Abstract
A low-friction hub assembly for pivotally connecting a pair of scissors or lever-like members employs a pair of cooperative hub members. A first hub member has an exterior threaded surface which threadably engages with an interior threaded surface of the second hub member. Each of the hub members has annular shoulders which engage against opposed annular surfaces of surrounding aligned pivot openings of the scissors. A locking member comprising a pair of opposed pawls engages a serrated surface to lock the subassembly. A throughbore extends through the pivot assembly.
