  • Lock for a flip open knife, and mechanism for making same automatic
    Patent number: 8939054
    Abstract: An improvement of a folding knife locking mechanism with an adjustable wedge to remove blade slop. The present mechanism allows for smooth opening and closing of the blade by limiting friction against the blade as it rotates. This knife has a bearing system for low friction blade rotation. Also the leaf strap lock is arranged so that it only comes into contact with the blade at the start of opening and at the end of opening, further limiting the friction forces against the blade. Provided is also an adjustment wedge to remove blade lock slop. In the manufacturing process loose tolerances can be adjusted out using the adjustment wedge. Normal use wear against the stop pins and handles can cause some looseness of the blade which can also be removed by the adjustment wedge.

  • Bolster lock tool
    Patent number: 8813367
    Abstract: A folding tool includes a bolster that acts as a safety and lock release. The tool may be designed for one-hand opening. An implement is held in a stored closed position by a safety formed by the bolster and a button style lock. The implement can be opened to the ready-for-use position by rotating the bolster to release the safety, and then rotating the implement. Once the implement is open, the bolster is rotated back to its original position setting the lock for the tool.
