Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0888726A1] The pocket knife (1) comprises lateral sides (18) which serve as a handle and at least one utensil able to pivot or slide in a plane parallel to the internal faces of the sides. One of the utensils is a cigar cutter which comprises two rounded scissors arms (10,11) pivoting about a first axis (16). One end of the first arm (10) pivots about a second axis (14) enabling it to be extracted from the knife. The cigar cutter also includes a leaf spring (12) enabling the scissors arms to be held apart when they have been extracted from the knife. The leaf spring limits also the pivoting travel of the second arm about the first axis. A flexible dorsal strip (13) transmits through the leaf spring a constant force to the scissors second arm.
