Abstract
A novelty knife for use for simulating impact includes a resilient blade formed of shape retentive material having a bottom edge and a fluid reservoir bulb mounted as a handle, wherein the fluid reservoir bulb includes fluid communication through a plurality of conduits directed through the blade and exiting along the blade's lower edge adjacent the blade's tip, with a fluid dye contained within the reservoir for ease of replenishment.
Claims3
A novelty knife, comprising,
- a resilient blade, the resilient blade having a top edge and a lower edge spaced from the top edge, wherein the top edge and the lower edge merge into a forward tip, the blade including a blade hilt flange fixedly mounted orthogonally relative to the resilient blade spaced from the forward tip, and
- a fluid reservoir bulb handle mounted to the blade hilt flange, with the bulb handle longitudinally aligned along a reservoir axis and the reservoir axis orthogonally oriented relative to the blade hilt flange, and
- the resilient blade including a first conduit and second conduit directed through the resilient blade in fluid communication with the bulb handle, and the first conduit and second conduit projecting through the blade, with the first conduit terminating in a first conduit outlet and the second conduit terminating in a second conduit outlet, with the first conduit outlet and second conduit outlet directed through the blade lower edge, with the first conduit outlet spaced from the forward tip and the second conduit outlet spaced from the first conduit outlet, and
- the bulb handle includes a reservoir fill conduit spaced from the hilt flange coaxially aligned along the axis, with the fill conduit including a fill conduit cap removably mounted relative to the fill conduit, and a fluid dye contained within the bulb handle, and
- the fill conduit cap includes a first cap plate and the fill conduit is externally threaded, the first cap plate including an internally threaded skirt securable to the fill conduit, and the first cap plate including a first aperture directed through the first cap plate, the first aperture spaced relative to the axis a predetermined spacing, and the first cap plate including a first cap plate groove mounted to the first cap plate projecting above the first cap plate, and a second cap plate, the second cap plate including a second cap plate skirt, with the second cap plate skirt received within the first cap plate groove to rotatably mount the second cap plate relative to the first cap plate and the first cap plate in contiguous communication with the second cap plate, and the second cap plate including a second cap plate aperture directed through the second cap plate axially spaced relative to the axis the predetermined spacing to selectively align the first aperture relative to the second aperture.
