  • the first and second cutting members 10,20 of each scissor 1 have sleeves 13 and 23 and engaging members 15 and 25 symmetrically disposed at two opposite sides.
  • This design of hairdressing scissor assembly is still not satisfactory in function. Because the connection between the respective engaging members 15 and 25 and the respective sleeves 13 and 23 is a "sleeve joint", the respective engaging members 15 and 25 may easily be separated from the respective sleeves 13 and 23 by an accident. Further, because same pitch is provided between each two scissors, the scissors cannot be adjusted to achieve a stepped cutting subject to the shape and amount of hair of different clients, showing a stepped sense of beauty.
  • the present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view.
  • the combination hairdressing scissor assembly comprises a plurality of male connecting members and a plurality of female connecting members symmetrically provided at two opposite sides of each pair of hairdressing scissors for enabling a plural pairs of hairdressing scissors to be connected in parallel by fastening the male connecting members of one pair of hairdressing scissors into the female connecting members of another pair of hairdressing scissors.
  • Each female connecting member has a front receiving open chamber.
  • Each male connecting member has two parallel insertion blocks engageable into the front receiving open chamber of the corresponding female connecting member by force.
  • the male connecting members and the female connecting members can be provided at different elevations such that the pairs of hairdressing scissors can be connected in parallel at different elevations.
  • the male connecting members or female connecting members can be prepared at different sizes such that the pairs of hairdressing scissors are kept spaced from one another at a different pitch to fit different hair cutting requirements when connected together.
  • a combination hairdressing scissor assembly in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention comprising pairs of hairdressing scissors 2 each having first and second cutting members 30 and 40 that are pivoted together by a pivot 50.
  • the first cutting member 30 comprises a first handle 31 on an end thereof.
  • the second cutting member 40 comprises a second handle 41 on an end thereof.
  • the first handle 31 and the second handle 41 each comprise at least one screw hole 32 or 42 at each of the two opposite sides thereof.
  • Male connecting members 70 and female connecting members 60 are respectively fastened to the screw holes 32 and 42 of the handles 31 and 41 of the first and second cutting members 30 and 40 at two opposite side.
  • Each female connecting member 60 comprises a receiving open chamber 61 facing the front side thereof, and a retaining hole 62 in one lateral side in communication with the receiving open chamber 61.
  • Each male connecting member 70 comprises two parallel insertion blocks 71 insertable into the receiving open chamber 61, each insertion block 71 having a beveled front guide portion 72, and a retaining stub rod 73 protruded from the outer surface of one of the insertion blocks 71 corresponding to the retaining hole 62.
  • the female connecting member 60 and the male connecting member 70 are respectively fastened to a respective screw hole 42 or 32.
  • the female connecting member 60 and the male connecting member 70 can be respectively fastened to the handle 41 or 31 through a plug joint, by means of the application of an adhesive, by welding, or by means of any of a variety of conventional techniques.
  • each insertion block 71 of each of the male connecting members 70 at the handles 31 and 41 of the first and second cutting member 30 and 40 of one pair of scissors By means of engaging the parallel insertion blocks 71 of each of the male connecting members 70 at the handles 31 and 41 of the first and second cutting member 30 and 40 of one pair of scissors into the receiving open chambers 61 of the corresponding female connecting members 60 at the handles 31 and 41 of the first and second cutting member 30 and 40 of another pair of scissors (see FIG. 4) to force the respective retaining stub rods 73 into the respective retaining holes 62 (see FIG. 5), plural pairs of scissors 2 are connected in parallel (see FIG. 6). Further, because each insertion block 71 has a beveled front guide portion 72, the insertion blocks 71 of the male connecting member 70 can easily be forced into the receiving open chamber 61 of the corresponding female connecting member 60.
  • the handles 31 and 41 can be made having vertically spaced screw holes 32 or 42 such that the female connecting members 60 and the male connecting members 70 can be respectively installed in the handles 31 and 41 of the first and second cutting member 30 and 40 at different elevations for enabling a plural pairs of hairdressing scissors 2 to be connected in parallel at different elevations (see FIG. 7) for thinning and trimming the hair, causing the hair to show a stepped sense of beauty.
