prototype switchblade dual action (torsion spring)

I know the details are sketchy in the pictures, but the details that are missing are pretty obvious. The lock mechanism is not completely shown, there is no blade-out lock mechinism, and The sizing is approximate. If someone builds this from my plans, I only ask two things from them; They give me credit, and they send me pictures of the project to my email @ [e-mail]... Any further details just post into the forum. These pictures were drawn to be layered and viewed to add detail without sacrificing understanding....

Handwriting Decypher (right to left
Layer 1 -
torsion spring winder
Selector knob
guide rail
Opening for blade

Layer 2-

Draw back mechinism
Torsion spring (clockwide wound)
Ratchet selector (like on a wrench)
Rachet Release
wire
Guide pins
rubber band or spring (outward extention power)
string (for opening)
ring
blade

Layer 3-
Hidden Blade: Not a scale drawing. The torsion spring is on an adjustible ratchet to let it spin freely clockwise or to hold still. It allows the blade to be retracted back into into the body. There is a string attached to the blade trigger that is  the toggle switch mechinism. (the last part is something i had to add when sending to a guy that I thought could build it)

Sorry about the rotated pictures..... I will fix them as soon as I can

It is not my intention to be annoying, but really you could have taken the trouble to make something clearer. It seems that instead of making you understand you, we have to do the effort to understand you: rotate the drawings, enlarge and contrast them, decypher your handwriting.

Hey, sorry about that, I had to do this on a really bad computer..... I was planning on uploading a new set when I could fix the pictures.... And is my handwriting that bad?????????

Actually, your letter is not the worst I've seen. But if you do it to show a project, it is better if you care.

I find it interesting and it should work, but as the subject is not within the range of my interests, I have not to study it enough.
