Abstract:
A self-locking retractable surgical knife including a sheath member having front and rear ends, and a retractable member including a support member and a blade supported by the support member. The support member has a front end, a rear end and an elongated interior space. The retractable member is partially disposed in the sheath member and telescopically received in the sheath member for movement between a guarded position wherein the blade is guarded in the sheath member, and an exposed position wherein the blade extends out of the sheath member. The self-locking retractable further includes a biasing member disposed in the interior space of the support member and a latch member disposed in the interior space of the support member.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein before introducing the biasing member into the interior space of the retractable member through the biasing member introduction slot, the method further comprises:\n pushing forward the rear end of the retractable member; abutting a top surface of a release button to an inner surface of the top wall of the sheath member and abutting a lower end of the latch member to an inner surface of the bottom wall of the sheath member; pulling the rear end of the retractable member rearward until a front end of the elongate top slot of the retractable member engages with a front surface of the release button of the latch member; pulling the retractable member further rearward; pushing the latch member to move rearward until the release button of the latch member snaps through a latch button slot of the sheath member due to a resilience force of the latch member; self-securing the release button in the latch button slot of the sheath member, as a permanent location; and exposing a biasing member introduction slot at least partially exposed outside of the sheath member.
