Abstract
A hand actuated scissors for cutting work pieces such as cables, profiles, branches or the like, having two hand levers (1, 2) coupled to each other, the first of which merges into a fixed cutting jaw (6) having a movable cutting jaw (10) pivotally supported at its free end that can be placed around the work piece (12) and where the cutting jaw has an outer toothing (13). A knee lever drive (3, 5, 14, 16) for swinging the movable cutting jaw (10) relative to the fixed cutting jaw (6) is provided, which includes a thrust lever (14 ) pivotally supported on the second hand lever (2). A notch lever (17) is pivotally supported on the first hand lever (1), where the teeth (16, 19) provided on the thrust lever (14) and the notch lever (17) respectively alternately mesh with the outer toothing (13) of the movable cutting jaw (10). The outer toothing (13) of the movable cutting jaw (10) has a pitch of less than 2.3.degree.. The thrust lever (14) has such a length and relative positioning of its drag bearing (15) with respect to the drag bearing (3) of the hand levers (1, 2) that an initial knee lever angle (25) of no less than 90.degree. is attained in the opened position of the hand levers.
