Electrically heated honeycomb cutter
View Patent ↗A honeycomb cutter has a cutting block that is of a mold shape that can cut honeycomb into honeycomb pieces of desired shape and size. The cutting block can be heated wherein the hot and sharp cutting block can easily cut through the honeycomb. The honeycomb cutter has a heating block for heating the cutting block.
1. A honeycomb cutter for cutting honeycomb into honeycomb pieces of desired shape and sizes, the honeycomb cutter comprises:
a cutting block that is hollow with surrounding thin walls and an open bottom, the thin walls have sharp edges, a shape and size of the cutting block corresponds to a shape and size of the honeycomb pieces;
a heating block, wherein the cutting block is interchangeably coupled to the heating block, the heating block is configured to heat the thin walls;
a handle spatially positioned above the heating block; and
a U-shape rigid tube extending between the handle and heating block, the U-shape rigid tube configured to support the handle above the heating block.
2. The honeycomb cutter of claim 1 , wherein the honeycomb cutter further comprises:
a tunnel that passes through the U-shape rigid tube and the handle, one end of the tunnel opens in the heating block and another end of the tunnel opens at a free end of the handle; and
a wire connecting the heating block to a power supply, wherein the wire from the heating block passes through the tunnel and exits from the free end of the handle.
3. The honeycomb cutter of claim 1 , wherein the cutting block is square.
4. The honeycomb cutter of claim 1 , wherein the U-shape rigid tube is made of stainless steel.
5. The honeycomb cutter of claim 1 , wherein the cutting block is made of copper.
6. The honeycomb cutter of claim 5 , wherein the cutting block has an outer protective layer of anti-corrosion material.
7. A honeycomb cutter for cutting honeycomb into honeycomb pieces of desired shape and sizes, the honeycomb cutter comprises:
a cutting block that is hollow with surrounding thin walls and an open bottom, the thin walls have sharp edges, a shape and size of the cutting block corresponds to a shape and size of the honeycomb pieces;
a heating block, wherein the cutting block is interchangeably coupled to the heating block, the heating block is configured to heat the thin walls;
a handle spatially positioned above the heating block;
a U-shape rigid tube configured to support the handle, the U-shape rigid tube extends between the handle and the heating block; and
a heat shield spatially positioned between the handle and the heating block.
