ABSTRACT:
Scissors have a pair of pivotally interconnections blades and a ball-shaped handle. One embodiment has a pair transversely spaced, outwardly-convex, partly ball-shaped handle members at the rear end portions of the blades and an elastomeric member compressibly interposed between the handle members biasing the blades toward an open position. The handle members and elastomeric member have complementary, partly ball shapes providing an overall external configuration of a single ball. Another embodiment has a hollow, flexible ball completely covering and enclosing partially ball shaped handle members, the pivotal interconnections between the blades is concealed within the ball shaped covering, and a formed wire spring member is anchored at the interconnections and its opposite ends are seated against inner surfaces of the handle members. In each embodiment, manual squeezing pressure applied by a user's palm or fingers closes the blades against the bias of the elastomeric or wire spring member.
