| Title of Invention | DISPOSABLE SCALPEL WITH RETRACTABLE BLADE |
|---|---|
| Abstract | A scalpel is provided having a handle (1) with a longitudinally extending cavity (3) therein, a blade carrier (2) within the cavity and movable longitudinally relative to the handle between an operative position in which a blade carried thereby is exposed for use at an open end (8) of the cavity and an inoperative position in which a blade carried thereby is retracted within the cavity in the handle, and a manually operable slider (4) associated with the blade carrier and passing through a slot (6) in a wall of the handle at an edge (7) thereof, herein termed the top edge. The handle is moulded as a single piece moulding with an integral bridge (10) defining an endless open end (11) to the cavity through which the blade carrier is introduced into the cavity. The slider is formed as a separate part that snap fits to the blade carrier after its introduction through the open end of the cavity to form a blade carrier and slider assembly. 'Click stops' are provided in the operative and inoperative positions by tooth (19, 20) and notch (23) formations on the slider and slot. A final innermost permanently locked position is also preferably provided. |
