Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pivotal device for a pair of scissors.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings illustrate a pair of conventional scissors A including a first scissor element 100 and a second scissor element 200.
  • the first scissor element 100 and the second scissor element 200 are pivotally connected by a pivotal device consisting of a bolt or screw 300 and a nut 400.
  • a pivotal device consisting of a bolt or screw 300 and a nut 400.
  • on the first scissor element 100 is defined a through-hole 101 and on the second scissor element 200 is defined a countersink 201.
  • the countersink 201 includes a relatively smaller section 202 aligned with the through-hole 101 of the first scissor element 100 and a relatively larger section 203.
  • the screw 300 has a threaded shank 301 extending through the relatively smaller section 202 of the countersink 201 and the through-hole 101 of the first scissor element 100 and then engaged with a screw hole (not labeled) of the nut 400, with an enlarged head 302 of the screw 300 being fittingly received in the relatively larger section 203 of the countersink 201.
  • the pivotal arrangement is apt to be loosened in application of the scissors A, the relative pivotal rotation between the first scissor element 100 and the second scissor element 200 will bring on a rotation of the screw 300 relative to the nut 400 due to the nut 400 is unfixed, and this causes the screw 300 to be loosened or disengaged from the nut 400.
  • the exposed nut 400 abuts against the outer surface of the first scissor element 100, it may cause interference to the opening and closing of the first scissor element 100 and the second scissor element 200 of the scissors A.
  • screwing the screw 300 with the nut 400 is not convenient since the user has to position the nut 400 with one hand while screwing the screw 300 with another hand.
  • the present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
  • EP 0 195 868 discloses for example a lap joint between two jaw halves of scissors.
  • a circular shaped internally-threaded bushing is sized and adapted to be tight and thus non-rotating fit in the lower jaw half, and in the same time to provide a rotating pivot retainer in the upper mating jaw half.
  • the inner end of the bushing extends into a counterbore recess formed in the upper jaw half.
  • a non-metallic washer of impregnated fibre having anti-friction properties is placed in this counterbore and a threaded retaining screw is screwed in the bushing. This screw is tightened so that the portion of the washer in contact with the jaw half is brought to the desired degree of tightness in the lap joint.
  • the portion of the washer between the bushing projecting end and the screw under surface is further compressed to provide an urging force and a resulting braking effect against loosening.
  • EP 0 507 712 deals with an assembling device for the two pivoting arms of a pair of scissors.
  • This device comprises a rigid plastic component having a cylindrical part, extended at one of its ends by a bearing head and at the other end by a part of non-round cross-section but dimensionally inscribed inside the circumference of the cylindrical part.
  • Both cylindrical and non-round cross-section parts are axially pierced by a blind threaded hole for screwing a screw after assembling the two pivoting arms on the plastic component.
  • the lower pivoting arm is pierced with a round orifice corresponding to the dimensions of the cylindrical part of the plastic component, whereas the upper arm is pierced with a non-round orifice corresponding to the shape of the non-round cross-section part of this component.
  • a pair of scissors in accordance with the present invention includes a first scissor element, a second scissor element, and a pivotal device for pivotally engaging the first scissor element with the second scissor element.
  • the first scissor element includes a countersink extending from a first side of the first scissor element through a second side of the first scissor element.
  • the countersink of the first scissor element has a relatively larger section facing away from the second scissor element and a relatively smaller section facing the second scissor element.
  • the second scissor element includes a countersink extending from a first side of the second scissor element through a second side of the second scissor element.
  • the countersink of the second scissor element has a relatively larger section facing away from the first scissor element and a relatively smaller section facing the first scissor element and aligned with the relatively smaller section of the countersink of the first scissor element.
  • the pivotal device includes a screw and a nut.
  • the screw includes a threaded shank and an enlarged head.
  • the nut includes a shank and an enlarged head, with a screw hole extending through the shank and the enlarged head of the nut.
  • the nut is received in the countersink of the first scissor element, with the enlarged head of the nut being received in the relatively larger section of the countersink of the first scissor element, and with the shank extending through the relatively smaller section of the countersink of the first scissor element and the relatively smaller section of the countersink of the second scissor element.
  • the threaded shank of the screw is threadedly engaged with the screw hole of the nut, with the enlarged head of the screw being received in the relatively larger section of the countersink of the second scissor element.
  • the nut Through engagement of the non-circular enlarged head in the non-circular larger section, the nut is non-rotatably received in the countersink of the first scissor element.
  • the screw is less likely to rotate relative to the nut when the scissor elements pivot, and the risk of loosening of the screw and/or the nut is effectively reduced.
  • a reliable pivotal arrangement is provided accordingly.
  • the scissors can be used more easily.
  • a pair of scissors B in accordance with the present invention comprises a first scissor element 10, a second scissor element 20, and a pivotal device for pivotally engaging the first scissor element 10 with the second scissor element 20.
  • the first scissor element 10 includes a countersink 11 extending from a first side of the first scissor element 10 through a second side of the first scissor element 10.
  • the countersink 11 of the first scissor element 10 has a relatively larger section 12 facing away from the second scissor element 20 and a relatively smaller section 13 facing the second scissor element 20.
  • the larger section 12 is of a non-circular shape, such as triangle, quadrangle... ellipse and other shapes.
  • the larger section 12 as shown in Fig. 7 is of an approximate ellipse shape.
  • the second element 20 includes a countersink 21 extending from a first side of the second scissor element 20 through a second side of the second scissor element 20.
  • the countersink 21 of the second scissor element 20 has a relatively larger section 22 facing away from the first scissor element 10 and a relatively smaller section 23 facing the first scissor element 10 and aligned with the relatively smaller section 13 of the countersink 11 of the first scissor element 10.
  • the pivotal device includes a bolt or screw 30 and a nut 40.
  • the screw 30 includes a threaded shank 31 (having an outer threading) and an enlarged head 32.
  • the nut 40 includes a shank 41 and an enlarged head 42, with a screw hole 43 extending through the shank 41 and the enlarged head 42.
  • the enlarged head 42 is of a non-circular shape and formed correspondingly to the shape of the large section 12 as shown in Fig. 7.
  • the nut 40 is inserted into the countersink 11 of the first scissor element 10, with the enlarged head 42 being fittingly received in the relatively larger section 12 of the countersink 11, and with the shank 41 extending through the relatively smaller section 13 of the countersink 11 of the first scissor element 10 and the relatively smaller section 23 of the countersink 21 of the second scissor element 20.
  • the threaded shank 31 of the screw 30 is threadedly engaged with the screw hole 43 of the nut 40 until the enlarged head 32 of the screw 30 is fittingly received in the relatively larger section 22 of the countersink 21 of the second scissor element 20.
  • the enlarged head 32 of the screw 30 includes a slot 33, allowing the user to drive the screw 30 with a screwdriver or the like.
  • the nut 40 is non-rotatably received in the countersink 11 of the first scissor element 10, so that the nut 40 will not inference the operation of the first scissor element 10, thus the scissors can be used more conveniently.
  • the screw 30 and the nut 40 can be screwed easily without requesting user to position the nut 40, making it easier and more convenient to pivotally connect the first scissor element 10 to the second scissor element 20.
  • a pair of scissors in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention is similar with that of the first embodiment, except that the shank 41 of the nut 40 is engaged with the relatively smaller section 13 of the countersink 11 of the first scissor element 10.
