Desktop Cigar Cutter

Abstract

A desktop cigar cutter comprises a cutting blade assembly which can pivot in and out of a cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove of a base, on the base is further provided a control assembly for engaging with the cutting blade assembly. Between the base and the cutting blade assembly is disposed an elastic assembly with both ends pushing against the base and the cutting blade assembly, respectively. When the control assembly is disengaged from the cutting blade assembly, the cutting blade assembly will be pivoted upward into a stand-up position under the effect of the pushing force of the elastic assembly.

1 . A desktop cigar cutter comprising:
 a base formed with a cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove and an engaging groove in communication with each other, at each of two opposite inner surfaces of the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove being formed a first pivoting portion and a second pivoting portion, respectively, between the two first pivoting portions being connected a first pivot;   a control assembly disposed in the engaging groove of the base and comprising a control member and an elastic member, the control assembly being formed with an engaging flange with a guiding slope and disposed in the engaging hole, the engaging flange extending to the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove via a through hole formed at one end of the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove, the elastic member having both ends abutted against the control member and the base, respectively, so that, in normal conditions, the control assembly is pushed against the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove;   a cutting blade assembly disposed in the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove of the base and provided at both sides thereof with a pivot, respectively, the cutting blade assembly being formed with an engaging groove for engaging with the engaging flange, the pivots being inserted in the second pivoting portion for enabling the cutting blade assembly to pivot in and out of the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove; and   at least one elastic assembly being disposed at the first pivoting portion in such a manner that the elastic member has two ends pushed against the base and the cutting blade assembly, respectively.   
     
     
         2 . The desktop cigar cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second pivoting portion of the base extends downward to form a sliding groove. 
     
     
         3 . The desktop cigar cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base is formed with an abutting edge which is located adjacent to the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove. 
     
     
         4 . The desktop cigar cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a stand-up groove is formed in the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove and located between the two second pivoting portions, and next to the stand-up groove is disposed an abutting edge which is located between the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove and the stand-up groove. 
     
     
         5 . The desktop cigar cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the engaging groove of the base is provided with an inner stop portion and an outer stop portion, and the inner stop portion is adjacent to the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove;
 the control assembly further includes an engaging member and a locking member, the control member is defined with an engaging hole, the engaging flange is formed on the engaging member, and the engaging member is disposed in the engaging hole and stopped against the inner stopping portion, the engaging flange extends to the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove, the elastic member and the engaging member are inserted on the locking member, and then the locking member is inserted in the engaging hole, the elastic member has one end abutted against the control member and the engaging member and another end abutted against the outer stopping portion of the base.   
     
     
         6 . The desktop cigar cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cutting blade assembly comprises a cover, a blade-mounting seat and a blade, the cover is formed with an inserting groove and an inserting hole, the blade is mounted on the blade-mounting seat and then inserted in the inserting groove, the blade is inserted through the inserting hole, the pivots are provided at both sides of the cover, and the engaging groove is formed in the blade-mounting seat. 
     
     
         7 . The desktop cigar cutter as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising at least one pushing rod which is pivotally disposed at the first pivoting portion together with the elastic member in such a manner that the elastic member is received in an elastic-member receiving groove defined in a bottom of the pushing rod, and the elastic member has two ends pushed against the base and the pushing rod, respectively, making the pushing rod push against the cutting blade assembly.
