Abstract
A cutting device or food scissor apparatus includes a first cutting element which has a shank section, a first handle, and a blade section with a cutting edge and a second cutting element having a shank section, a second handle, and a blade section with a cutting edge and an endpoint. The first and second cutting elements of the apparatus are connected about a rotational pin. The apparatus includes an orthogonal tip connected to the endpoint of the second cutting element. Various tip designs may be removably attached to the apparatus. The perpendicular tip promotes cutting stability and reduces damages to a surface from which material is being cut.
Claims20
A cutting device comprising:
- a first cutting element having a shank section, a first handle, and a blade section with a cutting edge;
- a second cutting element having a shank section, a second handle, and a blade section with a cutting edge and an endpoint;
- the first and second cutting elements operably connected about a rotational pin;
- and
- an orthogonal tip operably connected to the endpoint of the second cutting element.
An angular food scissors comprising:
- a first cutting element having a shank section, a first handle section, and a blade section with an upper cutting edge;
- a second cutting element having a shank section, a second handle section, and a blade section with a lower cutting edge and an endpoint;
- the first and second cutting elements pivotally connected at a point intermediate the blade and shank sections to cause the upper cutting edge of the first cutting element and the lower cutting edge of the second cutting element to be moved between engaged and disengaged positions to provide a cutting action, the shanks being inclined from the cutting edges;
- and
- a protruding orthogonal tip operably connected to the endpoint of the second cutting element, the tip extending orthogonally from the lower cutting edge of the second cutting element.
A method of manufacturing a cutting device, the method comprising:
- providing a first cutting element having a shank section, a first handle, and a blade section with a cutting edge;
- operably connecting a second cutting element to the first cutting element about a rotational pin, the second cutting element having a shank section, a second handle, and a blade section with a cutting edge and an endpoint;
- and
- operably connecting an orthogonal tip to the endpoint of the second cutting element.
