
of said rivet, thereby greatly facilitating the
setting of rivets and burs or washers by a 56
hand-tool. When used for setting the old=
style rivet without point, the punch E may
be constructed hollow or tubular in the usual
manner of belt-punches, the manner of con-
structing the h mner-head and the punch 55
being capable of various modifications with-
out departing from the principle of my in-
vention.
The cutters are provided with stationary
gages b, which project very slightly beyond 6o
the cutting edge of the blade to prevent the
two cutting edges coming in contact with each
other when cutting and hammering, thereby
serving the double purpose of gages and fens
ders, the gages preventing the rivet from be- 65
ing cut too close up to the bur or washer, and
thereby leaving a sufficient material of the
rivet to be clenched after it has been cut.
The projecting end of the rivet after being
cut will be a length equal to the distance be- 7o
tween the cutting edge of the blade and the
outer edge of the gage, as indicated at c. The
gage b may extend upon one side of the cut-
ting-blade, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings,
or on both sides, as shown in Fig. 4, such 7.5
modification not affecting the essential fea-
ture of the cutter.
Having now fully described my invention,
what I claim as new, and desire to secure by
Letters Patent, is- 80
A cutting-nippers provided with cutters
having stationarygages extending out beyond
the sides of the cutting-blade and very slightly
above the cutting edge to form both gages
and fenders, substantially as and for the pur- 85
pose specified.
In testimony that I claim the above I have
hereunto subscribed my name in the presence
of two witnesses.
ROBERT HAMILTON LOVE.
