Abstract
A pocket knife includes a chassis, a surface defined by the chassis, and a blade having a retracted position in which the blade is locked inside of the chassis and a deployed position in which at least a portion of the blade is locked outside of the chassis. An actuator is slidingly engaged with the chassis to reposition the blade between the retracted and deployed positions. A stop pin is connected to the blade. An end of the stop pin extends a predetermined distance from the blade to engage with the surface defined by the chassis when the blade is in the deployed position to prevent movement of the blade with respect to the chassis.
Claims19
A pocket knife, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a surface defined by the chassis;
- a blade having a fully retracted position in which the blade is inside of the chassis and a fully deployed position in which at least a portion of the blade is outside of the chassis;
- an actuator slidingly engaged with the chassis and configured to reposition the blade between the fully retracted and fully deployed positions;
- a stop pin connected to the blade;
- and
- an end of the stop pin extends a predetermined distance from the blade to engage with the surface defined by the chassis when the blade is in the fully deployed position to prevent movement of the blade with respect to the chassis.
