Definitions

  • the subject of this invention is a knife with a retractable blade ("cutter") adapted to work in particular conditions, such as hostile environments where a direct grip of the tool is impossible.
  • a retractable blade knife is known from the document US-A-4,683,656 .
  • the invention was designed to obviate these various disadvantages. It relates to an improved knife of the kind indicated, which allows a fairly easy handling even in difficult conditions, and also good security.
  • a knife comprising a sheath, a handle attached behind the sheath, and a blade sliding in the sheath so as to retract completely into the sheath or protrude from the front of the sheath, characterized in that it comprises a system for actuating the blade consisting of a trigger movable under the handle and a rod connecting the trigger to the blade, and a gripping bar articulated to the sheath.
  • the operator grasps the knife with one hand by the handle and the other hand by the gripping bar. He therefore has both hands to move the knife and push on him during work, which maintains a sufficient dexterity even if he has to work the arms extended through a glove box or act on a remote handling arm.
  • the control of the blade is adjusted by a tightening movement of the hand holding the handle, without having to move it along the knife with the risk of also moving the knife from the position reached. A stable gripping of the knife is thus obtained without interruption during all the work.
  • the trigger comprises a return spring for automatically retracting the blade, as soon as the trigger is released, without the operator having to do more than open the hand.
  • the actuation system advantageously comprises a safety latch which holds the blade retracted except when the latch is moved.
  • An abutment on the actuating system can limit the stroke movement of the blade.
  • an additional means of protection can be added. It is a beak joined to the sheath by a hinge located above the blade and which includes a veil located in front of the blade and two cheeks extending in front of the opposite sides of the blade, the veil and the cheeks extending over the blade.
  • the spout covers the blade from the front but rises from the height necessary when the knife is lowered on a piece to be cut, so that the beak does not prevent the work of the blade from below the knife.
  • the body of the knife comprises a sheath 1 at the front and a handle 2 at the back, which are screwed together.
  • a blade 3 of ordinary kind, with an oblique front edge comprising a tip 4 is housed in the sheath 1 and slides therein.
  • the sheath 1 comprises a removable cowling 5 which makes it possible to form an opening therein in order to access the blade 3 and to replace it.
  • a window 6 is established through the cowling 5 to make a portion of the blade 3 apparent in all circumstances in order to check its position with that of a cleat 7 or another marker.
  • a tab 8 To the sheath 1 is fixed a tab 8 to which is articulated a bar 9 gripping by an axis 10 whose direction is transverse.
  • the tab 8 and the bar 9 extend above the sheath 1 and the handle 2.
  • the bar 9 is articulated to the axis 10 at an angle of 0 ° to 180 ° relative to the sheath 1 and the sleeve 2.
  • the knife further comprises a trigger 11 extending under the handle 2, through a day thereof, and which is articulated to it by a transverse axis 12 at the front.
  • a trigger 11 By grasping the handle 2, the operator has the faculty to push the trigger 11 by shaking hands.
  • a rod 14 is articulated to the trigger 11 by its rear end and to the blade 3 by its front end.
  • the rod 14 slides forward and drives the blade 3 to extend its end out of the sheath 1.
  • the blade 3 is retracted.
  • a lock opposes movement except when it is moved. It consists of a rod 16 passing through the sheath 1 and ending on a push button 17 at its upper end, above the sheath 1.
  • the rod 16 comprises a thick portion 18 and a thin portion 19 above the previous one .
  • it passes through a groove 20 of the rod 14 which comprises a wide portion 21 at the front and a portion narrow 22 at the back.
  • the rod 16 passes through the groove 20 to the thick portion 18, which is fitted to the wide portion 21 of the groove 20 and blocks the rod 14; but when the button 17 is pushed back, the rod 16 passes through the rod 14 to the thin portion 19, which is fitted to the narrow portion 22 of the groove 20, whose length is much greater than that of the wide portion 21, allowing to the rod 14 to slide.
  • the hinge pin 23 at the rear of the rod 14 can serve as a stop moving from one end to the other of a recess 24 established in the handle 2.
  • a spout 26 is disposed in front of the sheath 1, to which it is articulated by a pivot axis 27 transverse to the upper part of the sheath 1.
  • the spout 26 comprises, after a lever 28, a protective portion comprising an anterior web 29 and two lateral cheeks.
  • the tip 4 extends between the cheeks 30 which cover it and extend above it, as well as the veil 29.
  • the spout 26 pushed by the piece 31 pivots upwards to slightly release the blade 3 and allow the tip 4 to touch the piece 31 to complete the work.
  • a torsion spring 32 established around the axis 27 brings back the spout 26 in the closed position; he appears at the figure 3 .
