Electric emasculator and method for castrating

An electric emasculator for castrating a bull calf or the like comprising

• a first scissor member having a first shank and terminating at one end into a first structure dfining an essentially arcuate-L shaped hook including a first cutting edge means in order to hook the scrotum of the bull calf or the like and assist in the severing operation;
• a second scissor member pivotally secured to said first scissor member and terminating at one end into a second structure defining a bifurcated fork with a pair of parallel upper edges and a bifurcated second shank, said first shank of said first scissor member pivotally lodges within said bifurcated second shank as said arcuate-L shaped hook including said first cutting edge means scissors through the bifurcated opening between the bifurcated fork;
• one of said parallel upper edges has a structure defining a second cutting edge means;
• a heating element means positioned entirely along the other parallel upper edge to cauterize as an incident to the severing operation and assist in blood coagulation to prevent the flow of blood and closure of blood vessels in the area of amputation;
• an electric conductor means engaged to a power source for conducting electricity to the heating element means;
• said second scissor member having a structure defining a generally longitudinal conduit wherethrough said electric conductor means lodges in its connection path to the heating element means;
• said first scissor member additionally comprises a crushing block means integrally bound to said essentially arcuate-L shaped hook which stops or limits the downward cutting movement of the first cutting edge means of the first scissor member between the bifurcated fork;
• a switch means situated on said second scissor member for releasing power to the heating element means;
• a bolt means piercing the first and second shank to pivotally bound the first scissor member and second scissor member together;
• said crushing block means is bound to said essentially arcuate-L shaped hook at a point on same such that the end of the first structure registers with the bottom of said second structure;
• said first scissor member and said second scissor member each terminate at the other end into a first handle and a second handle respectively;
• and
• said second handle includes said longitudinal conduit structure and terminates at a point where said electric conductor means enters into said longitudinal conduit structure, said first cutting edge means and said second cutting edge means slidably contact each other when said emasculator is in a closed docking posture.
