Abstract:
1. A pair of scissors, comprising: a first cutting panel with a first panel abutting face and a first panel distal segment with a first cutting edge and a first panel proximal segment configured as a first handle, and a fixed pivot pin protruding perpendicularly from said first panel abutting face and located midway between said first panel distal segment and said first panel proximal segment, and a primary arched guide slot spaced from said fixed pivot pin and following a path substantially defining a curve which is a segment of an ellipse centered substantially at said fixed pivot pin; and a second cutting panel substantially matching the size of and having substantially the mirror image shape of said first cutting panel and having a second panel abutting face placed in abutting relation to said first panel abutting face and a second panel distal segment with a second cutting edge and a second panel proximal segment configured as a second handle and a substantially rectilinear double pivot pin slot extending substantially longitudinally between said second panel proximal and distal segments and registering with and receiving said fixed pivot pin which has second panel retaining means for retaining said second panel abutting face in abutting relation with said first panel abutting face; and a floating guide pin extending through said double pivot pin slot and said primary arched guide slot with floating guide pin retaining means for retaining said floating guide pin in said double pivot pin slot and said primary arched guide slot; such that said scissors cut an item placed between said first and second cutting edges by closing angularly onto the item to be cut while said first and second cutting edges slide longitudinally relative to each other to enhance the cutting action.
