US Patent No: 4856192

Adapter for knife and sheath assembly

---

Abstract

---

A sheath and knife combination providing an interlocking fit when the knife is inserted into the sheath. The sheath is provided with two upward extensions having a resilient leaf on one extension oppositely facing a hole on the other extension. The knife has two buttons disposed on opposite surfaces of the knife handle and connected by a shaft. When the knife is fully inserted into the sheath, the leaf contacts one of the buttons thereby forcing the opposing button into the hole so that the knife and sheath become interlocked. The knife may be removed from the sheath by pushing the button which engages the hole and pulling the knife out of the sheath.
