Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to cigar cutters, and in
particular to a cigar cutter which has two blades at two sides. The
blades can move inwards to a fixed position and to cut a cigar and
moreover, the two blades is movable outwards by an easy operation
with slightly force applied thereto so that a cigar can be inserted
into a hole in the cigar cutter for being cut.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Many cigar cutters exist in which one or two blades push
through a cigar. Such cutters can be appropriately called
guillotine or double-guillotine cutters. These types of cutters
suffer from the deficiency that they can crush, squash, or
otherwise deform the cigar as they cut it. They can also tear the
wrapper leaf or the endcap of the cigar as the blades are forced
through the cigar.
[0003] In one prior art a cigar cutter, the cigar cuter comprises a
frame with a slot and a hole therethrough, said frame having two
sides which are parallel to each other, said frame being teardrop
shaped, which slot has a rectangular cross section, and which hole
is perpendicular to the slot and is sized to accommodate a cigar
tip; and two blades, each blade with a hinge end and a cutter end,
said cutter end having two edges, the first of which said edges is
sharp and the second of which is dull, said blades hingeably
coupled with each other and said frame and operably mounted so that
said blades slide through the slot in said frame and effectuate
movement of first edges of said cutter ends of said blades across
each other scissors-like, said blades crossing at the hole in said
frame.
[0004] Furthermore, in another type of cigar cutter exists in which
a part of the cigar cutter can be pivotally displaced with respect
to another part of the cigar cutter. In the course of this pivoting
movement, the cutter's blades are subjected to a rotational
movement corresponding to the pivoting movement and concurrently to
a translational movement, thus progressively effecting the cutting
of the cigar. In the alternative, the cigar cutter includes a lever
that is turnable. By pivoting the lever, the cutter's blades are
moved circularly in a hypocycloidal path. Both embodiments produce
a peripheral cutting action at the same time that the blades
penetrate into the cigar.
[0005] In view of the art, a need exists for a cigar cutter in
which the application of a squeezing force causes the cutter's
blades to cut a cigar in a manner intended to avoid substantial
deformation and tearing of the cigar.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is
to provide a cigar cutter, which has two blades at two sides. The
blades can move inwards to a fixed position and to cut a cigar and
moreover, the two blades is movable outwards by an easy operation
with slightly force applied thereto so that a cigar can be inserted
into a hole in the cigar cutter for being cut.
[0007] To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a
cigar cutter mainly formed by a bottom sheet, a left blade, a right
blade and an upper sheet. The four sheets are locked by a stud,
while the left and right blade are movable with respective to the
bottom sheet. The centers of these sheets have holes which are
aligned. When a cigar passes through the hole, the two blades can
move inwards to cut the cigar. A skilled design mechanism is formed
in the four sheets so that as the two blades can be received within
the two blades in a storage state. When it is desired to insert a
cigar into the holes of the sheets, the two blades can be
compressed inwards, and than the blades will resilient outwards by
resilient forces of springs.

The restore spring 50 is installed between a wall of the notch 48
of the right blade 40 and a wall of the notch 39 of the left blade
30. A perspective view of the assembled cigar cutter according to
the first embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in
FIG. 2.
[0029] The operation of the present invention will be described
herein. Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, 5, and 6, as the left blade 30 and
right blade 40 move inwards to be within a space formed between the
bottom sheet 10 and the upper sheet 20. To an extreme position, the
soft locking block 47 will enter into the recess 36 of the left
blade 30 to be buckled by the nose 37 in the recess 36. Then the
two blades 30, 40 are retained in a buckling state. As illustrated
in FIG. 3, the cigar cutter of the present invention is formed as a
rectangular shape. At this moment, the spring 50 is at a compressed
state. The half round cutting edge 44 of the right blade 40 and the
half round cutting edge 34 of the left blade 30 will combined with
as a hole with a size smaller than that of the round hole 21, 11 of
the bottom sheet 10 or the upper sheet 20 so as to cut a cigar (not
shown) passing through the round holes. When a further compressing
force is applied to the left blade 30 and the right blade 40, the
two blades are compressed further, while the spring 50 will suffer
from a greater compressing force. When the compressed force applied
to the two blades 30, 40 is released, the spring 50 will apply a
resilient force to the two blades 30, 40 to make the two blades 30,
40 move outwards. Since the soft locking block 47 is soft, the soft
locking block 47 deforms and easily unbuckled from the nose 37 in
the recess 36. Thereby, the cigar cutter is at a releasing state as
illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. The operation is very easy and only a

screws serves to lock the bottom sheet 100; the cambered combining
block 300 and the upper sheet 200; each of the folded sides 402,
502 of the left blade 400 and the right blade 500 is locked by two
screws. The left elastic sheet 801 is received in the left trench
705 of the pad sheet 700. The right elastic sheet 803 is tightly
installed in the through hole 701 of the pad sheet 700. The upper
elastic sheet 802 has the lower protrusion 805 embedded in into the
lock hole 804 of the right elastic sheet 803. The second spring 900
is installed between a left edge of the through hole 701 of the pad
sheet 700 and a right edge of the right elastic sheet 803 so as to
retain the right elastic sheet 803 to the pad sheet. A perspective
view of the assembled cigar cutter according to the first
embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 8.
[0043] Operation of this embodiment will be described herein.
Referring to FIGS. 9, 10, 11 and 12, as the left blade 300 and
right blade 400 move inwards to be within a space formed between
the bottom sheet 10 and the upper sheet 20; to an extreme position,
the protrusion of the left elastic sheet 801 will buckle the
recessed notch 407 at the lower edge of the left blade 400 so as to
retain the left elastic sheet 801 in position. The left elastic
sheet 400 will retain the right elastic sheet 500 in position. As
illustrated in FIG. 4, the cigar cutter of the present invention is
formed as an oblong shape. At this moment, the restore spring 600
and the second spring 900 are at a compressed state. The half round
cutting edge 404 of the right blade 400 and the half round cutting
edge 504 of the left blade 500 will overlap to seal the round hole
201 101 of the bottom sheet 100 or the upper sheet 200 so as to cut
a cigar (not shown) passing through the round holes. When a further
compressing force is applied to the left blade 300 and the right
blade 500, the two blades are compressed further, while the spring
500 will suffer from a greater compressing force. When the
compressed force applied to the two blades 300, 500 is released,
the restore spring 600 will apply a resilient force to the two
blades 300, 500 to make the two blades 300, 500 move outwards.
Since left elastic sheet 801 is made of soft material, the
protrusion of the left elastic sheet 801 will unbuckle from the
recessed notch 407 at the lower edge of the left blade 400.
Thereby, the cigar cutter is at a releasing state as illustrated in
FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. The operation is very easy and only a slight
force is needed for unbuckling operation due to the installation of
the spring.
[0044] The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious
that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not
to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the
present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious
to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the
scope of the following claims.
