Abstract: A carpet cutting tool used from a standing position that has an ergonomic handle member as well as a telescopic auxiliary handle member to guide and support the device and that further has a blade housing body attached to a height adjustable guard plate member which houses a utility blade therein at an angle for cutting carpet.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for cutting tape on a hockey stick blade is disclosed. The apparatus includes a body for holding the apparatus, a ski including a front edge and a bottom surface, and a cutting blade arranged generally upright relative to the bottom surface of the ski. The cutting blade may include a cutting edge disposed at an acute angle relative to the bottom surface of the ski, the cutting edge positioned proximate to the front edge of the ski.

Abstract: A hand held, manually driven cutting device comprises a two part substantially inverted āVā shaped body. The two body parts assemble to form an ambidextrous graspable handle, and a pair of axled wheels attach to the outer surface of a rear leg and a front leg of each body part. The dividable body is dismantled to receive a detachable blade that when affixed has its cutting edge protruding beneath the assembled body midway between the two rear wheels. Also mounted beneath the assembled body is a combined safety shield and material lifting element provided with a flow passage. Four wheels to the assembled body are configured with one wheel on either side of the front lower distal, one wheel either side of the lower rear body. During the cutting process the lamina material lies above the lifting and supporting element and below the rear wheels.
Abstract: A tape dispenser of the type having a cutting blade mounted on the upper end of a cutting bar with a cutting bar face below and generally parallel to the blade and a blade guard slidably mounted on the cutting bar face for movement between blade-covering and blade-exposing positions. A spring tension element is positioned on the blade guard so that it tends to push a lower end of the blade guard away from the cutting bar face and to push an upper blade-covering end of the blade guard toward the cutting bar face when the blade guard is in the blade covering position.
Abstract: An emergency safety-belt cutter is provided with frame having an opening. A slide is disposed within the frame opening for receiving and closely supporting the safety-belt. The slide constrains the safety-belt to keep the safety-belt from wrinkling during the cutting movement of said blade. A cutting blade having a cutting edge is attached to the frame and protrudes into the opening. The blade engages and cuts the safety-belt supported in the slide upon movement of said frame transversely over said safety-belt. Furthermore, a guard means is detachably secured to the frame to prevent cutting the safety-belt during inadvertent pulling of the frame. The guard means includes a sheath positioned in front of the cutting blade cutting edge to protectively sheath the blade. The guard means is detachable from the frame to unsheathe the cutting edge to permit cutting of the safety belt.
Abstract: A protective shield for a free-cutting tool having a rotatable cutting head with a cutting thread that extends radially upon rotation of the cutting head and thus defines a cutting plane, has a support section for fixedly connecting the shield to the tool above the cutting plane. A circumferential wall is connected to the support section and extends about a portion of the circumference of the cutting plane. The circumferential wall extends axially from the support section to at least the cutting plane and has axially extending lateral edges arranged perpendicular to a direction of rotation of the cutting head. The lateral edges each have a round transition into a bottom edge of the circumferential wall. A crosscutting blade for cutting to length the cutting thread is connected to the inside of the circumferential wall at its leading portion in the direction of rotation. The crosscutting blade extends over the axial height of the circumferential wall.

Abstract: In a scrub-clearing tool of the type comprising a tube, a blade supported for rotation at one end of the tube, a motor for driving the blade and transmission shaft for connecting the drive motor to the blade, a disc is provided for protecting the blade and is mounted for rotation on the shaft of the blade with the interposition of a bearing. The protective disc has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the blade and has a plurality of recesses around its periphery, the inner edges whereof are spaced from the center of the disc by a distance less than the radius of the outer circumference of the blade. The protective disc is normally rotated together with the blade. It stops when it comes into contact with the ground or with some obstacle, while the blade can continue to rotate by virtue of the presence of the bearing.
