Patent number: 9278459Abstract: An apparatus for presenting a replacement blade from a cartridge includes a body and a carrier. The body includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side, a first position and a second position laterally spaced from the first position, and a trough aligned with the second position. The carrier is slidably coupled to the body and movable between the first position and the second position. When the carrier is in the first position, the carrier couples to a blade if a blade is present in the first position. When the carrier is in the second position, the carrier decouples from the blade such that the blade is deposited in the trough, if a blade is coupled to the carrier. When the carrier moves from the first position to the second position, the carrier causes a blade to move from the first position to the second position.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Fiskars Brands, Inc.Inventor: Andrew P.

Patent number: 9186807Abstract: A device for forming a pattern in a sheet of material is provided. The device includes a base having a detent portion and a locating portion that provides a first position, a platform moveably coupled to the base, and a punch supported by the platform and configured to move between a reset position and a depressed position. The platform includes a detent element configured to engage the detent portion when the platform is proximate the first position and a locating element configured to provide fine location of the platform in the first position relative to the base by engaging the locating portion. The punch forms a pattern in a sheet of material when the punch moves from the reset position to the depressed position and a sheet of material is present proximate the depressed position.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Fiskars Brands, Inc.Inventors: Michael D.
