Electric scissors

Abstract

Electric scissors includes: a pair of blades, and at least one being a movable blade, having a blade portion configured to cut a to-be-cut object; a drive unit configured to drive open and close the at least one movable blade; 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 at least one movable blade; and a first support part and a second support part engaged with the pair of blades, configured to support 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.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, configured to support the to-be-cut object inserted between the pair of blades in an opened state. The first elastic holding part covers at least one of the opposing sides of the movable blade in a direction orthogonal to an opening and closing direction of the pair of blades and holds the to-be-cut object when the pair of blades close. The first and second support parts are disposed apart from the pair of blades in the direction orthogonal to the opening and closing direction of the pair of blades and are arranged not to move together with the movable blade. By holding the to-be-cut object using the holding part and support parts, the electric scissors prevent a to-be-cut object from being tilted as it is being cut, therefore preventing the to-be-cut object from being scattered.
