Abstract
A cable stripping tool according to one embodiment is a cable stripping tool that strips a sheath of a cable. The cable stripping tool includes a blade protruding from an inner surface of a hole into which the cable is to be inserted. The sheath of the cable inserted into the hole is cut by the blade when the cable is pulled out from the hole along an extending direction of the cable. A cross-sectional shape of the hole is a non-circular shape in a plane orthogonal to the extending direction. The hole includes a space portion that a deformed portion of the cable inserted into the hole enters.
Claims18
A cable stripping tool that strips a sheath of a cable, the tool comprising:
- a cable stripping portion including,
- a holding portion,
- an inclined surface that is gradually and uniformly reduced in diameter toward the holding portion, is formed in an insertion portion into which a cable is to be inserted;
- a hole extending from the inclined surface, the hole is configured to receive the cable, the hole having an insertion portion and an end portion, the end portion partially defining the holding portion, the hole extending from the insertion portion to the end portion with a substantially constant cross-section which defines an extension direction of the cable;
- and
- a blade protruding from an inner surface of the hole being held by the holding portion, wherein:
- the sheath of the cable inserted into the hole is configured to be cut by the blade when the cable is pulled out from the hole along the extending direction of the cable, and
- wherein a cross-sectional shape of the hole is a non-circular shape in a plane orthogonal to the extending direction such that the hole includes a space portion configured to receive a deformed portion of the cable.
