1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a horticultural scissors, and more particularly to a horticultural scissors capable of reducing the abrasion of a pivot and labor-saving.
2. Description of the Related Art
A horticultural scissors is used to trim grasses and trees in a garden and is not easy as well as paper-cut. While cutting plants and branches and leaves with certain thick and big, the scissors must overcome great resistance than that of normal articles. A great loading may occur on a pivot shaft of combining two blades of a conventional horticultural scissors to have a problem of easily wearing the pivot shaft. Consequently, the two blades may be further loosed to influence the cutting function of the conventional horticultural scissors.
In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor(s) of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and finally developed a labor-saving horticultural scissors as a principle objective. When two blades relatively and pivotally swing, the rotation contact between a rotatable component and the blades is utilized to have an effect of reducing abrasion on pivot shafts between two blades.
To achieve the foregoing objective of the invention, the invention provides a labor-saving horticultural scissors having a first blade and a second blade. One ends of the two blades are formed with a cutting section while another ends are formed with a transmission section. The two blades are intersected and mutually pivoted to pivotally rotate, thereby forming cutting motion, the characterized in that: the transmission section of at least one blade is propped by a rotatable component, and when the two blades pivotally rotate to each other, the rotatable component rolls and displaces along the transmission section.
The foregoing and other technical characteristics of the present invention will become apparent with the detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the illustration of the related drawings.
With reference to
A second blade 2 is intersected with the first blade 1 and pivotally connected to the first pivot portion 13. An upper section of the second blade 2 is another cutting section 21 while a lower section of the second blade 2 is a transmission section 22. Further, a first surface 221 that faces the transmission section 12 of the first blade 1 and a second surface 222 that reversely faces the transmission section 12 of the first blade 1 are respectively formed at two side surfaces of the transmission section 22. Moreover, the bottom end of the transmission section 22 of the second blade 2 outwardly protrudes from the second surface 222 to form a baffle portion 23.
A handlebar 3 is pivotally connected to the second pivot portion 14 of the first blade 1 at top thereof, and the handlebar 3 is disposed with a pivot shaft 31 at a proper distance that is distant from the top thereof and near the second blade 2. A rotatable component 32 is pivoted on the pivot shaft 31 to rotate around the pivot shaft 31. The circumference of the rotatable component 32 leans against the second surface 222 of the transmission section 22. An end of the pivot shaft 31 is disposed with a connection plate 33 (as shown in
In the embodiment, the rotatable component 32 is a ball bearing having an inner ring 322 and an external ring 321. The external ring 321 can rotate around the inner ring 322 through the rolling of the ball, and the external ring 321 of the rotatable component 32 roll on the second surface 222 to generate the displacement. Since the ball bearing generates displacement in a manner of rolling on the contact surface propped by the external ring 321, the abrasion of the contact surface between both can be reduced. The force received loading of the pivot place (as the first pivot portion 13) between the first blade 1 and the second blade 2 can be further shared such that the invention may not be easily damaged.
When the invention is actually used, as shown in
While separating the handlebar 3 and the transmission section 12 of the first blade 1, the handlebar 3 drives the transmission section 22 of the second blade 2 between the rotatable component 32 and the clamping rod 34 to pivotally rotate by taking the first pivot portion 13 as an axis. In this motion, the clamping rod 34 driven by the handlebar 3 leans against the first surface 221 of the transmission section 22 and downwardly slides along the first surface 221 such that the second blade 2 generates a pivot swing motion with respect to the first pivot portion 13. When the clamping rod 34 is displaced to a bottom end of the transmission section 22 along the leaning surface, the rotatable component 32 and the clamping rod 34 are respectively baffled by the baffle portion 23 without coming off.
