Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to scissors used for various purposes such as sewing, beauty, and barbering, in which a pair of scissors pieces are connected to each other so that they can rotate freely around a central axis of rotation that extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces extend, the pair of scissors pieces in front of the central axis of rotation each having a blade, one of the pair of scissors pieces behind the central axis of rotation having a first finger loop into which a plurality of fingers other than the thumb can be inserted, and the other of the pair of scissors pieces behind the central axis of rotation having a second finger loop into which the thumb can be inserted.

[0002] In particular, the present invention relates to a scissors stand-up support that allows the scissors to be placed upright on a horizontal surface when the pair of scissors pieces are closed around the central axis of rotation and the first finger ring is positioned below the second finger ring in the vertical direction, and to scissors equipped with such a scissors stand-up support. [Background technology]

[0003] As mentioned above, various proposals have been made in the past regarding scissors that are provided with a scissors standing support that allows the scissors to be placed upright on a horizontal surface, i.e., the scissors to be placed upright (for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).

[0004] Patent Documents 1 and 2 propose scissors in which a support member having a flat support surface parallel to a horizontal surface such as a table surface is fixedly attached to the radially outer side of the first or second finger ring described above. With the pair of scissors pieces closed around the central axis of rotation, the finger ring fixed to the radially outer side of the support member is positioned vertically downward, and the flat support surface is brought into contact with a horizontal surface such as a table surface, allowing the scissors to be placed upright on the horizontal surface.

[0005] Patent Document 3 also proposes scissors in which an L-shaped guide, which makes it easier to cut cardboard, is fixed to one of the pair of scissors pieces on the front side of the central axis of rotation. When the pair of scissors pieces are closed around the central axis of rotation, the front ends of the pair of scissors pieces are brought into contact with the table surface, and the lower end of the L-shaped guide, which has a predetermined shape and structure, is also brought into contact with the table surface, allowing the scissors to be placed upright on a horizontal surface, i.e., the scissors can be placed upright.

[Figure 4] 4 is a perspective view, with some parts omitted, of the state shown in FIG. 3, seen from a different direction. [Figure 5]In scissors equipped with a scissors erection support device according to one embodiment of the present invention, in which the scissors erection support device shown in Figure 1 is attached, the scissors erection support device is attached to the rotation center shaft protrusion on the side opposite the rotation center shaft protrusion on which it is attached in the state shown in Figure 3, and the tip of the support rod part that has been rotated to a position in an upright state abuts a horizontal surface, and the tips of the pair of scissors pieces and the radially outer surface of the first finger ring located vertically below the second finger ring abut the horizontal surface, thereby illustrating an example of a state in which scissors equipped with a scissors erection support device are installed upright on a horizontal surface, i.e., placed upright. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The scissors stand support device 1 (Figs. 1 and 2) according to this embodiment is attached to scissors 10 (Fig. 3) and is used to maintain scissors 10 in an upright position on a horizontal surface such as a table, i.e., when scissors 10 are placed upright on a horizontal surface such as a table.

[0015] The scissors 10 (Fig. 3) according to this embodiment are equipped with the scissors stand support 1 illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, and are scissors that can be set upright on a horizontal surface such as a table, i.e., placed upright on a horizontal surface such as a table.

[0016] Scissors 10 (FIG. 3) are configured such that a pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are coupled to each other so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis 12 that extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction in which scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend. In FIG. 3, the pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend in the front-to-rear direction, which is the up-and-down direction in FIG. 3. The pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are coupled to rotation axis 12 so as to be rotatable about rotation axis 12 that extends in a direction (left-to-right direction in FIG. 3) perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction (up-and-down direction in FIG. 3) as indicated by arrows 100, 101 (FIG. 3).

[0017] As is conventionally known, a pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are provided with a blade portion on each side (upper side in FIG. 3) of the rotation center shaft 12. A first finger ring into which a person's fingers other than the thumb are inserted is provided on one of the pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b on the rear side (lower side in FIG. 3) of the rotation center shaft 12, and a second finger ring into which a person's thumb is inserted is provided on the other of the pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b on the rear side (lower side in FIG. 3) of the rotation center shaft 12.

[0018] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, a first finger loop 13a into which a person's fingers other than the thumb are inserted is formed behind the rotation center axis 12 of scissors piece 11a (bottom side of the drawing in Figure 3), and a second finger loop 13b into which a person's thumb is inserted is formed behind the rotation center axis 12 of scissors piece 11b (bottom side of the drawing in Figure 3).

[0019] The size of the space surrounded by first finger ring 13a, into which multiple fingers other than the thumb are inserted, is larger than the size of the space surrounded by second finger ring 13b, into which the thumb is inserted. Therefore, first finger ring 13a, into which multiple fingers other than the thumb are inserted, has a larger outer diameter than second finger ring 13b, into which the thumb is inserted, and second finger ring 13b, into which the thumb is inserted, has a smaller outer diameter than first finger ring 13a, into which multiple fingers other than the thumb are inserted, as is the case in this embodiment.

[0020] The shape and structure of such scissors 10 are conventionally known, and are partially omitted in FIGS.

[0021] 3 to 5, both ends of rotation center shaft 12, which extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction in which pair of scissor pieces 11a, 11b extend, protrude outward from scissor pieces 11a, 11b. By attaching members to both ends of rotation center shaft 12 that protrude outward from scissor pieces 11a, 11b, rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b are formed at both ends of rotation center shaft 12, respectively (FIG. 3).

[0022] The scissors erection support tool 1 according to this embodiment is detachable from each of two rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b that protrude outward from the scissors pieces 11a, 11b of the rotation center shaft 12.

[0023] When the scissors stand support device 1 is attached to either one of the rotation axis protrusions 14a, 14b, the pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are closed around the rotation axis 12, and the first finger ring 13a is positioned lower than the second finger ring 13b in the vertical direction (Figures 3 and 5), the scissors 10 can be placed upright on a horizontal surface, i.e., the scissors 10 can be placed upright.

[0024] For example, in Figure 3, scissors stand support 1 is attached to rotation center shaft protrusion 14a of scissors 10, in which a pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are closed around rotation center shaft 12, and in Figure 5, scissors stand support 1 is attached to rotation center shaft protrusion 14b of scissors 10, in which a pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are closed around rotation center shaft 12, and scissors 10 is installed upright on a horizontal surface with first finger ring 13a positioned lower than second finger ring 13b in the vertical direction.

[0025] As described above, the scissors stand support device 1 is attached to one of the rotation axis protrusions 14a, 14b of scissors 10, in which a pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are closed around the rotation axis 12, and allows scissors 10 to be placed upright on a horizontal surface with the first finger ring 13a positioned lower than the second finger ring 13b in the vertical direction.

[0026] Therefore, for example, when cutting cloth with scissors 10 during sewing and then placing scissors 10 upright on a horizontal surface such as a table, and then intending to use scissors 10 again, scissors 10 can be placed upright by attaching scissors stand support 1 to either of rotation center shaft protruding portions 14a, 14b so that first finger ring 13a, which has a larger opening diameter and outer periphery for inserting multiple fingers other than the thumb, and second finger ring 13b, which has a smaller opening diameter and outer periphery for inserting the thumb, are in an upright positional relationship that is convenient for each right-handed person and left-handed person, thereby making scissors 10 easy to use.

[0027] In sewing, hairdressing, and haircutting at a barber shop, where scissors 10 are used frequently or placed on a horizontal table surface, scissors 10 can be placed in an upright position as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 5. Furthermore, scissors 10 can be placed upright by selecting whether to attach first finger ring 13a, which has a large opening diameter and outer periphery for inserting multiple fingers other than the thumb, and second finger ring 13b, which has a small opening diameter and outer periphery for inserting the thumb, to either rotation center shaft protrusion 14a or 14b so that scissors 10 are placed upright in an upright position that is convenient for both right-handed and left-handed people.

[0028] The scissors erection support tool 1 of this embodiment comprises a base 2 and a support rod portion 3 (FIGS. 1 and 2).

[0029] The tip end of the base 2 is detachably attached to each of the two rotation axis protrusions 14a, 14b of the scissors 10.

[0030] The support rod portion 3 is rotatably attached at its base end, i.e., support rod base end 3b, to the rear end side of the base 2, so that it can be raised and lowered as shown by arrows 102 and 103 (Fig. 2), between a lying-down state (Fig. 1) in which its tip, support rod tip end 3a, extends in a direction parallel to the front-to-rear direction in which scissors pieces 11a and 11b extend, and a standing state (Fig. 2) in which support rod tip end 3a extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction in which scissors pieces 11a and 11b extend.

[0031] 1 and 2, the base 2 is formed from a flat, thin plate-like body 4. The tip (the left end in FIG. 1) of the thin plate-like body 4 is formed into insertion pieces 4a, 4b that are inserted between the surfaces of the rotation center shaft protruding parts 14a, 14b on the side of the scissor pieces 11a, 11b and the outer surfaces of the scissor pieces 11a, 11b when the scissors erection support device 1 is attached to either one of the rotation center shaft protruding parts 14a, 14b (FIGS. 3 and 5).

[0032] Between the loading piece 4a and the loading piece 4b, an engaging groove 5 is formed which fits onto the rotation center shaft 12 when the scissors erection support device 1 is attached to either one of the rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b.

[0033] The loading pieces 4a, 4b at the tip end of the thin plate-like body 4 of the base 2 constituting the scissors erection support device 1 are inserted and detached between the surfaces of the scissors pieces 11a, 11b of the rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b and the outer surfaces of the scissors pieces 11a, 11b, so that the base 2 constituting the scissors erection support device 1 can be freely attached and detached to each of the rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b.

[0034] In the embodiment of the scissors erection support device 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2, the rear end (right end in Figure 1) of the thin plate-like body 4, whose tip (left end in Figure 1) is formed into loading piece portion 4a and loading piece portion 4b, is formed with rotating support portions 6a and 6b.

[0035] In the illustrated embodiment, rotation support portions 6a and 6b are formed at the ends of the rear end of the thin plate-like body 4 in the up-down direction (up-down direction in FIG. 1), which is a direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction (left-to-right direction in FIG. 1) of the thin plate-like body 4. The rotation support portions 6a and 6b are formed by folding back both the upper and lower ends of the rear end of the thin plate-like body 4 and rolling them into a cylindrical shape.

[0036] In the illustrated embodiment, the support rod portion 3 is formed from a linear member. The support rod portion 3 made of a linear member includes shaft portions 7a, 7b loosely fitted into the cylindrical rotation support portions 6a, 6b, central portions 7c, 7d that bend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the shaft portions 7a, 7b and extend in a direction away from the rotation support portions 6a, 6b, and a connecting portion 7e formed by connecting the tips of the central portions 7c, 7d in a U-shape (FIG. 1).

[0037] As described above, the support rod portion 3, which is formed from a linear member, has shaft portions 7a, 7b loosely fitted into cylindrical pivoting support portions 6a, 6b arranged at the rear end of the thin plate-like body 4, so that, as shown by arrows 102 and 103 in Figure 2, the support rod base end portion 3b is rotatably attached to the rear end side of the base 2 so that the support rod can be raised and lowered between a state in which the support rod portion 3 is lying down (Figure 1) in which the support rod tip portion 3a extends in a direction parallel to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend, and a state in which the support rod portion 3 is standing up (Figure 2) in which the support rod tip portion 3a extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend.

[0038] As described above, the base 2 is formed from a flat, thin plate-like body 4, and is provided at its tip (the left end in Figure 1) with insertion pieces 4a, 4b that are inserted between the surfaces of the rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b facing the scissors pieces 11a, 11b and the outer surfaces of the scissors pieces 11a, 11b when the base 2 is attached to one of the rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b of the scissors 10 (Figures 3 and 5).

[0039] Therefore, when the base 2 is attached to either one of the rotation center axis protrusions 14a, 14b of the scissors 10 as shown in Figures 3 and 5, the plane of the flat, thin plate-like body 4 that constitutes the base 2 extends in a direction parallel to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend.

[0040] Figure 1 is a plan view showing the state in which the support rod portion 3 is lying down, with the support rod base end portion 3b of the support rod portion 3 rotatably attached to the rear end of the flat, thin plate-like body 4 that constitutes the base 2 of the scissors erection support device 1, and the support rod tip portion 3a of the support rod portion 3 extending in a direction extending parallel to the plane of the flat, thin plate-like body 4.

[0041] 3 and 5, when the base 2 of the scissors erection support tool 1 is attached to either one of the rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b of the scissors 10, the plane of the flat, thin plate-like body 4 that constitutes the base 2 extends in a direction parallel to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend. Therefore, when the support rod 3 is in the lying position as shown in Fig. 1, the support rod tip 3a extends in a direction parallel to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend.

[0042] On the other hand, Figure 2 is an oblique view seen from the back side of the flat, thin body 4 that constitutes the base 2 of the scissors erection support device 1, showing the state in which the support rod portion 3 is raised, with the support rod base end portion 3b of the support rod portion 3 being rotatably attached to the rear end of the flat, thin body 4 that constitutes the base 2, and the support rod tip portion 3a of the support rod portion 3 extending in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the flat, thin body 4.

[0043] As described above, when the base 2 of the scissors erection support tool 1 is attached to either one of the rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b of the scissors 10, the plane of the flat, thin plate-like body 4 that constitutes the base 2 extends in a direction parallel to the front-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend (FIGS. 3 and 5). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the support rod 3 is in the upright position, the support rod tip 3a extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend.

[0044] FIG. 3 is a partially omitted perspective view illustrating an example of a state in which scissors 10 equipped with scissors erection support device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, to which scissors erection support device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is attached, has support rod tip portion 3a of support rod portion 3 rotated to an upright position and abuts against a horizontal surface, causing scissors 10 equipped with scissors erection support device 1 to be set upright on a horizontal surface, i.e., placed upright. FIG. 4 is a partially omitted perspective view of the state shown in FIG. 3, viewed from a different direction.

[0045] Base 2 of scissors erection support tool 1 is attached to rotation center shaft protrusion 14a of scissors 10, and the front ends (upper ends in FIG. 3) of pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b and the radially outer surface of first finger loop 13a at the rear end side of scissors piece 11a abut against a horizontal surface such as a table, and support rod tip 3a of support rod part 3 abuts against the horizontal surface such as a table. In this way, scissors 10 equipped with scissors erection support tool 1 are set upright on a horizontal surface, i.e., placed upright.

[0046] The front ends (upper ends in Figure 3) of the pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b and the radially outer surface of the first finger ring 13a at the rear end side of scissors piece 11a abut against a horizontal surface such as a table, and the support rod tip portion 3a of support rod portion 3 abuts against the horizontal surface such as a table, so that scissors 10 are installed and placed upright in a slightly tilted position toward the side where scissors standing support device 1 is attached (toward the right side in Figure 3).

[0047] In this manner, in the state shown in Figures 3 and 4, scissors 10, in which a pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are closed around rotation center axis 12, is set upright, i.e., placed upright, on a horizontal surface by scissors standing support device 1 in a state in which first finger ring 13a, which has a larger opening diameter and outer circumferential diameter because multiple fingers other than the thumb are inserted, is positioned vertically lower than second finger ring 13b, which has a smaller opening diameter and outer circumferential diameter because the thumb is inserted, and is slightly tilted toward the side where scissors standing support device 1 is attached (toward the right in Figure 3) rather than in a vertical state.

[0048] Therefore, it is convenient for a left-handed person to lift scissors 10 by moving their left hand from the back side of the drawing toward the front side of the drawing, inserting multiple fingers other than the thumb into first finger ring 13a, and inserting the thumb into second finger ring 13b.

[0049] FIG. 5 is a perspective view with some parts omitted to illustrate another example of a state in which scissors 10 equipped with scissors erection support device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, to which scissors erection support device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is attached, has support rod tip portion 3a of support rod portion 3 rotated to an upright position and abuts against a horizontal surface, causing scissors 10 equipped with scissors erection support device 1 to be placed upright on a horizontal surface, i.e., placed upright.

[0050] Base 2 of scissors erection support tool 1 is attached to rotation center shaft protrusion 14b of scissors 10, and the front ends (lower ends in FIG. 5) of pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b and the radially outer surface of first finger ring 13a at the rear end side of scissors piece 11a abut against a horizontal surface such as a table, and support rod tip 3a of support rod part 3 abuts against the horizontal surface such as a table. In this way, scissors 10 equipped with scissors erection support tool 1 are set upright on a horizontal surface, i.e., placed upright.

[0051] The front ends (lower ends in Figure 5) of the pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b and the radially outer surface of the first finger ring 13a at the rear end side of scissors piece 11a abut against a horizontal surface such as a table, and the support rod tip portion 3a of support rod portion 3 abuts against the horizontal surface such as a table, so that scissors 10 are installed and placed upright in a slightly tilted position toward the side where scissors standing support device 1 is attached (towards the right side in Figure 5).

[0052] In this manner, in the state shown in Figure 5, scissors 10, in which a pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b are closed around rotation center axis 12, is set upright, i.e., placed upright, on a horizontal surface by scissors standing support device 1 in a state in which first finger ring 13a, which has a larger opening diameter and outer circumferential diameter because multiple fingers other than the thumb are inserted, is positioned vertically lower than second finger ring 13b, which has a smaller opening diameter and outer circumferential diameter because the thumb is inserted, and is slightly tilted toward the side where scissors standing support device 1 is attached (toward the right in Figure 5) rather than in a vertical state.

[0053] Therefore, it is convenient for a right-handed person to lift up scissors 10 by moving the right hand from the back side of the drawing toward the front side of the drawing, inserting multiple fingers other than the thumb into first finger ring 13a, and inserting the thumb into second finger ring 13b.

[0054] As described above, the support rod portion 3 is structured so that the base end portion 3b of the support rod is rotatably attached to the rear end side of the base 2 so that it can rise and fall between a lying down state (FIG. 1) in which the tip end portion 3a of the support rod extends in a direction parallel to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a and 11b extend, and a standing up state (FIG. 2) in which the tip end portion 3a of the support rod extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a and 11b extend, as shown by arrows 102 and 103 in FIG. 2.

[0055] In the state shown in Figure 5, the support rod portion 3 is in an upright position as shown in Figure 2, and in the state shown in Figure 3, the support rod portion 3 is slightly rotated in the direction indicated by arrow 103 (Figure 5) from the upright position shown in Figure 2 toward the lying-down position of the support rod portion 3 shown in Figure 1.

[0056] Therefore, in the state shown in Figure 5, scissors 10 can be installed upright, i.e., placed upright, in a nearly vertical position on a horizontal surface such as a table, where the front ends (lower ends in Figure 5) of the pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b, the radially outer surface of first finger ring 13a at the rear end side of scissors piece 11a, and the support rod tip portion 3a of support rod portion 3 are in contact.

[0057] In contrast to this, in the state shown in FIG. 3, the scissors 10 can be placed upright, that is, stand upright, in a state slightly inclined from the vertical state with respect to a horizontal surface such as a table, as compared to the state shown in FIG.

[0058] In this way, the support rod portion 3 is structured so that it can be raised and lowered, as shown by arrows 102 and 103 in FIG. 2, between a state in which the support rod portion 3 is lying down (FIG. 1) in which the support rod tip portion 3a extends in a direction parallel to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a and 11b extend, and a state in which the support rod portion 3 is standing up (FIG. 2) in which the support rod tip portion 3a extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a and 11b extend. Therefore, when scissors 10 are placed upright on a horizontal surface such as a table, the angle at which they are placed upright on the horizontal surface such as a table can be adjusted by adjusting the rotational state of support rod portion 3 as shown by arrows 102 and 103 in FIG. 2.

[0059] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, when the scissors erection support device 1 is attached to one of the two rotation axis protrusions 14a, 14b of the scissors 10 and the scissors 10 is placed upright, the thumb and multiple fingers other than the thumb are inserted into the second finger ring 13b and the first finger ring 13a, respectively, to lift the scissors 10 and resume sewing, hairdressing, or haircutting at a barber's salon.When this is done, by laying the support rod 3 down as shown in Figure 1, the support rod tip 3a will extend in a direction parallel to the front-to-rear direction in which the scissors pieces 11a, 11b extend.

[0060] Therefore, the existence of the scissors erection support tool 1 and its support rod portion 3 does not cause any hindrance to sewing work, hairdressing, or haircutting at a barber's salon.

[0061] As described above, the tip end of base 2 is detachably attached to each of two rotation axis protrusions 14a, 14b of scissors 10. Therefore, as explained in Figures 3 and 4, in order to make scissors 10 easier to use for left-handed people, when scissors 10 are placed upright on a horizontal surface using scissors stand support 1 in a state where scissors 10, with pair of scissor pieces 11a, 11b closed around rotation axis 12, have first finger ring 13a positioned lower than second finger ring 13b in the vertical direction and are slightly tilted toward the side where scissors stand support 1 is attached (to the right in Figure 3), it is advantageous to attach scissors stand support 1 to rotation axis protrusion 14a of scissors 10.

[0062] Furthermore, as explained in FIG. 5, in order to make scissors 10 easier for right-handed people to use, with pair of scissors pieces 11a, 11b closed around rotation center axis 12, first finger ring 13a is positioned lower than second finger ring 13b in the vertical direction, and scissors 10 is placed upright on a horizontal surface using scissors stand support 1 in a slightly tilted position toward the side where scissors stand support 1 is attached (toward the right in FIG. 5) rather than in a vertical position. When scissors 10 are placed upright using scissors stand support 1, it is advantageous to attach scissors stand support 1 to rotation center axis protrusion 14b of scissors 10.

[0063] When the base 2 of the scissors erection support device 1 is to be detachably attached to each of the two rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b of the scissors 10, for example, a form of attachment and detachment can be adopted in which both ends of the rotation center shaft 12 are screwed together with the members that make up the rotation center shaft protrusions 14a, 14b.

[0064] For example, in the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4, the rotation center shaft protruding portion 14a, which is screwed onto the end of the rotation center shaft 12 protruding outward from the scissors piece 11a, can be removed, the loading pieces 4a and 4b at the tip of the thin plate-like body 4 that constitutes the base 2 can be inserted, the fitting groove portion 5 can be fitted into the rotation center shaft 12, and then the rotation center shaft protruding portion 14a can be screwed onto the end of the rotation center shaft 12 protruding outward from the scissors piece 11a to complete the installation.

[0065] In the embodiment of Figure 5, the rotation center shaft protrusion 14b, which is screwed onto the end of the rotation center shaft 12 protruding outward from the scissors piece 11b, can be removed, the loading pieces 4a, 4b at the tip of the thin plate-like body 4 that constitutes the base 2 can be inserted, the fitting groove 5 can be fitted into the rotation center shaft 12, and then the rotation center shaft protrusion 14b can be screwed onto the end of the rotation center shaft 12 protruding outward from the scissors piece 11b to complete the installation.

[0066] The base 2 and support rod portion 3 constituting the scissors erection support tool 1 can be made of various materials such as metal, synthetic resin, etc., as long as they can perform the above-mentioned functions.

[0067] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be modified into various forms within the technical scope understood from the description of the claims.
