Abstract:
Pliers comprising two branches each having an area forming a handle rigid with the branch and having, at least in a proximal part, a cross section whose profile is essentially convex, said branches being pivoted to each other in a region forming a coupler of said pliers and extending beyond said coupler to define jaws, wherein each handle has, at least in said proximal part, a cross section which has, relative to a mid-line thereof which is parallel to a median plane of said coupler, an asymmetric external profile with a shape which dips more sharply toward one side of the handle and, in plan view, in said proximal part of each handle, a geometrical locus of the mid-points of segments perpendicular to said median plane forms a curve whose convex side is directed toward said one side.
