Patent number: 9296548Abstract: A dispenser for utility-knife blades has a longitudinally elongated housing having a longitudinally forwardly open front end and a pair of transversely confronting inner faces each formed with a flat front portion terminating at the open front end and a flat rear portion. Each front portion is offset transversely outward from the respective rear portion and forms therewith a respective longitudinally forwardly directed shoulder. A slide in the housing is formed with a transversely throughgoing compartment adapted to hold a stack of the utility knife blades. The slide is shiftable between a rear position with the stack of blades resting by gravity on the rear portion of whichever inner face is directed upward and a front position with the stack resting on the front portion of the upwardly directed inner face and forward of the shoulder of the upwardly directed inner face. The offset is equal generally to a thickness of a single blade.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2010Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: MARTOR KGInventor: Peter Schekalla

Patent number: 8732957Abstract: A knife has a housing, an operating part shiftable on the housing between advanced and retracted positions, and a blade holder connected to the part and carrying a blade. The holder is shiftable on the part between offset first and second cutting positions with the blade projecting from the front end and a safety position with the blade recessed in the housing rearward of the front end. A spring biases the holder into the safety position. A brace element can shift between a position braced between the blade holder and the housing in the first cutting position and a position out of engagement with the blade holder or the housing in the second cutting position. The brace element when engaged holds the blade in the first cutting position but in the second cutting position is disengaged so the spring returns the holder to the safety position.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Martor KGInventor: Martin Rohrbach

Patent number: 8707566Abstract: A knife has a blade holder in a housing adapted to hold a blade and shiftable between a first cutting position with the blade projecting a little from the housing and a second position projecting somewhat more from the housing. An actuating element shiftable in the housing between a starting position and an actuating position is effective on a connecting linkage such that in a first orientation force is transmitted to the blade holder to retain the blade holder against moving into its retracted safety position from its first cutting position and in the second orientation the linkage does not prevent the blade holder from moving into its safety position from its second cutting position.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Martor KGInventor: Martin Rohrbach

Patent number: 8468702Abstract: A knife has a pair of housing parts relatively shiftable between an open position and a closed position and a base on one of the housing parts forming a blade seat. A holding arm mounted on the base is movable relative thereto between a blade-holding position retaining a blade in the seat and a blade-change position freeing the blade so that in the blade-change position the blade can be switched. Interengaging formations on the other housing part and on the arm shift the holding arm from the blade-holding position into the blade-change position on movement of the housing parts from the closed position into the open position.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Martor KGInventor: Wolfgang Doeren
