Company patents

Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd.

Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd, despite its name suggesting a focus on industrial tools, shows a surprising patent strategy with nearly 15% of its portfolio (19 patents) in Tables & Desks, a consumer sector, which saw a significant 250.0% year-over-year growth in 2024. While Hand Tools remain its largest category at 17.8% of the portfolio, its patenting in this core area has been volatile, with a 60.0% decline in 2024 followed by a 100.0% increase in 2025, and a sharp decline so far in 2026, indicating a potential shift in priorities.

FOLDING KNIFE

Filed:2023-02-16Pub:2026-06-04
Applicant:HANGZHOU GREAT STAR INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.

The present invention discloses a folding knife, which belongs to the field of manual cutting tools. Conventional folding knives suffer from the drawbacks of cumbersome operation of the locking mechanism for preventing accidental folding, and potential safety hazards as fingers are located in the folding path of the blade during folding. In the present invention, a finger control part protrudes from a side surface of a front end of a handle part for a finger to apply an unlocking force rearward. The handle part is provided with a forward force application contour feature. A distance between the finger control part and the forward force application contour feature is adapted to allow that fingers of a single hand are able to manipulate the finger control part as the same hand grips and controls the forward force application contour feature, and the hand applies a forward control force to the forward force application contour feature as the fingers apply the unlocking force rearward to the finger control part. Therefore, by gripping the forward force application contour feature with one hand and using a finger of the same hand to apply the unlocking force rearward to the finger control part, the hand is caused to apply the forward control force to the forward force application contour feature. The opposing directions of the unlocking force and the control force cause the handle part to be squeezed and controlled in the hand, thereby allowing the fingers to avoid the folding path and then perform the operation of folding or unfolding the folding part.
