Leather project #8 scissor sheath (new design with button) - レザープロジェクト #8 シザーシース（ボタン付きの新デザイン）

          Leather project #8 scissor sheath (new design with simple button)

レザープロジェクト＃8 シザーシース（シンプルなボタン付きの新デザイン）。

    After several round of designing a few scissor sheath, majority with button strap.  Now try out new idea on scissor sheath without strap to keep scissor in place.

数回にわたってハサミの鞘を設計した後、そのほとんどはボタンストラップ付きでした。今度は、ハサミを所定の位置に保つためのストラップなしのハサミの鞘という新しいアイデアを試します。

    Introduce and use VT2 button size to hold the scissor in place.
Hence make use of the scissor nut and bolt head to keep it in position. As the protrusion make a idle way to restrict movement and minimize scissor from dropping off sheath.

VT2 ボタン サイズを導入して使用し、ハサミを所定の位置に保持します。

したがって、ハサミのナットとボルト ヘッドを使用して、所定の位置に保ちます。突起がアイドル ウェイを作成するため、動きが制限され、ハサミが鞘から落ちるのを最小限に抑えます。

Updated 8th April.

This is how the inner layer are constructed, the white layer is a paper base hard paper.

Tips: the white hard paper is to engage with the step of scissor (close to the nut/thread). This is to minimize tips of scissor reaching the tip of sheath.

これが内層の構成です。白い層は紙ベースの硬質紙です。

ヒント: 白い硬質紙はハサミの段 (ナット/ねじに近い) にかみ合います。これは、ハサミの先端が鞘の先端に到達するのを最小限に抑えるためです。

Close up view of the inner sheath

Updated 8th April.
This how I wrap the inner sheath with a outer leather layer.

More close up view

Take the hard paper

You will notice I use the inner layer with one end of the edge to prevent scissor protruding too deep hence act as a "stopper".

Add button accessories, use a hand press with proper VT2 punch set

TIPS :  to ensure punch hole are in alignment, use a straight edge to assist.

Punch hole before stitching start.

Close up view on the tip, it better to start from tip area , forward and backward three or four step

Stitching the tip toward handle of scissor.

End product of project

Update on 9th June 2024

This is how it define length of scissor.

Leather project #7 Summary on Scissor Sheath

                                 Leather project #7 Summary on scissor sheath 


This is to summarize on type of pivoted scissor, design, functionality and shape of scissor sheath.
These are some common scissor I have access or I own some of them. Of course there is a wide range of scissor design to fit the wide ranges base on your needs and requirement.

 Overall view of type , shape, size and design of scissor so far I had encountered.

There so many type and functionality scissor which make it a real challenge to design a sheath for them.

However it pose a real challenge each scissor sheath I design was to make it easy to use and ease of removal and insertion.

Close up view of scissors for a typical tailor (fabric shear) use .

 Sharing certain type and design of scissor sheath.

From left side is basic  scissor sheath uses thick paper base material wrap round with discarded leather strip.

Second from left is another scissor sheath, it consist of two leather shape according to scissor profile. It is wrap with discarded leather strip (after skiver a leather the discarded material)

From Right side is simple scissor sheath encase the the left side basic scissor sheath casing. Add button strap to minimize movement when a scissor is inserted.

I try to design a scissor sheath that match the user needs and ease to store and retrieve it.

This is a very earlier design for this type of scissor. it big and type of holder it simple.
The inside is another layer (material could be scrap leather or paper base sheet) to minimize leather surface wear and tear.











More to come in future on scissor sheath type . Hope you like any design and please let me know if interested on more details. Thank you for your support and have a nice day.

Note what display here is a typical type of scissor I encountered.
However if you are interested on type of scissor there are numerous web site to surf to have greater understanding.

はさみの鞘の別のデザインタイプを試します

Use this method to protect the scissor tips. You will notice

I create a stopper layer to minimize scissor moving forward. この方法を使用して、はさみの先端を保護します。レイヤーによってはさみが深く動かないことがわかります。

はさみが前方に動くのを最小限に抑えるために、ストッパー レイヤーを作成します。

This hard layer is to act act "stopper" to be in contact with the scissor nut or screw head.
The purpose of this hard layer is to make contact with scissor nut when inserted into sheath.  

この硬質層は、シザーナットまたはネジの頭と接触するための「ストッパー」として機能します。

Finally have time to disassemble the original scissor sheath after carefully taking it apart.

* the owner was more than happy to pass this sheath for further analysis and what part that can be improve and add value to his current sheath.
 
Of  course if I think in term of improvement and change is unlimited and idea are abundant.

1) like example the pivot point of attachment,
2) add a more secure sleeve to minimize sharp point tools to pork thru at the tips,
3) how to fabricate a user friendlier and ease to keep and retrieve.
4) New idea for user to enjoy what other tools holder to add

Tools used to disassemble this sheath.
This original sheath is made in Japan as per end user description.

It looks very well fabricate and this sheath was in used for several years.
This owner have try it best to maintain condition, however due to wear and tear, it need to re condition to it best on my ability.

There are some cotton wool like fabric to protect inner layer. This is just a guessing game..

After removing original thread the owner handyman repair with small Gage wire. As he felt the easiest repair and what was available at that time and lasting effect by wire

Next to clean the leather layer and see how best to restore this sheath.
To be continue later, after some research to good method to restore to it original condition base on my best ability.
