Abstract

Kitchen scissors are disclosed to prevent a material of a desired thickness from being slipped over blades of the scissors, in which each blade is provided with an arc-shaped cutting edge, thereby easily cutting the material. The kitchen scissors include two blades (10) joined by a swivel pin (16) at a cross point, and a handle (18) coupled to an end of each blade (10) and having a hole receiving a finger or fingers of a user. An arc-shaped cutting edge (12) is formed on each blade (10) so that a center of the blade is concaved.

Description

Title: THE SCISSOR FOR KITCHEN

Technical Field

The present invention relates to scissors capable of easily cutting

materials, such as foods, placed between blades, to prevent the materials from

being slipped over the blades, when the scissors cut various thick foods (e.g.,

meat, kimchi and so forth).

Background Art

Generally, scissors are cutting implements consisting of two blades

joined by a swivel pin that allows the cutting edges to be opened and closed to

cut fabric, paper, hair or the like. Recently, kitchen scissors are used to cut

foods to cut kimchi or meat in homes or restaurants, without using a chopping

board.

The scissors usually have a pair of blades each having a straight cutting

edge to easily cut thin or slender materials. However, in case where thick

materials such as kimchi or meat are cut with common scissors in a kitchen, the

material is not easily caught by the scissors, and thus is slid on the blades,

since the blades are tapered towards its end. Therefore, the foods are no

easily cut with the common scissors. Disclosure

Technical Problem

The present invention has been made in view of the foregoing

problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide kitchen scissors

capable of preventing a material of a desired thickness from being slipped over

blades of the scissors, in which each blade is provided with an arc-shaped

cutting edge, thereby easily cutting the material.

Technical Solution

In order to achieve the above objects, in one aspect of the present

invention, there is provided kitchen scissors including two blades joined by a

swivel pin at a cross point, and a handle coupled to an end of each blade and

having a hole receiving a finger or fingers of a user, the scissors comprising: an

arc-shaped cutting edge formed on each blade so that a center of the blade is

concaved.

Advantageous Effects

According to the kitchen scissors, since the blades are provided with the

arc-shaped cutting edges, the material of a desired thickness is not slid over the

cutting edges, so that the material is easily caught and cut by the arch-shaped

cutting edges. Brief Description of the Drawings

The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the

present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed

description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in

which:

FIG. 1 is a view illustrating the state in which scissors according to an

embodiment of the present invention are closed;

FIG. 2 is a view illustrating the state in which scissors according to an

embodiment of the present invention are opened; and

FIG. 3 is a view illustrating the used state of scissors according to an

embodiment of the present invention.

Best Mode

Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiment of

the present invention.

Scissors according to an embodiment of the present invention consist of

two blades 10 joined by a swivel pin 16 at a cross point, and a handle 18

coupled to an end of each blade 10 and having a hole receiving a finger or

fingers of a user. Each of the blades 10 is provided with an arc-shaped cutting

edge 12, so that a center of the blade is concaved. When the scissors cut a material of a desired thickness, such as kimchi or meat, the material placed

between the arc-shaped cutting edges 2 is not slid toward an end 14 of the

blade 10.

Preferably, the arch-shaped cutting edges 12 of the blades 10 are faced

to each other so as to obtain a sufficient cutting ability when the blades 10 are

opened and closed.

With the kitchen scissors including the blades 10 with the arc-shaped

cutting edges 12 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the

material 20 is not slid over the cutting edges 12 towards the ends 14 of the

blades 10, when the scissors cut the thick material 20.

Specifically/ since the cutting edges 14 of the blades 10 are concaved in

an arc shape, the material 20 is placed between the arc-shaped cutting edges

12, when the material is cut by the scissors. In this instance, since the material

20 is enclosed by the arc-shaped cutting edges 12, the material 20 is not slid

over the cutting edges 12 towards the ends 14 of the blades 10.

Industrial Applicability

As can be seen from the foregoing, since the blades are provided with

the arc-shaped cutting edges, the material of a desired thickness is not slid over

the cutting edges, so that the material is easily caught and cut by the arch-

shaped cutting edges. While this invention has been described in connection with what is

presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to

be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment and

the drawings. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and

variations within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
