The invention relates to secateurs/pruning scissors which are provided with a cutting jaw at a distance above a geared-down mechanism and which can be positioned with great ease at a variable distance, even through thick stems. It consists of a general support (1) which has at one end a hook-blade and at the other end an element for attaching a handle. An articulated blade (2) which is secured on the base receives directly the movement by a connecting rod (3) which is connected to an inter-support lever (4) centered on the general support and controlled manually by means of a string. A spring (5) actuates the lever (4) in such a way as to command the opening of the tool. The lever, the connecting rod and the spring are retracted along the general support and beneath the articulated blade. The invention may be used for pruning back trees, fruit trees, decorative plants, and, generally, pruning trees with dense foliage. <IMAGE> |
