Abstract:
A blade adapter for a hacksaw is connected to the spine of the hacksaw and includes three connection portions. The hacksaw blade is connected between the engaging portion connected to the handle of the hacksaw and one of the three connection portions of the blade adapter to set the hacksaw blade at two different angular positions relative to the spine. The hacksaw blade can be set to be parallel to the spine or at an angle relative to the spine. A jabsaw blade is able to be connected to the front end of the hacksaw.
Abstract:
A utility knife includes a handle and an actuator pivotably secured to the rear end of the handle and served as an auxiliary handgrip. In a storage position the actuator is fastened at the bottom of the handle. The actuator is adapted to dispose about perpendicular to the handle by pivoting such that subsequently moving the actuator axially through an axial slot of the handle will extend front portions of a blade and a blade carrier out of the handle. In this position, a user can exert a greater force in cutting an object by grasping both the handle and the handgrip.
Abstract:
A utility knife includes a housing having a compartment for receiving one or more spare knife blades, a blade carrier slidably received in the housing for supporting and moving a knife blade into and out of the housing, and a pushing device for selectively pushing and feeding one of the spare knife blades into the blade carrier without opening or detaching the housing. A pusher is slidably received in the housing and has an edge for engaging with and for moving the spare knife blade to the blade carrier, and a spring element may move the pusher relative to the housing and to offset the pusher from the spare knife blade. A hand grip may be used to move the pusher relative to the housing.
Abstract:
A hacksaw includes a frame having a chamber formed in a rear handle, an arm pivotally secured to the handle for tensioning a saw blade and having a rear oblong hole, a lever pivotally secured to the handle, and a tension rod pivotally secured to the lever and having a lower portion extended through the oblong hole of the arm. A latch has a block slidably received in the handle and has an orifice for slidably receiving the tension rod. A spring may bias the latch to engage with the lever, and may bias the arm away from the handle.
Abstract:
A knife includes two housings having a front portion for engaging with blades. One of the housings includes a projection formed in the front portion for engaging with a depression of the other housing so as to secure the front portions of the housings together. A rod is rotatably engaged in the rear portion of one of the housings. A cap is secured to one end of the rod, and a spring biases the cap to engage with the rear ends of the housings so as to secure the rear ends of the housings together. The housings can be secured together without additional tools.
Abstract:
A hand tool includes a handle and a holding member is connected to the front end of the handle. A first part is connected to one end of the holding member and is connected to a second part connected to the front end of the handle. The first part has a first recess defined transversely therethrough. A second recess and a third recess are respectively in one side of the first part and communicate with the first recess. The second recess is located between the first and third recesses. A control unit has two pins which are movably cooperated with the first, second and the third recesses. The second pin is connected to the first pin. When pushing the first pin toward the second pin, the first part is shifted from the second part so that a blade is inserted into or removed from the first and second parts.
