JP7444944B1 - folding guard lock - Google Patents

Abstract

[Problem] Ultimately, when the folding guard rotates, the tool that also includes the blade rotates, and conversely, when the tool that also includes the blade rotates, the folding guard rotates as well. To provide a locking mechanism in which the ``rotation'' is rotated and locked when ``the rotation'' is completed. [Solution] Two wedge parts and one finger guard part are added to the lock release button, two missing parts are provided to the "tool including the blade", and the "lock release button" and "the tool including the blade" are connected by a bevel gear.

Description

The present invention relates to a folding knife or folding tool or folding tool which also has a blade. I bought related books and attended seminars, but I was left with some questions about the application process, and the years passed in a slump. As a result, I felt frustrated, but it also relates to the unsubmitted part of the folding guard system that the inventor devised about 30 years ago. This may also be something that a person skilled in the art could easily come up with, but if that is the case, I would like to apologize for causing the Patent Office to do unnecessary work.

Supplementary explanation 1. Avoid expressions such as ``a folding guard with a wedge portion'' or ``a wedge integrated with the folding guard,'' and instead refer to ``a lock release with a wedge portion and a finger guard portion.''・A lock release button that is assumed to be integrated with the wedge part or the wedge part and finger guard part When the tool'' rotates, the area that does not invade the area in which the tool including the blade moves'' and when the tool including the blade rotates, the area where the tool also includes the blade moves, I decided to describe it as a lock release button that has a "part that violates the area in which the tool, including the blade, travels" and a "finger guard part." This may be a self-righteous judgment.''It will increase the possibility of communication.'' Incidentally, the phrase ``might be self-righteous'' means that ``communicability depends on common assumptions, and common assumptions change depending on the time and region, and the more diversity and fluidity increases, the more difficult it becomes to make assumptions about common assumptions.'' While the scope for happy mutual misunderstandings increases, the scope for unhappy mutual understanding and unhappy mutual misunderstandings also increases, leading to an island-like universe in which everyone treats all members of society equally. This is due to being forced to be self-righteous.It probably goes without saying, but "folding guards with a wedge part", "wedges integrated with the folding guard", and "finger guard parts" ``a wedge having a wedge portion'' and ``a lock release button having a wedge portion and a finger guard portion'' and ``a lock release button having a wedge portion and a finger guard portion'' and ``a lock release button having a wedge portion and a finger guard portion'' and ``a lock release button having a wedge portion and a finger guard portion'' and ``a lock release button having a wedge portion and a finger guard portion.'' A part that does not infringe on the area in which the tool moves, and an area in which the tool that also includes the blade moves when the tool that also includes the blade rotates. ``A lock release button having a finger guard portion'' and a ``lock release button having a finger guard portion'' are, at least in this case, the same thing, just the way they are expressed is different. "Water", "a compound consisting of two oxygens and one hydrogen", and "a compound whose freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius and boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius under 1 atmosphere, and when it is liquid, 1 liter weighs 1 kilogram" like. Just to be sure, if water were a compound that was not given a noun, it would be ``a compound consisting of two oxygens and one hydrogen,'' or ``under 1 atmosphere, 0 degrees Celsius is the freezing point.'' So, 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point, and when it's liquid, 1 liter is 1 kilogram of a compound.'', ``A clear liquid that can be drunk by non-alcoholic people,'' and ``The thing that collects rain.'' , you might say it's ``melted snow.'' Furthermore, if you think that ``the periodic table is a common premise,'' then when you feel thirsty, you can say, ``The most likely transmission is, ``Give me a compound consisting of two oxygens and one hydrogen.'' .” I guess. '.

Supplementary explanation 2. In this specification, the directions "front", "rear", "left", "right", "belly", and "dorsal" refer to "front" and "back" within the 0.2 mm dotted line circle indicated by the reference numeral 25 in FIGS. 1 and 6. ``rear'', ``left'', ``right'', ``abdomen'', and ``back'', and ``x'', ``y'', and ``z'' as directional components in this specification are 0.2 mm, which is the reference numeral 25 in FIGS. 1 and 6. It is assumed that "x", "y", and "z" within the dotted circle are the same. In addition, when the tool including a blade is open, the tip of the tool including the blade is the front, the opposite direction from the tip is the rear or butt, and there is a stop pin. Considering that it is common to have one's back facing one's side, and it has been determined that following the above-mentioned general practice would increase the possibility of communication, I decided on the left, right, abdomen, and back. Therefore, the ``ventral side'' may be referred to as ``the side through which the ``tool including the blade'' passes when the ``tool including the blade'' is opened or closed'' or ``the side of the ``tool including the blade''. In other words, it is "on the storage space side." Maybe it's called "the front side," or maybe I'm not searching enough on the part of the inventor who is also the author of this specification, but I don't think there are any sites that explain the structure of folding knives, not just Japanese sites. Even after searching English sites, I couldn't find the name for ``belly.''

Supplementary explanation 3. The following four points are used to express "any of 'handle' or 'liner' or 'handle and liner'" or "any of 'handle' or 'liner' or 'handle and liner'" by. First, there is a pattern in which a foldable tool is held between both a metal component and a synthetic resin component, which has a lower thermal conductivity than metal. Second, a pattern in which a foldable tool is held between only metal members, and synthetic resin, wood, or deer antler, which has a lower thermal conductivity than metal, is glued to the metal member. There are also things. Third, there are some patterns in which the foldable tool is held between only metal members, without bonding synthetic resin, etc., which has lower thermal conductivity than metal. Fourth, there are patterns in which the foldable tool is not held between metal members, but only between members made of synthetic resin, etc., which has lower conductivity than metal. As a reminder, the contact surface between the handle and the liner is not necessarily flat. Although it costs more than a flat surface, it may also be textured to make it more difficult to peel off than a flat surface. For example, if the contact surface between the handle and the liner is uneven, for example, not only the holes 9, 10, and 11, but also the holes 3, 4, and 33 will not extend to the handle and liner. It's not impossible.

Supplementary explanation 4. I started using angle brackets a lot even though I knew it would make people think, ``My Japanese is weird. It's a land mine.'' It was after others pointed out to me, ``My Japanese is weird.'' ``My Japanese is weird.'' This is because I have lost all confidence in my punctuation when I have to use a lot of complex noun phrases or complex adjectives because I can't find suitable nouns or adjectives. In the case of an inventor who is also the author of this specification and has lost confidence in punctuation, the power of angle brackets can be used to clarify where a noun phrase ends and an adjective phrase ends. I have no choice but to rent one. I guess I could just ask a patent attorney, but that would be difficult due to the scar on my face. I would like Kaiyo to consider the situation wisely. Of course, I accept the fact that it will be branded as a ``landmine.''

The present inventor stated, ``Not only does the folding guard rotate with a delay in response to the rotation of the tool including the blade, but also when the lock is accidentally released, the fingers may be placed between the handle and the tool including the blade. It was about 30 years ago that we devised a system that eliminates the risk of being caught. At that time, I thought, ``Let's devise a locking mechanism that eliminates the risk of fingers being caught between the handle and the tool, including the blade, even when unlocking.'' I went through a lot of trial and error in my head, and roughly divided them into two cases. I worked out the locking mechanism. One of the ideas seems to have already been registered at the time the idea was devised, but the other one could have been registered if it had been within a few years from the time the internet application software download request was submitted and the software was downloaded and installed. This is an idea that could have been done. There was a time when I cursed my own (inventor) fate, but since there are several unpatented locking mechanisms that I was able to come up with through trial and error in my head, I decided to write one of the unfiled locking mechanisms. I decided to apply for one. Therefore, in terms of a technical tree, the present invention is a sequel to the locking mechanism for folding tools previously filed by the present inventor.

If we refrain from using a more solipsistic expression, we can paraphrase it as follows. This invention was developed by mentally testing the questions ``Is there a way to lock the tool with a folding guard?'' and ``Conversely, is there a way to rotate the tool, including the blade, by rotating the folding guard?'' It was devised through repeated mistakes. You may think, ``I'm still completely solipsistic,'' but in the process of understanding the locking mechanism devised by others, I realized the flaws in the locking mechanism, and came up with an idea to eliminate the flaw. Since the specification, etc. was not created in an environment where it is possible to connect to the Internet, and it is still difficult to rely on the help of a patent attorney, I will not provide any further explanation of the background technology. there is nothing to do. In modern Japanese society, where scars on the face have become a symbol of anti-social forces, the existence of people with scars on their faces is a ``self-circulating argument'' in the sense that there is no statistical support for it, and it is a violation of what is called in economics. Coupled with the world and public appearance, which are ``like a beauty poll'' and ``what sociology calls an inexplicable thing,'' it is probably more difficult than anyone who does not have facial scars can imagine. The disadvantages brought about by the "symbolic culture of modern Japanese society, which can be described as a system of collusion with Japanese folklore" or a system of stereotypes that are Japanese in nature, include scars on the face and pinky fingers. For some reason, the fact that the lack of information has become a symbol of anti-social forces is not recognized as discrimination or prejudice by academics who advocate anti-discrimination in Japan and receive huge research funds. For example, if you say ``Kore ga saa...'' while gently pulling your finger from your cheek, many adult Japanese people automatically convert it into ``Yakuza ga saa...'' in their brains. It should be. Even in the 21st century. For example, in a conversation program with Takashi Okamura on terrestrial television, Mr. Beat Takeshi pulled back his finger from his cheek and said, ``That's what [the man] was.'' He was caught on a beauty channel. He told a story. That was in 2015. It seems that there are many people who are discriminated against among organized crime group members, but with just one look, they can scatter those who look at them with a single glance. However, in the case of people with scars on their faces who are not related to organized crime or other anti-social forces, they have no choice but to remain calm. If you stare at them or protest, they will say, ``That's scary. Those rumors were true,'' because they are not real organized crime groups or other anti-social forces. There are 20-30% of people who make lame jokes like, ``He's a former yakuza.'' There are also 20-30% of people who take jokes seriously. As of May 2022, the number of patented ideas has reached three, making it possible to file a complaint. If you make a complaint before any patents have been registered, the response will be, ``Let's get some sympathy and give you some extra care. He's a coward.'' Or, ``If you have the ability, you won't be discriminated against. Even if you don't have any scars, you're still at the bottom. That's it.'' The theory of self-determination and self-responsibility became a theory of self-reduction around the time of Takenaka Koizumi's structural reforms, and even those who denied free will and those who became solipsists influenced by self-help books turned it into a theory of self-reduction, and then it became a theory of correlationism. By basing this on the brain in a tank and self-help books, it became a theory of reduction to state. It seems to be called the emotional self-responsibility theory on anonymous bulletin boards. Then, objectivity and objective reality as something independent of subjectivity became an illusion, and murders occurred in Kobe's Kita Ward by people who claimed that they had just killed philosophical zombies. There are no real people who think that ``I just deceived the philosophical zombie.'' ``I just used power harassment on the philosophical zombie.'' It is likely that Although that may be an exaggeration, Iwanami's declaration of hiring people with nepotism and Shinjiro Koizumi, who is a hereditary member of the Diet and is calling for the overcoming of vested interests, are saying, Modern Japanese society is not very fair, as evidenced by the fact that, as the Minister of the Environment, he did not object to the idea of "reducing the use of plastic bags as raw materials." Many liberals in Japan say, ``If you criticize the non-liberal mindset of others, you will be seen as a liberal person who values fairness.'' Isn't he a pseudo-liberal who is thinking this while speaking? Even if that is an exaggeration, even if the inventor, who is also an outcast of the parent gacha, brought the manuscript to a publisher, it would probably end up in vain. Any passage that indicts the discriminatory nature of modern Japanese society's symbolic culture must be questioned as to its illegality. However, there is a public benefit. He is also placed in a situation where it is important for him to go to the Ministry of Justice. It may be wrong to define discrimination as ``things that have no choice but to be brought up on the spot'' and things other than that being brought into question, but in order to realize a more just society, We ask for reasonable accommodation. If I have to go to court, I will comply as long as I have the strength to do so. For the sake of my friends, who I've never met, who probably cry every time they say, "Japanese people are the ones who win the national gacha." Many of the people I've never met have probably committed suicide before the age of 40 because they were a super-minority and didn't have a chance to connect with each other, so they couldn't talk to anyone about it. Maybe it's better to make them feel a little scared. ``Although I am a scholar who calls for anti-discrimination and the elimination of discrimination, I am aware of the problem of ``facial scars, probably caused by the easy and simple techniques of manga and comedy sketches, becoming symbols of organized crime groups and other anti-social forces.'' Especially when it comes to academics who are shameless in the sense that they don't see it as a problem as a form of structural discrimination. However, for the sake of my friends, whom I have never met, the inventor vows not to become a terrorist. If this inventor were to become a terrorist, etc., the Japanese mass media that promoted lookism, such as ``people are what they look like'', would be discriminatory, such as ``What is the darkness in the hearts of people with scars on their faces?'' A special feature will probably be created that will aggravate prejudice. The inventor, who is also the author of this specification, is a fool, but he has given material to make money and kill time to the shameless Japanese scholars who are tormenting him and to the Japanese mass media, which is giving the shameless scholars an opportunity to speak out. Not enough to offer.

Finally, when the "lock release button, which is a type of folding guard, is equipped with a wedge part and a finger guard part," the "tool including the blade" rotates, and vice versa. The rotation of the ``tool including the blade'' also causes the ``lock release button, which is a type of folding guard, having a wedge portion and a finger guard portion'''' to rotate, When the "rotation" is completed, the "lock release button, which is a type of folding guard, and is equipped with a wedge part and a finger guard part" and the "tool including the blade" are removed. To provide a locking mechanism in which "the tool including the blade" is locked when fitted.

First, a method for locking a ``tool including a blade'' using a ``lock release button with a wedge portion'' to which a finger guard portion is expected to be added will be explained. (1) The lock release button is rotatable, (2) the rotation axis is not shared between the lock release button and the tool including the blade, and (3) the lock release button is rotatable. (4) ensure that the area where the lock release button moves when the lock release button rotates includes a suitable location for installing a finger guard; When the "lock release button" rotates "the tool including the blade" depending on the rotation of the lock release button, the "tool including the blade" moves. (5) In order to achieve the purpose of (4) above, the lock/release button is provided with a button that acts as a wedge portion for the tool including the blade. ``A part that does not infringe on the area in which the ``tool including a blade'' moves when the ``tool including a blade'' rotates'''' and ``A part that does not infringe on the area in which the ``tool including a blade'' moves when the ``tool including a blade'' rotates.'' ” is provided with a “portion that invades the region in which the tool including the blade” moves when the tool rotates, and (6) the tool including the blade and the handle or the A missing part is provided in either the liner or the handle and the liner, and (7) provided that the missing part of the tool including the blade and the handle (8) The missing part of the "tool including the blade" is made to form a continuous space when the "tool including the blade" is open, and (8) the missing part of the "tool including the blade" is "Missing part" is "A region where the "tool including the blade" moves when the "tool including the blade" rotates" which is the "wedge part" of the "lock/release button". ``The part that violates ``'' should fit on the ventral side instead of the dorsal side. It probably goes without saying that if the ``continuous space'' of the current paragraph is not formed, the rotation of the ``lock/release button of the current paragraph'' will be inhibited. In other words, between "the continuous space of this paragraph" and "the area to which the lock/release button of this paragraph moves when the "lock/release button of this paragraph" rotates" If there is no overlap, the purpose of (4) of this paragraph cannot be achieved. In addition, "the area in which the 'tool including the blade' in this paragraph moves when the 'tool including the blade in this paragraph'" of the 'lock/release button in this paragraph' rotates.' The wedge part is the part that infringes on the blade and the part that fits with the missing part of the tool including the blade in this paragraph. Just in case, I'll say this. It might be more correct to say "the above" instead of "in this paragraph," but since we are filing a series of inventions at the same time, we deliberately decided to say "in this paragraph." However, in the claims, "the region in which the lock-release button moves when the lock-release button rotates" and "the tool including the blade" are It is expressed as "a part that violates the area in which the tool including the blade moves" when it rotates. However, this does not apply if a procedural amendment must be submitted after receiving a notice of reasons for refusal.

A ``coil-type spring'' is incorporated into ``a folding knife in which the locking mechanism described in paragraph number 0009'' is used, An example of controlling the "rotation of the release button" is the example of FIG.

Although it is also an "illustration regarding (4) described in paragraph number 0009," FIG. 7 is an "illustration regarding one embodiment of FIG. 6." "A circle of 0.2 mm with code 23" means "When the lock/release button with code 1 is rotated," "a tool including a blade with code 17" rotates. ``The maximum radius that does not infringe on the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' moves''''. Therefore, "the part that does not infringe on the tangent line of the 0.2 mm circle indicated by code 23" is "the part that does not violate the tangent line of the 0.2 mm circle designated by code 23" when the ""the tool including the blade" described in paragraph number 0009 rotates. This means that the area where the tool including the blade moves does not invade the area.

Without "code 26", "code 1" cannot acquire the function as a wedge. Therefore, this seems to go without saying. However, I will explain it just in case. It is "either 26 or 27" that fits with ``any of the missing parts of the tool including the blade 17'', which are the two points 19 and 20, Reference numeral 26 and reference numeral 27 refer to ``the part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' moves when the ``tool including the blade'' rotates'' described in paragraph number 0009.'' ” belongs to. In addition, the word "belongs" in this paragraph refers to code 1, ""When the ""said "tool including a blade"" described in paragraph number 0009 rotates, ""the "said "tool including a blade"" This is because it is assumed that a finger guard part with a part that violates the moving area is added. For example, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. It is a component that has a "portion that violates the region in which the tool including the blade moves" when rotating.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, if "the angle of the rotational movement of the lock/release button" written in paragraph number 0009 is set to 90 degrees, then " ``The part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' moves when the ``tool including the blade'' rotates'''' is ``paragraph number 0009, which is also code 26''. When the ``tool including the blade'' rotates, it leaves the ``area in which the ``tool including the blade'' moves''''.

(9) ``The part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' moves when the ``tool including the blade'' rotates'''' described in paragraph number 0009'' "Paragraph number required to leave the "area in which the "tool including the blade" moves when the "tool including the blade" rotates" described in paragraph number 0009. The angle of rotation of the lock-release button described in paragraph number 0009 is α, and (10) the angle of rotation of the lock-release button described in paragraph number 0009 is α. If ω is the maximum possible volume of the part that violates the area in which the tool including the blade moves when the tool rotates, then If the "shape and size of the missing part" and the "installation location of the rotation axis of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009" are the same, "if the "above α" is set to 90 degrees" Since ``the above ω'' is smaller when ``the above α'' is set to 45 degrees'', ``the case where the above ``α'' is set to 90 degrees'' is smaller than ``when the above α is set to 90 degrees''. It may be easier to handle "if you do". However, if you want to make the locking force stronger, you should select ``the case where ``the α'' is 90 degrees'' instead of ``the case where the ``alpha'' is 45 degrees''.

If the "rotational axis of the tool including the blade described in paragraph number 0009" is perpendicular to the xy plane, then the "rotational axis of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009" is "parallel to the xy plane and 45 degrees to the x and y axes", when the finger guard part is folded, the "finger guard part" becomes parallel to the y axis. It can be stored in either the ``handle'' or the ``handle and blade''. Incidentally, as is the case with the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. The "rotation axis of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009" is perpendicular to the xz plane.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, when adding a "finger guard part" to the "lock release button which is also provided with a wedge part which is numeral 1 and which is a wedge part which is numeral 26," ” and “the finger guard portion” cannot be folded unless the “finger guard portion” is pivoted. This is because the "lock/release button numbered 1" attempts to return to 0 degrees by the "coil type spring" numbered 29. ``Within a 0.2 mm circle with code 34'' is an enlarged version of ``coil type spring with code 29,'' and there are protrusions on both ends of ``coil type spring with code 29.'' There are parts. ``The protruding portion designated by numeral 36'' fits with the ``lock release button designated by numeral 1'', and the ``protruding portion designated by numeral 35'' fits with the ``lock release button designated by numeral 1''. '' is fitted with ``the handle'' or ``liner'' or ``handle and liner'' on the side with the rotating shaft, and the ``signs of the above two points'' are ``code 29'' in the 0 degree state. It is installed so that no stress in the direction in which the lock/release button (coded 1) rotates is applied to the "coil-shaped spring". Incidentally, the restoring force of the y-direction component of the "coil-shaped spring, numbered 29," in other words, the restoring force related to the expansion and contraction of the coil, is the restoring force of the "coil-shaped spring, numbered 29," and the restoring force related to the expansion and contraction of the coil. ``Handle'' or ``Liner'' or ``Handle and Liner.・It is used to maintain the fit with the recessed part designated by 32 on the button.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, when adding a finger guard part to the "lock release button which is also provided with a wedge part which is numbered 1 and 'wedge part which is numbered 26,'" If you try to provide a part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' (code 17) moves when the ``tool including the blade'' (number 17) rotates, the degree of freedom in design will increase. decreases. I can't express it well, but the reason is that I have to make it feel like a detour. In addition, the comparison target in this paragraph is the area in which the "tool including the blade, numbered 17" moves when the "tool including the blade, numbered 17" rotates in the finger guard part. This is a case where no attempt is made to provide a part that violates ``.

When adding a finger guard part "a lock release button having a wedge portion designated by numeral 1 and a wedge portion designated by numeral 26," as in one embodiment of FIG. To the right of "Tools including blades" there is "rotation axis of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009", and "rotation axis of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009". If the "direction" is clockwise" and "The rotation axis of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009" is to the left of "the tool including the blade described in paragraph number 0009," In addition, if the "rotation direction of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009" is counterclockwise, the degree of freedom in design is reduced. This is because "the missing portion described in paragraph number 0009" must be made larger. In addition, the comparison target in this paragraph is the "lock release button described in paragraph number 0009" to the right of ""tool including blade described in paragraph number 0009" as in the first embodiment of FIG. 1. ``axis of rotation'' and ``direction of rotation of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009'' is counterclockwise'' and ``a tool including a blade described in paragraph number 0009''. If the "rotation axis of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009" is on the left side, and the "rotation direction of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009" is clockwise. ”.

If you want to be able to lock multiple "tools including blades" using the "locking mechanism described in paragraph number 0009," the right side of the "tools including blades" described in paragraph number 0009. ``If the rotation axis of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009'' is counterclockwise, and the rotation direction of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009'' is counterclockwise, To the left of "the tool including the blade described in paragraph number 0009" there is "the rotation axis of the lock release button described in paragraph number 0009", and "the lock described in paragraph number 0009". - If the rotation direction of the release button is clockwise, the degree of freedom in design is reduced. This is because "the missing portion described in paragraph number 0009" must be made larger. In addition, the comparison target in this paragraph is "the rotation axis of the lock release button described in paragraph number 0009" to the right of "the tool including the blade described in paragraph number 0009", and, If the "rotation direction of the lock/release button described in paragraph number 0009" is clockwise" and "Tool including a blade described in paragraph number 0009", the ""paragraph number 0009 The rotation axis of the lock release button described in Paragraph No. 0009 is counterclockwise, and the rotation direction of the lock release button described in paragraph number 0009 is counterclockwise.

For types that do not have a finger guard on the lock release button, select "Next to the right and clockwise", and for types with a finger guard on the lock release button, select "Next to the right and The reason why I chose "counterclockwise rotation" is to help people understand that the degree of freedom in design changes between "right neighbor and clockwise rotation" and "right neighbor and counterclockwise rotation" just by comparing the diagrams. That was the goal, but it may have been a failure.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is an intermediate stage of a means for solving the problem described in paragraph number 0008. The "lock release button with wedge portion and finger guard portion" rotates 180 degrees.

The differences between the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and the embodiment shown in FIG. ” can be mentioned. The embodiment of FIG. 6 controls the rotation of the lock-release button with a "coiled spring," whereas the embodiment of FIG. 1 controls the rotation of the lock-release button with a bearing and spring; Therefore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the angle at which the lock/release button is fixed is 0 degrees unless an external force is applied, but in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. In addition, it can be fixed at three locations, ie, 0 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees.

The second point is the direction of rotation of the lock release button when releasing the lock at 0 degrees. The one embodiment of FIG. 6 is clockwise, whereas the one embodiment of FIG. 1 is counterclockwise. However, the difference in this paragraph is a result of selecting the one with a higher degree of design freedom described in paragraph numbers 0018 and 0019, and is not a difference in the structure of the locking mechanism.

The third point is the difference when the lock/release button is provided with a finger guard part. While the embodiment of FIG. 6 does not have a foldable finger guard section, the embodiment of FIG. 1 does have a foldable finger guard section. As already explained in paragraph number 0017, in the embodiment of FIG. It becomes like this. Since it has already been explained in paragraph number 0017, this paragraph implicitly assumes that ``the lock/release button and the finger guard part are not pivotally connected'' in the context. It probably goes without saying, but I decided to verbalize my implicit premise.

The fourth point, which is also explained in paragraph numbers 0018 and 0019, is the difference in the size of "the missing part of the 'tool including the blade'" described in paragraph number 0009. can be mentioned. In both FIG. 6 and FIG. 1, the "missing part of the tool including the blade" designated by numeral 20 has the same shape and size, but the lock/release button of the embodiment shown in FIG. As long as the rotation is from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is better than the embodiment shown in FIG. You can reduce the size. Please compare FIG. 7, which is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 6, with FIG. 3, which is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. As long as the lock/release button of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is rotated from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, "the missing part of the tool including the blade" which is 20 and which the wedge part does not invade. You will notice that there is

The fifth point is that the wedge violates the area in which the "tool including the blade" moves when the "tool including the blade" rotates as described in paragraph number 0009. The difference is in the number of parts. While the embodiment in FIG. 6 has one point, the embodiment in FIG. 1 has two points.

The simplest locking mechanism in this series of inventions is "the locking mechanism described in paragraph number 0009." In other words, the number of "parts that violate the area in which the "tool including the blade" moves when the "tool including the blade" rotates" is 1 point, and " There is one missing part of the ``tool including the blade,'' and there is no mechanism to control the rotation of the lock-release button, and the lock-release button does not have a finger guard part.

A common feature between the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 and the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is that the locking mechanism has two "missing parts of the tool including the blade." Moreover, ``one of the two missing parts of the ``tool including the blade'''' is ``the ``handle'' or the ``liner'' when the ``tool including the blade'' is open or closed. or the missing part of either the handle or the liner.

The locking mechanism of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes (11) 15, ``either a handle or a liner, or a handle and a liner, which is provided with a missing portion 24''. , (12) ``A tool including a blade'' having two missing parts, ``the missing part with the code 20'' and ``the missing part with the code 19'', which is the code 17, and (13) 28, ``A part that does not infringe on the region in which the ``tool including a blade'' designated by numeral 17 moves when the ``tool including a blade'' designated by 17 rotates'' Two points, 26 and 27, violate the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' with code 17 moves when the ``tool including the blade'' with code 17 rotates. A code 1 comprising a "finger guard part", a "finger guard part", a code 2, and a "recess that fits with three bearings, code 8" It consists of a lock release button, (14) "bearing number 7" and "spring number 6", and (15) "a tool including a blade numbered 17" is closed. ``Condition'', ``2 missing parts with code 19 in ``tool including blade'' with code 17'', ``missing part with code 19'' with ``24 with ``handle'' with code 15'' or the missing part of either the liner or the handle and the liner' forms a continuous space, and (16) in the state where the 'tool including the blade' designated by reference numeral 17 is open' ``Two missing parts in ``Tools including blades'' with numeral 17'' and ``20 missing parts in ``24'' and ``Handle or liner with numeral 15.'' or the missing part of either the handle or the liner" forms a continuous space, and (17) the lock/release button, numbered 1, connects the rotation axis to the tool, including the blade, numbered 17. '', and (18) ``the continuous space of (15) above'' is not shared with ``the lock/release button with code 1'' when it rotates. It has an area that overlaps with the area in which the button moves. ” is set to 0 degrees, which is the state in which the “finger guard portion” with code 2 is closed”. When the ``tool including the blade'' rotates, the part with the numeral 26 of ``the area where the ``tool including the blade'' with the numeral 17 moves'''' is 17 of the two missing parts in the ``Tool that also includes a blade'' are fitted and locked, and (20) ``The tool that also includes a blade'' that is the ``Tool that includes the blade'' is fitted and locked. '' is closed, and the rotation angle of the lock/release button (code 1) is 180 degrees, which is when the finger guard part (code 2) is open. '', when the two points 26 and 27 rotate, the 17 tool that also includes a blade moves. ``The part with code 27 that violates the area'' and the ``missing part with code 19 of the two missing parts in the ``tool including blade'' with code 17'' are fitted. (21) When the ``tool including the blade, numbered 17, is open'', the rotation angle of the lock/release button numbered 1 is changed to ``the tool, including the blade numbered 17''. 2, which is the state in which the finger guard part is closed, is 0 degrees, and the two points, code 26 and code 27, are ``Tool, including the blade, code 17.'' 26 of ``the part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' designated by 17 moves'' when rotating'' and ``The ``tool including the blade'' designated by 17'' 20 out of the 2 missing parts in 20 are fitted and locked, and (22) in the state where the ``tool including the blade'', which is 17, is open'', If you set the rotation angle of the lock release button numbered 1 to 180 degrees, which is the state in which the finger guard part numbered 2 is open, The two points are ``the part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' with the code 17 moves when the ``tool including the blade'' with the code 17 rotates''. 27" and "the missing part numbered 20 of the two missing parts in the tool including the blade numbered 17" are fitted and locked, and (23) " If the "rotation angle of the lock release button (code 1)" is set to 90 degrees in the locked state of "0 degrees, which is the state where the "finger guard part'' (code 2) is closed, ``When the ``tool including the blade'' designated by numeral 17 rotates, ``the area designated by numeral 28 that does not invade the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' designated by numeral 17 moves'''' When the ``Tool including the blade'' with reference numeral 17 rotates, it approaches the ``area in which the ``Tool including the blade'' with the numeral 17 moves'' and at the same time ``2 with the reference numeral 26 and 27 The code of the point ``The part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' with code 17 moves when the ``tool including the blade'' with code 17 rotates'' 26 is released from the ``area in which the ``tool including the blade'' designated by numeral 17 moves when the ``tool including the blade'' designated by 17 rotates'' and is unlocked. (24) "The rotation angle of the lock release button (code 1)" in the locked state is "180 degrees, which is the state in which the 'finger guard part' (code 2) is open." If it is set to 90 degrees, it will not infringe on the "area in which the tool including the blade, code 17, moves when the tool including the blade, code 17" rotates. When the ``tool including the blade'' designated by numeral 17 approaches the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' designated by numeral 17 moves'', at the same time the ``part 26 and the tool including the blade'' move. 27, 2 points, ``A part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' with code 17 moves when the ``tool including the blade'' with code 17 rotates.'' The code 27 of the above separates from the area in which the 'tool including the blade', code 17, moves when the 'tool including the blade', code 17 rotates, and locks. is canceled .

The locked state of (19) in paragraph number 0029 is "(a) in FIG. 3" and "(a) in FIG. 4". The locked state of (20) in paragraph number 0029 is "(b) in FIG. 4". The locked state of (21) in paragraph number 0029 is "(d) in FIG. 4". The locked state of (22) in paragraph number 0029 is "(c) in FIG. 3" and "(c) in FIG. 4". The state in which the locks (23) and (24) in paragraph number 0029 are released is "(b) in FIG. 3" and "(e) in FIG. 4".

In "Embodiment 1 of FIG. 1", when "a lock release button having a wedge part and a finger guard part" and "a tool including a blade" are connected by a bevel gear, "the lock release button described in paragraph number 0008 “Issues” are resolved. However, if "a lock release button equipped with a wedge part and a finger guard part" and a "tool including a blade" are connected by a bevel gear, "(20 )' and 'the locked state of (21) in paragraph number 0029, which is (d) of FIG. 4' are impossible states. Since the mating attempts are made before the complete rotation of 180 degrees, if the accuracy is the same, the "embodiment in Figure 1 with a bevel gear added" will be more locked than the "one embodiment in Figure 1". Looseness occurs when the It becomes impossible to lock two or more "tools including blades" on the same axis.

Although the side views of one embodiment of FIGS. 1, 6, and 10 are simply superimposed, FIG. ``2 missing parts in any one of ``liners'''' and ``2 missing parts in ``tools including blades'' with numerals 19 and 20''. This figure shows how the relationship changes depending on the rotational movement of ``a tool including a blade, denoted by reference numeral 17''. From FIG. 9, it can be seen that if there is a missing part on a straight line extending radially from the axis of rotation of the "tool including the blade," which is number 17, it is easy to increase the number of "the missing parts" to three or more points. You will understand. The object of comparison in this paragraph is one embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 6, and 10 in which there is no missing portion on a straight line extending radially from the rotating shaft of the "tool including a blade" designated by reference numeral 17. If ``the lock release button comprising a wedge portion and a finger guard portion'' is of the type that rotates in parallel to the xz plane, and ``the finger guard portion'' is ``symbol 15'' The tool is of the type that is located at the front of either the handle, the liner, or the handle and liner, and there are three or more missing parts in the tool with code 17, which also includes a blade. If you want to make it a ``type'', at least the shape of the ``lock release button'' should be ``a shape like an original letter where T and L are combined in a way that shares the vertical axis when viewed from the side.'' ”. Therefore, when viewed from the side, the shape of the lock release button comprising a wedge portion and a finger guard portion is a hyphen (-) type, and “the finger guard portion If the "part" is "the type that is more forward than the "handle" or "liner" or "handle and liner" with code 15", the defective part should be placed on a straight line extending radially from the axis of rotation. This makes it difficult to increase the number of locations where the "tool including a blade", code 17, can be fixed by adding three or more missing parts to the "tool including a blade, code 17". . It should be noted that a method of increasing the number of locations where the "tool including a blade", code 17, can be fixed by adding three or more missing parts to "the tool including the blade, code 17" has already been considered. Thank you for your understanding.

In one embodiment shown in FIG. 6, "the wedge part of the lock/release button 26, 1" is made into a square pyramid shape, etc. If the shape has a surface that generates a normal force when a force in the y-direction due to rotation is applied, then the rotation of the tool 17, including the blade, will cause the tool 17 to It is possible to release the lock that is applied when ``tools including blades'' are closed. This is because, as long as the locking mechanism does not break, "the vertical force due to the rotation of the 'tool including the blade' designated by reference numeral 17" acting on the 'quadrangular pyramid-shaped wedge part' '' includes the force in the z-direction component, and also includes the vertical force caused by the rotation of the ``tool including the blade'' 17 acting on the ``wedge portion having a square pyramid shape.'' This is because the y-direction component of the drag force is canceled by the reaction from the handle or the liner or the handle and the liner, which is code 15. Unless this locking mechanism is broken, only the ``quadrangular pyramid-shaped wedge portion'' will move in the y direction due to the ``normal force caused by the rotation of the ``tool including the blade'' designated by code 17''. Never. However, it is not sufficient to simply make the "wedge part of the lock/release button 26, 1" into a quadrangular pyramid shape. (25) "The area behind the wedge portion with the code 26" is smaller than the area in front of the wedge portion with the code 26; (26) the wedge part with the code 26. It is necessary to satisfy the two conditions (25) and (26) above, that the cross-sectional area of the button becomes smaller as it approaches the axis of rotation of the lock/release button designated by code 1. It's a shame that I can't show it to you in person because I'm in a situation where I can only do trial and error in my head, but if it's hard to imagine, maybe a simplified diagram of a reverse tomography will be helpful. You might not even be looking for it, but what happens when you push the slope of a triangular pyramid object placed on a floor with zero resistance perpendicular to said floor? The model answers to the science or physics practice questions may also be helpful.

It should be noted that even if the wedge part of the lock/release button (code 26, code 1) is not made into a square pyramid shape, the wedge part of the lock/release button (code 1, code 1) does not have a square pyramid shape. When the ``tool including a blade'' number 17 starts to rotate from the closed state, the ``tool including a blade'' number 17 begins to rotate. If the "portion that violates the area in which the lock/release button moves when the lock/release button numbered 1 rotates" is made into a square pyramid shape, then "the part numbered 17 By rotating the ``tool including the blade'', it may be possible to release the lock that is applied when the ``tool including the blade'' 17 is closed''. It would be physically inaccurate to say that it ``generates'' because it is dispersed, but the reason is that ``a tool that includes a blade, which is code 17'', and ``a tool that includes a blade, which is a code 17'' When the ``tool including the blade'' with numeral 17 starts to rotate from the state in which `` is closed'', the ``tool including the blade'' with numeral 17 is locked and released as ``the tool with numeral 1''.・If the part that violates the area in which the lock/release button moves when the button rotates is square pyramid-shaped, then it is a tool with code 17, including a blade. This is because not only a y-direction component force but also a z-direction component force may be generated at the contact location between the "wedge portion of the lock/release button 26 and the lock/release button 1". It probably goes without saying, but it is important to note that the state in which the ``tool including the blade'' with the code 17 is closed'' changes from ``the tool with the code 17 is the tool including the blade'' to ``the tool with the code 17 is closed''. When the ``tool including the blade'' begins to rotate, the ``tool including the blade'' with reference numeral 17 starts to rotate. Even if the area in which the button moves is shaped like a square pyramid, the rear part of the wedge part of the lock/release button with code 26 and the lock/release button with code 1 is xz If it is parallel to the plane and "the square pyramidal part" hits "the rear part of the wedge part that is parallel to the xz plane", then "the wedge part" starts to be cut. Unless otherwise, a force in the z-direction component will not be generated even if a force due to the rotation of the "tool including the blade" designated by reference numeral 17 acts on "the wedge portion". At the very least, it is possible to change the shape of a rectangular pyramid-shaped "tool including a blade with a code 17" from "a tool including a blade with a code 17 is closed" to "a tool with a code 17 including a blade". When a certain ``tool including a blade'' begins to rotate, the ``tool including a blade'' with reference numeral 17 starts rotating, and when the ``lock release button with reference numeral 1'' begins to rotate,・The part that violates the area where the button moves is the part that comes into contact with the part that infringes on the area where the button moves. ``The rear part of the wedge part of the lock/release button with code 1, which is code 26,'' and the surface parallel to the xz plane and the lock with code 1, which is code 26.・Boundary line between the "rear part of the wedge part of the release button" and the surface parallel to the xy plane, (28) "a tool including a blade" with code 17 at 0 degrees. "The surface that is parallel to the xy plane of the rear part of the wedge part of the lock/release button numbered 26 and the lock release button numbered 1" on the side that is mated with the above (27) or (28). Just to be sure, since this paragraph is related to the derivative type of ``one embodiment of paragraph number 0033 which is a derivative type of ``one embodiment of Figure 6,'' The ``lock release button'' in the ``area in which the lock release button'' moves when the ``lock release button'' is rotated is the ``lock release button'' of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6. ”.

"The quadrangular pyramid-shaped part of the wedge part described in paragraph numbers 0033 and 0034" is code 37, and "the square pyramid-shaped part of the "tool including the blade of code 17" described in paragraph number 0034" is code 38 , and one embodiment of a type in which the lock that is applied when the ``tool including the blade'' designated by 17 is closed'' can be released by rotating the ``tool including the blade'' designated by 17. FIG.

Figure 1 shows a locking mechanism consisting of a "lock release button that has a finger guard part and a two-point wedge part" and a tool that includes a blade that has two missing parts. 1 is an exploded view of one embodiment of a folding tool incorporating a folding tool; FIG. To be sure, in FIG. 1, a blade is selected as a "tool that also includes a blade." Therefore, it can be said to be a "folding tool", but it can also be called a "folding knife". FIG. 2 is a visualization of the blind spot of the "lock release button equipped with a finger guard portion and a two-point wedge portion" shown in FIG. 1. (a) is that of FIG. (b) is the back side of the "lock release button with a finger guard part and a two-point wedge part" shown in FIG. (c) shows the "lock release button with finger guard portion and two wedge portions" shown in FIG. 1 rotated by 90 degrees. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the locking mechanism portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. (a) is a sectional view of paragraph number 0029 (19) in the locked state. (b) is a sectional view of paragraph number 0029 in which (23) and (24) are unlocked. (c) is a sectional view of paragraph number 0029 (22) in the locked state. FIG. 4 shows a combination of the components shown in FIG. (a) is one embodiment of FIG. 1 in the locked state (19) of paragraph number 0029. (b) is one embodiment of FIG. 1 in the locked state (20) of paragraph number 0029. (c) is one embodiment of FIG. 1 in the locked state (22) of paragraph number 0029. (d) is one embodiment of FIG. 1 in the locked state of paragraph number 0029 (21). (e) is an example of FIG. 1 in which locks (23) and (24) of paragraph number 0029 are unlocked and the "tool including the blade" is rotated 90 degrees. FIG. 5 shows a lock release button equipped with a finger guard portion and two wedge portions shown in FIG. Add a diagonal line of 0.2 mm to ``the part that violates the area in which the ``tool including the blade'' designated by reference numeral 17 moves.'' A diagonal line of 0.2 mm in the opposite direction is added to ``the part that fits with the missing part of the ``tool including the blade'''' of the ``lock release button'' which has a ``wedge portion''. Therefore, the "two-point wedge portion" has a mesh shape. (a) shows a ``lock release button equipped with a finger guard portion and a ``two-point wedge portion'''' at 0 degrees. (b) is a ``lock release button equipped with a finger guard portion and a ``two-point wedge portion'''' at 90 degrees. (c) is a ``lock release button equipped with a finger guard portion and a ``two-point wedge portion'''' at 180 o'clock. Figure 6 shows a built-in locking mechanism consisting of a "lock release button with one wedge part" and a tool including a blade with two missing parts. 1 is an exploded view of one embodiment of a folding tool; FIG. FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the locking mechanism portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6. (a) is one embodiment of FIG. 6 in which the "tool including the blade" is in a closed and locked state. (b) is one embodiment of FIG. 6 in which the "tool including the blade" is in a closed state and in an unlocked state. (c) is an embodiment of FIG. 6 in which the "tool including the blade" is in an open state and in a locked state. Fig. 8 shows that when the ``tool including a blade, numeral 17'' of ``the lock release button equipped with a one-point wedge portion'' in Fig. 6 rotates, ``the tool numeral 17 Add a 0.2 mm diagonal line to the area where a certain tool, including a blade, moves, and then add a 0.2 mm diagonal line to the lock release with a one-point wedge portion in Figure 6.・A diagonal line of 0.2 mm in the opposite direction is added to the part of the button that fits into the missing part of the tool, including the blade. Therefore, "the wedge portion at one point" has a mesh shape. Although the side views of one embodiment are simply superimposed, FIG. This figure shows how the relationship between the two missing parts in the tool that also includes the blade changes depending on the rotational movement of the tool that also includes the blade. (a) shows the relationship at 180 degrees. (b) shows the relationship at 135 degrees. (c) is the relationship at 90 degrees. (d) is the relationship at 45 degrees. (d) is the relationship at 0 degrees. FIG. 10 shows that in one embodiment of FIG. 6, "the wedge part of the lock/release button" is made into a square pyramid shape, and "the tool including the blade" is changed to "the tool including the blade". When the ``tool including the blade'' begins to rotate from the state in which `` is closed'', the ``tool including the blade'' changes to ``when the lock release button'' rotates. By making the part that violates the area where the lock/release button moves into a quadrangular pyramid shape, the rotation of the tool including the blade causes the blade 17 to move. FIG. 2 is an exploded view of one embodiment of the device that can be unlocked when the tool is in the closed state.
