Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cutting device. The cutting device includes a first subassembly, a second subassembly, and a fastener. The first subassembly has a first blade and a handle. The first blade includes a circular opening. The second subassembly has a second blade and a handle. The second blade includes an elongated opening. The fastener is connected between the circular opening and the elongated opening.

Abstract: A box top opener employs a trapezoidal ceramic blade having a cutting edge which is positionable at multiple positions. A knob is rotatable to extend and retract the blade. A guide projects from a front of the cutter body to provide a guide surface engageable against the top of a box. In one embodiment, a blade carrier has a follower which traverses a spiral track for displacing the blade.

Abstract: Anti-clogging manual razor cartridge equipped with an arrangement of rollers and cutting blades arranged in an alternating manner with each other, namely, a leading roller, a leading cutting blade, a trailing roller, a trailing cutting blade and a final cutting blade. Each of the cutting blades are bent to obliquely angle two portions thereof with one of the two portions terminating into a sharpened edge. The arrangement is such that the sharpened edge of the leading cutting blade is over the leading roller, the sharpened edge of the trailing cutting blade is over the trailing roller, the sharpened edge of the final cutting blade is over the trailing cutting blade.

Abstract: A safety knife functions as both a box cutter and a separate line cutter. A slidable grip is manually displaceable between two stable safety positions. In one safety position, the grip obstructs access to a forwardly projecting blade. In a second safety position, the grip obstructs access to the line cutter.

Abstract: Self-cleaning manual razor equipped with a pair of rollers and a pair of blades arranged in an alternating manner with each other. The rollers move the hair, skin, and cream away from the blades effortlessly during the shaving process. The rollers rotate in unison with respective gears, which in turn rotate in unison because of a counter gear between them rotating in a reverse direction and whose teeth mesh with teeth of the respective gears. The self-cleaning razor may be equipped with a further blade downstream of the other two blades. A shield may be provided in the space between the lead roller and the lead blade. Side shields encase the gears to block the entry of cut hair, skin and cream to the gears.

Abstract: A low-friction hub assembly for pivotally connecting a pair of scissors or lever-like members employs a pair of cooperative hub members. A first hub member has an exterior threaded surface which threadably engages with an interior threaded surface of the second hub member. Each of the hub members has annular shoulders which engage against opposed annular surfaces of surrounding aligned pivot openings of the scissors. A locking member comprising a pair of opposed pawls engages a serrated surface to lock the subassembly. A throughbore extends through the pivot assembly.

Abstract: A safety cutter adapted to open a box or similar packaging comprises a molded elongated handle which integrally connects with a protective head that mounts a fixed blade. The head extends transversely and has a protective canopy. Exposed portions of the blade, which is preferably ceramic, are protectively disposed at opposed portions of an upper end of the handle below said head. The handle has measurement scales and a contoured thumb grip.

Abstract: A glue gun dispensing nozzle indicator changes color when a heater element exceeds a transition temperature. In one embodiment, the temperature indicator changes from a blue color to a red color to indicate that the temperature is sufficient so that the glue gun may dispense molten glue. Temperature dependent color pigments are applied as coatings to the indicator.

Abstract: An ergonomic glue pen employs a spring-loaded advancing assembly for advancing a glue stick toward a heater. When the proper temperature is reached, a trigger is depressed to dispense glue through a forward nozzle. In some embodiments, the nozzle changes color when the proper temperature is obtained. A button at the side of the glue pen is manually displaceable by the user. The glue stick is loaded at the rear of the glue pen via a one-way collet. The trigger preferably interacts with the advancing assembly via a spring-loaded ratchet mechanism.

A first hub member has an exterior threaded surface which threadably engages with an interior threaded surface of the second hub member. Each of the hub members has annular shoulders which engage against opposed annular surfaces of surrounding aligned pivot openings of the scissors. A locking member comprising a pair of opposed pawls engages a serrated surface to lock the subassembly. A throughbore extends through the pivot assembly.

Abstract: A low-friction hub assembly for pivotally connecting a pair of scissors employs a pair of cooperative hub nuts. A first hub nut has an exterior threaded surface which threadably engages with an interior threaded surface of the second hub nut. Each of the hub nuts has annular shoulders which engage against opposed annular surfaces of surrounding aligned pivot openings of the scissors. A pair or opposed pawls engages a serrated surface to lock the subassembly. A throughbore extends through the pivot assembly.
