Patent number: 4400878Abstract: A holder for an interchangeable knife blade comprising a handle, a chuck adapted to be threaded into the handle. The chuck has a bifurcated forward end defining a lengthwise slot for receiving a flat cutting blade, the bifurcated end defining a cam surface tapering outwardly toward the forward end to a major dimension. A tubular elastomeric ferrule is mounted on the chuck for longitudinal sliding movement relative to the chuck. The ferrule extends between the handle and the cam surface when the chuck is partially threaded into the bore, so that additional threading of the chuck into the bore causes the ferrule to slide forwardly over the cam surface. In this way, the forward end of the ferrule is stretched, thereby transmitting a clamping pressure against a blade which is located in the slot.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1981Date of Patent: August 30, 1983Assignee: G & S Screw Machine Products, Inc.Inventor: Richard E.

Patent number: 3996664Abstract: Knives including a cutting blade and one or more wider non-cutting runners projecting slightly beyond the cutting edge of the blade and preferably at both ends of the knife blade. The runners prevent scratching of a substrate on which the material, normally a comestible, is being cut. On each runner there is provided on either side a beveled ramp inclined toward the adjacent cutting surface which acts very much as a plowshare to push up the material being cut against the cutting blade. This prevents a thin strip of material which would otherwise not reach the cutting blade and is particularly important with comestibles such as meat, which are sufficiently tough to permit forming such a thin strip. Where knives are manufactured, the ramps or plowshares can be incorporated in the knife blade when it is manufactured. However, there is included the provision of attachable runners for knives which have already been made.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1975Date of Patent: December 14, 1976Inventor: Herbert P. Lee

Patent number: 3977079Abstract: A knife having an easily removable blade has an elongated tubular housing having front and rear ends. An elongated stem is proportioned to fit slidably in the housing, the stem widening circumferentially in tapered fashion at the front end of the housing to define a blade-holding chuck having a blade-holding slot. The chuck is circumferentially proportioned to be compressed within the housing when the stem is slid rearwardly so as to contract the width of the slot to a blade-grasping width. A toggle lever is pivotally mounted on the stem at the rear end of the housing, the lever having a beveled edge opposing the rear edge of the housing and adapted, when the toggle lever is pivotally urged to a position essentially colinear with the housing, to contact said rear edge and forcibly slide the stem rearwardly in the housing so as to contract the blade-receiving slot.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1975Date of Patent: August 31, 1976Assignee: CBS Inc.Inventor: Jerome I.
