Abstract

A hose and pipe cutter for cutting rubber and plastic hoses and pipes substantially perpendicularly to the axis thereof at the point where the cut is made; comprising a holder having a substantially planar upper surface and an indent formed in the holder, and a blade secured to the upper surface of the holder so that a cutting surface projects at least part way across the indent.

Claims

1. A hose cutter comprising blade means and holder means:

said blade means being substantially planar, and formed so that a cutting edge projects laterally outwardly in the plane of the blade means from an edge thereof;

said holder means being substantially planar on at least one surface, and having handle means formed at one end thereof;

an indent formed in said holder means at an angle to said handle means;

said indent being of substantially constant lateral dimension with a semicircular inner extremity, there being wall means depending from said at least one planar surface and defining said indent;

said holder means being adapted to receive and releasably rEtain said blade means on said substantially planar surface so that said cutting edge extends substantially radially of said semicircular inner extremity of said indent.

2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said blade means is formed having hole means near one end thereof, and said holder means has pin means upstanding from said substantially planar surface adapted to cooperate with said hole means so that said blade means is rotatable about said pin means. The combination of claim 2 further comprising holding means upstanding from said substantially planar surface and forming stop means so as to stop rotation of said blade means about said pin means in one direction, said holding means being adapted so as to partially overlie said blade means.

4. The combination of claim 2 wherein said blade means has a lesser width forward of said cutting edge.

5. The combination of claim 2 wherein said wall means depends substantially vertically from said at least one planar side.
