Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a cutter for cutting an end of a cigar to produce a mouthpiece is of a scissors type in which a semicircular cutting blade is crossed, and a push cutter having a cutting blade which crosses a circular hole. Types are known. Nippers, pliers and the like are used as tools for cutting the protective coating of the electric wire. Scissor type cigar cutters generally have a structure in which two scissor pieces having a cutting blade at one end and a finger hook at the other end are pivotally supported at a fulcrum at the center, and nippers and pliers are also basic. Has a similar structure. However, in such a scissor type cutter, a delicate amount of force is required to cut all or a part of an object having a circular cross section while applying an equal force from the periphery with the same balance. In actual cutting, the cutting force from both the left and right directions of the scissors is more strongly applied, so that when the cigar is cut, the cut surface is easily deformed and a clean mouth cannot be obtained. Further, when cutting the electric wire, it is difficult to cut only the protective coating, and there is a possibility that the inner conductor may be cut or damaged.

By rotating the body relatively, the three cutting blades are moved so as to open and close the center circular hole, and a cutter that cuts the object inserted into the circular hole evenly from the periphery thereof. Proposed. This is disclosed in JP-A-11-42377. According to such a cutter, it was possible to satisfactorily solve the problems encountered in the conventional scissor type cutter. However, in order to perform a relative rotation operation between the ring-shaped frame and the rotating body, it is necessary to fix a handle-shaped operating piece of scissors to the ring-shaped frame and the rotating body, so that the overall size becomes large and 3 There is a drawback that the cost is increased because the number of cutting blades is required.
