Problems solved by technology

[0004] One disadvantage of this folding sheath is that the upper and lower sides are configured to engage the blade positioned in the sheath along the side of the blade near the edge of the blade
This construction can result in a loose grip on the blade, especially if the thin blade of the blade is secured between the upper and lower edges of the folded sheath
Another disadvantage of folding sheaths is that the force applied by the blade to the fold seam formed in the sidewall of the sheath may cause the folded members to separate and inadvertently expose the blade to the user
Correct positioning of the blade within the folded sheath does not ensure that the blade will be secured in a manner that prevents the blade from accidentally slipping out of the sheath due to the opening between the upper and lower sides

Embodiment Construction

[0037] While the invention is susceptible to many different forms of embodiment, there are shown in the drawings and will hereby describe in detail preferred embodiments of the invention, it being understood that the invention is to be considered as exemplary of the principles of the invention, and It is not intended to limit the broad aspects of the invention to the illustrated embodiments.

[0038] The present invention relates to protective sleeves for removably securing blades, such as blades of knife objects or similar tools. The case of the present invention provides a convenient display package for retail or commercial use, while also providing a means for convenient storage. The sheath is preferably formed in one piece including a cavity for receiving the blade within the sheath. The sheath prevents exposure of the blade while attempting to minimize safety risks when not in use (eg, potential injury to a user attempting to retrieve the blade from a drawer, cabinet, to...

Abstract

A protective sheath is provided for removably securing a blade within the sheath. The sheath includes walls forming a cavity to receive the sheath within the cavity. The sheath also includes a concave detent portion having at least one arm for removably and frictionally securing the blade within the sheath so as to prevent inadvertent or unintended removal of the blade from the sheath.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter relates to a protective sheath for a knife blade, and more particularly, to an integral sheath having an integral securing structure. Background technique [0002] A variety of holsters for blades have been proposed for storing the blades of kitchen knives, kitchen utensils and various other implements. Such sheaths include various structurally separate structures, such as straps, clips and clamps, for securing the blade within the sheath. Other sheaths have been proposed whose shapes are difficult or expensive to manufacture. [0003] Folded sheaths are known, wherein the sheath is formed by folding a sheet to form two halves, ie an upper half and a lower half. A folded sheath includes a closed side where a sheet is folded and an open side where the ends of the sheet meet to form upper and lower sides. The open end where the upper and lower sides meet is configured to hold the blade between the two sides. [0004] One disadvanta...
