Pair of scissors for cutting shellfish

摘要

A pair of scissors for cutting shellfish cleanly and shielding airborne matter created thereby from contacting a user. The pair of scissors include a stationary blade body, a moving blade body, and a shield. The moving blade body is pivotally attached to the stationary blade body and forms therewith a scissor-like device for cutting the shellfish. The shield shields the airborne matter created by cutting the shellfish from contacting the user, and is replaceably disposed on the moving blade body which allows the shield to be removed and washed. The shield includes an attaching portion that is generally channel-shaped and replaceably receives the moving blade body, and a shield portion that includes a distal tip part that is generally pointed for facilitating penetration into the shellfish and a proximal part that is slightly convexo-concave-shaped for shielding the airborne matter created by cutting the shellfish from contacting the user and has a concave surface that is substantially hyperbolic in lateral profile for facilitating rebounding of the airborne matter. The proximal part extends laterally divergingly for a slight distance from the distal tip part, then substantially uniformly, and then laterally convergingly for a slight distance to the attaching portion which prevents interference with the stationary blade body during cutting.
