Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pair of scissors, in particular hairdressing scissors, with two stalks and stalk eyes arranged at the ends thereof, at least one of the stalk eyes having a movable grip eye which serves to hold the thumb or a finger of the scissor handle.
  • Such scissors are known from DE 28 11 398 AI.
  • the grip eye described in this document is spherical on the outside and stored in a suitably designed bearing.
  • the handle eye belonging to the handle eye is fork-shaped for the radial insertion of the handle eye.
  • the movable grip eye can be rotated both about the axis running perpendicular to the stem eye and also pivoted perpendicularly to this axis, so that the thumb executes a relative movement relative to the grip eye when using the scissors and no pressure points on the thumb when the scissors are used for a long time occur.
  • a disadvantage of these scissors is that the controlled rotation of the scissors is impaired by the simultaneous rotatability and pivotability of the handle eye relative to the stalk, and there is too much freedom of movement for the thumb, which the scissors allow Handling is perceived as disturbing.
  • the fork-shaped half eye has the disadvantage that the handle eye can detach from it and hair can get caught between the half eye and the handle eye. Furthermore, dirt or other particles can easily get between the open eye and the handle eye. It can often be desirable to use the scissors without the movable handle eye, but this is not possible with the fork-shaped eye.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a pair of scissors of the type mentioned at the outset which can be guided as precisely as possible, can be used with different or also without a handle eye and in which the handle eye can be securely positioned in the associated stem eye.
  • the object is achieved in that the grip eye is enclosed over the entire circumference by the associated straw eye and has on both sides radially outwardly projecting guide elements which lie laterally on the stem eye, so that it is about the axis running perpendicular to the grip eye freely rotatable and non-rotatably mounted perpendicular to it in the half-eye.
  • the restriction of the mobility of the handle eye to the rotation about the axis running perpendicular to the stalk eye results in optimal control and safe handling of the scissors, especially during professional work.
  • a relative movement of the thumb with respect to the grip eye is largely avoided, despite the restriction of the freedom of movement of the grip eye, so that even with prolonged use of the scissors there are no pressure or rubbing points on the thumb.
  • the closed shape of the handle eye with the guide elements projecting radially outward on both sides of the handle eye ensures a secure arrangement of the handle eye in the handle eye.
  • the grip eye is fixed in both the radial and axial directions and can be freely rotated in this position.
  • the guide elements surround the handle eye in a ring.
  • the grip eye expediently has an essentially cylindrical radial outer surface which rests free of play on an essentially cylindrical radial inner surface of the hollow eye. Due to the relatively simple cylindrical design of the surfaces, they can do a great deal elaborate curved surfaces according to DE 28 11 398 AI, in which the corresponding radii to avoid clamping areas and areas with too much play must be identical, are avoided. In the scissors according to the invention, the cylindrical surfaces allow the handle eye to be inserted in the direction of the axis running perpendicular to the stem eye with little or no play.
  • the handle eye is made of elastic material, so that it is in
  • Crop eye can be snapped in and removed from it.
  • the grip eye made of elastic material can have bevels on the outside in the region of the guide elements for easier insertion into the stem eye.
  • the guide elements can also have bevels on their inner sides, which can correspond to bevels arranged on the outside of the stem eye.
  • a hard-elastic plastic material in particular Teflon, or a polyamide that is as soft as possible can be considered as the elastic material for the handle eye, which results in a low sliding friction of the handle eye in the mostly metallic straw.
  • the grip eye can easily be manufactured by injection molding.
  • the grip eye is composed of two ring halves arranged axially to one another, each of which has the radially outwardly projecting guide elements on their outer end faces, and an inner ring made of elastic material, which holds the two ring halves encloses on the inside and outside at least in partial areas.
  • This design has the advantage that the two halves of the ring can be inserted laterally into the bow eye without play without overcoming any resistance. To hold the two ring halves Only the elastic inner ring is inserted laterally in the half-eye, which engages around the two ring halves on the inside and outside.
  • the two ring halves are preferably made of metal. In addition to advantages in terms of manufacturing technology, this results in friction values which are perceived as desirable when the scissors are used. A certain amount of friction between the handle eye and the stem eye helps to ensure that the scissors movement is well controlled and the scissors can be guided safely.
  • the two ring halves can be provided with a friction-reducing coating on their radial outer surface.
  • the guide elements can have chamfers on their inner sides, which likewise reduce the friction in these areas.
  • the handle eye belonging to the rotatable handle eye has grooves running on its radial inside in the circumferential direction, which reduce the contact area between the handle eye and handle eye and absorb dirt particles, which likewise has a friction-reducing effect.
  • coaxial recesses or projections can be provided on the radial inside of the inner ring made of elastic material.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section along the line II-II from FIG. 1, 3 is a plan view (top) and a side view (bottom) of the handle eye according to the first embodiment,
  • FIG. 4 shows a detail of a second embodiment of a pair of hairdressing scissors
  • FIG. 5 shows a section along the line V-V from FIG. 4,
  • FIG. 6 shows the two ring halves of the embodiment according to FIG. 4 in section
  • Fig. 8 is an enlarged sectional view of the neck of the embodiment of FIG. 4 in a detail.
  • a handle eye 5 is arranged in the handle eye 4 of the handle 1 and can be freely rotated relative to the handle eye 4 about an axis arranged perpendicular to the handle eye 5.
  • the handle eye 5 is completely enclosed by the eye 4.
  • the handle eye 5 has a cylindrical outer surface 6 which is laterally delimited by two radially outwardly projecting guide elements 7.
  • the guide elements 7 also limit the cylindrical surface 12 of the stem eye, which rests against the surface 6 of the grip eye 5 without play.
  • the guide elements 7 are also ring-shaped.
  • the guide elements 7 which laterally delimit the grip eye 5 and are integrally formed thereon have chamfers 8 on their inner sides facing the eye 4, which correspond to chamfers arranged on the outside of the eye 5, so that the guide elements 7 and the cylindrical region 6 of the grip eye 5 rest flush and free of play on the eye 4.
  • the radially outward-facing outer side 10 of the guide elements 7 is guided in its inwardly lying regions on a shoulder 11 of the eye 4, whereby an exact positioning of the guide elements 7 on the eye 4 is provided.
  • the guide elements 7 furthermore have outer surfaces 9 curved outward in the manner of bevels, so that attachment edges of the guide elements 7 on the grip eye 5 are avoided.
  • the gripping eye 5 can be inserted and removed in the direction of the axis arranged perpendicular to the gripping eye.
  • the radially outwardly projecting guide elements 7 are elastically deformed and snap into the indented areas of the eye 4 when the grip eye 5 is arranged in its desired position.
  • the inclination of the bevels 8 arranged on the inside on the guide elements 7 is matched to the hardness of the material of the guide elements.
  • the bevels can be designed as bevels with a constant inclination or, for example, also have surfaces that are curved outwards.
  • the grip eye 5 is made of a soft Teflon material, which has a low coefficient of sliding friction compared to the metallic half-eye and at the same time gives a pleasant feel.
  • the handle eye 5 is made with the integrally molded guide elements 7 by the injection molding process.
  • the handle eye 5 has a rotationally symmetrical outer contour and an ergonomically adapted inner contour, so that pressure points on the thumb guided in the handle eye 5 are avoided.
  • the second blade 2 of the scissors can also be provided with a corresponding handle eye.
  • the handle eye 13 as can be seen in particular in FIG. 5, consists of two axially arranged ring halves 14 and 15, each of which has the radially outwardly projecting guide elements 7 on their outer end faces have, and an inner ring 16 made of elastic material, which encloses the two ring halves 14 and 15 on the inside and outside in the region of the guide elements 7.
  • the two ring halves 14 and 15 abut each other on their inwardly directed end faces.
  • the two ring halves 14 and 15 shown individually in FIG. 6 have, like in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, ring-shaped guide elements 7. These are provided on their inner sides with a chamfer 8 in order to reduce the friction on the side of the eye 4.
  • the ring halves 14 and 15 made of metal are provided with a friction-reducing coating (not shown in the drawing), for example made of titanium nitride, which further reduces the friction between the rotatable grip eye 13 and the eye 4. A certain amount of friction is desired, however, so that the scissor movement can be optimally controlled and the scissors can be guided safely during the rotary movement of the handle eye 13 while handling the scissors.
  • circumferential grooves 17 are provided on the inside of the eye 4.
  • the grooves 17 also receive dirt particles between the eye 4 and the ring halves 14 and 15, so that a perfect sliding of the handle eye 13 in the eye 4 is ensured.
  • the inner ring 16 which is made of elastic material, for example a soft-elastic plastic, has a curved contour of its inner surface and the lateral end faces.
  • a rectangular groove 18 is formed on its radial outer surface, with which the two ring halves 14 and 15, as shown in FIG. shows are enclosed on the inside and outside in the region of the guide elements 7.
  • the side surfaces 19 of the ring groove 18 extend over the entire height of the guide elements 7, so that the two ring halves 14 and 15 are surrounded on the outside by the lateral beads of the inner ring and edges are thereby avoided.
  • the inner ring 16 is preferably made of crystal-clear plastic, so that the color coding of the two ring halves 14 and 15 that may be present is visible.
  • the inner ring can also consist of colored plastic and have different sizes depending on the color, which are matched to different thumb sizes.
  • the inner ring is provided on its radial inside with small coaxial ribs 20 which ensure an optimal hold of the thumb in the rotatable grip eye 13.
  • the grip eye 13 shown in FIGS. 4 to 8 can easily be fixed on the eye 4 by first inserting the ring halves 14 and 15 into the eye 4 from both sides.
  • the inner ring 16 which is made of elastic material, is then slipped from the inside over the two ring halves 14 and 15.
  • the inner ring 16 bears with a radial and axial prestress on the two ring halves 14 and 15 so that they are held together under a certain pressure.
  • the handle eye 13 can just as easily be removed from the eye 4.
