Poultry shears

The invention relates to a poultry shears with two handles.

Such poultry shears consist of two parts that can move relative to one another and are connected by a hinge pin. On one side of the hinge pin there are two cutting jaws, on the other side there are two handles, which in the current state of the art are smooth or at most have a rough surface structure, but are not adapted to the anatomy of the fingers. If the fingers are greasy or oily and due to the angle of the handles in the starting position, this means that the handles can slip in the operator's hand and handling becomes unsafe.

The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a poultry shears of the type mentioned at the beginning, which enables better handling, i.e. is designed more ergonomically.

The solution to the problem is achieved according to the invention in the poultry shears specified at the beginning in that the lower handle in the use position is provided with individual finger recesses.

This has the advantage that the operator's fingers fit snugly into the lower handle, so that the hand is prevented from slipping.

Particularly advantageous further embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are characterized in that:

a) the lower handle is provided with four finger recesses,

b) the finger recesses are integrally formed on the lower handle,

c) the lower handle has a central metal bar onto which shell parts with finger recesses are placed on both sides,

d) the lower handle has a central metal bar onto which a U-shaped shell part with finger recesses is placed from below and/or

e) the shell parts are made of a plastic material.

An embodiment of the subject matter of the invention and its possible variations are explained in more detail below using Figures 1 to 5.

Show it: .·

Figure 1 is a side view of a poultry shears,

Figure 2 is a plan view of the poultry shears according to Figure 1,

Figure 3 a cross-section through a solid handle,

Figure 4 shows a cross-section through a handle with two shell parts attached to the sides and

Figure 5 shows a cross-section through a handle with an attached U-shaped shell part.

The poultry shears according to Figures 1 and 2 have two metal cutting jaws 1 and 2, which are connected to one another via a hinge pin 3. Beyond the hinge pin 3, the cutting jaws 1 and 2 continue in two handles 4 and 5, of which the handle 5 is at the bottom when in use. Its underside is provided with four arched, concave finger recesses 6, between which there are three bead-shaped projections 7. At the ends of the handle 5 there are two further bead-shaped projections 8 and 9.

In the embodiment according to Figures 1, 2 and 4, the handles 4 and 5 each have a central metal web 10, onto which a plate-shaped shell part 11 and 12 is placed on both sides, for example - as shown
by means of rivets 13 or by means of an adhesive connection. The metal web 10 and the shell parts 11 and 12 are shaped on their undersides in accordance with the above statements, so that a common undulating underside is created which is free of sharp edges.

Figure 3 shows a cross section through a lower handle 5CL| which is solid and manufactured, for example, by forging or pressing.

Figure 4 shows the already described cross-section through the lower handle 5 in Figures 1 and 2 with a metal bar 10 and two... side-mounted shells 11 and 12 made of plastic.

Figure 5 shows a variant of the handle according to Figure 4, in which a U-shaped shell part 14 made of plastic is placed from below or outside onto the metal web 10a.
