Stripped Wire Insulation Retainer

摘要

An attachment for a wire stripper is disclosed. The attachment is securable to a wire stripper and provides a compartment for retaining stripped insulation. The insulation retainer is specifically designed to attach to a particular type/style of wire stripper, but could essentially be designed and configured to fit or adapt on nearly any type of wire stripper, The insulation retainer is temporally retained on the wire stripper with a fastener, clip, magnet or other fastening means where the insulation retainer is installed, removed, and moved as desired. The chamber is configured to allow unstripped wire to be easily placed into the chamber and still retain stripped wire with minimal or no risk of the stripped insulation from falling out of the retaining compartment. When the insulation is stored all of the pieces can be collectively discharged in the trash or in a recycling container.
