Publication number: 20100212165Abstract: The present invention relates to a new type of scissors for hairstylist which allows the hairstylist to optimise the cutting operations, in particular by eliminating the need to go over the tip of the locks of hair with the tip of the straight scissors or to go over the locks of hair with trimming scissors in order to move the edge of the lock of hair, which is straight when the lock of hair is cut using the straight scissors or other similar known models of the prior art. Instead, the scissors according to the present invention allows in a single cutting operation to obtain a “perfectly irregular” end of the lock of hair, obtaining an irregular line of perfect measure and combining the gripping comfort and the manageability of the scissors for hairstylists with the efficacy of a tool capable of obtaining a non-straight cut of the lock of hair, conferring in this manner a greater comfort of use and a greater efficacy to the scissors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2010Publication date: August 26, 2010Inventors: Alessandro Parnazzini, Rocco Blasioli

Patent number: 5511313Abstract: An electric/pneumatic pinking shear with one touch button blade closure. The blades In these shears are shorter than previous blades because of the twisting and bending moments of long thin blades. The bending moments of the blades have been reduced so that shear tension between the blades can be kept to a minimum. The teeth on the blades are wider than other pinking shears in order to improve the quality of the finished cut. This will decrease the amount of thread unraveling after the fabric is cut.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1994Date of Patent: April 30, 1996Assignee: Patricia D. YoderInventors: Patricia D. Yoder, Andrew D. McGraw

Patent number: 4930219Abstract: A dual-purpose, hand-held scissors for seamstresses and other users which have two unique blades with teeth which will cut a series of proportionately-spaced, single notches (V-shaped indentations) into textile fabrics and other soft, flexible and pliable materials and trim away excess fabric from the article simultaneously. It (1) saves time by performing two essential functions in one operation; (2) simplifies clean-up after sewing because the original method was very messy as when the individual notches were cut, they would scatter everywhere as they fell away from the fabric; and (3) permits more accurately cut notches which are consistent in size and shape to give the article a neater appearance. The shape of the blades is such that upon applying the scissors into the seam allowance on garments and/or toys and crafts, etc., the seam will be trimmed smoothly for a designated distance, then a notch will be cut into the seam allowance and simultaneously trim the excess fabric at that point.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1989Date of Patent: June 5, 1990Inventor: Patricia B. Nadeau

Patent number: 4584770Abstract: Pinking shears are disclosed comprising a pair of blades having cutting teeth and tips on one end and a handle on the other end, a common pivot assembly for the pair of blades, and an adjustable ball assembly for adjusting the pressure applied at the tips of the blades. The ball assembly is mounted in one blade between the handle thereof and the pivot assembly bears against the other blade to urge the blades away from one another adjacent the handles of the shears. As a result of this arrangement, the pressure between the tips is increased and a smooth cutting action is obtained when the pinking shears are being used to cut different types of materials of varying thickness.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 1985Date of Patent: April 29, 1986Assignee: Cooper Industries, Inc.Inventor: Albert Sabol

Patent number: 4449300Abstract: A pair of hair trimming shears has two pivotally connected blades with integral handles. Each blade carries a plurality of teeth which project upwardly from the surface of the blade; when the blades are closed upon one another, the tooth peaks on one blade engage the roots of the teeth on the other blade in meshing engagement. The teeth are of irregular triangular cross-sectional configuration, which produces a non-uniform, zig-zag cut line that disappears when combed. Thus, the shears permit shortening of hair length without creating undesirably defined cut lines.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1981Date of Patent: May 22, 1984Inventor: Susan D. Maledon
