Abstract

A cutter for cutting a pattern in a substrate, said cutter having a base and guide pins disposed on the bottom of the base. The guide pins are placed in a groove on a template. A longitudinally adjustable member supports a blade unit for cutting the pattern into the substrate, where the adjustable member is configured to be slidably positioned within a center track opening region movable towards and away from the guide pins.

Claims (21)

1 . A cutter for cutting a pattern in a substrate, said cutter comprising:

a base;

guide pins disposed on the bottom of the base, said guide pins configured to be placed in a groove on a template; and

a longitudinally adjustable member configured to support a blade unit for cutting said pattern into said substrate, wherein said adjustable member is configured to be slidably positioned within a center track opening region movable towards and away from said guide pins.

2 . The cutter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said adjustable member further comprises a spring biased member located on its upper surface, said spring biased member being configured to lock within a corresponding openings within said center track opening region of said base.

3 . The cutter as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said center track opening region of said base maintains a plurality of corresponding openings configured to accept said spring biased member.

4 . The cutter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said spring biased member is a ball bearing.

5 . The cutter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said blade unit further comprises an adjustment means so as to adjust its height of a blade against said substrate.

6 . The cutter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said blade unit of said adjustable member is configured to fall within a central opening of said template.

7 . The cutter as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said template further comprises a depth insert, said depth insert configured to fit within said central opening, allowing a user to measure the depth of said blade unit on said substrate.

8 . A cutter for cutting a pattern in a substrate, said cutter comprising:

a base, configured to be placed on a template; and

an adjustable member, wherein said base is provided with first and second wing shaped handles, extending from said base, substantially perpendicular to said adjustable member, configured to rest on top of said template, such that when said template is placed on a substrate and said cutting tool is placed on said template, pressure can be applied to said wing shaped handles so as to allow said cutting tool to be moved around said template, cutting the desired pattern into said substrate.

9 . The cutter as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said wing shaped handles further comprise pressure points, located distal to said base, configured to provide a gripping area so as to apply downward pressure to said cutter against said template.

10 . The cutter as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said base further comprises a pair of guide pins configured to be positioned within a guide tracking groove on said template.

11 . The cutter as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said adjustable member is slidably positioned within a central track region of said base, movable towards and away from said guide pins, so as to allow a user to adjust the depth blade within a central opening of said template.

12 . The cutter as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said adjustable member further comprises a spring biased member located on its upper surface, said spring biased member being configured to lock within a corresponding openings within said center track opening region of said base.

13 . The cutter as claimed in claim 12 , wherein said center track opening region of said base maintains a plurality of corresponding openings configured to accept said spring biased member.

14 . The cutter as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said spring biased member is a ball bearing.

15 . The cutter as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said base further comprises a swivel handle.

16 . The cutter as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said blade unit further comprises an adjustment means so as to adjust its height of a blade against said substrate.
