SCISSORS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 681,327, dated August 27, 1901.

Application filed October 16, 1900. Serial No. 33,206. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH WILHELM KLEVER, J12, merchant, a citizen of Germany, and a resident of Solingen, Rhineland, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements ina Pair of Scissors Which Can be Used at the Same Time as Calipers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to buttonhole-scissors, which may be accurately gaged and set to cut bottonholes of difierent sizes.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved scissors; Fig. 2, a similar view showing the opposite side, and Fig. 3 a side viewsliowing the scissors partly open.

The letters ot a represent the handles of the scissors, the blades of which have the usual notches t for starting the buttonhole. Near its rear end one of the blades is provided with a scale s, concentric to the pivot, while the other blade is cut away at its rear end to expose such scale, and is provided with a pointer a, moving along the same. In order to control the degree to which the scissors may be opened, and consequently the size of the but tonhole, a set-screw or adjustable stop m' is arranged between the rear ends of the blades.

In use the scale is set to the size of the buttonhole desired and then the set-screw is ad-' Witnesses ERNST KATZ, CARL EHLES.
