1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a pair of hairdressing scissors, and more particularly to a pair of hairdressing scissors having connecting device formed on the handle portion thereof, so that plural pairs of such hairdressing scissors can be detachably secured to one another.
2. Description of the Prior Arts
A hairstylist cuts a customer's hair with several techniques, including trimming, thinning, layering, etc. Sometimes the hairstylist has to hold plural pairs of scissors in the same hand for proceeding with the thinning or layering of the hair to obtain the desired special hairstyle.
During operation of the plural pairs of scissors in the same hand, the user must keep the plural pairs of scissors be spaced at regular intervals and operate them with the same operating condition. The plural pairs of scissors must open and close synchronously to obtain a tidy, beautiful hairstyle. However, the plural pairs of scissors are simply held by the index finger and the thumb of the user such that the plural pairs of scissors cannot be operated synchronously due to touchy control of the plural pairs of scissors by the fingers. Thus, the plural pairs of scissors often become skew to one another and the spacing therebetween may be different from one another. The haircutting result is adversely affected, and this problem is aggravated if the user is inexperienced. The user often feels pain when operating the plural pairs of scissors in addition to numerous limitations to and difficulties in operation.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,192,590 B1, 6,434,833 B1 and 6,634,106 B2 disclose hairdressing scissor assemblies to solve the above-mentioned problems. These hairdressing scissor assemblies can be detachably engaged together so as to allow the hairstylist to use them as freely and easily as using one hairdressing scissor assembly.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a pair of hairdressing scissors having connecting device formed on the handle portion thereof, so that plural pairs of such hairdressing scissors can be detachably secured to one another.
A pair of scissors in accordance with the present invention comprises:
a first blade;
a second blade pivotally secured to the first blade;
at least two recesses formed at least one of the first and second blades; and
at least a retainer fixed on at least one of the first and second blades, the retainer having two retaining portions each having an edge, two pairs of scissors are secured to each other in such a manner that an edge of a retainer of a first one of the two pairs of scissors is locked in two recesses of a second one of the two pairs of scissors.
The two retaining portions each have a reverse U shape.
In each of the recess can be arranged a retaining pin, and the two retaining portions each have a V shape, so that two pairs of scissors are secured to each other in such a manner that two elastic retaining portions of a retainer of a first one of the two pairs of scissors are locked onto a retaining pin in each of two recesses of a second one of the two pairs of scissors.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
The handle portions 111 and 121 each include a first surface 113 and 123, a second surface 114 and 124, two lateral surfaces 115, and two lateral surfaces 125.
At least one of the handle portions 111 and 121 of the pair of hairdressing scissors 1 is fixed at least a retainer 2 that includes a baseboard 21 having at least a through hole 23, the baseboard 21 is formed at both side thereof with a reverse U-shaped retaining portion 22 having an edge 221 extending toward the center of the baseboard 21. On the first surface 113 and 123 of the handle portions 111 and 121 are defined threaded holes 118 and 128 correspondingly to the through hole 23 of the retainer 2, so that the retainer 2 can be fixed to the first surface 113 and 123 of the handle portions 111 and 121 by screwing a fastener 24 through the through hole 23 into the threaded holes 118 and 128.
The handle portions 111 and 121 of the pair of hairdressing scissors 1 are defined with recesses 116 and 126 for engaging with the retainer 2, in this embodiment, the recesses 116 and 126 are located on the lateral surfaces 115 and 125, respectively.
Referring further to
In this embodiment, the retainer 3 also includes a baseboard 31 on which is formed at least a through 33 for insertion of the fastener 34, so as to allow the retainer 3 to be fixed to the threaded holes 118 and 128 of the first surfaces 113 and 123 of the handle portions by the fastener 34, as shown in
With references to
The retainers 2 and 3 also can be fixed to the hairdressing scissors by rivet, welding, adhesive, and any other means.
While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
