  • the blade carrier 12 is loaded by a non-illustrated return device in the safety position.
  • the blade carrier 12 is movable by means of an actuator between the safety position and the cutting position.
  • a handle 13 is part of the actuator. It forms with the housing a pivot joint G1 and is pivotable in this way between an unactuated position and an end position. Between the unactuated position and the end position of the handle 13 is the actuated position (see Fig. 3). From the unactuated position, the handle 13 in the direction u1 in the actuated position and in the end position is pivotable. The end position is characterized in that a holding surface 23 of the handle 13 rests against a stop 21 of the housing 11 and prevents further movement in the direction u1. From the end position, the handle 13 is pivotable in the direction u2 in the unactuated position. Also from the actuated position, the handle is pivotable in the direction u2 in the unactuated position.
  • the blade carrier 12 In an unactuated position of the handle 13 shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the blade carrier 12 is in the safety position. By pivoting the handle 13 in the actuated position shown in FIG. 3, the blade carrier 12 is moved to the cutting position. The handle 13 is loaded by the rear part device in the unactuated position.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un couteau (10) comportant un boîtier (11) dans lequel un porte-lame (12) est mobile entre une position de sécurité, dans laquelle une lame (17) maintenue sur le porte-lame (12) est disposée dans le boîtier (11), et une position de coupe dans laquelle la lame (17) fait saillie du boîtier (11). Le porte-lame (12) est mobile jusque dans une position de changement de lame dans laquelle la lame (17) fait saillie du boîtier (11) avec une longueur plus grande que dans la position de coupe. Le couteau (10) comporte un dispositif d'actionnement qui comprend une manette (13) qui permet de déplacer le porte-lame (12). La particularité réside dans le fait que le couteau (10) comprend un dispositif d'arrêt (16) qui permet de bloquer le porte-lame (12) directement ou indirectement de façon libérable dans la position de changement de lame.
