A scissor assembly with quantified finger rests has a pair of scissors and multiple finger rests. The multiple finger rests have different weights and are interchangeably mounted to the pair of scissors. Each one of the multiple finger rests has a finger rest body and a weight indicating unit. The weight indicating unit is disposed on the finger rest body for distinguishing the finger rest and the other finger rests. In use, a user can identify each one of the multiple finger rests and pick a finger rest with a required weight from the multiple finger rests to be mounted to the pair of scissors according to the user's habit of holding a pair of scissors, which improves the comfortability in use of the scissor assembly.

A pair of scissors has a first cutting blade with a thumb handle and a thumb ring and a second cutting blade with a finger ring. The second cutting blade is pivotally attached to the first cutting blade, and the first and second cutting blades pivot relative to one another within a first plane. The thumb ring is slidably attached to the first cutting blade by a shaft that moves freely but with a certain amount of friction along a longitudinal slot in the thumb handle of the first cutting blade when the scissors are in use. The longitudinal slot in the thumb handle is situated within a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane.

One feature pertains to cutters that include a first lever, a second lever having a bottom edge, and a cutting lever having a top edge. A first member rotatably couples the first lever to the second lever, a second member couples the cutting lever to the first lever and/or the second lever, where the second member provides a pivot for the cutting lever to rotate relative to the second lever. A means for rotating the cutting lever relative to the second lever to move the top edge toward or away from the bottom edge when the first lever's first end is moved relative to the second lever's first end is provided, where the first lever, the second lever, and the cutting lever are arranged in a side-by-side configuration such that each has a longitudinal axis that is parallel to each other when the cutters are in a closed position.

An occupational therapy system for facilitating a pair of scissors to perform occupational therapy includes a pair of scissors. A pair of grips is provided. Each of the grips is removably coupled to the scissors. Each of the grips enhances manipulation of the scissors.

Devices for use with food, preferably donuts, are provided. The devices are designed to allow a user to cut a donut, to hold a donut or portions thereof, to be used to serve a donut or portions thereof, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the donut cutter may comprise a first scissors member and a second scissors member. The first scissors member and the second scissors member are operatively connected via a pivot member to allow the donut cutter to move between various orientations. In another embodiment, the donut cutter may comprise a first arm and second arm. The first arm and the second arm are linked tougher via a wall or segment at the first end.

A pair of scissors especially designed for children incorporates various ergonomic features to facilitate usage by a child. The shank and handle of one scissor are disposed at an offset angle to the blade. An assist leaf is pivotally mounted to one of the handles and is movable to engage the other handle to establish a minimum opening angle for the blades. The assist leaf in its functional position is resilient and imparts a slight spring reaction force upon application of a compressive force between the thumb and fingers. The minimum opening angle facilitates usage by the child since the opening and closing force on the scissors is lessened. The leaf is pivotal to a retracted position when the blades are in a fully closed position.
