Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1916073A1] The scissors (1) has two scissor parts (1a, 1b) connected to each other by a rotation axis, and a curved laminated spring (7) whose spring action presses the two scissor parts in opening position. A stopping device (10) stops the spring action, and has a sliding device for relative translation between the spring and a stop (8) between loading and stop positions. The spring is supported at the scissor part (1a) and operates against the stop arranged at the scissor part (1b).
