Definitions

  • the invention relates to double scissors, in particular hair cutting scissors, with the features of the introductory part of claim 1.
  • Combination hair cutting scissors in the form of double scissors are out FR 2 601 279 A and AT 395 552 B are known.
  • a pair of double scissors with the features of the introductory part of claim 1 is from the GB 1 537 614 A is known. With the GB 1 537 614 A the scissors are in the Area of the pivotable connection of their cutting blades in one predetermined distance connected. So the distance the scissors in the direction of the axis around which the cutting blades of the both scissors are pivotable to each other, is with the scissors according to GB 1 537 614 A cannot be changed.
  • the invention is based on the object, the known double scissors to improve and especially adjusting the scissors in the area to design their joint between the cutting blades so that the scissors independently from each other to the optimal one Cutting effect, so the correct "pull" can be set can.
  • this task is performed with a pair of double scissors Features of claim 1 solved.
  • each of the scissors the double scissors according to the invention independently of the other scissors be set so that it has the optimal "train", ie cuts particularly well.
  • Fig. 1 seen from the side a double scissors according to the invention in Form of hair cutting scissors.
  • Fig. 2 shows the two scissors of the double scissors in an exploded view
  • Fig. 3 without finger rings trained scissors of the double scissors in pulled apart Representation
  • Fig. 4 shows a detail in the coupling of the 5, a section along the line V-V 4, FIG. 6, the coupling from FIGS. 4 and 5 in the engaged position
  • Fig. 7 is a section along the line VII-VII in Fig. 6
  • Fig. 8 is a Detail in the area of one leg of one of the scissors, Fig.
  • FIG. 9 one Detail of the connection of the scissors in the area of the legs, Fig. 9 in an exploded view the articulation of the Scissors, Fig. 11 the hinge connection screws of Fig. 10 in Oblique view and partially cut (Fig. 11c), Fig. 12 a double scissors according to the invention from the side of the scissors with smooth Cutting blades seen from, and Fig. 13, the scissors of Fig. 12 of seen from the side of the scissors with serrated cutting blades.
  • double scissors consist of two Scissors 1 and 2.
  • the scissors 1 have two toothed cutting blades 3 and 4, in the area of the axis 5 by a screw 6 against each other are pivotally connected to each other.
  • the scissors 1 can also be a smooth and a serrated or serrated Have cutting blade, as indicated in Fig. 3.
  • the legs 7 of the scissors 1 are at their ends 8 to the other scissors 2 angled and are fork-shaped at the free end 9.
  • the second pair of scissors 2 has 2 smooth cutting blades 10 and 11 which have a screw 12 in the area the axis 5 are pivotally connected to each other.
  • Finger rings 14 are on the free ends of the legs 13 of the scissors 2 provided, via which the scissors 1 and 2 like ordinary scissors can be used.
  • the legs 13 of the scissors 2 point in the region of the finger rings 14 flattened areas 15 over which the fork-shaped end 9 of the Leg 7 of the other scissors 1 engages so that when you press the Scissors 2 is also operated with the scissors 1 via the finger rings 14.
  • the fit of the fork-shaped ends 9 on the legs 13 is loose, so that the ends 9 are movable relative to the legs 13 of the scissors 2 are led.
  • the cutting blades 3 and 4 of the scissors 1 without finger rings are in the shown embodiment bent in area 28 towards scissors 2, where the angle of the kink is only a few degrees, for example Is 1 °.
  • the extent of the kink can be for the cutting blades 3.4 of the scissors 1 may be of different sizes.
  • 10 and 11 show that as joints between the cutting blades 3, 4 and 10, 11 of the scissors 1 and 2 serving connecting screws 6 and 12 of the scissors 1 and 2.
  • the connecting screw 6 connects only the cutting blades 3 and 4 of the scissors 1 and the connecting screw 12 only connects the cutting blades 10 and 11 of the scissors 2 with each other. So the cutting blades 3 and 4 of the scissors 1 on the one hand and the cutting blades 10 and 11 of the scissors 2, on the other hand, by actuating the associated ones Connection screws 6 and 12 independently optimal cutting effect (“pull”) can be set.
  • 10 and 11 also show that in one of the two screws 6 and 12 - in shown embodiment in the connecting screw 12 - a Hinge pin 20 is inserted into one hole 21 in the other Screw 6 engages, as shown in FIGS. 11b and 11c.
  • the scissors 1 and 2 are in the region 30 of their legs 7 and 13 connected with each other.
  • the connection of the legs 7 and 13 is so formed that the distance between the legs 7 and 13 from each other and so that the alignment of the two scissors 1 and 2 in the area of their Cutting blades 3 and 4 or 10 and 11 to each other on each optimal value, i.e. optimal cutting effect can.
  • the location of the Scissors 1 and 2 to each other, i.e. the angle they are with each other include, be adjusted.
  • the two swivel Scissors 1 and 2 around the area of the coupling of their legs 7 and 13 in the area of the fork-shaped ends 9 and the flattened area 15 to each other. It is preferred that only one of the legs 7 of the Scissors 1 in area 30 with the associated leg 13 of the scissors 2 is firmly connected. Usually this will be the one on the right in FIG Leg 7 be. The other leg 7 lies over its projection 31 to the lead. 31 of the leg 13.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 An example of such a connection is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 shown.
  • the legs 7 of the scissors 1 and the legs 13 of the Scissors 2 have projections 31 to be directed towards one another in the region 30 on.
  • Bores 32, 33 are provided in the area of the projections 31.
  • the bore 32 is designed as a threaded bore, whereas the bore 33 is designed as a stepped bore, the further area the head 34 of a connecting screw 35 which in the threaded bore 32 is screwed in.
  • the head 34 becomes the Connection screw 35 in the hole 33 in the axial direction preferably fixed immovably only in one area 30 of the two areas 30, so that the distance between the two legs 7 and 13, once it has been set to the desired value, cannot be changed is maintained.
  • an elastic ring 38 be inserted between the head 34 of the connecting screw 35 and the floor or the shoulder of the stepped hole 33. Additionally or alternatively, can be between the each other facing surfaces of the projections 31 an elastic washer 39 or an elastic ring 38 can be inserted.
  • the elastic Rings or discs 38 and 39 ensure a desired setting of the Distance between the legs 7 and 13 and thus the alignment of the two Scissors 1 and 2 in the area of their cutting blades 3, 4 and 10, 11 to each other.
  • Figures 10 and 11 show a practical embodiment of a scissors according to the invention seen from different sides.
  • the double scissors according to the invention has 1 and 2 different scissors thanks to their different scissors Advantages on.
  • the toothed cutting edges provided, for example can have a 3 to 9 mm large, essentially on each tip have smooth cutting edges. These cutting edges make it possible an intense fringe of the tips of the hair when cutting over the fingers.
  • the distance between the scissors 1 and the scissors 2 is in the range of Cutting blades preferably about 4 to 5 mm.
  • the distance can vary according to the desired cutting result - but also smaller or to be taller.
  • the distance of the teeth or teeth of the cutting blades 3, 4 of the scissors 1, like their width, can have a size other than that have shown in the drawings.
  • an embodiment of the invention can be as follows being represented:
  • a double scissor has two interconnected, different trained cutting blades 3,4; 10,11 having scissors 1 and 2.
  • the connecting screws 6 and 12 of the two scissors 1 and 2, which the cutting blades 3, 4 and 10, 11 of the scissors 1 and 2 respectively hinged together, are independent of each other adjustable.
  • the scissors 1 and 2 are in the area of the pivot axis 5, around which the cutting blades 3, 4 or 10, 11 can be pivoted relative to one another are interconnected by a hinge pin 20.
