Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a cutter equipped with a blade which can automatically retract as soon as said blade is no longer in contact with the object to be cut (see for example US-A-6,044,562).
  • a cutter generally includes a housing in which can slide a blade, fixed on a blade holder, which can take two positions, a first so-called out position, in which the blade projects outside the housing, and a second so-called retracted position, in which the blade is disposed fully inside the housing.
  • the blade holder translates into a slide formed in the housing, and includes notches which allow to maintain said blade holder, and therefore the blade, in a determined position.
  • a first improvement consists in providing at the level of the blade holder means for recalling in the retracted position.
  • the blade holder includes a cursor that can be translated by the user's thumb to remove the blade or keep it in the extended position. So as soon as the user releases the cursor, the recall means bring back blade automatically in the retracted position.
  • the user To cut an object with a cutter, the user must exercise a relatively large effort towards the object to be cut, and prints a cutting movement with the cutter directed towards itself. Also, at the end of the cutting, when the cutter ceases to be in contact with the object, the control of the cutter can escape the user, so that the cutter, and more particularly the blade, may come into contact with part of the body of the user and cut it, without the latter having the reflex to release the slider so that the blade retracts.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of cutters of the prior art by proposing a reliable, safe cutter, equipped with a blade which is automatically retracts when said blade is no longer in contact with the object to be cut.
  • the invention relates to a cutter comprising a housing and a blade which can take two positions, a first so-called extended position, in which the blade protrudes outside the housing, and a second so-called retracted position, in which the blade is disposed entirely at the interior of the housing, characterized in that it comprises a blade holder on which the blade is attached, a magazine on which said blade holder is slidably mounted removably mounted inside the housing and a mounted slider sliding on the housing so as to drive said blade forward forwards to place the blade in the cutting position, said blade holders and push-slider being returned to the retracted position, at rest, using return springs, and in that means are provided for securing the push-button and the blade holder for putting the blade in said first position, said means being separated by a combined action of rotation-extraction of the blade holder relative to the push cursor, following the cutting action.
  • said means of realization detachable consist of a drive finger integral with said push cursor, the end of which is provided with a support notch a projection integral with the blade holder, said notch and projection being offset laterally in the rest position, retracted, slider and blade holder, set in alignment and in engagement from the start of the movement of the push cursor and uncoupled as soon as the blade is in cutting action, so that said notch is no longer on the return path of the projection during the blade holder retraction.
  • a cutter with a retractable safety blade is thus obtained. in that the blade is already put in the retraction position automatic, as soon as traction is exerted on the cutter to achieve cutting, the retraction taking place automatically as soon as the blade leaves or escapes the object or element that has just been cut, without having to exert any action on the push-button.
  • a cutter comprising a housing 2 forming a handle of generally elliptical cross section, inside which houses a magazine 3 carrying, on the one hand, a blade holder 4 and, on the other hand, a set 5 of replacement blades of conventional trapezoidal shape.
  • the blade holder 4 is slidably mounted in the magazine 3 at the front of this last in the distal part of the case 2 which is open at its end for leave the passage, through a rectangular slot, at the end of the blade 6 carried by the blade holder 4, when the cutter is in the cutting position ( Figures 13, 14).
  • the blade holder 4 is moved using a push cursor 7 comprising ( Figure 9) a slider 7a mounted sliding on the housing 2 in its half-part front and a drive finger 7b directed towards the front of the cutter and arranged ( Figures 8 and 10) between one of the sides of the magazine assembly 3-blade holder 4 and the internal flank facing the housing 2.
  • a push cursor 7 comprising ( Figure 9) a slider 7a mounted sliding on the housing 2 in its half-part front and a drive finger 7b directed towards the front of the cutter and arranged ( Figures 8 and 10) between one of the sides of the magazine assembly 3-blade holder 4 and the internal flank facing the housing 2.
  • the cursor 7 is returned to its rest position ( Figures 1, 2, 11) by a spring 8 anchored at 9 on the slider 7 and at 10 on the magazine 3.
  • the blade holder 4 is returned to its rest position illustrated by the Figures 3 and 11 by a spring 11 anchored at 12 on the blade holder 4 and at 13 on the store 3.
  • the drive finger 7b slides along a flat internal face 14 of case 2 and meets, practically as soon as the cursor 7a leaves its position rest when pushed forward, a small inclined ramp 15 (figure 2) which will laterally offset the end of the finger 7b towards the inside of the housing 2 in the direction of a projection 16 (FIGS. 5 and 7) formed laterally at blade holder 4.
  • the finger 7b is provided with a V17 notch of shape corresponding to said projection 16.
  • the retraction of the blade 6 entirely in the housing 2 is carried out therefore automatically, without having to act on the cursor 7a and, this, as soon as one ceases to exert traction on the blade 6 to cut the element or object to be cut.
  • the blade holder 4 is replaced in the position at the same height of the projection 16 and the notch 17 by a return tilting provided by the wall inclined 3a of the magazine 3 which acts by straightening the rear edge 4a of the blade holder 4.
  • the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment represented and described above but on the contrary covers all the variants thereof, especially with regard to the means for driving towards the front of the blade holder by the cursor, these means being disconnected when the blade is in traction, that is to say in cutting action.
