    Patent number: 5842402
    Abstract: A safety device with a cutting edge used with a cutting tool when cutting fabric and other similar items. The safety device designed to protect a first hand of a user of the device when a second hand is using the cutting tool. The safety device includes a base with an upwardly extending vertical protective guard. The guard is sufficient in height to protect the first hand of the user should the cutting tool accidently ride up and over the top of the cutting edge. The cutting edge includes a ruler for measuring the fabric to be cut. On one side of the base is the cutting edge with ruler for guiding the cutting tool when cutting fabric. On an opposite side of the base is a hand rest for receiving the first hand of the user. The hand rest is sufficient in width to receive the first hand on top thereof and for allowing the first hand to apply pressure on top of the fabric as it is cut.
