Abstract (en)
A scissors sharpener including a pair of elongate sharpening elements (12) relatively arranged so as to define a vee shaped sharpening recess (13) between them. Each sharpening element (12) forms a respective one of two sides of the recess (13) and each side has a longitudinal extent which is no less than the length of the scissor cutting edges (6) to be sharpened. At least one of the sharpening elements (12) is mounted so as to be movable laterally away from the other element (12), and resilient means (17) bears against the movable element (12) so as to resist the aforementioned movement. The sharpening elements (12) overlie a base plate (15) and an extension of that plate forms a platform (32) against which the handle portion (33) of scissors (1) can rest during the sharpening operation. In use, scissors (1) are located on the sharpener (11) with the closed blades (2,3) over the recess (13) and the cutting edges (6) extending generally in the longitudinal direction of the recess sides. Sharpening is effected by moving the closed blades (2,3) sidewards through the recess (13) towards the underlying base plate (15) so that each cutting edge (6) engages and is treated by a respective sharpening element (12) during that movement.
