An ergonomic handle for use with a hand tool, such as a pair of scissors or the like, is disclosed which includes first and second opposing lever members coupled together at a pivot point to permit reciprocating movement of the lever members between a closed position and an open position. The lever members may include a cutting blade or other tool feature on a first end adjacent the pivot point, and a handle on a second end adjacent the pivot point opposite the first end. The fixed handle has a loop portion which includes an inner surface and an outer surface along one side of which abuts a corresponding outer surface of the opposing lever member while in the closed position. Each loop portion is made from a rigid material segment and a resilient material segment, with the rigid material segment having a cavity open at the outer loop surface and the resilient material segment extending across the cavity at the inner loop surface. |

A tool is provided for eating strands of food with the function of cutting and a spoon. The tool includes body members having tool portions that form a spoon shaped bowl portion of diverging halves that are separable into an open scissor configuration. The body members are pivotally connected at their central portions, and terminate in handle portions. A first handle portion is angled upwardly from the spoon shaped bowl portion to function ergonomically as a handle of a spoon. A second handle portion includes a ring member oriented downward from the first handle portion, such that the first handle portion and the second handle portion are not in the same horizontal plane. The ring member is oriented outward at an angle of about 30 degrees with respect to a vertical plane through the spoon shaped bowl portion. |

A scissor half of a hand-held pair of scissors comprises a blade portion and a handle portion having a handle lug. The inner circumference of the handle lug is provided with a handle insert which is made from another material than the handle portion. The handle insert is made of plastic material and is permanently and seamlessly injection molded to the handle lug. Thus, a handle insert is obtained that is fixed permanently to the handle lug and is secured against rotation therein. |

A scissor is made more ergonomic and comfortable to use by the addition to the upper loop handle of the scissor of an enlarged handle portion that fits into and can be held in the palm of a user's hand without the user's thumb passing through the loop handle. One or more of the user's fingers are passed through the lower loop handle in normal manner to operate the scissor. The enlarged handle portion may be secured to the upper loop handle of existing scissors or scissors may be manufactured with the enlarged handle portion included rather than or in addition to the normal loop handle. As an add on, the enlarged handle portion may include two halves secured together to capture and hold a portion of the upper loop between the halves to thereby secure the enlarged handle portion to the upper loop handle. |

In these scissors (1), one of the branches (2) entails a resting part (7) for the four fingers of the hand excluding the thumb, while the other branch (3) entails a resting part (8) for the thumb. The resting part (7) shows an exterior lateral face (7a) to rest the fingers upon and is joined to a hook (10) whose concave face (10a) outlines, with said lateral face (7a), a housing (11) which can narrowly receive the third or fourth finger of the operator, and whose convex face (10b) allows, at the level of the base of hook (10), a tightening of said hook (10) between the finger engaged in the housing (11) and the adjacent finger; the resting part (8) shows an exterior lateral face (8a) aimed at accommodating the thumb; the scissors (1) entail at least one elastic device (20) located between the two interal faces of these two resting parts (7&8) allowing the maintenance of the branches (2&3) in a spread-apart position. |

A scissors has pivotally joined metal cutting elements, each having a handle portion including a yoke insert molded in hard plastic inner portions of handle loops. In one of the loops the hard plastic material defines only a part of the loop, terminating in spaced ends which are fixed to a flexible and resilient portion which completes the loop. The other loop has projecting forwardly therefrom a hard plastic finger rest which extends along the handle portion and defines a channel receiving the handle portion of the one loop. Both loops have hard plastic buttons projecting therefrom which abut when the scissors are closed. The flexible and resilient portion of the one loop is formed of a soft, frictional material which also covers outer surfaces of the hard plastic portions of both loops and the finger rest. |

Shears have two crossed pivotally interconnected levers, each having a blade end and a handle end, and normally biased open. Upper and lower handles are, respectively, connected to the handle ends of the levers, the upper handle having a low-friction outer surface and including front, rear and medial portions, while the lower handle has a high-friction outer surface with a downwardly convex lower portion. The front portion of the upper handle projects upwardly to stop forward movement of the hand. The medial portion is of reduced cross section to facilitate hooking of the user's thumb thereover. The rear portion has a laterally upwardly and inwardly sloping upper surface. An elastomeric loop depends from the lower handle rearwardly of the front portion of the upper handle and receives therethrough only the middle finger of the user's hand. |

Disclosed is a device for cutting cloth or the like, including a lower substantially fixed blade and an upper movable blade pivotal with respect to the fixed blade. A handle extends at an acute angle with respect to the fixed blade and substantially transverse to the pivot axis of the blades. A lever is pivotally disposed within the handle, and the lever contacts a cam attached to the movable blade such that pivoting the lever effects pivoting of the movable blade. A trigger mechanism is disposed in the handle and manipulation of the trigger mechanism effects pivoting of the lever, and thus the movable blade. |

A cutting tool including a pair of jaws wherein each jaw has a first and second end. The jaws are pivotally coupled to each other such that the first ends engage with one another when the jaws are in a closed position. The tool further includes a pair of hollow tubular extensions each having a bend therein and first and second portions merging into one another at said bend. Each second end of one of the jaws extends into the first portion of a respective extension which includes a crimped section that fixedly secures the jaw thereto. When the jaws are in the closed position, the first portions converge toward each other and the second portions diverge from the first portions. |

The shears or similar implements have removable handles, preferably made of molded plastic, on curvilinearly shaped shanks with tangs extending with continuously decreasing thickness past the area where the main finger pressure of the operation of the shears occurs. The method of molding the handles uses retractable cores which have the same curvilinear shape with continuously decreasing section as the tangs of the shears'' shanks.
