We present a semi-classical analysis of the B(M1) and B(E2) transition probabilities in the shears bands in {sup 193-199}Pb as a function of the shears angle. This provides a semi-empirical confirmation of the shears mechanism proposed by S. Frauendorf using the Tilted-Axis-Cranking model. We interpret this as a consequence of a residual interaction between the proton and neutron blades, and it is shown that the main ingredient of this effective force can be described by a P{sub 2}({theta}) term with a strength of 400-600 keV. Such an interaction can be mediated through the core by particle-vibration coupling. The competition between the shears and the rotation of the core is investigated within the framework of a classical solution of two particles-plus-rotor model.
