ABSTRACT:
A pair of straight pattern snips is provided which is designed to be employed for performing a cutting operation on an article. The snips consist of a pair of integral members, one having a left-hand configuration and the other a right-hand configuration. The pair of members are operatively connected together by means of a pivot bolt so as to be capable of pivotal movement relative to each other. Each of the members includes a handle formed at one end thereof and a jaw at the other end thereof. The grips, i.e., ears with which the handles are provided are skewed or rotated from the plane of the handles to provide a more comfortable grip or hold of the snips for the user. The snips are further provided with detachable blades. The latter blades are mounted on the jaws in blade pockets, i.e., recesses formed in the latter jaws for this purpose through the use of conventional fasteners. The working load is transferred from the blade to the jaw through contact of the back of the blade with a projection or ledge which defines one side of the aforementioned blade pocket with which each jaw is provided. The blade set, i.e., the wiping action of the blade is obtained by inclining the blade pad surface of the jaw which forms the bottom of the blade pocket. By virtue of the aforedescribed inclined angular disposition of the blade, contact between the blades of the snips as the latter is moved to its closed, i.e., cutting position takes place from the outer end, i.e., the tip of the blades to the inner ends thereof.
