Abstract

A cutter blade dispenser and disposer with slide biasing means and side located dispensing slot comprising a body, a sliding block and a side compartment. The body is a trapezium case and can room a plurality of blades, an elongate slit rail is disposed on top of the body, inside the body has a pillar for an elastic element to sleeve on, an elastic block is disposed on top of the opening of the body. The sliding block is in trapezium shape for fitting inside the body with an inclined piece and a pressing block disposed on its top. The side compartment is also in trapezium shape and can cover the opening of the body, a locking hole is disposed on top of the side compartment with a sliding hole and an elongate slit on its one side. The sliding hole and the elongate slit are in one through passage. A storage board is disposed underneath the sliding block and inside on the bottom of the body. The storage board has a protrusion bar on its each side for placing the blades in decency and order. A plurality of protruded pieces are disposed on one end of the storage board to limit and stop the sliding block. Accordingly, put the sliding block inside the body and slide it so that the sliding block bounces back out because of the elasticity provided by the elastic element. The storage board is then being pushed outside the opening of the body to a distance, the storage board can be pulled more outside for placing the blades. Thus to achieve the purpose of more convenient and safer storage and disposal of said blades.

Claims

1. A cutter blade dispenser and disposer with slide biasing means and side located dispensing slot comprising:

a body, a sliding block and a side compartment, said body is a case with a trapezium space for storage of a plurality of blades and the trapezium space is defined by a closure at one end and an opening at another end, an elongate slit rail is disposed on top of said body, inside said body has a pillar for an elastic element to sleeve on, an elastic block is disposed on top of the opening of said body, said sliding block is in trapezium shape for fitting inside said body, a hole penetrates through said sliding block with an inclined piece and a pressing block on said sliding block'"'"'s top, said side compartment is also in trapezium shape and can cover said opening at one end of said body, a locking hole is disposed on top of said side compartment with a sliding hole and an elongate slit on the trapezium shape plane of said slide compartment, which said sliding hole and elongate slit are in one through passage, said elongate slit has an upper as well as a lower protection bar and is wider than said sliding hole, a pushing piece can slide through said elongate slit and said sliding hole, said pushing piece has a plurality of arrow-shaped tenons for sliding inside said sliding hole, said elongate slit, a side piece is extended from said pushing piece, said side compartment has a blade slit opening, a storage board is disposed underneath said sliding block and inside on the bottom of said body, said storage board has a protrusion bar on its each side to place said blades in decency and order, a plurality of protruded pieces are disposed on one end of said storage board to limit and stop said sliding block, accordingly, put said sliding block inside said body and slide it so that sliding block is biased back because of the elasticity provided by said elastic element, said storage board is then being pushed outside said opening at one end of said body, said storage board can be pulled more outside for placing said blades, said side compartment can cover said opening said opening at one end of said body, thus to achieve the purpose of more convenient and safer storage and disposal of said blades.

2. A structurally improved cutter cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein a slit is disposed by each side of said inclined piece on said sliding block to provide a flexible cantilever for said inclined piece to return to original position, said pressing block on said inclined piece can lock into said locking hole or slide through said elongate slit rail.

3. A structurally improved cutter cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein an elastic block on said body has a slit by each side forming a flexible cantilever capable of locking inside said locking hole of said side compartment.

4. A structurally improved cutter cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein each of said protection bars of said side compartment has a trough facing towards each other for said pushing piece to slide inside.

5. A structurally improved cutter cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein said side piece of said pushing piece is inclined so as to just fit the angle degree of said blades.

6. A structurally improved cutter cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein said pushing piece has a gripping piece for convenience of pushing said pushing piece.

7. A structurally improved cutter cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein a plurality of cushioning bars are disposed inside on the upper and lower side of said elongate slit and said sliding hole of said side compartment for said pushing piece to push out said blades.

8. A structurally improved cutter cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein one of said protrusion bars has an indentation in correspondent to said blade slit opening of said side compartment for said blades to come through.

9. A structurally improved cutter cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein a concave surface is disposed underneath said sliding block for stopping said protruded piece of said storage board.
