Patent ID: 8661691

Claim:
Garden shears comprising: two corresponding cutting members, two opposing applying arms and two assembling members; wherein, each of the cutting members have a main pivot aperture at a middle section thereof, a blade portion above the main pivot aperture, a pushing arc and a sliding arc continuously disposed below the main pivot aperture and a protrusion disposed between the pushing arc and the sliding arc, and an adjustment slot at a lower section thereof; each of the applying arms have a driving pivot aperture at a middle section, an eccentric pivot aperture at a top section, a rotation portion corresponding to the sliding arc formed at a top edge, a pushing edge formed at a side of the rotation portion, an indentation formed between the rotation portion and the pushing edge, and a handle at a lower section; wherein each one of the assembling members is a flat member and has a first securing aperture and a second securing aperture; wherein the two cutting members overlap each other, the two assembling members are respectively disposed on outer portions of the two overlapped cutting members, the main pivot apertures and the first securing apertures are aligned and locked together with a first securing member, such that the rotation portion of the applying arm and the sliding arc of the cutting member contact each other, and the driving pivot aperture of each one of the applying arms is locked with a respective second securing member passing through the adjustment slot of a corresponding one of the cutting members; wherein the eccentric pivot aperture of each of the applying arms and the second securing aperture of each of the assembling members are aligned with each other and locked with a third securing member; and wherein in use the handles of the two applying arms are pushed to close together to drive the cutting members to close together to perform a cutting movement, such that the pushing edges of the applying arms generate a rotatable pushing force on the pushing arcs; and further, when the blade portions are cutting into a target object and interaction between the blade portions and the target object increases that requires a stronger force, the driving pivot aperture moves downwardly relative to the adjustment slot to increase a torque for the blade portions.
