Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to scissors used for collecting fruits and vegetables such as fruits and flowers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when collecting mandarin oranges, scissors having exactly the same structure as a normal one are used, and the tenon (shaft portion) is cut and picked.

Since the scissors cut by a so-called shearing action, the cutting cannot be smoothly performed unless the cutting blade is applied to the hard tenon at a right angle. However, the tenon extends in various directions, and it is necessary to change the angle of the scissors each time.

In addition, it takes a considerable amount of force to cut a hard tenon, which may cause the tenon to escape toward the tip of the scissors during cutting, and the other hand must hold the fruit. There is also.

Further, since the scissors are left open when the scissors are brought close to the fruit, the cutting edge at the tip of the scissors often hits the fruit, resulting in a defective product.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As described above, the work of picking fruits and the like with scissors is extremely troublesome, requires skill, and is not efficient.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pruning scissor which has a very high collection efficiency without damaging fruits and the like and requires no skill.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a slender fixed plate and a movable plate are superposed on each other so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction, and a hook having a cutting edge on the inner circumference at the tip of the movable plate. And a cutting blade is formed at the tip of the fixed plate, and one of a pair of annular handles connected to the movable plate and the fixed plate so that they can approach and separate in the same plane as the sliding surface is connected to the fixed plate, and the other The handle is connected to the movable plate by a link so that the movable plate slides by the approaching and separating actions of the pair of handles, and the cutting edge of the hook is drawn toward the cutting edge of the fixed plate in accordance with this sliding. The cutting was done by.

[0009]

[Function] For example, when the tenon of fruit is hooked with the above hook and a force is applied in the approaching direction by holding the pair of handles by hand, the movable plate slides and the hook is pulled toward the cutting edge of the fixed plate. Cut the tenon, which is rare and sandwiched between the inner cutting edge and the cutting edge.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the pair of annular handles 1 and 1a can be moved toward and away from each other with a pin 2 as a fulcrum, and are constantly pressed by a spring 3 in a direction to be separated from each other. .

An elongated fixed plate 4 extends from one of the handles 1, a guide 4a is formed in the plate 4, and an elongated movable plate 5 is slidably inserted therein. A hook 6 is provided at the tip of the movable plate 5, and a cutting blade 7 is provided on the inner periphery of the hook 6.

The handles 1 and 1a can move toward and away from each other on the same plane as the sliding surfaces of the plates 4 and 5 with the pin 2 as a fulcrum.

The upper surface of the guide 4a is opened in the longitudinal direction to form a slit, and a pin 10 fixed to the plate 5 projects from the slit.
One end of the link 11 is rotatably connected to the link 11.
The other end is rotatably connected to the protrusion 12 of the other handle 1a.

Therefore, when the handles 1 and 1a are brought closer to each other against the spring 3, the movable plate 5 is drawn between the guides 4a, and when the handles 1 and 1a are separated (the springs 3 are always separated). The tip of the movable plate 5 (including the hook 6) projects from the fixed plate 4.

When using the scissors, the tenon of the fruit is hooked by the hook 6 and the hooks 6 are pulled into the guide 4a of the fixed plate 4 when the handles 1 and 1a are brought close to each other. And the tenon is cut.

The fixing plate 4 does not necessarily have the structure shown in the figure. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, ring members 4b and 4c for restraining the movable plate 5 may be provided at both ends of the elongated plate 4. Also pin 10
May be screwed to another place so that the position of the link 11 can be adjusted.

The spring 3 is not always necessary in this embodiment. Further, the scissors of the present invention can be used in addition to fruits and vegetables.

[0019]

[Effect] According to the present invention, as described above, the fixed plate and the movable plate are slidably superposed on each other in the lengthwise direction, and a hook is formed on the movable plate so that tenons such as fruits can be hooked. As a result, the tenon of the fruit in a narrow space can be easily captured, and the tip of the hook does not damage the fruit.

Further, the fixed plate and the movable plate are
Since they are slidable relative to each other in relation to the handle that can be approached or separated, the operation is easy and the working efficiency can be greatly improved.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. An elongated fixed plate and a movable plate are superposed on each other so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction, a hook having a cutting edge on the inner circumference is provided at the tip of the movable plate, and a cutting edge is formed at the tip of the fixed plate. The movable plate and the fixed plate
Movable one of the pair of ring handles were linked to approach to and separate from the slide surface and the same plane and connected to the fixed plate, in relation to approach to and separate from the operation of the other handle link such that the movable plate slides A scissor for picking fruits and vegetables, which is connected to a plate and is adapted to perform cutting by pulling the cutting edge of the hook of the movable plate toward the cutting edge of the fixed plate as the slide moves.
