Abstract
An improved device for stripping electrical and similar wires is disclosed. A main body and an arm are articulated at one end of each. The main body includes cutting blades at the top of arcuate openings. The cable to be stripped is clamped between the articulated members so that the cutting blade cuts the sheath to be removed from the electric cable but does not cut the underlying conductor. Additional features include capability of longitudinal cutting of the sheathing, controlled graduation means for precise control of the depth of cut, and a cooperating recess and projection arrangement for easy removal of the cut sheath.
Claims10
Improved apparatus for stripping electric cables and the like, characterized by consisting of a main body bearing several cutting blades arranged substantially perpendicular to the body and protruding from several recesses formed by arcs of different radii in the body, corresponding supporting shapes extending from an arm articulated to said main body, the combination of the two permitting the lengthwise and crosswise stripping of cables, said articulated arm, at its end near the zone of articulation, defining a mounting zone for other knives which, corresponding to an opening in the main body, permit the final stripping of the inner conductors of the cable;
- said knives being capable of engaging a support of said main body provided with a suitable seat area to cut off said inner conductors.
