Abstract
According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a cutting tool, in particular for severing planar materials, such as paper, cardboard, films, strips, and mats, as well as bands, ropes, and similar material, comprising a gripping area and a tool head (23), wherein a guide channel (24) is formed between guide surfaces (25a, 25b) of the tool head (23), wherein the material to be cut can be fed to the cutting edge (S) of a blade (15) only through the guide channel (24). The invention is characterized in that the blade (15) can be moved between a safety position, in which a cutting edge (S) of the blade (15) is protected by a cover so as to be inaccessible to a user, and a cutting position, in which the cutting edge (S) is accessible only through the guide channel (24).
Claims15
A cutting tool for severing flat materials, the cutting tool comprising a grip and a tool head, a guide notch being formed between guide faces of the tool head such that the material to be cut can be guided to a cutting edge of the blade only through the guide notch, wherein the blade can be moved between a safety position in which a cutting edge of the blade is inaccessibly protected for a user by a cover, and a cutting position in which the cutting edge is exposed in a guide notch.
A cutting tool for severing flat materials, the cutting tool comprising a grip and a tool head, a guide notch being formed between guide faces of the tool head such that the material to be cut can be guided to a cutting edge of the blade only through the guide notch, wherein a blade protector can be switched between a safety position in which the blade protector is moved over a cutting edge of the blade, the cutting edge being at least partially in the guide notch, such that cutting edge is inaccessibly unengageable with a user, and a cutting position in which the blade protector is removed from the cutting edge such that cutting can be effected.
A cutting tool comprising:
- a casing extending along an axis and having a head formed with a laterally open notch;
- a support axially shiftable in the casing relative to the notch;
- and
- a blade having a cutting edge, fitted to the support, and shiftable with the support between a forward cutting position with the cutting edge extending across the notch, and a rearward safety position with the cutting edge retracted into the casing and not exposed in the notch.
