Device and Cutting Tool for Removing Skin

Abstract

A device for removing skin has a grip section; a fastening section connected to the grip section; a blade holder arranged exchangeably on the fastening section; and a blade disposed in the blade holder and provided with at least one cutting edge. The blade holder is attachable in a direction transverse to a plane of the blade on the fastening section. The blade holder has two edges, facing away from one another, and is secured with the two edges by a positive-locking connection on the fastening section.

1 . A device for removing skin, the device comprising:
 a grip section;   a fastening section connected to the grip section;   a blade holder arranged exchangeably on the fastening section;   a blade disposed in the blade holder and provided with at least one cutting edge;   wherein the blade holder is attachable in a direction transverse to a plane of the blade on the fastening section;   wherein the blade holder has two edges, facing away from one another, and is secured with said two edges by a positive-locking connection on the fastening section.   
   
   
       2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the positive-lockingly connection comprises a first locking element formed integrally on the fastening section and a second locking element that is adapted to be released manually. 
   
   
       3 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the first locking element is integrally formed on a free end of the fastening section and wherein the second locking element is arranged on the fastening section so as to face the grip section. 
   
   
       4 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the second locking element is supported by a spring force on the fastening section and wherein said spring force acts in a direction of a locking position of the second locking element. 
   
   
       5 . The device according to  claim 2 , further comprising an actuating button connected to the second locking element in such a way that the second locking element and the actuating button are arranged on opposite sides of the fastening section which sides face away from one another. 
   
   
       6 . The device according to  claim 5 , comprising a web connecting the actuating button and the second locking element to one another, wherein the fastening section has a slotted hole through which the web passes, wherein the web is longitudinally guided in the slotted hole. 
   
   
       7 . The device according to  claim 6 , comprising a pressure element arranged in the slotted hole or in an extension of the slotted hole and supported in a springy fashion on the web. 
   
   
       8 . The device according to  claim 7 , wherein the pressure element is a coil spring. 
   
   
       9 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the web is comprised of a first and a second interlocking connecting elements, wherein the first connecting element is integrally formed on the actuating button and the second connecting element is integrally formed on the second locking element. 
   
   
       10 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening section has a step and wherein the blade holder in a longitudinal direction of the device is supported on said step. 
   
   
       11 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the blade is flexible and movable by flexing in the blade holder and wherein the fastening section has a projection that extends into the blade holder and is supported on the blade by bending the blade. 
   
   
       12 . The device according to  claim 11 , wherein the blade has longitudinal edges that are positioned opposite movement-limiting surfaces of the blade holder without being pressure-loaded by said movement-limiting surfaces. 
   
   
       13 . A cutting tool for removal of skin, the cutting tool comprising:
 a blade holder and a blade arranged in the blade holder and having at least one cutting edge, wherein the blade holder has two edges facing away from another and said two edges are provided with structures effecting a positive-locking connection to a cutting tool holder.   
   
   
       14 . The cutting tool according to  claim 13 , wherein the blade is flexible and movable by flexing in the blade holder. 
   
   
       15 . The cutting tool according to  claim 14 , wherein the blade has longitudinal edges that are positioned opposite movement-limiting surfaces of the blade holder without being pressure-loaded by said movement-limiting surfaces. 
   
   
       16 . The cutting tool according to  claim 14 , wherein the blade holder comprises a protective wall, wherein the protective wall covers the at least one cutting edge in a longitudinal direction of the blade when the blade is not bent. 
   
   
       17 . The cutting tool according to  claim 16 , wherein the blade holder has an opening that is aligned with the blade when the blade is bent and, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the blade, is sickle-shape, wherein an edge of the opening delimits the protective wall.
