Abstract
An animated scissor holder having a housing with an opening and a guide to linearly receive and guide blades tips of a pair of scissors. A stop is adapted to impeded linear movement of the blade tips sliding through the guide at a predetermined distance. An object is movably connected to the housing and a gear assembly adapted to move the object in response to the linear movement of the blade tips. The gear assembly has a drive gear adapted to transfer the linear movement into rotational movement about a first axis. A set of driven teeth are attached to the object. The drive gear translates motion to the driven teeth to move the object from a first position to a second position.

An animated scissor holder comprising:
- a housing having an opening and a guide to linearly receive and guide blades tips of a pair of scissors;
- a stop adapted to impeded linear movement of the blade tips sliding through the guide to a predetermined distance;
- an object movably connected to the housing;
- and
- a gear assembly adapted to move the object in response to the linear movement of the blade tips, the gear assembly comprising:
- a drive gear adapted to transfer the linear movement into rotational movement about a first axis;
- and
- a set of driven teeth attached to the object, wherein the drive gear translates motion to the driven teeth to move the object from a first position to a second position.
An animated scissor holder comprising:
- a housing having an opening to linearly receive and guide blades tips of a pair of scissors;
- a stop adapted to impeded linear movement of the blade tips sliding through the guide to a predetermined distance;
- a moveable object;
- and
- an animation gear assembly adapted to animate the moveable object, the animation gear assembly comprising:
- a drive gear having an arm and a set of drive teeth, the drive gear adapted to transfer linear movement, received from the blade tips on the arm, into rotational movement of the drive gear on a first axis;
- and
- a driven gear having a set of driven teeth attached to the movable object, the driven teeth are adapted to engage with the drive teeth to rotate the driven gear about a second axis relative to the first axis, wherein the movable object is rotated from a first position to a second position.
An animated scissor holder comprising:
- a housing having an opening to linearly receive blades tips of a pair of scissors;
- a sheath within the housing adapted to receive and guide the blade tips;
- a stop adapted to impeded linear movement of the blade tips sliding through the sheath to a predetermined distance;
- a head of an animal;
- and
- a gear assembly adapted to animate the head of the animal, the gear assembly comprising:
- a drive gear having an arm and a set of drive teeth, the arm adapted to convert linear movement by the blade tips to rotate the drive gear about a pivot on a first axis;
- and
- a driven gear having a set of driven teeth attached to the head of the animal, the driven teeth are adapted to engage with the drive teeth of the drive gear to rotate the driven gear about a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis,
- wherein when the driven gear is rotated, the head of the animal is rotated from a first position to a second position approximately 90 degrees from the first position.
