    Patent number: 5263254
    Abstract: In garden shears the locking device which holds the shear grips in closed position against the force of an opening spring is developed as a slide grip which lies free both on the top and on the bottom of the one hand grip so that this slide can be actuated by the thumb of both the right hand and the left hand without it being necessary also to use the other hand.
