CHARLES E. KEERAN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
KNIFE.
Application filed .April 15, 191.
To @ZZ Iifi/2,0m -zt may concern lle it .known that I, Cuantas R. Keenan, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and @tate of Illinois, have invented certain neiv and useful lmproii'ements in Knives, of which the fol lowing is a specification.
This invention relates to l-inives of the type ivherein the bladesl are pivoted to the haft, and concerned particularly with means for opening up the blades.
Knives such as those ordinarily carried in the pocket are usually provided With a spring which bears againstthc tang of each blade to hold the blade in open or closed position. Such a knife is opened by inserting the thumb nail into a groove formed in the edge of the blade, and then grasping the blace with. the lingers to complete the opening movement, Great ditliculty is often encountered in opening' a blade in this manner, due to the fact that the thun'ib nail alone must start the blade against the tension of the spring. It is a primary object r of my invention to provide a knife, ivherein there are means for starting the blade Without the use of thc thumb nail. Other objects of my invention include the provision ol' opening means for each blade located within the haft, which are simple and reliable in operation and inexpensive of construction; means which operate Without undue friction; means which sustain each blade after boing started, in partially open position, against the tension of the spring; and means which are automatically reset when the blade is closed. These and other objects of my invention will more clearly hereinafter appear from the specification and clailns and from the accompanying d ra Wings in which Figure 1 a side elevation of a simple form of pocket knife, the blades of Which are i'irovidcd with self-opening means of the present invention g Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section, enlarged, of the bladeopening means, one end only of a single blade being exhibited;

Serial No. 91,385.
Fig. 6 is a vieiv similar to Fig. 2, showing the blade partially closed and the Wedge member reset to its normal position; and
Figs. 7 and S are transverse sections through the knife taken on lines 7-7 and 8 8, respectively, of Fig. Q.
l have illustrated in the drawings a simple form of knife comprising a haft 9, the 'ialls 10 of which are secured in place by pins or studs 11 in the ordinary manner. @ne or more blades 12 are pivotally secured to the haft, a spring 13 being also provided to hold each blade in closed or open position. The present invention may be employed with various kinds of knives, such, for example, as those in which scales are secured to linings formed upon the haft. It may also be applied to knives equipped ivith one or more blades at either end of the haft. For these reasons the description to follow Will deal with but one blade; for a plurality of blades the operative parts of my invention will merely be duplicated.. The terms init/ard7 and outward, as used hereinafter, will be understood to designate directions relatively toward and from the center of the knife.
The blade of the present invention is formed with a tang 14e reduced at its extremity 15, and provided with a hole through which a pin 16 is passed te pivotally mount the blade Within the haft. The end face 17 of the tang extremity may be flattened, if desired, to provide a resting surface for the blade when it is opened up substantially half ivay, as shown in Fig. t. `When the blade is closed there ivill be a bearing upon a hump 18 which projects from the face 19 of the tang at its extremity, the hump being situated outwardly of the pivotal center of the blade to normally hold it closed.
lll/'hen the blade is closed the hump 18 normally rests upon the inclined shoulder 29, as appears in Fig. 2, the hump and shoulder affording the principal point of engagement between the wedge member and the blade. The pressure of the spring is exerted through the roller y23 against the wedge member which in turn engages with the blade at the pointof the hump 18 lo cated outwardly of the pivotal center yof the blade, thus causing the blade to be normally held tightly in closed position.
The operation of starting the blade will be clearly understood by reference to the several figures of the drawing. yTo open the blade, pressure first is applied to the head 25 which normally protrudes slightly ybeyond the end of the haft, to impart an inward driving movement to the` wedge member. As the inner end 27 of the head is arranged to always lie slightly forward of the extremity of the spring, as shown in Fig. 2, no extraneous particles can easily enter intor the slot QG to obstruct the inward movement of thefwedge member. For the rplished by its ysliding over the roller. The roller is important chiefly inthat it aids in 1 starting more easilyr themovement of the wedge member. kl find it unnecessary on this account to extend the slot 2O further than merely to provide for the limited rolling action of the roller as described. The inward movement of the wedge member will also cause the cam surface 32 to ride upon` the sleeve roller 33, so that the wedge member ywill engage with the tang of the blade at a point situated a considerabley distance from its pivotal mounting. This wedge action is entirely suliicient to overcome the pressure of the spring communicated through the narrow neck portion of the wedge member to the hump 18, ata point relatively close to the pivotal center ofthe blade. The blade accordingly will be opened to the distance that the wedge member forces it. The tendency for the blade to close under the pressure exerted by the spring against the hump at the extremity of the tang when the kblade is in the position of Fig. 3 is resisted by the friction between the wedge member and the tang which tends yto prevent the wedge member from sliding back off of the sleeve roller 33 to normal position, so that the blade is prevented from closing when once started in the manner described. Having started the blade, the in gers can readily seize the blade to open it fully.
The position of the wedge member will remain unchanged during the further opening movement of the blade. As appears from Fig. 4, the hump 18 is required to ride up rupon the inclined shoulder of the wedge member, thereby depressing the spring in order that the blade may be swung through an arc of 900 or more. ln completely open position, the parts will be related in the manner shown in Fig. 5. It will be observed in this position that the pressure exerted by the spring is communicated to the extremity of the blade tang in such a way as to insure the maintenance of the blade in open posi-,
tion.
In the present knife it is important that the wedge-member should be automatically reset when the blade is closed. rlhis is accomplished in the following manner: lVhen the blade is moved from the position of Fig. 5 to that of Fig. 6, the portion of the tang extremity in engagement with the wedge member will be moved outwardly, thus tending by friction to move the'wedge member in the same direction until it has reached the normal position shown in Figs. 2 and G. In any other than normal position the wedge member will be resting upon both the roller and the sleeve roller 33, in rconsequei'lce of which the return movement' of the wedge member is greatly facilitated. For these reasons the closing of the bladewill automatr cally cause a simultaneous retraction of the wedge member to normal position. This re traction, moreover, will be completed in a very short space of time, being aided by the pressureof the spring and the two rollers upon which the wedge member' rides. lt is thus apparent that when the blade lis completely closed to the'position shown in Fig. 2, the wedge member will have been reset to its normal position where it is available for again starting the blade 'in the manner previ ously described.
f the blade is started to the position shown in Fig. 3, and is not further opened, the wedge member may be reset by forcibly closing the blade. Under such circumstances the beveled acting end of the wedge member will cause the wedge member to be rearwar'dly moved, and be reset in the "position shown in FigZQ. lThis is obviously a desirable end, as dtherwise theresetting `of the wedge member Could be aeedmpl'ished only by opening the blade to a substantially half way position and then closing the same.
From the foregoing deseription, as well as from the 'several figures of the drawing, it will be seen that the blade opening means are located within the haftwliere they are secure p against damage or displacement. The parts utilized fr opening the blade oecupy but little spatie. They are both simple and reliable in operation, and may be manufactured at small expense.
