20140109415 | BREAKAWAY LUG DRIVE COUPLER OF ROTARY KNIFE - A rotary knife assembly includes a rotary knife with a spinning blade, a motor operable to power the rotary blade, and a flexible drive cable connected between the motor and knife to transmit rotational power to the blade. The assembly includes a safety release feature drivingly intercoupled between the motor and drive cable so as to drivingly disconnect the cable and knife from the motor when excess torque is experienced. The safety release feature is in the form of a breakaway drive lug operable to normally transmit rotational power from the motor to the knife. In the event of binding of the knife or kinking of the drive cable, excess torque serves to break the drive lug in order to disengage the motor from the knife. | 04-24-2014 |
20140105783 | DEODORIZING AND SANITIZING CONTAINER - Improved, portable apparatus for ozone deodorizing and sanitizing of clothing items such as shoes is provided having a housing sized to receive an item to be treated, together with an ozone generator and a ventilation assembly operable to deliver ozone-laden air currents into the housing. In preferred forms, the ozone generator is located within a compartment separate from the housing, and a fan assembly is used to draw ambient air currents adjacent the generator for ozone supplementation, followed by delivery of the ozone-laden air currents into the housing. | 04-17-2014 |
20130326886 | REPLACEABLE HIGH GRIP CONNECTION FOR BLADE HOUSING OF ROTARY KNIFE - A rotary knife includes a handle, a rotatable annular blade, an expandle blade housing, and a housing support. The blade housing is movable relative to the handle between a blade-securing condition, in which the blade housing securely supports the blade for rotational operation, and a relatively expanded blade-releasing condition, in which the blade housing permits removal and installation of the blade relative to the blade housing. The housing support is coupled to the handle and supports the housing in the blade-securing and blade-releasing conditions. The support and housing include interengaging surfaces that contact one another in the blade-securing condition, with at least one of the interengaging surfaces including an applied high-friction coating. | 12-12-2013 |
20130237137 | CONTAINER FOR STORING KNIFES, UTENSILS, AND THE LIKE HAVING INTEGRAL BLADE SHARPENER - A container for storing at least one object, such as a knife, utensil, and the like, wherein the object has a blade that is occasionally dressed is disclosed. The container includes a housing presenting an object-receiving opening and a blade-dressing assembly configured to provide selective dressing of the blade. The blade-dressing assembly includes a carrier and a dressing component supported on the carrier. The carrier is shiftably supported on the housing so as to move between a storage position in which the dressing surface is incapable of engaging the blade and an operating position in which the dressing surface is engageable by the blade. | 09-12-2013 |
20130156355 | REMOVABLE BEARING COVER - A bearing cover is provided for attachment relative to a bearing assembly. The cover includes a flange and a magnet associated with the flange. The magnet is configured to removably retain the bearing cover relative to the bearing assembly. | 06-20-2013 |
20130104404 | ROTARY KNIFE WITH MECHANISM FOR CONTROLLING BLADE HOUSING | 05-02-2013 |
20120030952 | ROTARY KNIFE WITH BLADE BUSHING - A powered rotary knife includes a handle, a blade housing, an annular blade, and a blade bushing for rotatably mounting the blade within the housing. The blade housing includes an inner groove that is operable to receive the blade bushing therein. The blade housing and blade bushing are split in order to expand and receive the blade. The blade includes an outer groove that is also operable to receive the blade bushing. Thus, the blade bushing is spaced between the blade housing and blade and rotatably secures the blade within the blade housing. | 02-09-2012 |
20100323591 | SELF-ALIGNING ROTARY BLADE HOLDER FOR SHARPENER - A universal blade sharpening machine is operable to securely hold and sharpen any one of multiple variously sized circular blades. The machine includes a blade-sharpening drive with an adjustable blade sharpener and also includes a universal blade holder that is rotatably powered by the drive. The blade holder includes a blade-receiving chassis that holds the blade during sharpening and is rotatable about a rotation axis of the blade holder. The chassis includes a plurality of radially spaced blade-retaining sections each associated with a respective one of the circular blades. | 12-23-2010 |
20100170097 | SAFETY RELEASE FOR DIRECT DRIVE OF ROTARY KNIFE - A rotary knife assembly includes a rotary knife with a spinning blade, a motor operable to power the rotary knife, a flexible drive cable with a proximal end drivingly connected to the knife to transmit rotational power to the blade while being flexed along the length of the cable, and a safety release drivingly connected to a distal end of the cable. The safety release is drivingly coupled to the motor and is operable to transmit rotational power from the motor to the drive cable and thereby the rotary knife. The safety release includes input and output members releasably drivingly engaged with one another. The safety release is operable to drivingly disengage the members. | 07-08-2010 |
20090124181 | KNIFE BLADE DRESSING APPARATUS - A dressing device for sharpening or conditioning of a blade or the like includes one or more disk pairs each having a pair of disks respectively presenting a plurality of ribs. The disks are oriented in face-to-face relationship with the ribs thereof in meshed, intercalated relationship to thereby create circumferential dressing openings. The ribs are configured to create sharpened edge on a knife blade or the like. | 05-14-2009 |
20090081931 | BLADE DRESSING TOOL - A dressing device for sharpening or conditioning of a blade or the like includes one or more disk pairs each having a pair of disks respectively presenting a plurality of ribs. The disks are oriented in face-to-face relationship with the ribs thereof in meshed, intercalated relationship to thereby create circumferential dressing openings.

20090075570 | UNIVERSAL ROTARY BLADE HOLDER FOR SHARPENER - A blade-sharpening machine for sharpening any one of various sizes of rotary blades comprises a drive unit and a universal blade chuck for holding the blade to be sharpened. The drive unit further includes a sharpening assembly that sharpens the blade while the drive unit rotates the blade chuck. The blade chuck includes a chassis and jaws that are circumferentially spaced about the chassis and are shiftably attached thereto for securing the rotary blade. A spring-loaded fastener normally urges the jaws radially inwardly into engagement with the blade. A centrally-positioned cam is operable to shift the jaws simultaneously so that the blade can be selectively secured on the blade chuck. | 03-19-2009 |
