Definitions
- This invention relates to a knife cover for protecting the blade of a knife.
- a knife cover shaped generally as a pocket into which the blade of a knife may be pushed in its longitudinal direction, in other words with the sharp point ahead.
- the width of the pocket is dimensioned to match the size of the blade such that the blade is supported substantially over its entire side surfaces by the side walls of the knife cover.
- the knife cover encloses the blade and prevents a user handling the knife from accidentally touching the cutting edge of the knife.
- a problem with the above-mentioned knife cover is that the blade of the knife needs to be removed from the knife cover on certain occasions, such as when the knife is washed. Therefore, on certain occasions the knife cover needs to be removed, though the knife is not used for cutting.
- An object of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawback and to provide a knife cover which can be used on a blade of a knife practically always when the knife is not in use. This object is achieved with a knife cover according to independent claim 1.
- the knife cover according to independent claim 1 makes it possible to support the knife in the frame while simultaneously substantially the entire surface area of the blade of the knife is accessible both from the first side of the knife cover and the second side of the knife cover.
- the knife can be kept in the knife cover practically always when the knife is not used for cutting, also while the knife is being washed. Therefore the sharp edge of the knife can be efficiently prevented from coming into contact with metallic objects that might otherwise make the knife dull during storage or washing, for instance.
- the user of the knife can be even more efficiently protected from cutting wounds, as the time periods during which the knife cannot be kept in the knife cover are minimized.
- Figures 1 to 4 illustrate a first embodiment of a knife cover 1.
- Figure 1 illustrates a knife cover 1 with a knife 2 in the knife cover.
- Figure 2 is a side view from a first side of the knife cover 1
- Figure 3 is a bottom view of the knife cover 3
- Figure 4 is a side view of a second side of the knife cover 1.
- the illustrated knife cover comprises a frame 3 shaped as a closed loop defining on an inside a hole 4 for receiving a blade 5 of a knife 2.
- the hole extends from a first side surface 6 of the frame 3 to an opposite second side surface 7 of the frame 3.
- the blade 5 is received in a position where the edges of the blade 5 are directed towards the frame 3 surrounding the blade, as illustrated in Figure 1 .
- the blade 5 is thereby completely received in a space limited by a plane along the first side surface 6 of the frame, by a plane along the second side surface 7 of the frame 3 and by the frame 3 itself.
- the shape of the frame matches the shape of the edges of the blade such that the frame 3 extends all the way along the edges of the blade 5, but at a distance from the edges of the blade 5 such that a small gap is located between the frame 3 and the edges of the blade 5 practically all the way around the blade.
- a first end of the knife cover 1 is provided with a lock 8 having a recess 9 in the first side surface 6 of the frame 1.
- This recess receives a handle 10 of the knife 2 such that the handle 10 can be detachably and reattachably attached to the frame 3.
- detachably and reattachably attached refers to a locking solution which makes it possible to release the handle from the frame and, after this, to attach the handle again to the frame by means of the lock 8. Consequently, no part of the lock needs to be destroyed or broken in order to remove the knife from the knife cover, and therefore the same lock parts may be utilized several times to attach the handle to the frame.
- the lock 8 may be implemented in different ways.
- the handle 10 of the knife 2 partly protrudes into the loop defined by the frame 3. A part of the handle 10 is therefore located in the recess 9.
- the lock 8 comprises a latch 11 which is attached to the frame 3 in the vicinity of the recess. The latch is movable between a locking position, where the latch 11 overlaps and contacts the knife 2 received in the knife cover 1 and presses the handle 10 of the knife 2 towards the recess 9 in the first side surface 6 of frame 3, and a releasing position where the latch 11 does not overlap or contact the knife.
- the latch 11 is rotatably attached to the first side surface 6 of the frame 3 via a pivot 12, which allows the latch to be moved by rotating it between the locking position and the releasing position.
- a pivot 12 allows the latch to be moved by rotating it between the locking position and the releasing position.
- the knife cover 3 is provided at a second end 15 with side supports 13 and 14 protruding from the frame 3 in a direction where they partly cover the hole 4 defined by the frame for supporting opposite side surfaces of the knife blade 5 arranged in the hole 4 defined by the frame 3.
- these side supports protrude across the hole 4 from the lower part of the frame 3 in Figure 2 to the upper part of the frame in Figure 2 .
- sufficient support for the blade may be accomplished by one or more side supports that do not extend all the way across the hole 4.
- the knife cover comprises only one side support 13 and 14 on each side of the knife blade.
- the side supports in case more than one side support is utilized on each side of the knife blade, attention should be drawn to designing the side supports in such a way that substantially the entire surface area of the blade will be accessible from both sides of the knife cover to ensure easy and efficient cleaning of the knife blade.
- the knife may easily be arranged in the knife cover by first pushing the sharp tip of the blade 5 lengthwise between the side supports 13 and 14 from the side of the first side surface 6, and then by pushing the handle 10 sideways toward the recess 9.
- more than one side support is arranged on either side of the blade 5, then preferably they should all be arranged such that the one or more side supports 13 arranged closer to the first side surface 6 are all located further away from the lock 8 than the one or more side supports 14 arranged closer to the second side surface 7.
- the side support 14 provided closer to the second surface 7 is provided with a relatively large plane element, which is provided with an arrow illustrating where the user should pass the sharp tip of the blade between the side supports while arranging a knife in the knife cover.
- a large plane element with an arrow is not necessary in all embodiments.
- the blade 5 remains securely within the frame 3 such that a user cannot accidentally come into contact with the sharp cutting edge of the blade.
- the attachment becomes even more secure in case the frame 3 comprises, on both sides of the recess 9, handle support sections 16 on an inner surface of the frame 3, which inner surface extends between the first 6 and the second side surfaces 7.
- These handle support sections 16 face and support the handle 10 of the knife 1 arranged in the knife cover 1.
- the handle support sections 16 are shaped to match as exactly as possible the shape of the corresponding part of the handle 10 that they contact, and the mutual distance between the handle support sections 16 facing each other is equal to or slightly smaller than the corresponding distance between the parts of the handle 10 that the handle support sections 16 contact. Therefore the handle 10 is practically clamped between the handle support sections 16 that are facing each other on the opposite sides of the handle 10.
- the knife cover is substantially free of obstacles preventing access to the hole 4, and therefore substantially the entire surface of the blade 5 of the knife 1 is accessible from both the first side of the knife cover and the second side of the knife cover.
- the side supports 13 and 14 cover parts of the knife blade 5 when the knife cover is viewed from the side, as in Figure 1 .
- the distance between the side supports 13 and 14 may be larger than the thickness of the knife blade 5. Therefore also the parts of the knife blade covered by the side supports as seen in a side view are accessible by a washing liquid, for instance, while the knife and the knife cover are washed.
- the knife cover of Figures 1 to 4 may be used on a knife practically all the time that the knife in question is not used for cutting. This includes during washing of the knife, such as in a washing machine, during drying of the knife and during storing of the knife.
- Figures 5 and 6 illustrate a second embodiment of a knife cover.
- the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6 is very similar to the one explained in connection with Figures 1 to 4 , and therefore the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6 will mainly be explained by pointing out the differences between these embodiments.
- Figure 5 illustrates a side view of a knife cover 1'
- Figure 6 illustrates a cross section of the knife cover 1' along line A - A in Figure 5 as well as of a knife handle.
- the lock 8' does not comprise a latch. Instead the width W of the recess 9' is equal to or smaller than the width of the handle 10 of a knife that is arranged in the knife cover similarly to Figure 1 . Friction between the sides of the recess 9' and the handle 10 therefore attaches the handle to the frame 3' of the knife cover. Additionally, if the handle 10 has an elastic surface layer, the surface layer may be slightly compressed when the handle is pushed into the recess. Such compression increases the frictional forces attaching the handle to the knife cover.
- Figure 7 illustrates a third embodiment of a knife cover.
- the embodiment of Figure 7 is very similar to the one explained in connection with Figures 5 and 6 , and therefore the embodiment of Figure 7 will mainly be explained by pointing out the differences between these embodiments.
- Figure 7 illustrates in cross section the frame 3" at the recess 9" and a handle 10 arranged in the recess 9".
- the recess comprises a section in the vicinity of the first surface 6" where the width W1 of the recess 9" is smaller than the width W2 in a section closer to the second side surface 7".
- the handle 10 of a knife may be attached to the frame 3" with a snap attachment, as the material of the handle and/or frame is slightly compressed where the width is smaller, and after this the material is allowed to return to its original dimension.
- the section with the smaller width W1 keeps the handle 10 firmly in the recess 9".

Description
- This invention relates to a knife cover for protecting the blade of a knife.
- Previously there is known a knife cover shaped generally as a pocket into which the blade of a knife may be pushed in its longitudinal direction, in other words with the sharp point ahead. The width of the pocket is dimensioned to match the size of the blade such that the blade is supported substantially over its entire side surfaces by the side walls of the knife cover. In this way the knife cover encloses the blade and prevents a user handling the knife from accidentally touching the cutting edge of the knife. A problem with the above-mentioned knife cover is that the blade of the knife needs to be removed from the knife cover on certain occasions, such as when the knife is washed. Therefore, on certain occasions the knife cover needs to be removed, though the knife is not used for cutting.
- Previously there is also known from
US - A - 4 587 735 a knife guard with a plurality of elongated members which are hinged together and biased toward a blade protective position. The blade of the knife is revealed without detaching the knife guard by pivoting the elongated members into a position where the blade protrudes out of the knife guard through a slit in the knife guard. It is, however, not practical in all situations to have the knife guard hanging from the knife during use of the knife. - An object of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawback and to provide a knife cover which can be used on a blade of a knife practically always when the knife is not in use. This object is achieved with a knife cover according to
independent claim 1. - The knife cover according to
independent claim 1 makes it possible to support the knife in the frame while simultaneously substantially the entire surface area of the blade of the knife is accessible both from the first side of the knife cover and the second side of the knife cover. In this way, the knife can be kept in the knife cover practically always when the knife is not used for cutting, also while the knife is being washed. Therefore the sharp edge of the knife can be efficiently prevented from coming into contact with metallic objects that might otherwise make the knife dull during storage or washing, for instance. Additionally, also the user of the knife can be even more efficiently protected from cutting wounds, as the time periods during which the knife cannot be kept in the knife cover are minimized. - Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
- In the following the present invention will be described in closer detail by way of example and with reference to the attached drawings, in which
-
Figures 1 to 4 illustrate a first embodiment of a knife cover, -
Figures 5 and 6 illustrate a second embodiment of a knife cover, and -
Figure 7 illustrates a third embodiment of a knife cover. -
Figures 1 to 4 illustrate a first embodiment of aknife cover 1.Figure 1 illustrates aknife cover 1 with aknife 2 in the knife cover.Figure 2 is a side view from a first side of theknife cover 1,Figure 3 is a bottom view of theknife cover 3, andFigure 4 is a side view of a second side of theknife cover 1. - The illustrated knife cover comprises a
frame 3 shaped as a closed loop defining on an inside ahole 4 for receiving ablade 5 of aknife 2. The hole extends from afirst side surface 6 of theframe 3 to an opposite second side surface 7 of theframe 3. Theblade 5 is received in a position where the edges of theblade 5 are directed towards theframe 3 surrounding the blade, as illustrated inFigure 1 . Theblade 5 is thereby completely received in a space limited by a plane along thefirst side surface 6 of the frame, by a plane along the second side surface 7 of theframe 3 and by theframe 3 itself. The shape of the frame matches the shape of the edges of the blade such that theframe 3 extends all the way along the edges of theblade 5, but at a distance from the edges of theblade 5 such that a small gap is located between theframe 3 and the edges of theblade 5 practically all the way around the blade. - A first end of the
knife cover 1 is provided with alock 8 having arecess 9 in thefirst side surface 6 of theframe 1. This recess receives ahandle 10 of theknife 2 such that thehandle 10 can be detachably and reattachably attached to theframe 3. In this context "detachably and reattachably attached" refers to a locking solution which makes it possible to release the handle from the frame and, after this, to attach the handle again to the frame by means of thelock 8. Consequently, no part of the lock needs to be destroyed or broken in order to remove the knife from the knife cover, and therefore the same lock parts may be utilized several times to attach the handle to the frame. - The
lock 8 may be implemented in different ways. In the illustrated embodiment, thehandle 10 of theknife 2 partly protrudes into the loop defined by theframe 3. A part of thehandle 10 is therefore located in therecess 9. In the illustrated embodiment, thelock 8 comprises alatch 11 which is attached to theframe 3 in the vicinity of the recess. The latch is movable between a locking position, where thelatch 11 overlaps and contacts theknife 2 received in theknife cover 1 and presses thehandle 10 of theknife 2 towards therecess 9 in thefirst side surface 6 offrame 3, and a releasing position where thelatch 11 does not overlap or contact the knife. In the illustrated embodiment, thelatch 11 is rotatably attached to thefirst side surface 6 of theframe 3 via apivot 12, which allows the latch to be moved by rotating it between the locking position and the releasing position. However, as an alternative to rotation, it is also possible to utilize a latch that is linearly moved along a rail, for instance, and consequently not rotated between the locking position and the releasing position. - The
knife cover 3 is provided at asecond end 15 with side supports 13 and 14 protruding from theframe 3 in a direction where they partly cover thehole 4 defined by the frame for supporting opposite side surfaces of theknife blade 5 arranged in thehole 4 defined by theframe 3. In the illustrated example these side supports protrude across thehole 4 from the lower part of theframe 3 inFigure 2 to the upper part of the frame inFigure 2 . This is, however, not necessary in all embodiments, as in some implementations sufficient support for the blade may be accomplished by one or more side supports that do not extend all the way across thehole 4. - Preferably, the knife cover comprises only one
side support - In the illustrated embodiment only two side supports are utilized, and these are arranged such that the side support 13 closer to the
first side surface 6 is located further away from thelock 8 than theside support 14 arranged closer to the second side surface 7. In this way the knife may easily be arranged in the knife cover by first pushing the sharp tip of theblade 5 lengthwise between the side supports 13 and 14 from the side of thefirst side surface 6, and then by pushing thehandle 10 sideways toward therecess 9. In case more than one side support is arranged on either side of theblade 5, then preferably they should all be arranged such that the one or more side supports 13 arranged closer to thefirst side surface 6 are all located further away from thelock 8 than the one ormore side supports 14 arranged closer to the second side surface 7. In the illustrated embodiment theside support 14 provided closer to the second surface 7 is provided with a relatively large plane element, which is provided with an arrow illustrating where the user should pass the sharp tip of the blade between the side supports while arranging a knife in the knife cover. Such a large plane element with an arrow is not necessary in all embodiments. - Due to the combination of the
lock 8 and the side supports 13 and 14, theblade 5 remains securely within theframe 3 such that a user cannot accidentally come into contact with the sharp cutting edge of the blade. The attachment becomes even more secure in case theframe 3 comprises, on both sides of therecess 9, handlesupport sections 16 on an inner surface of theframe 3, which inner surface extends between the first 6 and the second side surfaces 7. Thesehandle support sections 16 face and support thehandle 10 of theknife 1 arranged in theknife cover 1. In the illustrated embodiment thehandle support sections 16 are shaped to match as exactly as possible the shape of the corresponding part of thehandle 10 that they contact, and the mutual distance between thehandle support sections 16 facing each other is equal to or slightly smaller than the corresponding distance between the parts of thehandle 10 that thehandle support sections 16 contact. Therefore thehandle 10 is practically clamped between thehandle support sections 16 that are facing each other on the opposite sides of thehandle 10. - Except of the side supports 13 and 14 the knife cover is substantially free of obstacles preventing access to the
hole 4, and therefore substantially the entire surface of theblade 5 of theknife 1 is accessible from both the first side of the knife cover and the second side of the knife cover. As is clear from the drawings, only the side supports 13 and 14 cover parts of theknife blade 5 when the knife cover is viewed from the side, as inFigure 1 . However, the distance between the side supports 13 and 14 may be larger than the thickness of theknife blade 5. Therefore also the parts of the knife blade covered by the side supports as seen in a side view are accessible by a washing liquid, for instance, while the knife and the knife cover are washed. - As is clear from the above explanation, the knife cover of
Figures 1 to 4 may be used on a knife practically all the time that the knife in question is not used for cutting. This includes during washing of the knife, such as in a washing machine, during drying of the knife and during storing of the knife. -
Figures 5 and 6 illustrate a second embodiment of a knife cover. The embodiment ofFigures 5 and 6 is very similar to the one explained in connection withFigures 1 to 4 , and therefore the embodiment ofFigures 5 and 6 will mainly be explained by pointing out the differences between these embodiments. -
Figure 5 illustrates a side view of a knife cover 1', andFigure 6 illustrates a cross section of the knife cover 1' along line A - A inFigure 5 as well as of a knife handle. - In
Figures 5 and 6 the lock 8' does not comprise a latch. Instead the width W of the recess 9' is equal to or smaller than the width of thehandle 10 of a knife that is arranged in the knife cover similarly toFigure 1 . Friction between the sides of the recess 9' and thehandle 10 therefore attaches the handle to the frame 3' of the knife cover. Additionally, if thehandle 10 has an elastic surface layer, the surface layer may be slightly compressed when the handle is pushed into the recess. Such compression increases the frictional forces attaching the handle to the knife cover. -
Figure 7 illustrates a third embodiment of a knife cover. The embodiment ofFigure 7 is very similar to the one explained in connection withFigures 5 and 6 , and therefore the embodiment ofFigure 7 will mainly be explained by pointing out the differences between these embodiments. -
Figure 7 illustrates in cross section theframe 3" at therecess 9" and ahandle 10 arranged in therecess 9". In this embodiment the recess comprises a section in the vicinity of thefirst surface 6" where the width W1 of therecess 9" is smaller than the width W2 in a section closer to the second side surface 7". In this way thehandle 10 of a knife may be attached to theframe 3" with a snap attachment, as the material of the handle and/or frame is slightly compressed where the width is smaller, and after this the material is allowed to return to its original dimension. At that state the section with the smaller width W1 keeps thehandle 10 firmly in therecess 9". - It is to be understood that the above description and the accompanying figures are only intended to illustrate the present invention. It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that the invention can be varied and modified without departing from the scope of the invention.
