Abstract:
Provided is a tool that includes a handle assembly including a top portion and a bottom portion. The tool also includes a lock plate disposed between the top and bottom portions and having a deflectable arm having a free end biased towards the top portion, a fixed end opposite the free end, an inner edge, an outer edge, and a detent near the free end and the inner edge. The tool additionally includes a blade having first and second ends, an indent in a bottom surface of the blade near the first end for engaging the detent in a closed position, and a ramp on the bottom surface near the indent defining a reduced thickness portion of the blade that reduces in thickness from the indent towards an edge of the blade to reduce contact between the detent and the blade during rotation of the blade.

Claim (Index 1):
A tool including:\n a handle assembly including a top portion having first and second ends and a bottom portion having first and second ends; a lock plate disposed between the top and bottom portions and having first and second ends, a deflectable arm having a free end biased towards the top portion, a fixed end opposite the free end, an inner edge, an outer edge, and a detent near the free end and the inner edge; and a blade disposed between the top portion and the lock plate where a top surface of the blade abuts a bottom surface of the top portion and a bottom surface of the blade abuts a top surface of the lock plate, the blade having first and second ends, an indent in the bottom surface near the first end for engaging the detent in a closed position, and a ramp on the bottom surface near the indent defining a reduced thickness portion of the blade that reduces in thickness from the indent towards an edge of the blade to reduce contact between the detent and the blade during rotation of the blade, wherein the blade is rotatable about the first end between the closed positioned where the second end of the blade is held within the handle assembly by the deflectable arm, and an open position where the second end of the blade is outside the top and bottom portions and the first end of the blade is engaged by the free end of the deflectable arm to hold the blade in the open position.
