Copyright will exist in the 'industrial' design of the Jacobs Hobber.

A redrawing will not infringe the drawing copyright but it will infringe the copyright in the mechanical design (which is different from aesthetic 'design rights' which apply to non-functional aspects of a design).

You could try asking the question on the website copyrightaid.co.uk.

The first post on the site, 'Clarification request please', explains the 25 year rule that John Haine refers to. It's more complicated than you think.

Neil, that would count as "unregistered design rights" I think (assuming that the design was not registered) which expire after 15 years.
