Hello, I'm Josh and have just discovered golf about 2 months ago a friend asked me to go to the driving range and I loved it. I've played a few rounds now and I've fallen in love it's awfully addictive! I'm from Rotherham and I'm a railway electrician.
But I have a predicament!! Stupidly i borrowed my friends dad's driver on Sunday for our round after getting frustrated with mine. He said keep it until you buy one my dad doesn't golf over winter. today at the driving range I slipped and cracked the head on a suporting beam…. I've learnt my lesson to not borrow now but I'm struggling what I should do. A nearly identical but newer model driver is on eBay for £18 but the guy obviously bought this a few years ago and had them fitted to him, so I can't imagine the price back when he bought them and his son is saying just get what you think. Any ideas?
Sorry for the boring post, nice to meet you all!
Oops! what a predicament indeed. what brand is it? I'd suggest just buying the one off of eBay but if he's been custom fitted you may have a problem

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks' Kirk Gibson: 'Nobody ever wants to see anybody get hurt'
The Arizona Diamondbacks are garnering some national criticism for the retaliation tactics, particularly after Randall Delgado plunked Pittsburgh Pirates star Andrew McCutchen in the back Saturday at Chase Field.
Manager Kirk Gibson said the team, despite its losing record, has vowed to continue to compete and not let other clubs run all over them.
"We've kind of affirmed together that we're going to stick together and that we're going to play hard the whole rest of this year, regardless of how bad of a start we had," Gibson told Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM on Tuesday. "We're not going to cash in and say our season's over. There are elements that happen within any given game (that) you can look all around the big leagues that happen. People get hurt many different ways. Nobody wants anybody to get hurt; there's never any intention for that. And I know there's a lot of conversation around. I understand that, and that's great for people who have interest and want to defend whatever party they decide to defend."
The situation started when Arizona lost its best hitter, Paul Goldschmidt, last Friday on an inside pitch from Pittsburgh's Ernesto Frieri. Gibson, who last week became the winningest manager in club history, said throwing inside is a legitimate strategy, but there's a proper way to do it.
"They set up up and in," said Gibson. "Overall, we believe in throwing in. We don't want anybody to throw up and in, because if it gets way up and in, then things can happen — more things bad can happen. But that's a decision they make. They set up up and in, and it got him. I think Goldy handled it right. I think our team handled it right. And we went on, and we're going to go on without Goldy. We immediately figured, 'How are we going to replace him?' Well, obviously, he's irreplaceable."
Delgado's plunking of McCutchen came one in the ninth inning of the following game. Gibson said that throwing inside to sluggers — like Goldschmidt and McCutchen — gives pitchers a better chance to get them out, but sometimes pitches unfortunately get away and injure the batter.
"Sometimes, you have to throw inside to people to have an effect and maybe open the outside part of the plate up," the skipper said. "You can look at guys who hit the ball very well out over the plate; you have to throw them in. If they don't, they're going to wear you out. So that's just all part of the game. Nobody ever wants to see anybody get hurt; that's never anybody's intent to do so."
Goldschmidt could be lost for the season because of the HBP, and the D-backs manager tried to sum up what that means for the team going forward.
"Absolutely it was (devastating)," he said. "And we all felt it. But you've got to regroup. And, like I said, we'll move (Mark) Trumbo over there to first. It also is an opportunity for others to step up and prove themselves. We'll have some decisions to make here at the end of the season. And it's an opportunity for guys to go out and compete and try to make it hard for guys to get to their goals — our opponents — and make an impression for next year. We're looking for people who are championship players, and they have a great opportunity to show that."

I had a pedicure and the girl doing it cut my heel with an improper tool. I went to the doctor and he said it was starting to get infected. Now I have to stay off it. I will be on crutches and out of work for at least 3 days. What can I do?
The facts you present do not indicate if, on the day you visited the pedicure salon, you brought your injury to the attention of the owner or manager before leaving. We will presume for now you did not. It may have been because you didn't notice the cut until it worsened, or some other valid reason.
With that in mind the best thing to do is write a letter to the owner or manager of the business, sending the letter certified, return receipt requested. The letter should not be threatening in tone, nor conciliatory in its nature.
In the letter you should state the following:
1. Identify yourself.
2. Refer to the date of the injury.
3. If you know it, reference the name of the attendant who accidentally cut you. If you spoke with the manager or owner reference her name as well.
4. Give a brief summary of what occurred when you visited their shop that day.
5. Summarize the costs you expended for your medical bills and any other out of pocket expenses such as medications, bandages, and even hospital or doctors parking lot fees.
6. Mention the necessity of missing work for 3 days as a result of the attendant's use of the improper tool. Indicate the wages lost for those 3 days.
7. Ask for compensation for your actual and out-of-pocket expenses, as well as lost wages for the three days missed.
8. Add to that amount a reasonable sum for your Pain and Suffering.
Total the amounts and ask to be paid the full amount as soon as possible. Explain if the matter is not settled amicably and within 5 business days of their receipt of your letter you will regrettably seek legal action.
The above is general information. Laws change frequently, and across jurisdictions. You should get a personalized case evaluation from an attorney licensed in your state. Find a local attorney to give you a free case review here, or call (888) 647-2490.
Best of luck,
Judge Calisi

Tilting at Windmills #255: The long and diminishing tail of graphic novel series
By Brian Hibbs Here's my preface on this column, so you understand my point-of-view: I am bullish on graphic novels.

They represent […]

We're still very much in the short-term phase as I write this as the fifth issues of the initial "Rebirth" series just come out, and we're still at least a quarter, perhaps two, to see how the greater market ends up reacting over-all – but I can look at my own data and draw out a few initial suppositions.

Sales Chart: Scholastic was the #1 graphic novel publisher in bookstores and more from Bookscan
Comics Experience owner Brian Hibbs has done his annual service to the industry byanalyzing the yearly graphic novels sales charts as reported to Bookscan. This is information people normally pay thousands of dollars for so it is technically leaked info, but while it's there let's take advantage of it. As Hibbs points out, these numbers do not reflect comics shops, indie bookstores, book fair or libraries, to name but four huge outlets for GN sales. So they are not complete. However they are a metric , and one that's worth studying.
Interview: Retailer Brian HIbbs on the Minimum Wage and Surviving in San Francisco
The other day we presented a story on long running SF comics shop Comix Experience and their plans to increase revenue in the face of the local rise in the minimum wage: a graphic novel book club that's already had a positive response. It's a serious issue for small business owners, and led to a lively comments section. I reached out to Hibbs to see if he had any comments on the comments and ever loquatious, he suggested an interview. The results can be read below.
Comis Experience has two locations, the iconic Divisidero St. shop just off Haight St. site of many famed signings by creators from Neil Gaiman to Warren Ellis and an early adapter of the grahpic novel movement; and a newer more superhero focused store on Ocean Ave. that Hibbs took over from a previous business last year. Hibbs has long been one of the most vocal comics retailers. His Tilting at Windmills column at CBR is must reading and the comics review blog he started Savage Critics is, unbelievably, still running after 10 years or so. I'm grateful for him to take the time to talk about issues that are sure to become more and more pressing around the country.

This beautiful three bedroom apartment in the newly constructed Palm Beach is the ideal choice for either a family vacation, business trip or quiet getaway. With beachfront positioning but close to all amenities you have the option of joining the hustle bustle of a thriving tourist island or relaxing and taking a quiet break from it all.
The apartment is well outfitted with a comfortable open plan kitchen/living area offering a well equipped kitchen with casual seating at the granite countertop while the lounge area is spacious with comfortable seating focused on a large flat screen TV and accessible WiFi. The covered patio also offers additional outdoor seating and an outdoor dining area to make the most of the wonderful tropical lifestyle. The covered patio opens out to a small tropical garden, offering privacy, that takes you out to the vast pool and garden areas. A path meanders down from the pool to a small gate leading directly out to the beautiful golden sand and turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Each of the three bedrooms is fully air-conditioned with en suite bathrooms and the master suite opens out to the covered patio.
Please be advised that this unit is NO SMOKING.
It was a beautiful, clean, well furnished and fully equipped apartment, with everything from a coffee machine to a washer and a dryer, to cable tv with all the cartoon channels you could hope for, really anything you could need was available. The host was gracious and accommodating and she consistently ensured that all our needs were met. It is in a secure compound, with a beautiful garden and pool, and direct beach access. The beach is the Caribbean sea but with just enough occasional Atlantic waves for our kids to play and enjoy. Also not far are some rocks with sea creatures to explore, and for slightly more grown up entertainment, it's only a short walk away from some great restaurants. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for my family.
My family of 6 stayed in this condo for 9 days. I really hate to share this experience because I would like to keep it my own secret paradise. This condo is beautifully furnished, well stocked and just feels like home. The location is superb and this gated property is a 10+. Pools and grounds are immaculate and maintained daily. The condo is a ground floor, very spacious unit, 20 steps from the pool. The breezy outdoor space has comfortable seating and a dining table for meals or games. Set back from the main road, it is a 1 minute walk to the local transit, restaurants, local store for groceries. Speedy Wifi is provided in the rental price. The ambiance at this complex is family oriented. There is no need to save pool chairs and guests respect each others tranquility. We are already looking forward to our next stay.
We had a fantastic stay at Palm Beach 109. The owners were a delight to deal with and helped ensure we had a fantastic stay. Condo is very spacious and conveniently located right next to a gorgeous pool. Kitchen has all the amenities and we enjoyed use of the bbq on the patio. Beach access is easy with famous boardwalk a short walk away. We enjoyed long strolls on the beach and afternoons at beautiful Accra beach.
We're already booked to return in 2015!
Had a fantastic time, condo was perfect! Location was great - easy walk to local beaches, hotels, restaurants and night life!! Condo was well maintained and owner's service was great. Would highly recommend.
The South Coast of Barbados is a curious mixture of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and is more lively than the West Coast but calmer than the East or North Coasts.
It offers something for everyone - calm swimming, snorkeling over inshore reefs, surfing, and jet-skiing. Or if you are in the mood for partying, head to the famous St. Lawrence Gap, or to the popular 'Harbour Lights' for a good mixture of old tunes and pumping Caribbean music.

Midsummer by David Greig at Tricycle Theatre 29 Nov
The Traverse Theatre Company production of Midsummer [a play with songs], by David Greig and Gordon McIntyre, will open at the Tricycle Theatre, a fringe venue in Kilburn, north London, from 29 Nov 2010 to 29 Jan 2011
Directed by David Greig with design by Georgia McGuinness and lighting by Claire Elliot, Midsummer [a play with songs] was first produced at the Traverse in 2008, before playing at the Edinburgh Festival in 2009 and Soho Theatre in January 2010. This production arrives at the Tricycle following a run at the Traverse Theatre and an international tour.
Cora Bissett and Matthew Pidgeon will reprise their roles as Helena and Bob respectively.
It's Midsummer's weekend in Edinburgh. It's raining. Two thirtysomethings are sitting in a New Town bar waiting for something to turn up. He's a failing car salesman on the fringes of the city's underworld and she's a high powered divorce lawyer with a taste for other people's husbands. She's out of his league and he's not her type at all. They absolutely should not sleep together. Ever. Ever. Which is why they do.

Printing the future: MWSS-372 successfully tests 3-D printing in a field environment
Marines.mil | Nov 01 2016
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION YUMA, Ariz. (October 24, 2016) — A Humvee door handle might not seem like the start of a new era in the Marine Corps, but the Marines of MWSS-327 believe that this small piece of plastic is exactly that. Embracing Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller's recent push for Marines to innovate, MWSS-372 is one of the first units to experiment with 3-D printing.
Formally, 3-D printing was known as additive manufacturing (AM), and is the process of joining materials, layer by layer, to construct an object. Usually, manufacturing a part involves milling an object out of a larger, solid piece of material or by pouring liquid material into a preformed mold and waiting for it to solidify.
Recently, Neller published an interim policy on additive manufacturing in the Marine Corps, the entirety of which is in Marine Administrative Message 489/16. In it, he imposes safety protocols for specific situations, such as requiring that a printed part will be used on a configuration controlled system be rendered in a bright color to distinguish it from the original equipment it is used with. However, the Maradmin is also a call for all Marines to explore the potential benefits of 3-D printing; the Marines of MWSS-372 have eagerly answered.
Capt. Marc Blair, combat engineer officer, MWSS-372, spearheaded the project, after he was inspired by what he observed at the Marine Corps System Command Roadshow. There, he attended a presentation on additive manufacturing in relation to the Maradmin that had been published in mid-September 2016. According to Blair, it was purely "by chance, since we were there to look at engineer equipment," not to learn about 3-D printing.
An engineer officer himself, Blair realized that his own unit would be perfect to test out what a 3-D printer could do in the hands of Marines, as there are 72 occupational fields within MWSS-372, all of which may be able to find a way to use the 3-D printer within their area of expertise. After some research and discussion with subject matter experts at the Pentagon, Blair coordinated funding through Installations and Logistics' Next Log Innovation Cell and procured a 3-D printer for MWSS-372.
"I'm nerdy, so to me this is pretty awesome," Blair said. "Imagine what the battlefield could be like in fifteen years [with this new capability.]"
The printer uses a single extrusion head and spool of PLA filament, i.e. black plastic tubing, which feeds into the printer head where it is heated to about 220 degrees Celsius, making it pliable enough to print into the desired object.
"[The printer itself is] a really basic model. It's actually meant for K-12 students in order to get the basics of 3-D printing down," says Capt Kristina Warren, motor transport company commander, MWSS-372. "There are a lot of limitations because of it, but it's a great opportunity to test the capability in the Marine Corps because it's a lot cheaper."
She added that this printer allows Marines to get used to the idea of 3-D printing, and get some good test products out before the Marine Corps decides if it wants to spend more money. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Matthew Wright, motor transport maintenance officer, MWSS-372, points out that they chose this particular printer because it was the only one available through GSA, and they had to do an open purchase to obtain the filament spool.
Of the entire process, keeping the printer on a level surface so that gravity does not interfere with the printing and cooling of the object is the most difficult part. In fact, the Marines most closely involved in this experiment were surprised that the technology involved was so simple to use.
"It took us almost three hours to put it together initially, mostly due to an abundance of caution and lack of familiarity," said Warren. "However, once you do it, it's super easy to remember how to do it."
Now that the Marines are familiar with it she is confident that they could put it together in less than an hour. There was no training on how to assemble the printer, merely puzzling over the pictures in the instruction manual and about ten minutes of watching troubleshooting videos on YouTube.
According to Wright, he "jumped at the chance" to get involved with the project because it's "interesting" and "fun." He starting training himself on how to create a virtual model of objects that they might want to print. He watched a few instructional YouTube videos and familiarized himself with Tinkercad.com, a program readily available for free online that was recommended in the printer's instruction manual. Wright estimates that he spent only a few hours figuring out how to create a virtual model.
"All the information is available online, so long as you are willing to put the time into reading it," he explained.
No previous computer programming experience is needed, which means that more Marines in the general population of the Corps should be able to use this technology themselves as no formal school will be needed, Wright explained. Still, he thinks that it would be beneficial to have some sort of formal training, although he believes anyone would be able to use the Tinkercad program and this particular printer.
After he became confident that he could successfully draw a virtual model of whatever plastic piece of equipment was desired, Wright just needed to decide what to print first. Those involved agreed upon a Humvee door handle; after all, this presented a perfect opportunity for a real world test for the printer. According to Warren, door handles get snapped surprisingly often and "the main thing we're looking for in an expeditionary environment is to use [the printer] for maintenance purposes." They were already out in a desert range in support of Weapons and Tactics Instructors Course (WTI) 1-17, and if this was an actual deployment this particular scenario was likely to occur. Why not see if the 3-D printer could solve a problem they were likely to face on their upcoming deployment?
They measured a Humvee door handle by hand, and Wright entered the data into the Tinkercad program. He chose to use a honeycomb pattern to fill the inside of the handle, as he was of the opinion that would keep the handle "strong and lightweight" without "wasting a lot of product trying to make the handle." Wright then transferred that virtual model into a second program which translates the virtual model into the specific commands that tell the printer what to print, and how to make it.
The advantage of this two-step process is that it means that one virtual model master file can be translated into the specific language to any make and model of printer that is being used. Instead of Marines having to write a different files for each type of printer they might use, the Marine Corps could have one standard file used across the Corps, and merely translate it into commands according to whatever printer is on hand. If one unit develops and tests a successful part on their printer, that design can be sent to other units to begin using immediately with their printers, instead of other units having to design it themselves, says Blair.
Time can seem like a barrier to widely adopting this technology; after all, the printer required about 45 minutes to print just one door handle. However, Warren disagrees that time is a penalty mark against additive manufacturing.
"Being able to quick print a part instead of having to wait for the field supply system could give us some huge capabilities in the long run," Warren said. ?Wright agreed, stating that MWSS-372 will not have to wait on the supply system in the event that they need a part that is non-safety related, so they won't have to wait a month to get a part. The speed and expedient nature of 3-D printing parts would be a "big plus while we are out in the field," he added.
"By design, maintenance is unpredictable. By having something where you can customize and print a part instead of having to attempt to predict what is going to break would be huge," Warren said. "While this printer only prints plastic, there are 3-D printers that print metal, and when combined with 3-D scanners, Marines could potentially scan a part and print it right there, instead of waiting for a part to make its way to the field. Additionally, the printer is super compact, super mobile, and good for a field environment, its use isn't limited by a dusty environment and you can set it up anywhere."
There will be, especially in the near future, a delicate balancing act between durability, safety, usability and time considerations. Warren admitted, her biggest concern is testing the long term durability of any part.
"The filament that we have right now is technically biodegradable, so I definitely worry about long term durability, but short term durability, its hard plastic and incredibly durable," Warren said.
While they cannot use any parts for safety related equipment yet, Warren speculates that these parts could be used as a stop-gap in the field while waiting for a factory-made part to arrive. Networking with other units who have 3-D printers and sharing results will also help refine the process, as pooling knowledge together will help identify what works and what does not with 3-D printing across the Corps.
After seeing the successful replacement of the door handle, MWSS-372 Marines want to do more. Many of them are quick to voice their opinions about how pleased they are with the results of this first, of hopefully many, practical applications of additive manufacturing.
Would they want to use the printer out in the field while on deployment? Absolutely.
Warren says they are looking into ways to use the 3-D printer outside of maintenance in the field. Wright proposes building a terrain model, "so when we get out into an environment you could 3-D print the buildings that you might be entering." Warren notes that the parts they print using this particular plastic filament will be very resilient for where they will be operating out in the field, and both she and Wright are positive that Marines could use 3-D printers for many different applications. ?All the Marines agree that MWSS-372 would love to be the first Marine unit to 3-D print on deployment, although Wright adds that the results would be even better if they could take along a 3-D scanner. Warren notes that right now they have to measure the part they want to replicate themselves, and input everything by hand into the program.
"If we had a scanner it would be amazing," Warren said. "Being able to scan something into a program and then print from that image would definitely speed up the process and make more accurate parts."
This group also hopes that if they can prove the utility of 3-D printing in the field, they will be able to procure a printer that has the capability to render objects in other materials, such as metal or rubber. The Marines point out that everything that can break, will break in the field; they would like they opportunity to show that they can print and repair in the field too. Wright would "absolutely" like to take more advanced printers capable of printing in other materials, such as metal, into the field.
"If we could print other types of materials and scan items in as opposed to building them via the Tinkercad program, that would be a huge benefit," Wright said. "There are printers capable of printer a whole bicycle. This is something that is definitely part of the future, and is something that will be around to stay."
It doesn't take much to imagine what 3-D printing could do for the Corps as a whole. In April, the story of Marines from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, who went to a museum to retrieve a part needed to get one of their older F/A-18 Hornets back in the air, went viral. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford, even testified about the story to the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee. What if Marines were able to scan jet parts that are no longer available and print them on their own? In fact, General Electric Aviation announced that in 2016 it will introduce the first 3-D printed parts in an aircraft engine platform, which it expects will be both lighter in weight and of higher durability than conventionally manufactured parts. The idea of 3-D printed parts used in Corps aircraft is not terribly far-fetched, in light of this announcement. While he has reservations about putting 3-D printed items in aircraft, Wright does agree that for items that are no longer available through the supply system, it would be a great way to remanufacture those, instead of waiting for someone else to make those parts and send them.
True, there are plenty of concerns that must be addressed, including durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness of 3-D printed parts. But there are also legal considerations to be made, such as whether warranties on expensive equipment would be voided if a part is replaced with a 3-D printed piece, or if intellectual property rights of the original manufacturers would be infringed upon if Marines create virtual model of those parts. Still, Warren is cautiously optimistic that these obstacles can be successfully overcome, and states that it would be wonderful to work with the manufacturers, to get the actual specifications from them and work with them on creating a process for printing their parts in the field. Wright is content to let others determine the legalities of 3-D printing; "If they tell me what I can print, I'll print it," he added.
The MWSS-372 Marines instead focus their attention on the success they have achieved with this one piece of technology in their hands, and turn their thoughts towards what may happen in the future of 3-D printing in the Corps.
"Instead of us being on the back end of technology, and waiting for the commercial side to develop things, us having integration with emerging technologies is the way for us to go as the Marine Corps," Blair said. "We aren't always going to get it 100 percent right, but at least we are sticking ourselves out there and finding which path is going to lead to success."
What do MWSS-372 Marines think can be achieved via 3-D printing? Wright asks, "What can you imagine?"

The USF was mandated as part of the 1996 Telecommunications Act to promote a number of agendas, including the availability of quality services at reasonable rates and promoting the availability of such services to low income and rural consumers.
In the filing the UTC states that while it "supports the Commission's goal of reforming the (USF) to make it fair, efficient and sustainable, it opposes assessments on machine-to-machine communications, including smart meters/smart grid devices. UTC understands the financial pressures that the USF is facing, but machine-to-machine communications do not in any way contribute to the problem. The Commission's focus should be on services that actually do compete with traditional interstate telecommunications, such as broadband internet access."
In addition, the UTC believes that assessing machine-to-machine communications would impose undue economical and administrative burdens on multiple parties involved throughout the M2M chain. "Moreover, USF fees on machine-to-machine communications and smart grid devices, including smart meters, would be discriminatory… Finally, as a policy matter, the Commission should exclude machine-to-machine communications, including smart meters/smart grid devices, because assessing such services would stunt the growth of this nascent industry, which will promote various overriding national policy objectives."
UTC is the international association for the telecommunications and information technology interests of electric, gas and water utilities. UTC's members support the efficient delivery of essential electric, gas and water services to the public at large. These systems include wired and wireless communications networks that are utilized to support a variety of utility applications, such as smart grid.

The present invention relates to utility knives and, more particularly, to utility knives having a fixed blade and a guard for the blade edge.
Utility knives are widely employed by homeowners and craftsmen alike for many applications in which it is necessary to cut or score workpieces, as well as for other simple cutting and shaping applications.
Most utility knives have a blade which is moved from a position within the housing or handle to a position extending outwardly therefrom, and that position may be adjustable. Exemplary of such utility knives are those shown in Rollband et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,242,795 granted Jan. 6, 1981 and Weimann U.S. Pat. No. 4,586,256 granted May 6, 1986. Utility knives with fixed blades and movable covers or guards are also known as, for example, those shown in Peyrot U.S. Pat. No. 4,757,612, and one is Warnes U.S. Pat. No. 2,867,901 granted Jan. 14, 1958.
A problem frequently encountered with respect to such utility knives is the safe and facile changing of the blades which rapidly dull or break. Frequently, the mechanism employed to hold the blade securely requires substantial manipulation in order to remove the blade from the carrier or holder and this can present a potential hazard to those utilizing the knife.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel utility knife with a fixed blade and a retractable guard for the blade edge.
It is also an object to provide such a utility knife in which the blade may be easily released from the blade holding mechanism by simple manipulation and a new blade readily inserted.
Another object is to provide such a utility knife which is simple to fabricate and assemble and which will provide reasonably long life.
A further object is to provide such a utility knife which is attractive in appearance, easy to use and comfortable to grip.
It has now been found that the foregoing and related objects may be readily attained in a fixed blade utility knife comprising a housing providing an internal cavity and including a handle providing the lower portion thereof, a lever providing the upper portion thereof and a nosepiece at one end thereof seating one end of the handle and lever. The lever has its one end pivotably supported on the nosepiece for pivotal movement relative to the handle between a closed position abutting the handle and an open position extending substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the nosepiece. The nosepiece provides a cavity and has an opening at the end thereof spaced from the handle and lever.
A blade holder is disposed in the cavity of the nosepiece and is supported on the one end of the handle. Seated in the holder is a blade which extends outwardly of the opening in the nosepiece, and the blade has a cutting edge extending along its lower margin. A blade guard of generally U-shaped configuration extends about the cutting edge of the blade and is slidable in the nosepiece so as to extend outwardly of the opening therein and sheathe the cutting edge. It can be withdrawn into the cavity of the nosepiece to expose the cutting edge. Manipulatable means is slidably seated in the nosepiece and is engaged with the blade guard to effect its sliding movement.
Desirably, the nosepiece has spaced side walls each having a slot therein and the manipulatable means comprises buttons on the blade guard slidable in the slots. The side walls of the nosepiece have recessed portions about the slots to shield the buttons from inadvertent movement. The end of the handle has a pair of longitudinally spaced notches, and the blade guard has tabs engageable in the notches to prevent movement of the blade guard. The buttons are resiliently depressible in the slots to deflect the tabs outwardly of the notches to enable sliding movement of the blade guard. The notches correspond to the sheathed and retracted positions of the blade guard.
Preferably, the blade guard covers only a limited lower portion of the blade adjacent the cutting edge to permit facile gripping of the remainder thereof for removal of the blade from the blade holder. The blade carrier is pivotable supported on the lever, and includes a spring element bearing on the blade to retain it in the carrier. Pivoting of the lever to an open position deflects the spring element to release the blade and permit its facile removal.
Preferably, the lever and handle each have cooperating deflectable engagement elements thereon to secure the lever in a closed position against the handle.
The blade has an upper edge with a notch therein and the blade carrier has a tab engaged in the notch. One of the spring and lever has a cam portion which bears on the blade carrier during pivoting of the lever to the open position to disengage the tab from the notch. Preferably, the cam portion is a laterally projecting portion on the spring which bears upon a laterally projecting portion on the blade carrier to deflect the blade carrier.

Turning first to FIGS. 1-6, therein illustrated is a utility knife embodying the present invention and generally comprised of a housing generally designated by the numeral 10, a cutting blade generally designated by the numeral 12 and a retractable blade guard generally designated by the numeral 14. The housing 10 is contoured for a comfortable fit in the hand of the user and is desirably fabricated using component materials which will facilitate comfortable gripping as well as provide long life.
As seen in FIG. 7, the housing 10 is assembled from several components of which the handle 16 is the principal one and it provides an internal cavity 28. Extending about its exterior surface is an overmolded grip 18 of a relatively resilient synthetic resin to provide a comfortable grip. The handle 16 has a bifurcated front end portion 32 and a pair of resiliently deflectable catches 36 in the cavity 28 adjacent its rear end. As best seen in FIGS. 8 and 9, the arms of the bifurcated end portion 32 have notices 70 along their opposed surfaces. Seated in the cavity 28 are spare blades 40.
The second component is the lever 20 which has an elongated handle portion 30 with a stepped portion 34 and a front end portion 32 with a transversely extending groove 35 in its upper surface. Depending from its rearward portion is a pair of resiliently deflectable catches 38 which engage with the catches 36 to latch the lever 20 to the handle 16.
The third component is the nosepiece 22 which has side walls 42, a bottom wall 44, a top wall 46 with a forwardly extending channel 48 therein and a front wall 50 with an aperture therein through which the blade 12 and blade guard 14 extend. The several walls 42, 44, 46 and 50 define a rearwardly opening cavity 56 which receives the front end portion 32 of the handle 16, and the channel 46 receives the front end portion 32 of the lever 20. The side walls 42 have elongated slots 52 therein with recesses 54 extending thereabout on the outer surface. Apertures 58 seat the pivot pin 60 which extends through the aperture 62 in the front end portion 32 of the lever 20. The groove 35 in the upper surface of the lever 20 provides clearance for the lever 20 to pivot in the channel 48.
As seen in FIGS. 7 and 21-23, the inner surfaces of the side walls 42 have ribs 66 thereon which form a channel 64 at the lower end of the cavity in which the blade guard 14 is slidably seated.
The blade guard 14 is illustrated in detail in FIGS. 32-34 and has a generally U-shaped configuration with a pair of laterally outwardly offset, forwardly extending arms 72 formed from its side walls intermediate the length thereof. The free end portions of the arms 72 have laterally extending fingers 74 upon which are mounted the buttons 76. Intermediate the length of the arms 72 are upstanding tabs 78 which will seat in a pair of the notches 70 in the arms 26 of the handle 16 as seen in FIGS. 35-36.
As seen in FIGS. 1-6 and 8-9, the buttons 76 are disposed in the slots 52 and are dimensioned to be disposed substantially within the recess defined by the recessed portions 54 about the slots 52 to avoid inadvertent engagement and movement of the blade guard 14.
To move the blade guard 14, the user presses inwardly on the buttons 76 which deflects the arms 72 inwardly and moves the tabs 78 outwardly of the notches 70 as illustrated by the lower button in FIG. 9 and in FIG. 36. The blade guard 14 is then moved inwardly or outwardly by pushing the tabs 78 along the slots 52.
Turning now to FIGS. 10-20, therein illustrated are the components of the blade holding assembly and the manner in which the blade 12 is securely held and readily released. The blade 12 is seated in a blade holder or carrier generally designated by the numeral 80 and is held tightly thereagainst by a spring member generally designated by the numeral 82. Both members are disposed at the front end of the lever 20 with the spring member 82 being secured thereto so as to be pivotable therewith and the blade carrier 80 remaining stationary with the handle 16 as the lever 20 pivots relative thereto.
Turning first to the blade carrier 80, it has a body portion 84, a base flange 86 upon which the blade 12 is seated and a laterally offset mounting portion 88 having an aperture 90 therein. A pair of slits in the body portion 84 provide a spring arm 92 with a tab 94 extending laterally above the base flange 86 and an offset finger 96 extending upwardly therefrom laterally spaced from the plane of the body portion 84 in the direction opposite from the flange 86. Adjacent the forward end is a laterally extending tab 98 on the top edge to restrain the blade 12 vertically. Adjacent the rear end is a tab 100 offset in the direction of the base flange 86 to provide a stop for the rear edge of the blade 12. Extending from the rear is a tailpiece 102.
The spring member 82 is formed with an arcuate body 104 with an arcuate cutout 106 forming an arcuately bent spring arm 108. The mounting portion 110 is laterally offset from the body 104 and has a laterally projecting tab 112 at its rearward end. A pair of longitudinally spaced aperatures 114 are provided in the mounting portion 110.
The spring member 82 is fixedly mounted on the end of the lever 20 by the pivot pin 60 and the fixed pin 116 which extend through the apertures 114 of the mounting portions 110. The carrier 80 is fixedly seated in the bifurcated end 26 of the handle 16 and fixedly seats the blade 12. As best seen in FIG. 20, the body 104 of the spring member 82 extends along the surface of the blade 12 and its spring arm 108 biases the blade 12 against the body 84 of the carrier 80. The tab 98 extends above the blade 12 to provide a vertical restraint. As seen in FIG. 12, the tab 94 on the carrier 80 seats in the notch 118 of the blade 12. As a result, the blade 12 is firmly positioned in the handle assembly 10.
When it is desired to change the blade 12, the lever 20 is disengaged from the fingers 36 of the handle 16 and pivoted from the position seen in FIG. 1 to a position in which it is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the nosepiece 22 and blade 12 as shown in FIGS. 11-13. As the lever 20 is pivoted, the tab 112 bears against the finger 96 to deflect the upper portion of the carrier 80 and move the tab 94 outwardly of the notch 118 of the blade 12 as seen in FIG. 13. As a result, the blade 12 can be easily slid outwardly of the carrier 80.
A new blade 12 can then be inserted while the lever 20 is in this pivoted position, and it will be locked in place when the lever 20 is pivoted to its closed position.
Turning now to FIGS. 24-31, therein illustrated is another embodiment of a spring which may be used. In this embodiment, the spring generally designated by the numeral 130 has its mounting portion 132 and body 134 lying in the same plane, and it is provided with an arcuate slit 136 which generates a spring arm 138 which is laterally offset from a point which is above the blade 12 seated in the carrier 80. As seen in FIGS. 30 and 31, the spring arm 138 is disposed against the surface of the blade 12 and the body 134 is disposed on the opposite side of the carrier 80 to firmly clamp the blade 14. The tab 140 on the spring 130 functions similarly to deflect the carrier 80 upon pivoting of the lever 20.
Thus, it can be seen from the foregoing description that the utility knife of the present invention enables facile release of the blade from its carrier merely by pivoting the lever from its closed position to its open position which disengages the tab from the notch in the blade. The blade may then be slid outwardly of the carrier through the front of the nosepiece. However, during normal operation, the blade is firmly held in position within the carrier by the spring.
Moreover, since the blade guard covers only a limited portion of the bottom of the blade, the whole surface of the blade thereabove is exposed for gripping by the user to remove or to insert the blade into the carrier.
By placing the manipulating buttons for the blade guard in a recessed area of the nosepiece, they are essentially free from inadvertent manipulation as the blade is being transported in the pocket of the user or in a toolbox since the buttons must be physically pushed inwardly of the recess in order to effect the release of the tabs on the guard from the notches in which they are firmly secured.
The components of the assembly may be simply fabricated. Ideally, the nosepiece is a die casting of zinc or aluminum or other suitable metal so as to enable facile formation with all of its contours. The handle and the lever are readily formed from synthetic resins by conventional molding operations. Glass reinforced polypropylene and other similar resins are desirable for this application to provide high strength and durability. For comfort, a relatively soft synthetic resin is employed for the grip, and the grip is conveniently overmolded onto the body of the handle. However, it may be separately molded and secured thereto by adhesive, sonic welding or the like. Polyolefin elastomers are desirably employed for this application since they can be bonded readily to polypropylene which is conveniently employed. The carrier and the spring are easily fabricated by stamping sheet metal. Thus, the whole structure is readily assembled from a small number of component parts which can be economically fabricated.
Thus, it can be seen from the foregoing detailed description and attached drawings that the utility knife of the present invention is one which can be readily and relatively economically fabricated, and which can be fabricated of materials which provide long life. The blade guard is easily manipulated, but is essentially free from inadvertent dislodgement from its blade protecting position. The blade is securely held in position but it can be readily released from its engagement by simply pivoting the lever to its open position to release the blade from the holder and then sliding blade outwardly therefrom.

Hey Everyone,
Due to several major network problems, the contracts we recently took out have been granted early release. So we are again on the market looking for phones.
We are looking at Telstra for the coverage and this time I am unsure on what phone to go for.
I had the HTC One X and after playing with Telstras One XL, the XL is far better phone however I am not convinced to get one again.
So I played with a Galaxy SIII today and wow at the camera. It perfectly captured a crystal clear and sharp image of my very busy daughter. Something the HTC couldn't do. This has made me love the phone but I wanted to see if anyone could advise me on the app store that they use. Is it google play?? Can you get bub hub app on the Samsung? (I would hate to not be able to get it).
My other thing is, do I just use my prepaid sim card for a week and wait for the iPhone 5. Which I know that I would love.
Advice please ) I am being so indecisive on this.
Thanks guys!
