Material removal tool

摘要

A material removal tool is provided. The material removal tool includes a handle that defines a chamber. A linear actuating mechanism is positioned within the chamber of the handle. A blade is rotatable or pivotable relative to the handle. The blade and linear actuating mechanism are coupled together such that the linear actuating mechanism selectively rotates or pivots the blade relative to the handle.

1. A material removal tool defining a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, the longitudinal and transverse directions being perpendicular to each other, the material removal tool comprising:
a handle that extends between a first end portion and a second end portion along the longitudinal direction, the handle defining a chamber at the second end portion of the handle; a linear actuating mechanism positioned within the chamber of the handle; a material engagement assembly mounted to the handle at the second end portion of the handle, the material engagement assembly comprising
a blade;a frame; anda hinge rotatably mounting the blade to the frame such that the blade is rotatable on an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation being substantially parallel to the transverse direction; a cam rotatably mounted to the frame; and a linkage assembly coupling the linear actuating mechanism to the cam such that linear motion of the linear actuating mechanism rotates the blade on the axis of rotation.
