Publication number: 20140260871Abstract: A fish chunking apparatus comprises a base assembly, a handle assembly, a plurality of blades, and a pressing assembly. The base assembly defines a discharge opening. The handle assembly is pivotally mounted to the base, while the blades are disposed across the base and define interstitial spaces. The pressing assembly has a first end connected to the handle assembly and a second end pivotally mounted to the base. A fish received on the blades is chunked into a plurality of sections upon pivotally manipulating the handle assembly such that the pressing assembly forces the fish against the blades until the pressing assembly is received in the interstitial spaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Richard S.

Patent number: 8689450Abstract: A knife comprising a housing and a rotating blade carriage pivotably associated with the housing. The knife further includes a compartment in which a plurality of blades can be stored and later advanced from the housing for performing a cutting action, the first end of the blade being exposed. The rotating blade carriage can be rotated with respect to the housing and placed in a second position so that the opposite end of the same blade is exposed for performing a cutting action when advanced. The rotating blade carriage can be selectively locked in the first or second position. A carriage locking lever can be accessible for unlocking the rotating blade carriage for blade reversal. When removal of the used or worn blade is desired, the knife can have one or more blade release members that allow the disengagement of the blade from the knife so that the user can manually remove the blade without the requirement of disassembly or partial disassembly of the knife.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Acme United CorporationInventors: Richard Steven Constantine, Man For Ma, Anthony Sgroi, Jr.

Patent number: 8677630Abstract: A utility knife has a receiving cavity which opens through the body. A cartridge comprising a magazine of blades is removably insertable into the receiving cavity. A carrier within the body is manually operable for receiving a blade from the cartridge and positioning the blade for extension through the opening to present a cutting edge. The cartridge may be released from the utility knife body by depressing a button and withdrawing the cartridge. The cartridge is releasably held in place within the knife body and releasable when the blade carrier is in its retracted position and the release button is depressed. When the thumb button moves the blade carrier into its extended position to expose the knife blade, the cartridge is rendered unreleaseable even if the release button is depressed.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Acme United CorporationInventors: Richard Steven Constantine, Michael E.

Publication number: 20140034648Abstract: A portable cabinet for a first aid kit is configured with a matrix of compartments. Each of the compartments has an open box-like shape defined by four panels with a generally uniform depth. One panel has a projecting retainer at an intermediate position thereof. The first aid items are contained in substantially rectangular packages which each have an aperture. The packages are closely received in corresponding compartments so that the retainer in each compartment engages into the aperture to retain the package with the compartment. In one embodiment, the cabinet employs a back plate to facilitate mounting the cabinet to a wall. The inside of the cover is also configured to receive various first aid items.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Inventors: Michael E.
