Abstract
A knife including a housing and a blade carrier, in which a blade can be fastened and which is movable in the housing between a safety position in which the blade carrier is arranged in a rear position such that the blade does not project beyond protective components formed by the housing and at least one cutting position in which the blade projects beyond the protective components. A spring mechanism is arranged between the housing and the blade carrier and loads the blade carrier into the safety position. The blade carrier includes first locking element releasably engageable with second locking element on the housing to lock the blade carrier in at least one safety position and/or in at least one cutting position.
Claims14
A knife, comprising:
- a housing;
- a blade carrier, in which a blade is fastenable, the blade carrier being movable in the housing between a safety position in which the blade carrier is arranged in a rear position so that the blade does not project beyond the housing and at least one cutting position in which the blade projects beyond the housing;
- and a spring mechanism arranged between the housing and the blade carrier so as to load the blade carrier into the safety position, wherein the blade carrier comprises first locking means releasably engageable with second locking means on the housing to lock the blade carrier in the safety position and/or the at least one cutting position, further comprising an actuator, wherein the housing comprises a slot-like lateral opening that extends parallel to a direction of movement of the blade carrier, wherein the second locking means are arranged adjacent to the lateral opening and offset in the direction of movement of the blade carrier.
A knife, comprising:
- a housing;
- a blade carrier, in which a blade is fastenable, the blade carrier being movable in the housing between a safety position in which the blade carrier is arranged in a rear position so that the blade does not project beyond the housing and at least one cutting position in which the blade projects beyond the housing;
- and a spring mechanism arranged between the housing and the blade carrier so as to load the blade carrier into the safety position, wherein the blade carrier comprises first locking means releasably engageable with second locking means on the housing to lock the blade carrier in the safety position and/or the at least one cutting position, wherein the first locking means includes at least one latch movable between a latch position and a release position, wherein the latch is guided on a curved path.
A knife, comprising:
- a housing;
- a blade carrier, in which a blade is fastenable, the blade carrier being movable in the housing between a safety position in which the blade carrier is arranged in a rear position so that the blade does not project beyond the housing and at least one cutting position in which the blade projects beyond the housing;
- and a spring mechanism arranged between the housing and the blade carrier so as to load the blade carrier into the safety position, wherein the blade carrier comprises first locking means releasably engageable with second locking means on the housing to lock the blade carrier in the safety position and/or the at least one cutting position, further comprising a securing device configured to lock the first locking means.
