TOOL FOR INSERTING KNIFE BLADES

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a conventional tool for inserting knife blades, to which a coming out preventing measure is given, has the following problem that the one in which the jaw top and insertion opening of a kitchen knife are shifted after inserting the kitchen knife is easy to insert the kitchen knife, but is difficult to pull out it, the one in which a cover is installed in the part of a handle requires time in taking the cover in and out, and moreover that the one in which locking is carried out by covering a part of the insertion opening has a complicated structure. SOLUTION: A semicircular insertion part is formed in the top face of a boxlike body and a fixed insertion opening is opened circumferentially in the insertion part. Moreover, a semicircular lock member is rotatably installed on the inside of the insertion part and a moving insertion opening of the same shape as the fixed insertion opening is opened in a place, which is in agreement with the fixed insertion opening in the lock member. Further after storing the kitchen knife, a lock mechanism, in which the lock member does not turn, is given to the insertion part and the lock member. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
