Folding blade knife with a system for locking the blade in an unfolding position

摘要

A system for locking a blade of a knife with a folding blade in an unfolded position includes a handle-forming part for a user to grasp, and a blade pivotably mounted relative to this handle-forming part. The blade pivots to adopt either an unfolded position for use, or a foldaway position for storage, wherein it is partially concealed in the handle-forming part. A first locking element on a top of the knife, cooperates with the blade and adopts a first position of locking the blade in the unfolded position and a second release position of the blade A second locking element cooperating with the first locking element, adopts a first position of locking the first locking element in the first locking position of the blade, and a second release position wherein the second locking element forces the first locking element to adopt the second release position of the blade.

主权项

1. A folding knife comprising:
a handle for a user to grasp the knife, a blade pivotably mounted relative to the handle and pivotable between an unfolded position for use and a foldaway position for storage within the handle, and a system for locking the blade in the unfolded position, wherein the system comprises: a leaf spring provided on a top of the knife to adopt either
a locking position in which a recess of the leaf spring cooperates with a finger provided on a heel of the blade to lock the blade in its unfolded position, ora release position releasing the blade, a first component pivotably mounted on the handle to adopt either
a locking position in which a hook of the first component cooperates with a lug provided on a lateral part of the leaf spring in order to lock the leaf spring in the locking position of the leaf spring, ora release position in which an eccentric part of the first component cooperates with the leaf spring in order to force the leaf spring to adopt the release position of the leaf spring, and the first component comprises a lever to move the first component between the locking position and the release position of the first component.
