Abstract

Electric pruning shears include: a first blade including a first blade portion that cuts an object to be cut and a first support base portion extended in a direction different from the first blade portion as viewed from the pivot portion; and the second blade including a second blade portion that cuts the object to be cut by sandwiching the object to be cut together with the first blade portion and a second support base portion extended in a direction different from the second blade portion as viewed from the pivot portion. The first blade portion is a convex curved blade with an intermediate portion from the pivot portion side to a distal end convexed, and the second blade portion is a concave curved blade with an intermediate portion from the pivot portion side to a distal end concaved. A bevel angle of the second blade portion gradually becomes obtuse from the pivot portion side to the distal end. At least one of the first support base portion and the second support base portion is connected to a power transmitter that transmits power from a drive source that is electrically driven. With this configuration, electric pruning shears capable of satisfactorily performing cutting without blade slippage even when the object to be cut is a thick branch, thereby making it possible to improve user’s satisfaction.

Electric pruning shears comprising:

a first blade;
a second blade;
and
a pivot portion configured to pivotally support the first blade and/or the second blade in a relatively rotatable manner,
wherein the first blade includes:
a first blade portion that is to be brought into contact with an object to be cut and is configured to cut the object to be cut;
and
a first support base portion extended in a direction different from the first blade portion as viewed from the pivot portion,
the second blade includes:
a second blade portion that is to be brought into contact with the object to be cut and is configured to cut the object to be cut by sandwiching the object to be cut together with the first blade portion;
and
a second support base portion extended in a direction different from the second blade portion as viewed from the pivot portion,
the first blade portion is a convex curved blade with an intermediate portion from the pivot portion side to a distal end convexed,
the second blade portion is a concave curved blade with an intermediate portion from the pivot portion side to a distal end concaved,
a drive source configured to turn at least one of the first support base portion and the second support base portion to relatively open or close the first blade portion and the second blade portion is included, and
the second blade portion includes, in at least a part of the second blade portion, a bevel angle changing portion, a bevel angle of which gradually becomes acute with respect to a bevel angle on the distal end side.
