Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a knife sharpener, especially to an attachable knife sharpener for both knife sharpening and scissor sharpening.
  • the cutting edges of cutting tools such as knives or scissors become blunt and a knife sharpening is required to make them work well.
  • a blade of the knife/scissors is sharpened by grinding against a whetstone.
  • the whetstone is too heavy and having difficult storage. While in use, users have to hold the whetstone for fixing and they may nick themselves even their hands are safely positioned.
  • the knife or the scissors sharpened is gently inclined in such a manner that their cutting edge is touching the whetstone and their blade is adjusted to be placed on the whetstone at a certain angle.
  • the shortcomings of using the whetstone include difficulty in control of the angle of incline between the blade and the sharpening stone, and a risk of cutting hands/fingers.
  • an attachable knife sharpener that includes a knife sharpening base with an attachment device on one end and a knife sharpening part on the other end.
  • the knife sharpening part is disposed with vertical sharpening blades and a horizontal sharpening blade.
  • the knife sharpening base is fixed quickly by the attachment device. Both sides of a knife are sharpened by the vertical sharpening blades and a single side of scissors is sharpened by the horizontal sharpening blade.
  • the optimal knife sharpening effect is achieved due to effective and quick fixing of the knife sharpening base and designs of the vertical and horizontal sharpening blades.
  • the attachable knife sharpener is with better effect and wider applications.
  • an attachable knife sharpener of the present invention includes a knife sharpening base with an attachment device on one end and a knife sharpening part on the other end.
  • the attachment device consists of a suction cup, a connecting rod, an elastic part and an operating handle. Two ends of the connecting rod that penetrates the knife sharpening base are respectively connected to the suction cup and the operating handle.
  • the elastic part is arranged against the suction cup and the knife sharpening base.
  • a vertical sharpening slot, a horizontal sharpening slot and an inclined opening above the horizontal sharpening slot are mounted on the knife sharpening base.
  • the vertical sharpening slot is close to the attachment device and is disposed with two cross vertical sharpening blades.
  • the horizontal sharpening slot is arranged away from the attachment device.
  • a knife sharpening body is set in the horizontal sharpening slot and is composed of a horizontal sharpening blade, a limiting member and a stopper.
  • the horizontal sharpening blade is pressed by the limiting member to be fixed on the horizontal sharpening slot.
  • the horizontal sharpening blade is inclined and is arranged at the horizontal sharpening slot.
  • the horizontal sharpening blade includes a sharpening surface extending from the horizontal sharpening slot.
  • the stopper is covered over the horizontal sharpening slot and is having a leaning part extending toward the sharpening surface.
  • a cover with an insertion hole is threaded on the knife sharpening part of the knife sharpening base.
  • the knife sharpening body and vertical sharpening blades are clamped and fixed by the cover. The insertion hole allows the vertical sharpening blades passing through to be exposed.
  • an attachable knife sharpener includes a knife sharpening base 10, a knife sharpening body 20 and a cover 30.
  • An attachment device 11 is disposed on one end of the knife sharpening base 10 and a knife sharpening part 12 is formed on the other end of the knife sharpening base 10.
  • the attachment device 11 consists of a suction cup 111, a connecting rod 112, an elastic part 113 and an operating handle 114.
  • the connecting rod 112 is passed through the knife sharpening base 10 and two ends of the connecting rod 112 are respectively connected to the suction cup 111 and the operating handle 114.
  • the elastic part 113 is arranged between the suction cup 111 and the knife sharpening base 10.
  • the knife sharpening part 12 is composed of a vertical sharpening slot 121, a horizontal sharpening slot 122 and an inclined opening 123 above the horizontal sharpening slot 122.
  • the vertical sharpening slot 121 is arranged near the attachment device 11 and is disposed with two cross vertical sharpening blades 13 while the horizontal sharpening slot 122 is arranged away from the attachment device 11.
  • the knife sharpening body 20 is arranged at the horizontal sharpening slot 122 and is composed of a horizontal sharpening blade 21, a limiting member 22 and a stopper 23.
  • the horizontal sharpening blade 21 is pressed by limiting member 22 to be arranged slantingly and fixed on the horizontal sharpening slot 122, as shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the horizontal sharpening blade 21 includes a sharpening surface 211 extending from the horizontal sharpening slot 122.
  • the stopper 23 is disposed over the horizontal sharpening slot 122 and is having a leaning part 231 extending toward the sharpening surface 211.
  • the sharpening surface 211 of the horizontal sharpening blade 21 and the leaning part 231 of the stopper 23 are exposed from the inclined opening 123.
  • the stopper 23 is made from metal and the leaning part 231 thereof is used to be against by the end of scissors without being sharpened so as to control sharpening positions of the scissors and reduce abrasion of the cover.
  • the cover 30 it is threaded on the knife sharpening part 12 of the knife sharpening base 10 and is used to clamp both the knife sharpening body 20 and the vertical sharpening blades 13.
  • An insertion hole 31 is provided on the cover 30, allowing the vertical sharpening blades 13 exposed.
  • the attachment device 11 is used to fix the knife sharpening base 10 quickly.
  • the vertical sharpening blades 13 are for sharpening both sides of knives while the horizontal sharpening blade 21 is used to sharpen a single side of scissors.
  • the attachable knife sharpener of the present invention has wider applications.
  • the attachment device 11 is arranged at one end of the knife sharpening base 10 by the connecting rod 112 penetrating through the knife sharpening base 10.
  • One end of the connecting rod 112 is disposed with the elastic part 113 and the suction cup 111 for fixing while the other end of the connecting rod 112 is pivotally connected to the operating handle 114.
  • the cross vertical sharpening blades 13 are mounted into the vertical sharpening slot 121 of the knife sharpening part 12 and the knife sharpening body 20 is arranged at the horizontal sharpening slot 122.
  • the horizontal sharpening blade 21 of the knife sharpening body 20 is inclined and mounted into the horizontal sharpening slot 122, allowing the sharpening surface 211 of the horizontal sharpening blade 21 extending from the inclined opening 123 of the knife sharpening base 10.
  • the limiting member 22 is set into the horizontal sharpening slot 122 for pressing and limiting the horizontal sharpening blade 21.
  • the stopper 23 it is covered on the horizontal sharpening slot 122.
  • the leaning part 231 of the stopper 23 is extended toward the sharpening surface 211 of the horizontal sharpening blade 21.
  • a knife sharpening space is formed by the sharpening surface 211 and the leaning part 231.
  • the cover 30 is threaded on the knife sharpening part 12 of the knife sharpening base 10 to fix the knife sharpening body 20.
  • the vertical sharpening blades 13 are extended from the insertion hole 31.
  • the knife sharpening base 10 is fixed on a flat surface by the attachment device 11.
  • the flat surface can be a desk surface, a wall surface, a surface on closets, a surface of refrigerators, etc.
  • the attachment device 11 is against any of the flat surfaces by means of the suction cup 111.
  • the operating handle 114 is pulled to push against the knife sharpening base 10 and move the connecting rod 112. Then the suction cup 111 is pressed against the flat surface by the connecting rod 112. Thereby the knife sharpening base 10 is fixed quickly due to pressure difference the atmosphere outside the suction cup 111 and a cavity in the suction cup 111.
  • a blade (A1) of the knife (A) is directly placed between the two vertical sharpening blades 13 of the knife sharpening base 10. Due to cross arrangement of the vertical sharpening blades 13 to form an angle whose shape is similar to the shape of the blade (A1), the knife (A) is moved back and forth to be sharpened directly in a vertical state. Thereby both sides of the knife (A) are sharpened and users don't need to find out the ideal angle between the knife (A) and the vertical sharpening blades 13. Moreover, refer to Fig.
  • both the sharpening surface 211 of the horizontal sharpening blade 21 and the leaning part 231 of the stopper 23 are arranged at the inclined opening 123 of the knife sharpening base 10.
  • the attachable knife sharpener of the present invention has following advantages:
