The torsion spring exerts an expansion force to push the first arm and the second arm apart from each other until the first blade and the second blade are engaged together with a gap existing between the cutting edge and the second blade. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20140202007 | PAIR OF GARDEN SCISSORS WITH AN ADJUSTABLE CUTTING ANGLE - A pair of garden scissors with an adjustable cutting angle is provided with first and second scissor members. A positioning protrusion of the first scissor member cooperates with a positioning end of the angle-restricting member of the second scissor member to restrict the maximum cutting angle of the first scissor member, and an adjust member is able to adjust the cutting angle by adjusting the position of the angle-restricting member, so that the cutting angle can be freely adjusted within the movement range of the angle-restricting member. | 07-24-2014 |
| 20150321364 | Snips Operable by a Single Hand - Snips include first and second handles pivotably connected to each other. Each of a pair of cutting members includes a connecting end and a cutting end. The connecting ends of the cutting members are respectively connected to distal ends of the first and second handles. A latch is pivotably mounted to the second handle and extends through a through-hole in the second handle. When the latch is in a locking position, a protrusion of the latch is located in a first section of the through-hole, a hook of the latch engages with a limiting member on the first handle, and the first handle is not pivotable relative to the second handle. When the latch is in the release position, the protrusion is located in a second section of the through-hole, the hook disengages from the limiting member, and the first handle is pivotable relative to the second handle. | 11-12-2015 |
