Scissors

摘要

Provided are scissors with excellent safety that can more reliably prevent finger pinch when being closed. In the present invention, finger pinch prevention guards 20a, 20b for preventing fingertips from entering the opposing inner surfaces 10a, 10b side from above or below are formed on left and right operation portions 7a, 7b. This can prevent user's fingertips from reaching the opposing inner surfaces (10a, 10b) by setting the user's fingertips inserted into finger placing holes (6a, 6b) along upper and lower surfaces of the finger pinch prevention guards 20a, 20b. Consequently, when the operation portions 7a, 7b are in the closed position, the fingertips are prevented from being pinched between the opposing inner surfaces 10a, 10b so as not to cause finger pinch.

主权项

1. Scissors comprising:
a pair of upper and lower scissor pieces having cutting portions at front ends thereof and handle portions at rear ends thereof; a rotation center shaft provided in center portions in a front-rear direction of the scissor pieces so as to crossingly and swingably support the scissor pieces with each other, the scissor pieces being assembled in an X-shape, the rotation center shaft being oriented to an up-down direction that is perpendicular to the front-rear direction; and a pair of left and right operation portions (7a, 7b) attached to the handle portions of the scissor pieces and having left and right placing holes (6a, 6b) for placing fingertips of a user, the left operation portion (7a) with the left finger placing hole (6a) being connected to the lower scissor piece (4a) and the right operation portion (7b) with the right finger placing hole (6b) being connected to the upper scissor piece (4b), wherein with the fingertips placed on the finger placing holes, the cutting portions are opened and closed by opening and closing the both operation portions about the rotation center shaft between an open position in which opposing inner surfaces of the both operation portions are apart from each other and a closed position in which the opposing inner surfaces of the both operation portions are close to each other, left and right finger pinch prevention guards (20a, 20b) are respectively provided on the left and right operation portions,
the left finger pinch prevention guard being formed on an upper end of the left operation portion, extending in a cantilever manner toward the right finger placing hole, andthe right finger pinch prevention guard being formed on a lower end of the right operation portion, extending in a cantilever manner toward the left finger placing hole, andthe left and right finger pinch prevention guards being respectively overlapped with an upper end surface (16b) of the right operation portion and a lower end surface (16a) of the left operation portions when the both operation portions are in the closed position, an opposing gap (OGa) having a predetermined space (SPa) is formed in the up-down direction between the left finger pinch prevention guard (20a) and the upper end surface (16b), and another opposing gap (OGb) having a predetermined space (SPb) is formed in the same direction as the opposing gap between the right finger pinch prevention guard (20b) and the lower end surface (16a), the upper end surface of the right operation portion and the lower end surface of the left operation portion are opposed to the finger pinch prevention guards when the both operation portions are in the closed position, and due to the opposing gap and the another opposing gap, the finger pinch prevention guards and the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the right and left operation portions opposed to the finger pinch prevention guards do not make contact with each other when the both operation portions are in the closed position.
