Electrically heated scissors with resistive coating on each limb

摘要

The scissors has its two limbs (10,12) held together by screw (14) and their cutting edges are heated by DC or AC supplied to the coatings (24,26) from a connection (28) on one of the handles. The same handle carries a conductive spring contact (30) which is pressed against a contact (32) on the other handle when a cutting operation is performed. The limbs are manufactured of steel with a high melting point and their surfaces can be treated to prevent corrosion for particular applications. Their handles can be joined by a flat ribbon cable of symmetrical shape with a bend in the middle.
