PEDESTAL FOR ELECTRIC SCISSORS

摘要

A pedestal for supporting an electric scissors having a housing and a ledger blade mounted at the front of the housing. The pedestal comprises a plastic plate having formed therein a longitudinal slot extending from the upper surface to the lower surface thereof. An integral bridging member longitudinally spans the slot at the upper surface of the plate. A blade-receiving slot is formed in the bridging member for detachably connecting the ledger blade to the pedestal. The blade receiving slot includes an abutment surface against which the ledger blade coacts to prevent the blade from inadvertently withdrawing from the slot. A longitudinal recess may extend along the lower surface of the plate from the termination of the slot to control the amount of springyness of the pedestal. The pedestal is such that it not only supports the scissors on a cutting surface but dampens the vibrations and thus the noise level transmitted from the scissors to the cutting surface.
