Technical field of the present invention belongs to design and manufacturing is suitable for smoking the device that cigar cuts into cigar the cigar of different size and diameter before.
Background technology
A lot of known cigar cutter devices are arranged in the prior art.At first; There is such device; Wherein two cutting knifes couple together, and forficulate blade is the same as a pivot place right-angled intersection that departs from their sharp knife edges and hinged, and the sharp knife edges of two blades is crooked slightly to prevent that cigar slides in cutting operation between them.
In addition, in United States Patent(USP) No. 5937523, described such device, it comprises the blade of two not right-angled intersections, and promptly blade is hinged so that around their pivoted at an end place.Said blade (suitable words) is pivoted on the inside of a rigid protective housing, and this protection housing has the hole, is used to insert the part with the cigar that is cut.Then through device is placed in the palm, the part of the said cigar of the outside cutting of the non-sword of two blades of manual compression, blade does not produce moment of torsion on cigar.
There are some shortcomings in such device.At first, utilize these device cigar to be cut, rather than the sharp knife edges through blade move towards one another and two sharp knife edges are exerted pressure in antipodal zone cuts from the both sides of the circular cross-section of cigar in a side.As a result, cigar falls down before be cut and is squeezed brokenly, and according to its humidity, when especially its humidity was low, this to squeeze broken result be that its wrapper (wrapper leaf) peels off and torn.
In addition, utilize this cigar cutter device to be difficult to provide and guarantee cutting blade symmetry and relative motion simultaneously toward each other.Can not be on two blades manually keeping constant masterpiece at them and contacted each some place of cigar periphery is the reaction force of cigar blade.Therefore, trend towards penetrating more easily than the contacted blade of soft spots, do not need to apply stronger power by another blade by any way and replenish so that make cigar by the cutting fitly simultaneously of two blades with the cigar surface.This make cut more difficulty and accuracy lower.
In order to remedy 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, are whiles and synchronous although can guarantee the motion of two blades, 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 said blade or cutting knife are engaged with each other and can be along the slideway connector translation in the stiff case that comprises the hole of inserting cigar.Blade or cutting knife have with respect to the traffic direction of the blade in the housing to tilt or the sharp knife edges of band angle (particularly V-arrangement), when the hole of blade blade closure shell when slideway moves, simultaneously with guillotine type cutting cigar.
Also there is some other shortcoming in this device.
At first, this similar above the cigar cutting knife of said device can not make cigar with real neat, simultaneously and symmetrical manner be cut, although be engaged with each other between the said blade.
Be difficult to guarantee that two blades can really slide simultaneously during less than the cigar of the diameter in the hole in the housing and engage cigar at cutting diameter; This is to make its centre that is positioned at the hole basically owing to must a handgrip hold cigar, and the while is carried out cutting with another hand actuating device so that drive two blades.In fact, the user of this device hopes that cigar peace leans against on the one edge in hole of housing, stably rests on it so that guarantee cigar, then actuated blade.As a result, cigar is cut into slices rather than is cut, and cigar and blade engage with both asynchronous also asymmetric modes, thereby causes cigar is produced harmful shearing and it is fallen down or squeezes broken.
In addition; Another shortcoming of " plug-in strip " formula device is its structure; This structure makes cigar attached and the inside and the access mechanism of insertion housing by blade when cigar is cut; It causes the accumulation along with the time, and cigar is accumulated in the blade slide mechanism and produced obstruction and device can't be used.
