- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION An example of a safety knife made according to the invention is described in exploded at the fiqurel.
- the blade holder is inserted into the carriage which is adapted to slide in the body 50.
- the blade holder receives a blade 1 which extends to the front of the blade holder.
- the blade holder 20 can slide longitudinally with respect to the carriage 10 between a retracted retraction position of the blade and an advanced output position of the blade.
- the carriage has an operating button or pushbutton 16 protruding from the body through an opening 51 of the body.
- This pusher actuated by the operator, moves the carriage forward of the knife body where the opening 53 of the output blade.
- the blade holder is biased back by a first spring 40, the carriage being returned to a rear rest position by a second spring 60.
- the first and second springs are fixed on retaining means disposed on the body of the knife.
- the blade holder comprises pins 21 formed by cylindrical pins aligned along a common axis perpendicular to the sliding movement of the blade holder and arranged in the lower rear portion of the blade holder, these pins being defined as cylindrical parts around which the blade holder is capable to have a rotational movement.
- a rocking push rod 30 whose function will be seen further is articulated on the blade holder by means of a rotary shaft 22 and a housing 35, the axis being here on the blade holder and the housing on the push rod, this configuration can however be reversed in the context of the invention.
- the push rod 30 includes a front arm 33 and a rear arm 32 extending from two opposite sides of the housing 35 for the rotary shaft 22 on the blade holder.
- a distal end of the rear arm 32 of the push rod 30 carries a first pin 31 and a distal end of the front arm 33 carries a second pin 34, said second pin being received in a groove 13 of the carriage.
- FIGS. 2A to 2D show steps in the operation of a knife according to the invention and in particular make it possible to visualize the sliding of the blade holder 20 in the carriage between an advanced output position of the blade and a retracted retracted position of the blade. blade.
- the sliding between the output position of the blade and the retracted position is achieved by means of an automatic retraction mechanism of the blade at the end of cutting.
- the blade is released by pushing on the pusher 16 of the carriage 10 which drives the blade holder by the engagement of the first pin 31 with the stopper 12. With the blade holder in the advanced position, the first pin 31 is engaged with the stopper 12 of the carriage.
- the mechanism is therefore mainly achieved by means of the rocker push rod and a stop stop 12 retaining the blade holder in the advanced position, engaged in said advanced position with the first pin 31 of the push rod 30 .
- the stopper is made by means of a flexible tongue 12a in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 4B.
- the blade holder and the carriage comprise a trunnion / guide system 1 1, 21 for guiding the blade holder between the advanced position and the retracted position during sliding of the blade holder.
- the journals 21 further form an axis of rotation of the blade holder that the blade holder is fully advanced or in a forward intermediate position.
- the blade holder is adapted to tilt backward in response to a cutting force by rotation about the axis constituted by the pins in the slides 1 1 to take a cutting position inclined at an angle shown in Figure 2B.
- the push rod 30 has a tilting movement about its axis of rotation 22 on the blade holder as shown in Figure 3 where the blade holder and the carriage are shown separately.
- the starting position of the push rod is represented in dashed line according to the angle ⁇ and initially the first pin is at the marked position 31 a.
- the tilting movement of the push rod is caused by the rotation of the front of the blade holder with respect to the carriage which induces a rotation of the arm carrying the second pin 34 retained in the groove 13 of the carriage with respect to the axis 22 .
- the first pin 31 moves itself in rotation about the axis 22 according to the angle ⁇ in a movement amplified by the lever arm effect of the push rod.
- the arrival position of the first pawn is marked 31 b.
- the ratio of the length of the rear arm 32 to the length of the front arm 33 defines the amplification of the rotational displacement of the end of the rear arm in response to the rotational displacement of the end of the front arm during the inclination of the blade holder under a cutting effort.
- the mechanism of automatic re-entry of the blade holder at the end of cutting is based on the use of the push rod 30 placed between the carriage and the blade holder and designed to separate the assembly during the inclination of the blade holder in the position of inclined cut. This separation is effected according to the example by the engagement output of the first pin with the stop, blade holder in inclined cutting position, so that the blade holder can move back under the action of the first return spring 40 arranged between the blade holder and the knife body at the end of cutting when the force on the blade is released.
- the stopper is associated with a tongue 14 preventing the return of the first pin 31 in engagement with the stopper 12.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B of the embodiment of FIG. 1 represent an enlarged view of the operation of the device in the return phase of the blade holder in the retracted rear position.
- the first pin 31 is disengaged from the stopper, the blade holder being in an inclined position according to the angle a under the action of the cutting force and the springs 40, between the blade holder and the body.
- knife and 60 between the carriage and the body of the knife, are stretched.
- the pin 31 In its recoil movement, the pin 31 is guided in a cam path 15 extending to a rear portion of the carriage corresponding to a retracted position of the blade holder defining the retracted position of the blade.
- the cam path 15 has a profile adapted to return the first pin 31 in alignment in a longitudinal axis A of the knife with the stopper 12, blade holder 20 in the retracted position.
- the temporary stop 101 shown in Figure 2A keeps the blade advanced as the blade is in the cutting position even if the cutting force is low, the pin being in back support against the temporary stop as shown in Figure 2B.
- the blade holder can return to the non-inclined position under the action of the pull of the spring 40.
- This spring is in particular arranged relative to the axis constituted by the pins 21, 21 'so as to return the blade holder from the inclined position to a position in alignment with the carriage. This causes the first peg to come out of the temporary stop and move the blade holder back into the retracted position of the blade.
- the pusher 16 protrudes from the body through an opening 51 of the body.
- This pusher integral with the carriage 10, 10 ', allows to push in the advanced position.
- the second return spring 60 of the carriage in a rear rest position acts against the thrust on the pusher 16.
- the blade holder 20 is connected to the body 50 through the first return spring 40.
- the body When the carriage 10 is positioned in a rear rest position under the action of the second return spring 60, the body comprises a stop 52 which stops the blade holder in its recoil under the action of the first spring 40 and allows the setting of the blade holder in advanced position relative to the carriage and the engagement of the first pin with the stopper 12 as shown in FIG. 2D.
- the carriage moves back with respect to the blade holder by a distance sufficient for the pin to come into engagement with the stopper.
- FIGS. 5A to 7 corresponds to a variant of the invention which makes it possible in particular to reduce the width and the height of the knife.
- the carriage does not surround the blade holder laterally but straddles the blade holder which reduces the width of the knife.
- the trunnions of the blade holder are received in slides 1 1 'of the knife body instead of sliders of the carriage which reduces the height of the carriage and therefore the knife.
- the stopper 12 ' is carried by a flexible arm 12b in the embodiment of FIGS. 5A to 7
- the flexible arm 12b bearing the abutment 12 'equivalent to the abutment 12 is shown in perspective section in Figure 6.
- the abutment 12' is constituted by a shoulder at the end of the arm, a cover 12c covering the abutment remaining resting on the first pin 31 to maintain the arm in constraint as the first pin bears against the stopper.
- the slides 1 1 ' are further made not by lights on the carriage but by grooves in two half-shells forming the knife body receive the pair of pins 21' of the blade holder.
- the pins in this case slide in the pair of slides on the knife body.
- the arm 12b comprises a shoulder prohibiting the return of the first pin 31 in engagement with the stopper 12 'formed by a side face 12d of the arm 12b.
- This shoulder has the same use as the tongue 14 of the previous embodiment while being easier to manufacture.
- a stop 52 ' ensures that the blade holder 20' is positioned parallel to the carriage so that the rod thrust is found in alignment with the abutment 1 1.
- the push rod is a toggle piece between the carriage and the blade holder and that its angular tilting is controlled by the rotational movement of the blade holder relative to the carriage.
- This is a continuously constrained movement for which the push rod takes positions defined by the rotation of the rod under the action of the rotation of the blade holder unlike for example a device where a spring between the blade holder and the carriage is stressed and released by an additional relative movement towards the front of the blade holder relative to the carriage.
- the blade holder when the blade holder is connected to the carriage by means of the push rod, the blade holder is secured to the carriage so that the blade holder can not advance relative to the carriage.
- the invention is not limited to the examples shown and encompasses variants of thrust rod devices between a carriage and a blade holder falling within the scope of the claims and in particular it is possible to use embodiments of the first embodiment of the invention. realization described with the second and vice versa.
