Claim 1
Independent Claim
213 words
In a cutting blade holding handle having a segmented removable blade comprising a unitary generally rectangular hollow body formed of a molded plastics material and having a longitudinal slot extending through one side wall from one end thereof, a pair of facing longitudinal grooves within said hollow body terminating in an end slot through the other end of said body to slidably mount the blade to advance and retract the blade through said end slot, a series of notches formed along one edge of said longitudinal slot, and a unitary slider adapted to control the longitudinal movement of the blade, the improvement comprising a wedging member engageable with one side of the blade, said hollow body having an inclined interior wall adjacent said end slot, and said wedging member having a bevelled end engageable therewith to frictionally engage and apply a lateral pressure against the blade and means to slide said wedging member from an inactive position in which the wedging member does not apply lateral pressure to the blade to an active position wherein the wedging member is slid up the inclined interior wall adjacent said end slot and the bevelled end of said wedging member frictionally engages and applies a lateral pressure against the blade to lock the blade in position.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein said wedging member has a finger piece extending through a cutout in the side wall of said handle opposite said longitudinal slot.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device according to claim 2 wherein said finger piece is provided with a latch to releasably secure said wedging member in one of its longitudinal positions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A device according to claim 1 including an auxiliary groove for mounting said slider formed in the edge of said longitudinal slot opposite the edge having said notches.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
A device according to claim 1 in which said .Iadd.slider has a .Iaddend.finger piece .[.is.]. provided with a pair of resilient integral arms joined at their free ends to mount a detent engageable with said notches for positioning said blade at selected longitudinal positions. .Iadd.
