A knife with a guard width to arm width ratio >30%
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11919178B2) describes a unique knife design comprising a blade and a handle assembly that is rotatably coupled to the blade. The handle assembly includes a side frame, a handle frame, a locking arm, and a guard. The locking arm is angularly movable between locked and unlocked positions, with the guard overlaying at least a portion of the locking arm. The key feature of this knife is the ratio of the guard width to the arm width along the length of the guard, which must be greater than 30%.
Furthermore, the patent details variations in the ratios of guard width to arm width and guard length to arm length along the length of the guard. The design ensures that the guard restricts outward rotation of the locking arm beyond the unlocked position and maintains a flush alignment of the outer surfaces of the side frame, guard, and locking arm when in the unlocked position. Additionally, the guard includes a grip feature and the locking arm has an arm recess to receive a portion of the guard when in the unlocked position. Overall, the patent highlights a novel knife design that prioritizes the relationship between the guard and locking arm dimensions to enhance functionality and user experience.
