Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of the mechanical tool, and more particularly, to a pair of scissors.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

In the technical field of the mechanical tool, scissors is a common hand tool. An operator applies pressure on the first handle and the second handle of the scissors to realize the relative movement between the first scissor head and the second scissor head, and the blade of the scissor head assembly act on the object to snip off objects. After the application of the pressure, the operator needs to apply tension on the first scissor head and the second scissor head in order to separate a certain distance between them. In order to facilitate the operation, a person skilled in the art improves the scissors to mount an external spring between the first handle and the second handle, which, on the one hand, makes the spring produce a force against the pressure, thus making the shearing pressure from the cutting edge of the scissor head assembly to objects more even when pressure is applied, and on the other hand, after the pressure, the first handle and the second handle rebound automatically to separate a certain distance between the first scissor head and the second scissor head under the action of the spring.

However, the scissor head assembly of this scissors is generally manufactured by plate stamping, and the plate stamping process generally requests that the width-thickness ratio of the stamping part is about 1.0, and a greater ratio is better for processing, which makes the thickness of the scissor head portion substantially uniform except the blades, and the width-thickness ratio of the scissor head assembly is relatively large, with a relatively blunt top of the blades and a bulky shape. Such scissor head assembly needs a bigger operating space and cannot meet the operating demand of the narrow portion. Moreover, the shearing strength of the blade of the scissor head assembly is limited so that it is difficult to snip a thicker object. As it can be seen, the scissor head assembly requests that it is the sharper the better, and the contradiction between the two cannot be solved by the stamping process. The scissor head assembly must be stamped first, and then be processed by other processing technical in order to achieve the operating requirement of the scissors. Thus, in order to increase the shearing strength, the cost of the existing technology is relatively high. And the space occupied by the entire scissors is large because the outside spring is mounted between the first handle and the second handle. The external spring is easy to damage, and then would impact the working life of the scissors. When shearing objects, a greater force applied on the first handle and the second handle is needed to overcome the resistance of the spring.

Thus, the person skilled in the art devotes to develop a pair of scissors with a more compact structure, better effect of shearing pressure and more comfortable operation.
