29,730. Willis, P. R. J., [Babcock, G. J.]. Dec. 31.
Scissors and shears. -- The pivot or the nut thereon is prevented from rotating and becoming loose by the engagement of a projection 18, Fig. 6, on a radially split washer 4, with one of a series of notches 17 on the underside or in the periphery of the pivot head 14, Fig. 4, or the nut 13; or by engagement of a projection on the washer with a side or angle of the nut. The washer fits into a recess 2, Fig. 5, in one of the blades 1 and is provided with a tongue 9 which can be sprung down into a recess 10 in the blade 1, so that the projection on the washer may be disengaged from the pivot head or nut and the scissors or shears taken to pieces. When a nut is used, a projection or tongue 6 on the washer fits into a longitudinal groove 7 in the pivot, thus preventing the latter from turning with the nut.Relationships
