ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to tools such as scissors, shears, pruners, and the like, which are resiliently biased to an open position, and which have a locking mechanism to keep these tools in a closed configuration. More particularly, this invention is concerned with tools having a pair of cooperatively engaging members provided with a resilient lock slidable within slots formed in these members. The lock includes a button having a yieldable head merging into a shank extending through the slots, the shank being joined to a cap. The head and cap have concavely shaped faces so that they are effectively in contact with the tool in respective annular regions of the tool, the area of these regions being proportional to the degree of compressive force applied to the lock.
