Manual toll for stripping electrical cables and set of tools for stripping said cables

Tool for stripping electrical cables comprising a frame (1) on which are installed two jaw blocks (2, 3) both coacting with a same mechanism (4) for regulating their mutual positions, at least one of the two blocks being provided with a V-shaped groove defining with the other jaw block a recess for the cable to be stripped and at least one of the two blocks being provided with at least one cutting tool, characterized in that:

• the frame (1) comprises two parallel columns (5) rigidly connected at their ends by two crosspieces (6), these two columns (5) and these two crosspieces (6) forming a rigid framework,
• the two jaw blocks (2, 3) are mounted slidably on the two columns (5) and are disposed symmetrically relative to a central geometric plane (P) of the frame and orthogonal to the columns (5) of this latter,
• the two jaw blocks (2, 3) are disposed both on the same side of the framework defined by the two columns (5) and the two crosspieces (6),
• and the mechanism (4) for regulating the position of the two jaw blocks which ensures a symmetrical positioning of the two jaws relative to the geometric plane defined above, comprises a screw-threaded rod (40) with a manipulating knob, (41) extending parallel to the columns (5) between the two crosspieces (6), said screw-threaded rod (40) being immobilized in translation and movable in rotation relative to the frame (1) and comprising a first screw-threaded section (401) with a right-hand thread, engaged screw-threadedly in a through tapping provided in one of the jaw blocks (,3) and a second screw-threaded section (402) with a left-hand thread and of the same value as the pitch of the preceding section, said second screw-threaded section (402) being engaged in a through tapping provided in the other jaw block (2, 3).
