Description
Technical field
A kind of method that the present invention relates to cigar cutter device and use this device cutting cigar.
Technical field of the present invention belongs to the device that Design and manufacture is suitable for before smoking cigar, cigar being cut into the cigar of different size and diameter.
Background technology
In prior art, there are a lot of known cigar cutter devices.First, there is such device, wherein two cutting knifes couple together, and forficulate blade is the same also hinged in a pivot place right-angled intersection that departs from their sharp knife edges, and the sharp knife edges of two blades is crooked to prevent that cigar slides between them in cutting operation slightly.
In addition, described such device in U.S. Patent No. 5937523, it comprises the blade of two not right-angled intersections, and blade is hinged so that the pivot of locating around their one end rotates.Described blade (suitable words) is pivoted on the inside of a rigid protective housing, and this protection housing has hole, for inserting a part for cut cigar.Then by device is placed in palm, a part for the described cigar of the outside cutting of non-sword of two blades of manual squeezing, blade does not produce moment of torsion on cigar.
There are some shortcomings in such device.First, utilize these device cigar can only be cut in a side, rather than the sharp knife edges by blade moves towards one another from the both sides of the circular cross-section of cigar and two sharp knife edges exert pressure to cut in antipodal region.As a result, cigar fell down and is squeezed broken before being cut, and according to its humidity, when especially its humidity is lower, this crowded broken result is that its wrapper (wrapper leaf) peels off and is torn.
In addition, utilize this cigar cutter device to be difficult to provide and guarantee the symmetrical toward each other also relative motion simultaneously of cutting blade.It is the reaction force of cigar blade that each some place that can not contact with cigar periphery at them on two blades manually keeps constant masterpiece.Therefore, the blade contacting compared with soft spots with cigar surface trends towards more easily penetrating, and does not need by another blade, to apply stronger power by any way and supplements to make cigar by the fitly cutting simultaneously of two blades.This makes, and cutting is more difficult and accuracy is lower.
In order to make up these shortcomings, " plug-in strip " formula device has been proposed, it can make at least two blades move simultaneously.
This device specifically describes in Japan Patent 9-289985 or French Patent (FRP) 2397796A.
In addition,, although can guarantee that the motion of two blades is whiles and synchronous, these equipment mechanisms are complicated and perishable, and they compare very expensive with the cigar cutter device that comprises scissors.
These " plug-in strip " formula devices generally include two blades or cutting knife, and described blade or cutting knife are engaged with each other and can be along the slideway connector translation comprising in the stiff case in the hole of inserting cigar.Blade or cutting knife have with respect to the traffic direction of the blade in housing to tilt or the sharp knife edges of band angle (particularly V-arrangement), and the hole of blade closure shell when blade moves along slideway, simultaneously with guillotine type cutting cigar.
Also there is some other shortcoming in this device.
First, the cigar cutting knife of this similar described device above can not make cigar with real neat, simultaneously and symmetrical mode cut, although be engaged with each other between described blade.
Be difficult to guarantee that two blades can really slide simultaneously and engage cigar when cutting diameter is less than the cigar of diameter in the hole in housing, this is to make its centre that is substantially positioned at hole owing to must a handgrip holding cigar, simultaneously with another hand actuating device to drive two blades to carry out cutting.In fact, the user of this device wishes that cigar peace leans against on the edge in hole of housing, to guarantee that cigar stably rests on it, and actuated blade then.As a result, cigar is cut into slices rather than is cut, and cigar and blade engage in both asynchronous also asymmetric modes, thereby cause cigar produce harmful shearing and it fallen down or squeeze broken.
In addition, another shortcoming of " plug-in strip " formula device is its structure, this structure makes cigar be attached by blade and inserts inside the access mechanism of housing when cigar is cut, it causes the accumulation along with the time, and cigar is accumulated and produced and blocks and device cannot be used in blade slide mechanism.
