20090064503 | Cutter - A device for cutting a thin material such as a foil, fabric, paper and condiment packet is disclosed. The device is particularly suited for persons who lack dexterity in their fingers or palms and have difficulty using scissors for cutting. The device comprises of an angled blade adapted for movement along an axis perpendicular to a plane defined by the material, and a straight stationary blade that together impart a shearing action onto the material. For safe operation, the device is encased in an enclosure having a slot for inserting the material. | 03-12-2009 |
20100236080 | Wire Cutting Device - A wire cutting device includes a base, a fixed blade member mounted on the base, an operation handle including a gripping end adapted to be grasped when operating the wire cutting device and a hinge end pivotally connected to the fixed blade member such that the operation handle is moveable between a first position away from the base and a second position towards the base. The wire cutting device also includes a moving blade mechanism operably controlled by the operation handle. The base can contact with a surface that serves to stably support the wire cutting device, and with the wire cutting device being stably supported by the surface during the operation thereof and thereby making the operation effort-saving. | 09-23-2010 |

20090158598 | Ergonomic Shears - Ergonomic shears according to the present disclosure provides variations in finger relief and thumb alignment to accommodate variations in human physiology and an aligning finger handle that aligns the users fingers into a minimum stress position relative to each other and to the thumb. The thumb apparatus provides three degrees of adjustability to optimize the ergonomics and enable the shears to be used in conventional alignment for cutting away from the user and alternate alignment for cutting toward the user. | 06-25-2009 |
20100064528 | Scissors for accommodating different sized hands and for requiring a minimal force to close - Scissors for accommodating different sized hands and for requiring a minimal force to close. The scissors include a pair of handles, a pair of cutting jaws, and a spring. The pair of cutting jaws extend from the pair of handles so as to form a pair of shanks. The pair of shanks overlap each other at the pair of cutting jaws and are pivotally connected to each other by a pivot pin. The spring is operatively connected to the pair of handles, is so constructed so as to have a non-biased initial open position for accommodating the different sized hands, and is so located for requiring the minimal force to close the pair of handles from the non-biased initial open position. | 03-18-2010 |
20100107421 | CONVERTIBLE CUTTING INSTRUMENT - Described embodiments relate to a convertible cutting instrument with improved safety. In particular, some embodiments relate to a convertible cutting instrument that may be safely handled while blades of the cutting instrument are in a closed position, with no exposed cutting edges. Some further embodiments relate to a convertible cutting instrument that comprises only two cutting edges, both of which are inwardly-facing when the cutting instrument is in a dual-blade configuration. This may render the cutting instrument safer for use as a pair of scissors or shears. A conversion mechanism may be used to convert an inwardly-facing cutting edge into an outwardly facing cutting edge, so that the cutting instrument may be used as a knife. | 05-06-2010 |
20100192384 | Flexible pin for connecting a finger ring to a shank of a cutting device - The present invention is directed to a hair cutting device ( | 08-05-2010 |

20100269356 | Gardening Shears Allowing Entrance of a User's Finger to Facilitate the User Holding the Gardening Shears - A pair of gardening shears include a first pivot base having a first blade and a first handle, a second pivot base pivotally connected with the first pivot base and having a second blade and a connecting portion, a mounting base having a second handle connected with the connecting portion to drive the second pivot base relative to the first pivot base, and a plug having an insert which extends through the mounting base, the first pivot base and the second pivot base and has an inner portion provided with a finger hole. Thus, when a user is operating the first handle and the second handle, the finger hole of the plug allows passage of the user's finger, so that the user can hold the first handle and the second handle stably to operate the shears smoothly. | 10-28-2010 |
20100293792 | Ergonomic Shears - Ergonomic shears according to the present disclosure provides variations in finger relief and thumb alignment to accommodate variations in human physiology and an aligning finger handle that aligns the users fingers into a minimum stress position relative to each other and to the thumb. The thumb apparatus provides three degrees of adjustability to optimize the ergonomics and enable the shears to be used in conventional alignment for cutting away from the user and alternate alignment for cutting toward the user. | 11-25-2010 |
20100293793 | Packaging scissors - Scissors for cutting thermoformed plastic packages, or similar packages, have lever members including a handle portion, a offset portion and a cutting portion. The cutting potion includes cooperating blades of approximately 2.5 inches, with one of the blades having a pointed tip for piercing the packaging material. The offset portion keeps the user's hand at least 1.5 to 2 inches above a cutting plane, such that the cut material, which has sharp edges, does not scratch or cut the user's hand. | 11-25-2010 |
20110047801 | HAND HELD IMPLEMENT - An embodiment of the hand held implement is in the form of a pair of scissors ( | 03-03-2011 |
20110131813 | GRIP STRUCTURE FOR A PAIR OF SCISSORS - A grip structure for a pair of scissors is disclosed. The pair of scissors is provided with a first grip portion to be engaged between the first joint and the joint at the base of the thumb of the user. The first grip portion is centrally formed with a inserting hole for insertion of the first joint of the thumb. The first grip portion is further formed with a concave portion which makes room for the first joint of the thumb when the thumb is inserted in the inserting hole of the first grip portion, ensuring the first grip portion to be located on the first segment bone adjacent to the first joint. | 06-09-2011 |
20120079724 | ADJUSTABLE FINGER LOOP STRUCTURE FOR A SCISSORS - An adjustable finger loop structure for a scissors has a scissors body and at least two finger loops. The scissors body has two scissor blades pivoted together, and each scissor blade has an extension rod. The finger loops each has a through aperture along an inner liner side for jacketing onto a respective extension rod, each through aperture having a radial slot, and each radial slot has a plurality of securing apertures passing through the radial slot the and corresponding securing members for securing the finger loop onto the respective extension rod. | 04-05-2012 |
20120174415 | Scissor Handle Opening Sizer - The present invention has been accomplished to provide cost effective scissor sizer devices that can be used to adjust the size of finger openings on scissors. The sizer may be of a pre-determined size or may be malleable so as to conform to the shape of the scissor handle opening to provide a more secure fit of the sizer with the handle. The sizer may be smooth on its inner surface or may have rough areas on its inner surface in order to help prevent the fingers of the user from slipping within the handle openings. | 07-12-2012 |
20130081282 | ERGONOMIC CUTTING SHEARS - A pair of scissors comprising a first cutting blade comprising a thumb handle and a thumb ring and a second cutting blade comprising 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 that is defined by first and second axes. 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 win the scissors are in use. The longitudinal slot in the thumb handle is situated within a second plane that is defined by the first axis and a third axis that is perpendicular to the first and second axes so that the second plane is perpendicular to the first plane. | 04-04-2013 |
