most effective for preventing the pusher from catching on twigs and branches therefore a hemispherical shape for the attachment ring for the open mesh container is the preferred embodiment when an open mesh container is used another way to describe the preferred embodiment in fig1 is that fig1 shows a first handle 1 connected to a first blade 7 having a first sharp edge as well as a second handle 3 the second handle 3 being connected to a second blade 8 having a second sharp edge the two handles with the blades attached are shown anchored together by a connection means 5 there is a handle stop means 2 to prevent the shears from crossing too far during the closing cycle of the blades a pusher element 6 is anchored to the first blade opposite the first sharp edge the pusher element 6 extending perpendicularly to the plane of the first blade 7 for pushing material cut off by the shears off of the first blade 7 toward the second blade 8 also there can be a saw blade 15 with teeth extending substantially in the same direction as the connection means and anchored to the first blade 7 fig2 shows an isometric view from above of an identical device except that in this embodiment instead of a mesh container for clippings a cloth container 11 is attached to the upper blade 8 by a bag anchor ring 9 attached by a clip means 10 the anchor ring 9 holds the cloth container bag 11 open by having clips 10 attached to it around.
