Abstract

A tube cutting device with a rapid separable handle comprises a tube cutter and a handle. The tube cutter comprises a C-shaped housing, a one-way rotation part, and a limit part. The handle comprises a grip part, a C-shaped guiding seat, a separation control part, and a control button. The C-shaped guiding seat is for unidirectional rotation of the C-shaped housing via the one-way rotation part. In a combination position, it engages with the limit part so that the tube cutter and the handle are mutually fixed. In a separation position, it is separated from the limit part so that the tube cutter and the handle are separable from each other for independently perform tube cutting. Therefore, this invention has advantages of the handle being separable from or combinable with the tube cutter as needed, and quick, easy and convenient switch between different usage modes of the tube cutting device.

Dependent claims

A tube cutting device with a rapid separable handle, comprising:

a tube cutter, comprising a C-shaped housing, a first recess space, a one-way rotation part, and a limit part;
and
a handle, comprising:
a grip part;
a C-shaped guiding seat located at the grip part for guiding unidirectional rotation of the C-shaped housing via the one-way rotation part;
a separation control part disposed at the grip part and capable of switching between a combination position and a separation position, when located in the combination position, the separation control part engaging with the limit part so that the tube cutter and the handle are mutually fixed to each other, when located in the separation position, the separation control part and the limit part being retracted away from each other so that the tube cutter and the handle are separated away from each other to independently perform tube cutting;
a control button disposed at the grip part and used to control the separation control part to switch between the combination position and the separation position;
and
a second recess space corresponding to the first recess space.
