Abstract
A stripping device for wire, or the like: a spindle is freely rotatably mounted inside a housing; appropriate threaded connections between the spindle and the interior of the housing cause the spindle to rotate axially when the spindle is pulled; an insulating cutting knife is operatively connected with the spindle to rotate therewith; a passage leads past the cutting edge of the knife; the knife is pivotable out of the passage to permit the wire to be inserted into the passage and then the knife returns to the cutting position after insertion of the wire; pulling upon the wire pulls the spindle, causes the spindle to spin and rotates the knife around the insulation layer.
