Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a tool accessory case having a first and a second housing member pivotally connected to each other along a hinge portion and forming a tool holding cavity. The tool accessory case also has at least one index configured for receiving at least one elongated tool accessory disposed in one of the housing members. The index has an upper guide for contacting an upper portion of the tool accessory, and a lower guide for contacting a lower portion of the tool accessory. Further, a flexible arm is included on either the index or one of the first and second housing members. The flexible arm is configured for deforming and applying a lateral pressure to the lower portion of the tool accessory for the purpose of positively retaining the tool accessory in the index. The tool accessory is slidingly received by the index, and the lateral pressure is applied by the flexible arm when the tool accessory is generally entirely received by the index.

Abstract:
A knife may include a housing, a blade holder, and an actuator. The blade holder may be movably attached to the housing and configured to receive a blade at least partially within the blade holder. The blade holder may be configured to move relative to the housing between a closed position in which a cutting edge of the blade is positioned entirely within the housing and an open position in which the cutting edge is positioned at least partially outside of the housing. The actuator may be movably attached to the housing and configured to move the blade holder from the closed position toward the open position. The actuator may be configured to move relative to the housing between an extended position in which the actuator is positioned at least partially outside of the housing and a retracted position in which the actuator is positioned entirely within the housing.
