ABSTRACT:
First and second metal blades made from uniform thickness stock are fashioned into scissors which may be disposable suture scissors. Each of the blades is stamped from sheet metal, they are pivoted together, and handles extend in the opposite direction from cutting edges on the blades. Resilient means is provided by the handles being resilient and stop means are provided to limit the closed position of the cutting edges to prevent overriding, namely overclosing, of the cutting edges. The stop means includes first and second stop surfaces integral with the first and second blades, respectively. The stop surfaces are close to the pivot relative to the length of the handles, the blades have only frictional opposition to movement until the stop surfaces engage, and then the subsequent stressing of the resilient means establishes a cushioned stop of movement of the handles without any further movement of the cutting edges past the fully closed condition. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
