The present invention relates to a garden shears, and more particularly to a two-handed style garden shears
Accordingly, current garden shears have two opposite cutting blades. A long rod-shaped handle below the cutting blades and each middle section of the handle is provided with a through aperture and pivoted together by a nut and a screw through the aperture. When force is applied to the handle, the aperture can be used as the axis to make the cutting blade open and close.
However, the above-mentioned conventional structure still has the following problems in practical applications: the opening that the garden shears can provide is limited, so the garden shears cannot be used for pruning thicker branches.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a garden shears to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.
An objective of present invention is to provide a shelf structure, which is capable of improving the above-mention problems.
In order to achieve the above mentioned objective, a garden shears has a first blade member, a second blade member, a controlling handle and a protecting member. The first blade member has a first cutting portion, a first aperture at a middle section, a first toothed section adjacent to the first aperture and below the first cutting portion. The second blade member has a second cutting portion, a second aperture at a middle section, a third aperture at a lower end. The controlling handle has a driving member with a fourth aperture and the second toothed section on a top edge at an upper section. The protecting member has a main body with two opposing ear portions, each ear portion having a fifth aperture and a sixth aperture.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Please refer to
The protecting member 40 has a main body 41 with two opposing ear portions, each ear portion has a fifth aperture 42 and a sixth aperture 43. The protecting member 40 is mounted on the first blade member 10 on a side other than the same side as the second blade member 20. Moreover, a first pivoting member 50 is inserted through the fifth aperture 42 to pivot the first blade member 10, the second blade member 20 and the controlling handle 30 together. Moreover, the second pivoting member 500 is inserted into the sixth aperture 43 to pivot the protecting member 40 between the first blade member 10 and the driving member 31 of the controlling handle 30. The protecting member 40 also provides limitation to the driving member 31 of the controlling handle 30 with the second blade member 20, so that the controlling handle 30 is securely assembled between the second blade member 20 and the protecting member 40.
In addition, the first cutting portion 11 and the second cutting portion 21 are corresponding blades.
Alternatively, the second cutting portion 21 is a blade, and the first cutting portion 11 is a corresponding anvil.
Furthermore, the first toothed section 13 and the second toothed section 33 respectively have multiple teeth.
Moreover, the main body 41 of the protecting member 40 has a through aperture 44 for discharging, to prevent obstacles from interfering and causing the first toothed section 13 and the second toothed section 33 jam together. Also the through aperture 44 reduces the contacting surface which resulting less resistance.
In addition, the first pivoting member 50 comprises a bolt and a nut combination.
Additionally, the second pivoting member 500 comprises a bolt and a nut combination.
As shown in
With the structure of the above-mentioned specific embodiment, the following benefits can be obtained: 1. The structure of the garden shears can be used for trimming thicker cut objects and increase the shearing force, so the use of the above garden shears is more time-saving and labor-saving comprehensively. 2. With protecting member 40, the rotation of the controlling handle 30 is more stable, and it also prevents the controlling handle 30 from being cut too hard causing abnormal shaking or displacement. 3. With the protecting member 40, it prevents the operating hand from getting too close to the engagement the first toothed section 13 and the second toothed section 33 and being accidentally injured. 4. The protecting member 40 reinforces the pivot structure of the first blade member 10, the second blade member 20 and the controlling handle 30, so that the overall strength of the garden shears can is significantly improved. 5. The extension of the two ear portions of the protecting member 40 effectively disperse the force to prevent the stress under shearing from being concentrated on a single point. Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of invention as hereinafter claimed.
