Deburring cutter
The present invention generally relates to cutting devices. Specifically, the present invention relates to a deburring cutter device. In some examples, the deburring cutter includes a handle module, a blade, and a blade cover. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the handle module includes a blade holder configured with a blade cavity having walls which are adapted to reversibly secure the blade, allowing the blade to be selectively removed.
1. A cutting device comprising:
a blade holder member having a compressible blade cavity adapted to receive at least a portion of a blade, wherein the blade cavity is formed from a single piece of material and has a top half that encloses over a top edge of the blade and a bottom half that encloses over a bottom edge of the blade; and
a locking sleeve defining an internal hollow having one or more interior walls that are angled to taper the internal hollow between a first end and a second end of the locking sleeve, wherein the first end of the locking sleeve is configured to compress the top and bottom halves of the blade cavity against the top and bottom edges of the blade disposed in the blade cavity.
2. The cutting device of claim 1 , wherein the blade holder member further comprises an actuator release protruding from a surface of the blade holder member.
3. The cutting device of claim 2 , wherein an actuator release opening is formed in the locking sleeve to receive the actuator release.
4. The cutting device of claim 1 , wherein the blade holder member further comprises a pair of elongated relief notches formed on an edge portion of the blade cavity.
5. The cutting device of claim 4 , wherein the pair of elongated relief notches define a split between the top and bottom halves of the blade cavity.
6. The cutting device of claim 5 , wherein the split defines a gap between the top and bottom halves of the blade cavity that narrows as the locking sleeve compresses around the blade cavity.
7. A cutting device comprising:
a blade holder formed with a protruding actuator release and a compressible blade cavity configured to receive a blade, and
a locking sleeve formed as a hollow channel having one or more interior sidewalls which taper between a first interior portion and a second interior portion of the locking sleeve, the locking sleeve comprising an opening configured to receive the actuator release of the blade holder and being adapted to travel along and impart a compression force on at least a portion of the blade cavity to selectively fasten the blade to the blade cavity;
wherein the actuator release prevents movement of the locking sleeve relative to the blade cavity to selectively secure the blade in the blade cavity.
8. The cutting device of claim 7 , wherein the locking sleeve is movable along the blade holder to at least a first locking sleeve position wherein the locking sleeve imparts a compression force on a portion of the blade holder to secure a portion of the blade to the blade cavity.
9. The cutting device of claim 7 , wherein the locking sleeve is separable from the blade holder to permit release of the blade from within the blade cavity.
10. A cutting device comprising:
an elongate blade holder member configured with a compressible blade cavity comprising interior walls and one or more relief notches, at least a portion of the interior walls adapted to abut at least a portion of a base section of a blade; and
a locking sleeve formed as a hollow channel having one or more interior sidewalls which taper between a first interior portion and a second interior portion of the locking sleeve, the locking sleeve adapted to travel along and impart a compression force on at least a portion of the blade cavity to selectively secure the blade to the blade cavity; and
wherein the blade holder member is formed with an actuator release configured to engage with the locking sleeve to selectively lock the locking sleeve in a predetermined locked position relative to the blade holder member.
11. The cutting device of claim 10 , wherein the locking sleeve is adapted to receive the elongate blade holder member to narrow the one or more relief notches and move the blade cavity interior walls to secure the base section of the blade to the blade cavity.
12. The cutting device of claim 10 , wherein the first interior portion of the locking sleeve hollow channel is adapted to compress the one or more relief notches to apply pressure on the base section of the blade disposed between the interior walls of the blade cavity.
13. The cutting device of claim 10 , wherein compression of the blade cavity interior walls prevents the unintended removal of the blade from within the blade cavity.
14. The cutting device of claim 10 , wherein the locking sleeve is configured to slidably engage with the blade holder member.
15. The cutting device of claim 10 , wherein the actuator release disposed on the blade holder member protrudes through an opening disposed on the locking sleeve to prevent movement of the locking sleeve relative to the blade cavity thereby securing the blade in the blade cavity.
