Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pair of hairdressing scissors and the connecting device thereof, and more particularly to a pair of hairdressing scissors having connecting device formed on the handle portion thereof, so that plural pairs of such hairdressing scissors can be detachably secured to one another.
  • a hairstylist cuts a customer's hair with several techniques, including trimming, thinning, layering, etc. Sometimes the hairstylist has to hold plural pairs of scissors in the same hand for proceeding with the thinning or layering of the hair to obtain the desired special hairstyle.
  • the user During operation of the plural pairs of scissors in the same hand, the user must keep the plural pairs of scissors be spaced at regular intervals and operate them with the same operating condition.
  • the plural pairs of scissors must open and close synchronously to obtain a tidy, beautiful hairstyle.
  • the plural pairs of scissors are simply held by fingers of the user such that the plural pairs of scissors cannot be operated synchronously due to touchy control of the plural pairs of scissors by the fingers.
  • the plural pairs of scissors often become skew to one another and the spacing therebetween may be different from one another.
  • the haircutting result is adversely affected, and this problem is aggravated if the user is inexperienced.
  • the user often feels pain when operating the plural pairs of scissors in addition to numerous limitations to and difficulties in operation.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,192,590 B1 , 6,434,833 B1 and 6,634,106 B2 disclose hairdressing scissor assemblies to solve the above-mentioned problems. These hairdressing scissor assemblies can be detachably engaged together so as to allow the hairstylist to use them as freely and easily as using one hairdressing scissor assembly.
  • the present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
  • the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a pair of hairdressing scissors having connecting device formed on the handle portion thereof, so that plural pairs of such hairdressing scissors can be detachably secured to one another.
  • a pair of scissors and connecting device thereof comprising:
  • the recess can be formed a protrusion, so that a retainer of a first one of the two pairs of scissors is locked in a recess of a second one of the two pairs of scissors and a hook of the retainer of the first one of the two pairs of scissors is secured to a protrusion of the second one of the two pairs of scissors.
  • a cavity is formed on an outer lateral surface of at least one of the first and second blades, the retainer has a sheet-like body and is provided at either side thereof with a connecting portion that is to be inserted in the cavity, and the pivot is inserted the connecting portion and the cavity.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pair of hairdressing scissors in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, and also shows an amplified view of a part of a handle portion 111.
  • the pair of hairdressing scissors 1 includes a first blade 11 and a second blade 12. To the end of the first and second blades 11 and 12 are connected handle portions 111, 121 each having an opening 115 and 125 for fingers of the user.
  • the first and second blades 11, 12 are pivotally connected through a pivot 13.
  • Fig. 2 is an amplified view of showing a part of the right handle portion of the scissors in Fig. 1 where the retainer is mounted, the handle portions 111, 121 each includes a first side 112 and 122, a second side 113 and 123, and an outer lateral surface 114 and 124 located between the first side and the second side.
  • Fig. 3 shows that three pairs of scissors are coupled together
  • Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of a part of the scissors of Fig. 3 .
  • the characteristic of this embodiment is that on the outer lateral surfaces 114 and 124 of the pair of scissors 1 is provided at least a retainer 2 for retaining another a pair of scissors. With this method, a plurality of pairs of scissors can be detachably locked together.
  • At least two cavities 116 and 126 are formed on the outer lateral surface 114 and 124 of the handle portion 111 and 121.
  • the retainer 2 has a sheet-like body 21 and is provided at the front end thereof with a protrusion 22. On a side of the body 21 facing the outer lateral surfaces 114 and 124 is formed a hook 24, and on either side of a rear end of the body 21 is formed a connecting portion 23 that is vertical to the body 21 and employed to insert in the cavities 116 and 126.
  • a recess 117 and 127 located adjacent to the secured retainer 2.
  • the recess 117 and 127 is arranged between the outer lateral surface 114 and the second side 113, and a hole 119, 129 is formed for allowing a pin 26 to transversely insert in the recess 117 and 127.
  • Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view of Fig. 3 taken along the line 5-5, the scissors are detachably coupled together by the following steps: firstly, abutting the first sides 112 and 122 of the pair of scissors 1 a against the second sides 113 and 123 of the pair of scissors 1 in such a manner that the retainers 2 of the scissors 1 a are aligned with the recesses 117 and 127 of the scissors 1. And then pressing the hooks 24 of the retainers 2 onto the pins 26, in this way, a plurality of pairs of scissors can be fastened one another. And the respective pairs of scissors can be released easily by pulling the retainers 2 away from the pins 26.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a pair of hairdressing scissors in accordance with the second embodiment of the present invention, and also shows an amplified view of a part of a handle portion 111.
  • Fig. 7 is an amplified view of a part of the right handle portion of the scissors in Fig. 6 where the retainer is mounted.
  • Fig. 9 shows that three pairs of scissors are piled up together.
  • the retainers 2 are also pivotally fixed to the outer lateral surfaces 114 and 124 of the handle portions 111 and 121. And on the outer lateral surfaces 114 and 124 is defined a recess 117a and 127a in which is formed a protrusion 117b and 127b for retaining the hook 24 of the retainers 2.
  • the scissors are detachably coupled together by the following steps: firstly, abutting the first sides 112 and 122 of the pair of scissors 1 a against the second sides 113 and 123 of the pair of scissors 1 in such a manner that the retainers 2 of the scissors 1 a are aligned with the recesses 117a and 127a of the scissors 1. And then pressing the hooks 24 of the retainers 2 onto the protrusions 117b and 127b inside the recesses 117a and 127a, in this way, a plurality of pairs of scissors can be fastened together, as shown in Fig. 10 . And the respective pairs of scissors can be released easily by pulling the retainers 2 away from the protrusions 117b and 127b.
  • FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a pair of hairdressing scissors in accordance with the third embodiment of the present invention, and which also shows an amplified view of a part of a handle portion 111.
  • Fig. 12 is an amplified view of showing a part of the right handle portion of the scissors in Fig. 11 where the retainer is mounted.
  • Fig. 13 shows that three pairs of scissors are piled up together.
  • Fig. 14 is a cross sectional view of showing the respective pairs of scissors before being connected.
  • the retainers 2 are also pivotally fixed to the outer lateral surfaces 114 and 124 of the handle portions 111 and 121. And on the outer lateral surfaces 114 and 124 is defined at least a cavity 116 and 126 in which is pivotally disposed a retainer 2.
  • the retainer 2 has a sheet-like body 21, at a side of the retainer 2 is provided a protrusion 22, while at another opposite side of the retainer 2 is formed a notch 27 for mating with the protrusion 22 (the notch 27 is formed correspondingly to the shape of the protrusion 22).
  • the sheet-like body 21 at either side of the notch 27 is folded into two coaxial tube-like connecting portions 23.
  • the scissors are detachably coupled together by the following steps: firstly, abutting the first sides 112 and 122 of the pair of scissors 1 a against the second sides 113 and 123 of the pair of scissors 1 in such a manner that the retainers 2 of the scissors 1 a are aligned with the notch 27 of the retainer 2 of the scissors 1. And then pressing the hooks 24 of the retainers 2 onto the pivot 25 and the protrusion 22 of the retainer 2 of the scissors 1 a will be mated with the notch 27 of the retainer 2 of the scissors 1.
