Cutting device with retractable blade and safety features

A cutting device, comprising:

• a housing comprising a bottom portion having an internal surface formed with one or more walls protruding upward from the internal surface;
• a cutting assembly retained within the housing and slidable between a retracted position and an extended position, the cutting assembly comprising,
• a body member, and
• an actuating member, wherein the actuating member is pressable between a first position and a second position, the second position being defined by the actuating member being pressed toward the internal surface of the bottom portion;
• and
• a blocking surface formed by a portion of the one or more walls of the internal surface, wherein the actuating member abuts with the blocking surface to block the cutting assembly from moving to the retracted position when the body member is in the extended position and the actuating member is pressed to the second position.

A cutting device, comprising:

• a cutting assembly slidable between a retracted position and an extended position, the cutting assembly comprising,
• a body member, and
• an actuating member having one or more actuating member protrusions extending from a lateral edge of the actuating member, wherein the actuating member is pressable between an outward position and an inward position relative to the body member, the inward position being defined by the actuating member being pressed closer to the body member relative to the outward position;
• and
• a housing configured to slidably retain the cutting assembly, the housing comprising,
• a top portion configured to receive the actuating member, wherein the one or more actuating member protrusions extend under an inner surface of the top portion and over a top surface of the body member, and
• a bottom portion formed with one or more walls that block the cutting assembly from moving to the retracted position by abutting with the one or more actuating member protrusions when the body member is in the extended position and the actuating member is pressed to the inward position.
