Abstract

A blade holder includes a housing detachably secured onto a base plate. The base plate includes a panel engaged into a notch of the housing, and includes a slot communicating with the notch of the housing. The housing includes a channel for slidably receiving a pusher. The pusher includes a shank slidably received in the slot of the housing before the housing is secured onto the base plate, without additional driving tools and fasteners. A frame is slidably engaged in the housing for moving the blades toward the pusher which may then move the blades out of the housing.

Claims
