Patent ID: 8313483

Claim:
An operating tool for an organism having a holding function and a scissors function, the operating tool comprising a movable blade and a fixed blade serving as an upper blade and a lower blade, respectively, and wherein said operating tool is characterized by: the movable blade comprising: a first connecting portion, which is provided as a fulcrum at one end thereof obliquely opposite to a blade portion; and a second connecting portion to be connected to an elastic drive carrier, the second connecting portion being provided opposing the first connecting portion, a top end of the movable blade having no cutting function, the first connecting portion being connected to an elastic beam, the fixed blade having a flat surface with respect to the movable blade, the drive carrier having a straight portion and a curved portion, the operating tool for organism being configured such that: when the straight portion of the drive carrier is pushed out and pulled in through a guide portion, the blade portion of the movable blade is capable of moving orthogonally with respect to a plane of the flat surface of the fixed blade, hinging upon the first connecting portion as a fulcrum, whereby the operating tool for an organism is capable of holding an object to be treated in such a state that the top end of the movable blade is capable of moving orthogonally with respect to the plane of the flat surface of the fixed blade, hinging upon the first connecting portion as a fulcrum and a portion of the flat surface of the fixed blade are faced in parallel with each other; and when the curved portion of the drive carrier then starts to enter the guide portion, a portion of the curved portion offset from a center line of the drive carrier generates a force toward the center line so that the drive carrier imparts the force to the movable blade such that the movable blade makes rotational movement about an axis along the straight portion of the drive carrier, and, by this rotational movement, the movable blade falls down to a side of the fixed blade, whereby the movable blade and the fixed blade are capable of cutting the object to be treated.
