Abstract:
An assisted opening knife includes a handle with a pushing key for releasing and locking a blade. The blade is pivotally connected to the handle and has near its rear end a position-limiting post extending into an arcuate position-limiting groove in, and near the front end of, the handle. The assisted opening knife is characterized by the handle having therein a releasing/locking slide plate whose top side is provided with the pushing key and whose front end, a releasing/locking arm movable to a position near one end of the arcuate position-limiting groove. While the blade is stored in the handle, the position-limiting post touches the aforesaid end of the arcuate position-limiting groove and is locked by the releasing/locking arm to prevent the blade from rotation. The blade is rotatable again when the pushing key, exposed from the handle, is pushed and moves the releasing/locking arm away from the aforesaid position.

Claim (Index 5):
The assisted opening knife of  claim 2 , further comprising a locking element, wherein the locking element comprises an engaging head and a second auxiliary elastic element; the locking element is mounted between the auxiliary slide plate and the upper handle portion; the second auxiliary elastic element is configured to apply to the engaging head a second elastic force tending to displace the engaging head such that the engaging head is pressed against a second lateral edge of the auxiliary slide plate and thus brings the auxiliary slide plate into a locked state, in which the auxiliary slide plate is unable to be displaced forward or rearward; when the blade has been rotated out of the blade storage space to the greatest extent, the engaging head is pressed by the second auxiliary elastic element and thus locks the auxiliary slide plate in the locked state, in which the auxiliary slide plate is unable to push the free end of the position-limiting post; and only when the user overcomes the second elastic force by pushing the pushing key rearward with a finger or thumb will the auxiliary slide plate be displaceable along with the pushing key.
