HYDROSTATICALLY POWERED MESSENGER STYLE WIRE CUTTER

摘要

A hydrostatically actuated messenger type wire cutter for severing wire below the surface of a body of water consisting of a slide having an assembly for actuating a cutting tool to sever or weaken the wire at a preselected depth. A rupture disk collapses at the preselected depth, permitting water pressure to react against a piston carrying the cutting edge.
