Abstract
A cable stripper for use with a cable anchor has an elongate cutter on a tubular body, the cutter having at one end thereof, an inwardly projecting transverse cutter blade. The cutter and the tubular body are connected so as to allow the cutter to move relative to the tubular body, which is insertable into said passage in the cable anchor, with the cable extending through the tubular body, so as to cause the frusto-conical internal surface to wedge the cutter blade into penetrating engagement with a sheath on the cable.
Claims7
A cable stripper, comprising:
- a tubular body;
- said tubular body having a tapered end portion and a cylindrical passage extending through said tapered end portion;
- said cylindrical passage having a first end at said tapered end portion;
- and
- said tapered end portion having a frusto-conical external surface which converges towards said first end of said cylindrical passage;
- a slot formed in and extending longitudinally of said tapered end portion;
- an elongate cutter in said slot;
- said elongate cutter having, at one end thereof, a cutter blade extending transversely of said elongate tuner and projecting radially inwardly of said tubular body;
- and
- a connection between said cutter and said tubular body allowing said cutter to move radially inwardly to within the confines of said slot, into an operative position, so as to cause said cutter blade to penetrate a sheath on the cable;
- said cutter having an outer longitudinal surface inclined inwardly of said tubular body along said tapered end portion towards said first end of said cylindrical passage to allow wedging of said cutter into said operative position on insertion of said end portion into a frusto-conical recess in a cable anchor.
