Abstract
A pair of scissorlike members are pivotally interconnected and include opposed jaw portions. One of the jaws includes a concave passageway extending along its substantial length and a plurality of spaced apart transversely extending grooves are formed in said passageway. The other jaw is truncated in shape and matingly engages the passageway when the jaws are closed. A length of wire may be received in the groove and when the jaws are closed the wire is deformed into a U-shape.
Claims4
An electrical tool comprising,
- a pair of scissors members pivotally interconnected and having oppositely disposed jaw elements,
- one of said jaw elements having a concave semicylindrical in cross section passageway facing said other jaw and including a plurality of transversely extending grooves, said passageway increasing in diameter from its outer end inwardly,
- said other jaw element having a finger having a convex mating surface for mating engagement with said concave passageway, said finger increasing in diameter from the outer end inwardly whereby a length of wire placed between said jaws in one of said grooves will be deformed into an arcuate U-shaped portion upon said jaws being closed.
