Abstract
Electric scissors includes at least one movable blade having a blade portion which cuts a to-be-cut object. A drive unit opens and closes the at least one movable blade, and a holding part holds the to-be-cut object that is cut by the at least one movable blade. A support part supports the to-be-cut object, which is cut by the at least one movable blade, while regulating a direction of the to-be-cut object.
Claims7
Electric scissors comprising:
- a pair of blades, each of the pair of blades having a blade portion configured to cut a to-be-cut object, and at least one of the pair of blades being a movable blade;
- a drive unit configured to drive the movable blade such that the pair of blades open and close;
- a first elastic holding part configured to hold the to-be-cut object that is cut by the pair of blades, the first elastic holding part attached to and movable together with the movable blade;
- and
- a first support part and a second support part engaged with the pair of blades, the first and second support parts being configured to support the to-be-cut object and configured to suppress the to-be-cut object while being supported from being tilted with respect to the pair of blades, the first support part and the second support part each including a groove portion, which is configured to support the to-be-cut object inserted between the pair of blades in an opened state,
- wherein the first elastic holding part covers at least one of opposing sides of the movable blade in a direction orthogonal to an opening direction and a closing direction of the pair of blades, and comes into contact with the to-be-cut object when the pair of blades closes, thus holding the to-be-cut object, and
- wherein the first support part and the second support part are disposed apart from the pair of blades in the direction orthogonal to the opening direction and the closing direction of the pair of blades and is-are arranged not to move together with the movable blade.
