Abstract:
A safety cutting device includes a slidable insert that moves longitudinally within a cavity of a housing. The slidable insert has a cutting blade attached and moves within the housing from a safe position in which the blade is covered to an exposed position for cutting. The safety device has a release button positioned near an anterior end of the housing. A biasing member automatically retracts the blade when the release button is activated.

Claim (Index 20):
A safety cutting device, comprising:\n an elongate housing defining a sheath having an anterior opening and forming a cavity configured to receive a slidable insert; a cutting blade coupled to the slidable insert, the slidable insert positioned within the cavity and moveable within the housing between a safe position in which the blade is covered by the sheath and an exposed position in which the blade is extended through the anterior opening and exposed for cutting; a biasing member biasing the slidable insert to the safe position; a latch mechanism operable to lock the slidable insert in the exposed position, the latch mechanism including\n a deflectable latch disposed on the slidable insert and being biased outward toward the housing, \n wherein the deflectable latch is configured to engage with a portion of the housing to lock the slidable insert in the exposed position; and \n a release mechanism positioned on an anterior portion of the housing and configured to unlock the latch mechanism, the release mechanism including\n a flange integrally formed with the housing and extending along a longitudinal direction, the flange being deflectable in a transverse direction, \n wherein the flange is configured to selectively engage with the deflectable latch to disengage the deflectable latch from the housing and allow the slidable insert to move to the safe position.
