ABSTRACT:
Shears suitable for cutting sheet metal and other materials and having a pivoting handle and multiple blades to facilitate the making of a variety of useful cuts. The shears includes two handles and two pivotally connected blades. One handle provides a rigid continuation of a generally V-shaped blade; the other handle is free to swing between extreme positions through an arc of about 180 degrees. The swinging handle pivots on a pivot pin carried by one of the blades. The other blade has a pair of cutting edges to provide scissor action with the cutting edges of the V-shaped blade. A pivot pin extends generally transversely to and is located between the cutting edges at one side of the other blade, and the pivoting handle is free to swing thereon. Scissor action results as the pivot pin transfers the applied moment caused by squeezing the swinging handle relative to the other handle to the other blade to thereby rotate the blades relative to one another.
