Claims7
An electric sharpener, comprising:
- a battery section a sharpener section;
- a battery powered motor;
- a reduction means having planetary gears for transmitting the output of said motor to said sharpener section;
- and a switch section located between said motor and the battery section;
- whereby said sharpener section, said motor, and said reduction means define a slidable body which can move in the axial direction so that said switch is controlled by said movement in the axial direction.
An electric sharpener in claim (5), wherein said pushing force dispersion means consists of a retaining ring and a washer, both of which are run through by said motor output shaft, and application of a pushing force to said sharpener section in the axial direction will cause said retaining ring and said washer to push the end face of said protruded member.
An electric sharpener in claim (1), wherein said battery consists of one or more nickel-cadmium cells.
