Abstract

In scissors, particularly hairdresser's scissors, with two scissor blades (1, 2), connected to each other in articulated fashion by means of a single pivot (3), and two scissor handles (4, 5), each of which displays two handle sections (28, 29) and (30, 31), where the first handle section (28, 30) is connected to its corresponding scissor blade (1, 2) and the second handle section (29, 31) includes the end grip of the scissor handle (4 or 5), and where the two corresponding handle sections are connected to each other in articulated fashion to permit pivoting in the plane of the handle, it is envisaged that the two handle sections can be locked in various angular positions in relation to each other in order to allow optimum ergonomic setting, and that locking takes place in the articulated connection of the handle sections.
