Elektrische Anschlussdose und Schneidvorrichtung für einen Draht, der zur Herstellung von internen Stromkreisen in einer elektrischen Anschlussdose verwendet wird

摘要

To cut a continuous strand of wire directly laid on an electrical connection box for each circuit and to facilitate removal of cut unnecessary portions. A continuous strand of wire W used to form internal circuits of an electrical connection box is laid in a wire laying groove or between pairs of guide projections formed in or on an upper casing, a lower casing and/or an insulation plate 11, and is cut in desired positions to form circuits. The wire is laid along a wire laying plane at the bottom face of the wire laying groove or between the guide projections. A recess lowered from the wire laying plane is formed in a position corresponding to a scrap wire portion to be cut off. The recess is widened to have such a width as to allow insertion of cutter members therein. The wire is cut by a cutting device 10. Pairs of first and second cutting blades located at opposite sides of the wire are moved toward the wire so that one and the other ends of the scrap wire portion are cut by the first cutting blades and by the second cutting blades, respectively.
