Abstract

On décrit un coupe-cigare amélioré (10) incorporant des éléments autoaiguisants. Ce coupe-cigare comprend un corps creux (14) présentant une face avant (18), une face arrière (22), une première et une deuxième extrémités (46, 50) et une cavité interne (62). Le corps comporte un orifice (66) qui le traverse de la face avant (54) à la face arrière (58) et qui est dimensionné pour permettre le passage d'un cigare. Il comporte en outre une première et une deuxième fentes (70, 74) qui s'étendent des première et deuxième extrémités (46, 50) vers l'intérieur de la cavité. Une paire d'éléments de coupe planaires (26) présente chacun une première et une deuxième section (100, 104). La première section présente un bord tranchant aiguisé (108) à une extrémité, une première largeur prédéterminée, et loge à l'intérieur de la cavité (62). La deuxième section (104) relie la première section opposée au bord tranchant aiguisé (108), présente une deuxième largeur plus petite et s'étend à l'extérieur de la cavité (62) à travers une des fentes (74). Elle est fixée à un moyen d'actionnement (154) ou poignée.
