Patent number: 10730195Abstract: One feature pertains to cutters that include a first lever, a second lever having a bottom edge, and a cutting lever having a top edge. A first member rotatably couples the first lever to the second lever, a second member couples the cutting lever to the first lever and/or the second lever, where the second member provides a pivot for the cutting lever to rotate relative to the second lever. A means for rotating the cutting lever relative to the second lever to move the top edge toward or away from the bottom edge when the first lever's first end is moved relative to the second lever's first end is provided, where the first lever, the second lever, and the cutting lever are arranged in a side-by-side configuration such that each has a longitudinal axis that is parallel to each other when the cutters are in a closed position.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Inventor: Paul Brainard

Patent number: 7716840Abstract: A cutter tool includes first and second elongate members carrying a cutting blade pivotally attached with the second member and slidably attached with the first member to enable cutting a tubular workpiece with an increased mechanical advantage. The tool has a first handle having a cradle for supporting a tube to be cut, a second handle pivotally attached to the first handle, a cutter blade attached to the second handle, and a pin and slot between the cutter blade and the first handle. The slot configuration provides for displacement of the blade relative to the cradle to initially apply a higher cutting force which is followed by a transition to a lower cutting force and a higher rate of blade displacement.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2007Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Emerson Electric CoInventors: Nyayadhish Sunil Nandkumar, Pathak Sanjay Sitacharan, David Lee Machovina, Steven Michael Macsay, Glen Richard Chartier

Patent number: 7441337Abstract: Pruning shears or corresponding cutters comprising a first elongated handle part, a first blade part arranged as an extension of the first handle part, a second blade part pivoted to the first blade part from a first pivot point, and a second elongated handle part pivoted at its first end to the second blade part from a second pivot point. The second elongated handle part is connected to the first elongated handle part with at least one shaft pivotally connected to both the first and second elongated handle parts. The first and second elongated handle parts are arranged in the open position of the shears in remain along their entire length at a distance from each other enabling the use of the shears with one hand along the entire length of the handle parts.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2005Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Fiskars Brands Finland OY ABInventors: Olavi Linden, Markus Paloheimo

Publication number: 20080209741Abstract: A blade structure of an electric hair trimmer is a blade set, comprising a fixed blade, a movable blade and a vibration seat which is driven by a motor. A front end of both fixed and movable blades is provided with a plurality of teeth to cut the hair by an alternate movement. The lower sections of edge parts at two sides of a tooth of the movable blade are extended outward from top to bottom to form with externally expanded surfaces with sharp transection angles. Accordingly, when hair is cut, a contact area of the edge parts between the hair is decreased, to largely reduce resistance to cutting, such that the hair can be cut off well with improved speed and efficiency and can be prevented from being damaged. Besides, lifetime of usage of blade structure in the electric hair trimmer can be extended.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2007Publication date: September 4, 2008Inventors: Chin-Chuan Chen, Yu-Hsia Chen Yang, Cheng-I Chen, Cheng-Hsiang Chen

Patent number: 4677747Abstract: Cutting apparatus comprises a pair of elongated limbs extending in the same general direction and operatively connected to each other by connecting means which guide the limbs for movement towards and away from each other and simultaneously in a generally longitudinal direction relative to each other, one limb adapted to carry a cutting blade having a cutting edge directed towards a support surface provided on the other limb, the support surface and blade being adapted to cooperate upon relative movement of the limbs to provide a cutting action.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1986Date of Patent: July 7, 1987Inventor: Brian A. Winer

Patent number: 4525929Abstract: An improved cutting device including: first and second handles and a movable jaw having forward and rearward portions; a stationary jaw fixed to the first handle, the second handle including first pivot means for connecting the second handle to the stationary jaw and second pivot means for connecting the second handle to the movable jaw for providing slicing action between the jaws; and means, spaced from the first and second pivot means, for constraining motion of the rearward portion of the movable jaw and amplifying the leverage applied to the jaws by the handles through the first and second pivot means.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1982Date of Patent: July 2, 1985Inventors: H. Joseph Brophy, Sr., H. Joseph Brophy, Jr.
