Abstract
A kit, apparatus, and system for cutting an object. An arm is coupled to a cutting device, defining a cutting edge, to be resiliently rotatable away from the cutting edge. The arm is biased in an open position. In the open position, the arm is angled away from the cutting edge to define, between the cutting edge and the arm, an expandable opening that is suitable to receive the object and to expand by pushing of the object on to the arm to rotate the arm away from the cutting edge as the object is drawn into the opening to urge the object against the cutting edge.
Claims87
A system for cutting an object, comprising:
- a cutting device defining a cutting edge;
- and
- an arm coupled to the cutting device to be resiliently rotatable away from the cutting edge and biased in an open position, the arm being angled away from the cutting edge in the open position to define, between the cutting edge and the arm, an expandable opening that is suitable to receive the object and to expand by pushing of the object on to the arm to rotate the arm away from the cutting edge as the object is drawn into the opening to urge the object against the cutting edge.
An apparatus for cutting an object using a cutting device defining a cutting edge, comprising:
- an arm;
- and
- a coupler coupled to the arm and suitable to be mounted to the cutting device to allow resilient rotation of the arm away from the cutting edge and to bias the arm in an open position, the coupler configured to angle the arm away from the cutting edge in the open position to define, between the cutting edge and the arm, an expandable opening that is suitable to receive the object and to expand by pushing of the object on to the arm to rotate the arm away from the cutting edge as the object is drawn into the opening to urge the object against the cutting edge.
A kit for cutting an object using a cutting device defining a cutting edge, comprising:
- an arm;
- and
- a coupler to couple the arm to the cutting device to allow resilient rotation of the arm away from the cutting edge and to bias the arm in an open position when the arm is coupled to the cutting device via the coupler, the coupler configured to angle the arm away from the cutting edge in the open position to define, between the cutting edge and the arm, an expandable opening that is suitable to receive the object and to expand by pushing of the object on to the arm to rotate the arm away from the cutting edge as the object is drawn into the opening to urge the object against the cutting edge.
An apparatus for cutting an object using a cutting device defining a cutting edge, comprising:
- an arm;
- and
- a means for mounting the arm to the cutting device to allow resilient rotation of the arm away from the cutting edge and to bias the arm in an open position, wherein the arm is angled away from the cutting edge in the open position to define, between the cutting edge and the arm, an expandable opening that is suitable to receive the object, and the arm rotates away from the cutting edge as the object is drawn into the opening to expand the opening and to urge the object against the cutting edge.
