Abstract
In order to allow conductors or wires having different cross sections to be easily and reliably stripped, the swivelling axis pin of a stripper is designed as a double axis pin whose first substantially cylindrical pivot is arranged in a first leg and whose second substantially cylindrical pivot is arranged in a second leg. Both pivots are held and guided in an intermediate element. This sliding hinge allows both legs with their cutting tool parts to be held as forceps and to be pressed against each other and slid in one direction with respect to each other by actuating guiding elements arranged on the legs.
Claims18
In a device for stripping insulation from wires, said device comprising two legs designed as stripping tools, each leg having at one end at least one swivel pin about which the respective leg can pivot, and having in the area of its other end, at least one cutting tool element;
- the improvement comprising an intermediate element pivotally connected at spaced points thereof to said swivel pins of said two legs, thereby forming a double hinge, such that when both legs, with their respective cutting tool parts, are held as forceps and are pressed against each other, they slide in contrary motion against each other and their respective cutting tool elements are forced away from each other to strip insulation from a wire.
