DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0025] In order to learn functions and features of the present invention, please refer to the following embodiments with detailed description and the figures.

[0026] Refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a control device of a cutting device includes a first component 1 and a second component 2. The first component 1 consists of a handle 11, an anvil part 12 formed by extension of one end of the handle 11. A slot 12a is longitudinally formed on the anvil part 12 while a first pivot hole 121 is disposed between the handle 11 and the anvil part 12. A second pivot hole 111 is mounted on the handle 11. The second component 2 is composed of a handle part 21, a receiving space 22 and a first assembly part 23. The first assembly part 23 formed by a pair of plates extended from one end of the handle part 21 is arranged with third pivot holes 231a, 231b and fourth pivot holes 232a, 232b. The second pivot hole 111 is used for pivotal connection to a blade 3 and a blade handle 32 formed by extension of one end of the blade 3. An insertion hole 321 and a hollowed-out window 322 are mounted on the blade handle 32 while one end of the blade handle 32 is extended to form a pin 323. The blade handle 32 is passed through the slot 12a of the anvil part 12 and the insertion hole 321 thereof is aligned with and pivotally connected to the second pivot hole 111 by a shaft 75. The first pivot hole 121 is aligned with and pivotally connected to the third pivot holes 231a, 231b by a shaft 71.

[0027] Refer to FIG. 2, one end of the handle 21 of the second component 2 is the receiving space 22 formed by a first wall 22a and a second wall 22b. The first wall 22a and the second wall 22b are disposed with a pivot hole 223a, 223b respectively. Both the first wall 22a and the second wall 22b are arranged with a first bulge 221 and a second bulge 222. The receiving space 22 is for mounting a control device 5. The control device 5 includes a pivot part 52 with a pivot hole 521, a first holding part 51a and a second holding part 51b formed by extension of the pivot part 52, a platform part 53 between the first holding part 51a and the second holding part 51b, and a groove 54 set on the platform part 53.

[0028] Refer to FIG. 2, a support body 6 made from metal includes a connection part 61 with a pivot hole 611, a back part 62 formed by extension of the connection part 61 and a hook part 63 formed by extension of one end of the back part 62. The pivot hole 611 of the support body 6 is aligned with and assembled with the pivot hole 521 of the pivot part 52. The shape of the connection part 61 is matched with the shape of the groove 54. The horizontal surface of the back part 62 and the horizontal surface of the platform part 53 are on the same plane while the hook part 63 is projecting from the platform part 53 after the support body 6 being mounted into the groove 54, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0029] Refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the pivot part 52 is mounted into the receiving space 22. The pivot hole 521 is aligned with the pivot holes 223a, 223b of the first and the second walls 22a, 22b and then pivotally connected to the second component 2 by a shaft 73. Thus the control device 5 is rotatable and stopped within the receiving space 22. The first holding part 51a and the second holding part 51b are respectively leaning against the first wall 22a and the second wall 22b. Thus the control device 5 can be operated like a pendulum.

[0030] A connection rod 4 consists of a protruding part 41, a first hole 42 at one end, and a second hole 43 at the other end 43. A spring 8 is fitted on the protruding part 41. The first hole 42 is aligned with the fourth pivot holes 232a, 232b and pivotally connected to the second component 2 by a shaft 72. The second hole 43 is aligned with and pivotally connected to the window 322 of the blade 3 by the shaft 73. Thereby the end part of the connection rod 4 with the second hole 43 can be moved a certain distance within the window 322.

[0031] Refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, a part of the anvil part 12 of the first component 1 with the first pivot hole 121 is set into the first assembly part 23 and the first pivot hole 121 is aligned with the third pivot holes 231a, 231b of the second component 2. The shaft 71 is passed through and pivotally connected the third pivot hole 231a, the first pivot hole 121, the insertion hole 321 and the third pivot hole 231b. By the above pivotally connected first and second components and other overlapped related parts, the blade 3 and the anvil part 12 are moved for cutting through the first component 1 and the second component 2. Refer to FIG. 8, the blade 3 and the anvil part 12 are in an open position and ready for cutting. As shown in FIG. 6, the blade 3 and the anvil part 12 are in a closed position. The first component 1 and the second component 2 are limited and unable to be operated for cutting.

[0032] Refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the pin 323 of the blade 3 is leaning against the back part 62 of the support body 6 while the first holding part 51a/the second holding part 51b being pushed to the first bulge 221. Thus the cutting tool is in a cutting mode of one-time cutting. When the first holding part 51a/the second holding part 51b is pushed to the second bulge 222, the pin 323 of the blade 3 is not leaning against the back part 62 of the support body 6 and the cutting tool in a multi-stage cutting mode can perform multi-stage cutting. Refer to FIG. 7, the blade 3 and the anvil part 12 are getting closer to each other and then becoming closed when the first component 1 and the second component 2 are moved toward each other. Then the first holding part 51a/the second holding part 51b is pushed to move from the second bulge 222 to the position between the first bulge 221 and the second bulge 222. Then the hook part 63 is locked with the pin 323 of the blade 3 and the control device 5 is used to lock the blade 3 and the anvil part 12 at the closed position.

[0033] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages.

[0034] 1. The support body 6 for the control device 5 is made from metal that is hard and wear resistant. Thus the support body 6 will not be worn out when the pin 323 of the blade 3 is leaning against the back part 62 of the support body 6 and still worked normally even after being operated multiple times.

[0035] 2. The support body 6 for the control device 5 includes the hook part 63 so that the control device 5 can provide a locking function.

[0036] Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, and representative devices shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
