28,022. Sweet, J. M., and Clarke, T. J. Dec. 23. Shears. -- The blades of shears for cutting wire, paper, sheet metal, grass, &c. are connected to the handles, one by a bolt and the other by a universal or similar joint, so that by loosening the bolt the inclination of both blades to the handles can be simultaneously adjusted. The blades 6, 7, pivoted together at 15, are fixed in plates 8, 11, the plate 8 being connected by a bolt 10 to an extension 3 of the handle 1, and the plate 11 being connected to an extension 4 of the handle 2 by a universal joint 14 comprising two similar sections connected by a pivot 141. Journaled in the joint sections are sleeves 13, 5, which fit on to reduced portions 121, 41 of the plate 11 and handle extension 4, respectively. For cutting grass &c., the shears may have a supporting-wheel under or at the side of the plate 8, and this wheel may be adjustable. For cutting wire &c., the blade 7 may be pivoted to a bracket fixed to the blade 6. The blades may be adapted for pruning and trimming purposes, and the handles may be extended so that they can be operated while the operator is in an erect position.Cataloged By
