Indian Standard SPECIFICATION FOR

HAND TOOLS FOR FOOTWEAR INDUSTRY

PART III DESIGNERS’ KNIFE

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part III ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 27 November 1,971, after the draft finalized by the Footwear Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

0.2 In footwear industry, designers’ knife is used by designer for cutting and marking pattern papers while designing. The knife recommen’ded in this standard, on account of its improved design and lightness coupled with gripping feature, provides extra facilities to a designer to hold it at ease like a pencil for his work.

0.3 The handle of the Type 1 knife shall be built up of a bent wire with a slot at the end, in which the steel blade may be inserted when the knife handle is in open position and when the tail ends are clamped, the spring action of the wire bolts the blade in position. The tail end is pointed to facilitate its use in prick marking. The finger-catch also provides a rough lined surface to enable fingers to check the knife from slipping. The Type 2 knife shall be such that the blades may be inserted into the handle from the front side and screwed securely: The blade is sharpened before use to a bevel shape in order to have a sharp cutting edge.

0.4 This standard contains clause 6.1 which calls for agreement betweeen the purchaser and the supplier.

0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard ( Part III ) prescribes the requirements, methods of sampling and test for designers’ knife, used in footwear industry.

*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ) .

IS : 6053 ( Part III ) - 1971

2. TERMINOLOGY

2 .l Designers’ Knife handle.

-A knife having its blade inserted through the The other end of the knife is provided with pointed edge to facilitate

prick marking.

3. TYPES

3.1 Depending upon the design, the knives shall be of following two types:

Type 1 - Knife with wire handle

Type 2- Knife with metallic handle

4. REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Material

4.1.1 Blade -The blade shall be made from either high carbon steel, low alloy steel or high speed steel, 1 *O mm thick and having rust preventive coating.

4.1.2 Handle - The handle of Type 1 knife shall be made from mild steel wire ( conforming to IS : 1673-1960” ) with cadmium plating. The handle ofType 2 knife shall be made from brass tube 13 mm in diameter.

4.2 Shape and Design - The shape and dimensions of Type 1 and Type 2 designers’ knives shall be as given in Fig. 1.

4.3 Hardness - The hardness of the finished steel blade, measured as near to the cutting edge as possible according to IS : 1501-1968?, shall be as given below:

a) High carbon steel 693 to 762 HV

b) Low alloy steel 762 to 840 HV C) High speed steel 738 to 840 HV

4.4 General Requirements and Finish

4.4.1 The handle shall be finished smooth and the shape uniformly maintained.

be 4.4.2 The clamping devise in the handle shall be such that the blade may clamped securely.

*Specification for mild steel wire for the manufacture of machine screws ( by cold-head@ process ) .

tMethod for Vickers hardness test for steel (Jirsf rertision ).
