Abstract

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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cutting device comprising:
a handle module comprising,
a blade holder having an actuator release and a blade cavity configured to hold and reversibly secure a blade;
a locking sleeve having an actuator aperture and configured to receive and engage with the blade holder to impart a compression fit on the blade cavity to secure the blade in the blade cavity, and
a tension component comprising an elongate flexible member;
wherein the actuator release is operably connected to the tension component and configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the unlocked position permits movement of the locking sleeve.

2. A cutting device comprising:
a handle module comprising,
a blade holder having a blade cavity configured to reversibly secure a blade to the blade holder,
a locking sleeve configured to selectively receive and impart a compression fit on at least an outer portion of the blade cavity to selectively fasten the blade to the blade cavity,
an actuator release operably connected to a tension component, moveable between a first position and a second position, and configured to selectively secure the locking sleeve to the blade holder; and

wherein in the first position, the actuator release is configured to secure the locking sleeve to the blade holder in a selected position, and in the second position, the actuator release permits the movement of the locking sleeve.

3. A cutting device comprising:
a blade, and
a handle module comprising,
a blade holder having a first end and a second end, the first end configured with a blade cavity having interior walls configured with relief notches and adapted to reversibly abut at least a portion of a base section of the blade to selectively pressure fit at least a portion of the blade and prevent the unintended removal of the blade from within the blade cavity, and an actuator release operably connected to a tension component disposed between the first end and the second end of the blade holder,
a locking sleeve having an actuator aperture configured to reversibly engage with the actuator release of the blade holder and comprising a substantially hollow channel having angled interior walls adapted to receive the blade holder and to impart a compression fit on the blade cavity to narrow the relief notches of the blade cavity to tightly grip and secure the blade in place within the blade cavity.

4. The cutting device of claim 3 , wherein the locking sleeve is configured to slidably engage with the blade holder.

5. The cutting device of claim 4 , wherein the blade holder includes one or more guiding protrusions corresponding to one or more track paths on the locking sleeve to direct the movement of the locking sleeve relative to the blade holder.

6. The cutting device of claim 3 , wherein the actuator release is configured to move from a first position, wherein the actuator release is configured to lock the locking sleeve to the blade holder at a selected position, to a second position, wherein the actuator release is configured to permit the movement of the locking sleeve.

7. The cutting device of claim 6 , wherein the tension component is configured to bias the actuator release to the first position.

8. The cutting device of claim 3 , wherein the tension component comprises an elongate flexible member disposed between a pair of elongate openings.

9. The cutting device of claim 3 , wherein the blade holder further includes a gripping tab.

10. The cutting device of claim 3 , wherein a first end of the blade includes a cutting section and a second end includes the base section.

11. The cutting device of claim 10 , wherein the base section comprises a top side opposing and substantially parallel to a bottom side of the base section.
