| 20090300924 | Paper trimmer with adjustable stop - A trimmer to cut a backing on which an overlay (e.g., a photograph) is mounted. The trimmer includes cutting blades by which to accurately trim the backing so that neat, uniform borders are formed all around the overlay. A removable fence has a stop that runs longitudinally across a work surface of the trimmer. The fence is carried by a pair of risers that are capable of moving between at-rest and elevated positions relative to the work surface. A rotatable lever arm is coupled to the risers by a linking cam rod. The stop of the fence normally lies flush against the work surface to block the backing and the overlay mounted thereon from moving past the fence to the cutting blades. When the lever arm and linking cam rod are rotated in a first direction, the risers are caused to move by the linking cam rod upwardly from the work surface to the elevated position and the stop of the fence is lifted upwardly and off the work surface to create a gap therebetween. The gap is sized to permit the backing to move past the fence to the cutting blades to be trimmed. When the lever arm and linking cam rod rotate in an opposite direction, the risers move downwardly toward the work surface to the at-rest position, and the stop carried by the fence is lowered against the backing to prevent the overlay from moving to the cutting blades, so that only the backing will be trimmed. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090094842 | Device for Opening Envelopes - A device for opening an envelope is disclosed.

The rabbet edge guide is disposed along one edge of the handle body and comprises a rabbet with an extending rear face. Adjacent the rabbet on the front face of the holder body is a blade holder mechanism comprising a V-shaped indentation in the holder body and a securing mechanism for a blade. In use, a blade is secured to the blade holder mechanism so that a cutting edge of the blade extends beyond the holder body and into the rabbet, parallel to the extending rear face. A rabbet cut is made in a ceiling tile by pressing the rear face of the holder body against the edge of the tile to be cut, and running the blade along the tile, to create a straight cut that penetrates only a portion of the depth of the tile. The tile is then rotated 90 degrees, and another cut is made into the edge of the tile, with the rear face of the holder body resting against one of the faces of the tile. The two cuts intersect so that a section of the tile is cut away, creating the required recessed edge. | 03-05-2009 |
