Description: |
| "The present invention contemplates pruning shears of improved construction in which two levers of the first class are pivotally connected on an axis which is parallel to and distant from a relatively broad-surfaced platen carried by the work-arm of one of said levers. The work-arm of the other of said levers is provided with a cutter-blade which is adapted to close down upon the platen throughout the length of its cutting edge and by reason of is pivotal movement to impart a true and powerful drawing cut by means of which twigs and stems of considerable size may be severed without the crushing effects so commonly met with in the use of shears of this character."
German patent application March 3, 1925.
Produced in the U.S. as "SNAP-CUT" pruners by Seymour Smith & Son, Inc. A "LADIES" size was introduced in the early 1950s. |
