Abstract

See full text

A utility knife includes a housing pivotally fixed with a blade holder that can move between a retracted position with the blade holder at least partially contained within the housing, and an extended position. A spring clip spans at least partially across the blade holder and traverses a spring clip slot to engage a notch of a utility blade held within the blade holder. When pressed upwardly, the spring clip clears the notch of the blade, releasing the blade within the blade holder such that the blade can be pulled out of and away from the blade holder. In use, with the blade holder in the retracted position, the blade holder can be moved into the extended position by pressing against the actuator section of the spring clip. The utility knife can be used in this manner with either the left or right hand.
