Abstract: Shears configured with blade pieces having pin holes, at least one of which is polygonal, along basal ends of the blade pieces, and a pin-hole swivel pin, and provided with grooves on either of opposing inner-side faces of the blade pieces. When the shears are in a predetermined open/close state, the grooves lead from the pin holes to the blade pieces' exterior. The pin is constituted by a columnar pin shank ending in cap portions. Rotatable, the pin shank interiorly contacts the polygonal pin hole's sides. The cap portion along the at least one blade piece having the polygonal pin hole has an opening interconnecting a gap between the pin hole and the pin shank with the cap portion's outer side. The grooves, the pin-hole/pin-shank gap, and the opening secure washing-fluid or air channels for cleaning out the pin holes, and realize a light, jiggle-free operational feel.

Abstract: Various scissor embodiments feature channel voids or passages defined within the inside surfaces of scissor blades or shaft sections. The channel voids or passages allow foreign matter to be self-expelled by the movement of the scissor blades. Disclosed blades or shafts are pivotally connected by a new connection assembly that expels foreign matter during the normal use of the scissors. Disclosed embodiments include scissors comprising: a pair of blades (1A, 1B) overlapping each other; and a shaft (3) inserted through a shaft support hole (2) in the blades (1A, 1B) and having a tip (4) that is bucked to allow the blades (1A, 1B) to pivot in an abutting state, a passage communicating with the outside to allow inflow and outflow of water, etc. is formed between abutting faces (5) of both blades (1A, 1B) and between the shaft (3) and the shaft support holes (2).
