Two blades are provided movable relative to one another between an open position and a closed position, one thereof being hinged such to a distal end of the transmission rod that the closed position is achieved by applying a pressure onto the transmission rod, whereas the opened position is achieved by applying a pulling force onto the transmission rod, and in that the support shoulder is curved in the direction toward the second limb.
