Variable force compound cutting lopper

A variable force compound cutting lopper, said variable force compound cutting lopper comprising:

• a first cutting jaw 4 with a convex cutting edge 32;
• a second cutting jaw 3 with a concave cutting edge 24, the first cutting jaw 4 and the second cutting jaw 3 forming a cutting head 36;
• a first handle 12 with a first arm 1;
• a second handle 14 with a second arm 2 having a slotted connector 48;
• a first pivot 34 formed by first bolt 82 which passes through a middle though-hole 83 in a midportion of the first cutting jaw 4 and through side through-hole 85 in a midportion of the second cutting jaw 3 and fastened to a nut and washer 86;
• a second pivot 46 formed by a second bolt 92 which passes into though-hole 93 in an end portion of the first cutting jaw 4, and through the slotted connector 48 of the second arm 2, and fastened to nut 94;
• a common pivot point 26 formed by a bolt 102 that passes through a central through-hole 103 in a midportion of the second cutting jaw 3, into an outer through-hole 105 in the second arm 2, out a through-hole 107 in the first arm 1, and fastened to a nut and washer 108;
• and
• wherein the lopper produces a pinching effect of the first handle 12 and the second handle 14 which comes into play only after wood is placed between the first cutting jaw 4 and the cutting jaw 3, the placed wood causes a countering force which allow the first handle 12 and the second handle 14 to cause the concave cutting edge 24 of the second cutting jaw 3 to work opposite against the convex cutting edge 32 of the first cutting jaw 4, forming a double compound action against the wood.

A method of forming a pinching effect with a variable force compound cutting lopper, comprising the steps of:

• providing a first cutting jaw 4 with a convex cutting edge 32;
• providing a second cutting jaw 3 with a concave cutting edge 24, and the first cutting jaw 3 and the second cutting jaw 4 form a cutting head 36;
• providing a first handle 12 with a first arm 1;
• providing a second handle 14 with a second arm 2 having a slotted connector 48;
• forming a first pivot 34 formed by first bolt 82 which passes through a middle though-hole 83 in a midportion of the first cutting jaw 4 and through side through-hole 85 in a midportion of the second cutting jaw 3 and fastened to a nut and washer 86;
• forming a second pivot 46 formed by a second bolt 92 which passes into though-hole 93 in an end portion of the first cutting jaw 4, and through the slotted connector 48 of the second arm 2, and fastened to nut 94;
• forming a common pivot point 26 formed by a bolt 102 that passes through a central through-hole 103 in a midportion of the second cutting jaw 3, into an outer through-hole 105 in the second arm 2, out a through-hole 107 in the first arm 1, and fastened to a nut and washer 108;
• and
• producing a pinching effect in the lopper by the first handle 12 and the second handle 14 which comes into play only after wood is placed between the first cutting jaw 4 and the second cutting jaw 3, the placed wood causes a countering force which allow the first handle 12 and the second handle 14 to cause the concave cutting edge 24 of the second cutting jaw 3 to work opposite against the convex cutting edge 32 of the first cutting jaw 4, forming a double compound action against the wood.
