Description

The inventionThe invention relates to a mechanical shut-off device integrated on the protective sheath for fixed blade knives.In the following, all types of fixed blade knives are always designated as knives, which can usually also be carried along in the knife pocket of a pants such as traditional leather pants, occupation pants and sport pants. These are, for example, types such as trachters, hirscapers, stylets, nickers, survival knives, diving knives, kitchen knives.Various suitable designs of separate commercially available key-coded or number-lock-coded locks, such as, for example, padlocks or suitcase locks with metal brackets or wire brackets, can be used.Prior ArtThere are already cases for knives which can be shut off for transport, but the advantage of a shut-off device directly on the knife sheath is that the knife can be shut off without a separate container such as box, suitcase, backpack... The protective sheath is necessary in any case with this type of knife in order to protect itself from injuries during knife transport or during knife storage. Also, the knife blade is protected.Advantage of the InventionThe eye mark is primarily directed at the blade of the knife. This component is then secured against unauthorized removal by the shut-off. The knife blade can be put into operating condition only by the authorized user when used as intended. Moreover, when secured with a padlock, the knife can be additionally secured to a button hole, eyelet, belt or other suitable item with or without the aid of a chain against loss or unwanted waste.In the case of road trains as well, such knives are carried along or brought home simply after a knife has been purchased in a shop.

These can be carried out with the knife closed not by more than three handles and only by more than 3 seconds of preparation.However, since the definition "guiding a knife" is not explicitly defined by the legislator and can also be changed at any time, this advantage should be applied only with caution. Moreover, the country-specific and regional laws must always be taken into account here.Finally, a closed knife also serves for safety. Since it cannot be used as a weapon against the ownership or third party in the case of a misappropriation.Explanations on the SketchesFIG. 1 No. 1 Knife blade No. 2 Knife tack / knife grip FIG. 2 No. 3 Protective sheath with locking eyes No. 4 Locking eyes for placing the hoop lock.
