Abstract

An electric scissors has a body and a changeable shear. The body has a stationary shear and an oscillating blade holder. The stationary shear has an arm and a first blade. The arm is formed on and protrudes outwardly from a front end of the body. The first blade is securely mounted on the arm. The oscillating blade holder is pivotally mounted to the front end of the body to oscillate relative to the stationary shear, and has a rail formed on the oscillating blade holder. The changeable shear has a blade seat and a second blade. The blade seat has a channel detachably and slidably engaging the rail of the oscillating blade holder. The second blade is securely mounted on the blade seat to obliquely abut the first blade. With the replaceable blade, the electric scissors can be continuously used without discarding the whole electric scissors when the blade is dull or damaged.

Claims

1. An electric scissors comprising:

a body having

a stationary shear having

an arm formed on and protruding outwardly from a front end of the body; and

a first blade securely mounted on the arm;

an oscillating blade holder pivotally mounted on the front end of the body to oscillate relative to the stationary shear, and having a rail formed on a front portion of the oscillating blade holder; and

a changeable shear having

a blade seat having a channel defined in the blade seat and detachably and slidably engaging the rail of the oscillating blade holder; and

a second blade securely mounted on the blade seat to obliquely abut the first blade.

2. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 1, wherein the oscillating blade holder further comprises a stop formed on and protruding from a front end of the oscillating blade holder.

3. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 2, wherein the changeable shear further comprises:

an undulated tip formed on a top of a front end of the blade seat; and

a recess formed in a bottom of the front end of the blade seat to engage the stop of the oscillating blade holder.

4. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rail of the oscillating blade holder and the channel of the changeable shear have a T-shaped cross section.

5. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 2, wherein the rail of the oscillating blade holder and the channel of the changeable shear have a T-shaped cross section.

6. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 3, wherein the rail of the oscillating blade holder and the channel of the changeable shear have a T-shaped cross section.

7. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rail of the oscillating blade holder is a dovetail-shaped rail, and the channel of the changeable shear is a dovetail-shaped channel.

8. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 2, wherein the rail of the oscillating blade holder is a dovetail-shaped rail, and the channel of the changeable shear is a dovetail-shaped channel.

9. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 3, wherein the rail of the oscillating blade holder is a dovetail-shaped rail, and the channel of the changeable shear is a dovetail-shaped channel.

10. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 1, wherein the oscillating blade holder has a notch formed through a rear portion of the oscillating blade holder.

11. The electric scissors as claimed in claim 10, further comprising:

at least one battery received in the body;

a motor mounted inside the body and having a spindle;

a spring leaf mounted inside the body to electrically connect with the at least one battery and selectively abut the motor;

a button pivotally mounted on the body and near the spring leaf to push the spring leaf to electrically connect the motor with the at least one battery when the button is pressed, and to restore the spring leaf to electrically disconnect the motor from the at least one battery when the button is released; and

a gear set having

a pinion mounted on and driven by the spindle of the motor; and

a gear engaging and driven by the pinion, having a central shaft and an eccentric shaft held within the notch of the oscillating blade holder and driving the oscillating blade holder to oscillate when the gear is rotating.
