DESCRIPTION

Perfected knife with indicator light.

The present invention refers to an improved knife with a light indicator, consisting of a novel and original knife, used in the bush and in hunts, provided with a light indicator mechanism.

That is why the present invention will be of special interest to the sector of the manufacturing and supplying industry of knives, especially hunting and mountain knives.

Today, mountain and hunting knives are characterized by a robust and multifunctional appearance, which can be associated with different types of edges, cutting and saw, while they usually have accessories to be hung or of another type Therefore, there is a great variety of shapes and designs.

However, an unknown feature of these devices is their ability to be located at night and to facilitate their use in these conditions.

Thus, it is frequent, in hunts, as well as in field trips, to use these knives in conditions of poor visibility, at night, where, for example, to skin the game it is necessary to manipulate the knife in the field and without light, in conditions of certain darkness.

Likewise, in these conditions the knives that end up being left or stuck in the ground end up being lost, being confused with the undergrowth and vegetation.

In some cases, they have been equipped with reflective elements, which can be located on the hilt of the knife, but these are not usually well accepted, especially by hunters, since it increases their visibility, when what hunters normally pursue is to blend in with the ground not to be seen.

On the other hand, when using the knife, these reflective elements do not contribute anything, as they do not serve to increase the visibility of the cutting area, thus facilitating the user's task.

However, the present invention presents a knife, in which the incorporation of an element that generates a luminous guide protruding from the cutting blade itself has been provided, serving on the one hand as a position marker for the knife, as well as for indication and lighting of the cutting area.

For all this, the present perfected knife with a light indicator, which is described below, is fundamentally constituted by a structure of a set, constituted by a field knife, composed of a sharp metal blade, on part of its perimeter, joined by one end to a roughly straight elongated handle. Said handle has inside a luminous device, a light generator, electrically powered by batteries or direct current electric cells, said luminous device being accessible through an access door at the rear end of the handle, for replacement and replacement of the batteries. power supplies and, where appropriate, the electric bulb, being the light-generating source, inside the handle communicated with openings arranged on the sides of both sides of the blade, constituting light sources, through which the light comes out, illuminating the cutting area where the edge of the knife blade points.

Likewise, the aforementioned electrical device inside the knife handle, a light generator, is powered by batteries or electric cells, replaceable by means of the aforementioned access, consisting of a threaded circular watertight gate.

On the other hand, the aforementioned invention comprises that the light-generating focus inside the handle is made up of solid-state light generators, such as those of LED technology.

Furthermore, the conduction of each beam of light between the inner emitter focus of the handle and the light source holes in the knife blade can be carried out by means of optical fibers through the referred inner channels of the knife handle.

As an alternative, said light sources can be found at the end of the handle of the handle close to the cutting blade of the knife.

Next, a detailed description of the improved knife with a light indicator, object of the present invention, will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a preferred form of embodiment is represented, by way of a simple, non-limiting example. susceptible to all those detail variations that do not imply a fundamental alteration of the essential characteristics of said improvements.

These plans illustrate:

In figure 1: Side elevation and plan views of the perfected knife with light indicator.

According to the exemplary embodiment shown, the improved knife with a light indicator illustrated in this preferred embodiment is essentially constituted by a structure of a set, constituted by a field knife, composed of a sharp metal blade (1), by part of its perimeter, attached at one end to an approximately straight elongated handle (2). Said handle (2) has inside a luminous device, light generator, electrically powered by direct current batteries or electric cells, said luminous device being accessible through an access door (4) at the rear end of the handle (2 ), for replacement and replacement of the electric power batteries and, where appropriate, of the electric bulb, being the light generator focus, inside the handle (2) communicated with openings arranged on the sides of both sides of the blade (1) constituting light sources (3), through which the light comes out illuminating the cutting area where the edge of the blade of the knife.

Likewise, the aforementioned electrical device inside the handle (2) of the knife, a light generator, is powered by batteries or electric cells, replaceable by means of the aforementioned access (4), consisting of a circular screw-tight gate.

On the other hand, the aforementioned invention comprises that the light-generating focus inside the handle (2) is made up of solid-state light generators, such as those of LED technology.

In addition, the conduction of each light beam between the inner emitter focus of the handle (2) and the light source holes (3), in the blade (1) of the knife, can be carried out by means of optical fibers through the referred inner channels of the handle. (2) of the knife.

As an alternative, said light sources (3) can be found at the end of the handle of the handle (2) close to the cutting blade (1) of the knife.

Finally, the shape, materials and dimensions may be variable and in general, everything that is accessory and secondary, as long as it does not alter, change or modify the essentiality of the improvements that have been described.
