Abstract
A hand-operated, two-blade shearing device providing a pincer post operatively associated with each blade, the two pincers post being dimensioned and adapted to work in concert to securely pinch and hold the object sheared by the two blades during the shearing action.
Claims6
A shearing device, comprising:
- a first blade and second blade operatively associated with a pivot and opposing handles for moving between an open position and a closed position shearing objects between the first and second blades;
- the first and second blades have a first and second leading edge, respectively;
- a first pincer post joined to an upper surface of the first blade;
- an arm having a distal end, a body, and a proximal end;
- the distal end connected adjacent to a trailing edge of the second blade;
- a second pincer post joined to the proximal end;
- each pincer post having a length greater than a width, wherein the length of each of the first and second pincer posts extends only orthogonal relative to the first and second blades, respectively;
- and
- the distal end and the body of the arm spaced apart from an upper surface of the second blade by a slidable space in such a way that in the closed position the first blade is positioned between said body and said upper surface of the second blade.

- and
- each pincer post having an operative surface inward of the sharpened edge by a predetermined distance, wherein each operative surface faces the other, wherein each operative surface is generally planar and comprises a plurality of serrations.
