ABSTRACT:
A new and improved sliver and splinter removal apparatus includes a dual-handle, scissors-action clamp assembly which includes a common pivot between respective handle arms and respective clamping arms of the clamp assembly. The respective clamping arms are capable of coming together and clamping in a clamping zone. A magnifying lens assembly is supported by the clamp assembly. The magnifying lens assembly includes a lens, a lens support, and a support strut for supporting the lens and the lens support, such that the support strut supports the lens adjacent to the clamping zone. The support strut for the magnifying lens assembly is supported on the clamp assembly by a pivot connector. The pivot connector that supports the support strut on the clamp assembly is the common pivot between respective handle arms and respective clamping arms of the clamp assembly. The support strut includes a detent, and one of the clamping arms includes a first well for receiving the detent, such that the lens is placed over the clamping zone when the detent is received in the first well. One of the handle arms includes a second well for receiving the detent, such that the lens is placed opposite the clamping zone when the detent is received in the second well. A carrying case is provided for receiving the sliver and splinter removal apparatus.
