Finger grip-contoured molded scissors

Claim 1

A scissors device comprising in combination: substantially flat-faced first and second blade elements and pivot means for pivotably mounting together the first and second blade elements operatively, each balde element having each of upper and lower faces extending in respective flat planes in both longitudinal and transverse directions, ranging from a blade tip throughout blade and shank portions to and including a handle-mountable terminal shank portion, one of the handle-mountable terminal shank portions of the first and second blade elements extending angularly laterally relative to its respective blade portion''s longitudinal axis and relative to the remaining shank portion of the other of the first and second blade elements, each of the blade portions of the first and second blade elements including a cutting edge and an opposite backing edge, and a blade-tip back edge of said remaining one of the first and second blade elements defining a broad blade side face between the blade back edge and the cutting edge, and the blade back edge further defining a round terminal edge extending to the cutting edge thereof; a substantially circular thumb-ring-defining handle mounted on said one angularly laterally-extending terminal shank portion of said one''s blade element, the thumb-ring-defining handle being mounted at a point spaced-away from said remaining other shank portion and including handle structure defining a passage extending angularly from a lower forwardly direction to a top upper rearwardly direction through its lower and upper surfaces relative to said one''s shank portion which extend in said flat plane from forwardly to rearwardly into the handle forwardly of the passage, and the thumb-ring-defining handle including substantially thin walls extending substantially lineally in the direction of the passage and defining a flange extending laterally from an outer ring side surface in a direction such that the flange is abuttable of a side of the ring-handle of the remaining one''s of the first and second blade elements, the thumb-ring-defining handle lower mouth-forming portion adjacent the mounted terminal shank portion thereof being rounded and angularly inclined and defining a slot narrowing toward the blade element shank portions thereof providing an elongated converging seat for a digital end of a person''s thumb inserted from a rearward upper direction of the thumb-ring-defining handle; and the remaining one''s of the first and second blade elements having mounted on its handle-mountable terminal shank portion an elongated fingers-mounting ring structure mounted of the remaining blade element and being mounted at a point spaced-away from said one angularly extending terminal shank portion and defining a through-channel between its upper and lower surfaces with the through-channel having a cross-section of substantially elliptical shape with one longitudinally-extending side wall relative to the elliptical fingers-mounting ring being substantially concave on an inner ring side away from the thumb-ring-defining handle with an opposite longitudinally-extending side walls relative to the elliptical fingers-mounting being substantially convex on an inner ring side adjacent the thumb-ring-defining handle, upper and lower forming portions of the through-channel defining fingers-mounting ring structure adjacent the mounted terminal shank portion thereof being rounded and inclined angularly toward the mounted terminal shank portions thereof such that Each of upper and lower mouth-forming portions define a seat receivable of a forward side edge of an index finger.
