Abstract

Claims27
A tool for cutting an object comprising:
- a first member, a second member movably mounted on the first member, said second member having means engageable with the object to be cut, a third member movably mounted relative to the first member, pivot means pivotally connecting the third member to the first member, blade means having generally circular cutting means facing said second member means pivotally mounted on the pivot means, drive means connecting the second member and third member, said blade means having a generally radial slot accommodating the drive means wherein when the first and third members are moved toward each other, said drive means rotates the blade means toward said second member means and the drive means moves the second member means toward said cutting means so as to cut an object located between said cutting means and the second member means.
A tool for cutting an object comprising:
- an elongated first member having a passage open to one end thereof and a pair of laterally spaced side members, a second member comprising an anvil having an elongated linear base slideably extended into said passage and a jaw joined to the base and extended upwardly therefrom, a third member having laterally spaced arms movably mounted relative to the first member, pivot means connecting the arms of the third member to said laterally spaced side members of the first member, blade means having an outer peripheral, generally circular edge and outer peripheral, generally circular edge thereof facing said jaw, said blade means being rotatably mounted on the pivot means whereby the blade means can be selectively rotated toward or away from the jaw, drive pin means connecting the arms to the base of the anvil, said blade means having a slot accommodating said pin means wherein on movement of the first and third members toward each other, the blade means rotates toward the jaw and the jaw moves toward the blade means so as to cut an object located between said blade means and jaw.
A tool for cutting an object comprising:
- a first means having a first handle and a jaw engageable with an object to be cut, a second means having a second handle, pivot means pivotally connecting the first means to the second means, blade means having a generally arcuate cutting means facing said jaw, means pivotally connecting the blade means to the second means, and drive means connected to the first means, said blade means having a slot accommodating the drive means wherein when the first and second handles are moved toward each other, said drive means rotates the blade means about the means pivotally connecting the blade means to the second means as the blade means moves toward the jaw so as to cut an object located between the blade means and the jaw.
