Dual retractable seam ripper

A dual blade retractable seam ripper comprising:

• a round tubular housing having two bulbous ends, one said end having a major centrally located blade extension opening formed therein, the other end having a minor centrally located blade extension opening formed therein;
• a longitudinally extending control slot being formed in the round tubular housing extending a major portion of the length of said round tubular housing;
• a one-piece injection molded locking mechanism comprising a blade holding-slide block, a control button, a leaf spring, and a locking pin disposed within said round tubular housing, said blade holding-slide block having a major seam ripping blade support portion and a minor seam ripping blade support portion, one end of said leaf spring being attached to said one of said seam ripping blade support portions, a control button being carried upon a medial portion of said leaf spring, and the other end portion of said leaf spring being cantilevered, said locking pin being formed beneath said leaf spring proximate said control button, said locking pin extending laterally beyond said leaf spring perpendicular to said longitudinally extending control slot, said control button projecting through said control slot and movable therein;
• three locking depressions being formed in the interior surface of said round tubular housing and recessed within said round tubular housing at three positions adjacent said control slot, said locking depressions selectably engageable with said locking pin as said control button is moved in said control slot, and dis-engageable therefrom when said control button is pressed inwardly against the action of said leaf spring;
• a major seam ripper blade carried by said major seam ripping blade support portion and projectable through said major blade extension opening formed in said one end;
• and
• a minor seam ripping blade being carried by said minor seam ripping blade support portion and projectable through said minor blade extension opening in said other end.
