First Claim
1. A skin incision device comprising:
- a casing having a slot formed at a bottom surface thereof;
a cover positioned on said casing, said cover being slidable in a direction transverse to a plane of said bottom surface of said casing;
a blade pivotally positioned within said casing generally adjacent said slot, said blade having a pre-actuated position and a post-actuated position;
an actuator means anchored to said casing, said actuator means being actuatable by slidable movement of said cover toward said bottom surface, said actuator means for converting transverse movement of said cover into horizontal movement of said actuator means, said actuator means engaging said blade at said pre-actuated position through said post-actuated position such that at least a portion of said blade extends outwardly of said slot during the movement between said pre-actuated position and said post-actuated position; and
a carriage means anchored to said casing and pivotally attached to said blade, said carriage means for guiding movement of said blade from said pre-actuated position through said post-actuated position.

Abstract
A skin incision device has a casing having a bottom surface with a slot formed therein, a cover positioned on the casing and slidable in a direction toward the bottom surface, a blade positioned in the casing adjacent the slot, an actuator cooperatively positioned between the cover and an interior of the casing, and a carriage element. The actuator engages the blade by its horizontal displacement triggered by the slidable movement of the cover toward the bottom surface of the casing. The carriage element guides the movement of the blade between a pre-actuated position and a post-actuated position. The blade moves outwardly through the slot, cuts with a horizontal movement, and returns inwardly through the slot.

20. A skin incision device comprising:
-
a casing having a slot formed at a bottom surface thereof;
a cover positioned on said casing, said cover being slidable in a direction transverse to a plane of said bottom surface of said casing, said casing having a generally open end opposite said bottom surface thereof, said casing having sides extending upwardly from said bottom surface, at least of one said sides of said casing having a barb extending outwardly therefrom, said cover having a wall extending over a portion of the side of said casing, said wall having a first retaining slot formed therein and a second retaining slot formed therein above said first retaining slot;
a blade pivotally positioned within said casing generally adjacent said bottom of said casing, said blade having a pre-actuated position and a post-actuated position, said barb engaging said first retaining slot when said blade is in said pre-actuated position, said barb engaging said second retaining slot when said blade is in post-actuated position;
an actuator means positioned in said casing and actuatable by slidable movement of said cover toward said bottom surface, said actuator means for converting transverse movement of said cover into horizontal movement of said actuator means, said actuator means engaging said blade at said pre-actuated position through said post-actuated position such that at least a portion of said blade extends outwardly of said slot during the movement between said pre-actuated position and said post-actuated position; and
a carriage means anchored to said casing and pivotally attached to said blade, said carriage means for guiding movement of said blade from said pre-actuated position through said post-actuated position.
