Scissors include first and second body portions, and a pivot support portion that supports the first and second body portions. The scissors further include a movable transmission member attached to a handle of the first body portion, a spring provided between the handle of the first body portion and the movable transmission member, and rows of teeth configured to transmit urging force from the spring to the second body portion through the movable transmission member. The pivot support portion has a pivot and a pivot hole that enables the first and second body portions to be assembled and disassembled. The rows of teeth are provided on the movable transmission member and a handle of the second body portion, and can be attached to or detached from each other when assembling and disassembling the first and second body portions.

The present invention relates to pruning shears, and is intended to cut off branches and stems of landscape trees, fruit trees, etc. while minimizing slips, etc. occurring during pruning when the branches or stems have large diameters or are stiff, to alleviate impacts applied to a hand of an operator particularly at the moment when thick branches or stems are cut off, and to be conveniently hung on a tree branch during work. Furthermore, the pruning shears have a sliding portable saw accommodation means configured to cut off a tree branch or stem outside the cutting range of the pruning shears.

Conventional herb strippers can be tedious, time consuming, and awkward to use. Accordingly, the present inventors devised new tools and methods that allow faster and easier herb stripping. One tool includes an herb stripping notch configured to engage the plant stem of an herb at an intermediate point between its two ends, with the edges of the notch stripping leaves as the notch is moved over the stem or the stem is pulled through the notch. In some embodiments, one or more of these notches, for example six, are included in a blade structure, with the notches arranged in a smallest-to-largest sequence. The blade structure may also includes a knife edge, enabling it to serve the added function of a knife.

The hairstyling scissors have a first scissor piece, a second scissor piece, and a pivot axis that connects the first and second scissor pieces, allowing those pieces to rotate mutually in an unimpeded fashion. The first scissor piece is a long narrow piece having a first blade section positioned ahead of the pivot axis, and a first handle section positioned on the gripping-side of the pivot axis with a first finger eyelet. The first handle section is bent over and beyond the pivot axis towards the first blade section. The second scissor piece is a long narrow piece having a second blade section positioned ahead of the pivot axis, and a second handle section positioned on the gripping-side of the pivot axis with a second finger eyelet. The second handle section is bent over and beyond the pivot axis into the side of the second blade section.

A pair of scissors has two shears movably mounted to pivot about an axis, each of the shears having a blade (3) extended by a shank (4, 5). The first shank (4) is covered by a grip in the form of an elongate body that is provided with a lateral opening (8) and that is suitable for being inserted transversely between two fingers of a hand to a position where it bears against the crook where the two fingers meet. The second shank (5) is terminated by a half-ring forming a cradle (10) for receiving the thumb. The first shank (4) is a bent shank. The lateral opening (8) in the elastically deformable grip extends into the inside of the grip forming a sheath into which the first shank (4) can be inserted in adjustable manner by slidable movement. The end of the cradle (10) that is closer to the first shank (4) is bent towards the inside of the cradle to form an abutment (11) for retaining the thumb.

Hand tools which have an ergonomic using a palm handle and finger handle designs which achieve mechanical efficiency and ease of use. The ergonomic handle is compatible with the muscle movements of an operator using a hand tool reducing muscle strain and pain. Optionally, the palm and finger handles can have ergonomically designed cushions. In an embodiment, the finger handle can have a finger set which has a forward finger flange, a tail finger flange and a pinky grip. The ergonomic handle can also use a relief washer system to achieve a smooth low frictional resistance cutting stroke.

A shears comprising a first lever and a second lever, each lever having a blade end and a handle end, wherein the first lever is s-shaped such that the upper handle is at a higher elevation than the first lever blade end, the upper handle front portion projecting upwardly above the upper handle medial portion for engagement with the web between the thumb and forefinger of a user's hand to limit forward movement of the hand along the upper handle but not projecting upwardly above the upper handle rear portion, the lower handle having a lower surface formed of a high-friction material that is downwardly convex and shaped and dimensioned to conform to the curled fingers of a user's hand, the shears further comprising a ripping blade detachably mountable to the first lever blade end, the shears further comprising handle stop with a spring for biasing the shears in the open position.

Scissors, especially surgical scissors, having first and second elongate members each having a handle portion and a blade portion and being connected by a pivot between the handle portions and the blade portions for relative pivotal movement generally in a cutting plane during a cutting stroke. At least one of the handle portions supports a channel member having a length that extends toward, embraces and extends beyond the handle portion of the other elongate member to restrain movement of the handle portions out of the cutting plane and thus to resist relative lateral movement of the blade portions away from each other during the cutting stroke. The scissors are robust and are able to cleanly, effectively and accurately cut tough or slippery items which might otherwise cause the blades to splay away from each other.
