Pipe cutting device

Abstract

Pipe cutting device comprising: a frame (1) with a housing (13) defining: a receiving chamber (15), and an outwardly facing opening (17) spatially located between the receiving chamber (15) and an external space, and a frame handle (14) connected to the housing (13); a blade (2) detachably mounted on the housing (13), comprising: a body section (21) arranged in the receiving chamber (15) and rotatable about a first axis (L1), and a cutting section (22) connected to the body section (21) and extending through the outwardly facing opening (17) into the external space; and a feed handle (5) rotatably connected to the housing (13) on a second axis (L2) parallel to the first axis (L1);characterized in that: the housing (13) of the frame (1) further defines an inwardly directed opening (16) which is opposite the outwardly directed opening (17) and is spatially located between the receiving space (15) and the outside space; the frame handle (14) of the frame (1) has a limiting section (142) which is arranged adjacent to the inwardly directed opening (16); the body section (21) of the blade (2) is provided with a slot (29);and the pipe cutting device further comprises: a spring element (4) with a pivot arm (42) extending from the frame handle (14) through the inwardly directed opening (16) and resiliently bearing against the limiting section (142), and a hook section (43) connected to one end of the pivot arm (42) and releasably engaging with the slot (29) of the body section (21), and a ratchet unit (6) arranged between the housing (13) and the feed handle (5), wherein a rotation of the feed handle (5) about the second axis (L2) causes the ratchet unit (6) to drive a rotation of the blade (2) about the first axis (L1).
