Abstract
A cylindrical bottle cutter apparatuses, systems and methods of using the same comprise a hollow cylindrical body comprising a slot within which a slidable spring-loaded blade is positioned. A bottle is placed within the cylindrical body, and the blade is positioned in the slot at the desired height to circumferentially cut the bottle when the blade is pushed against the bottle and the bottle is rotated within the cylindrical body.
Claims17
A bottle cutting apparatus comprising:
- a cylindrical sleeve comprising a sidewall and a first end and a second end;
- a vertical slot within the side wall providing a passage from outside the sleeve to inside the sleeve;
- a slidable sled within the slot, wherein the slidable sled is configured to move up and down within the vertical slot;
- a tightening element on the sled configured to tighten the slidable sled in a position along the vertical slot;
- a shaft disposed through the slidable sled and the slot;
- a cutting blade on a terminal end of the shaft, wherein the cutting blade is configured to score a surface of a glass bottle disposed within the sleeve;
- a spring surrounding the shaft, wherein the spring is configured to bias the shaft away from the sleeve;
- and
- a magnet on the sled and magnetically engaged to the spring.
