CABLE-STRIPPING DEVICE, ESPECIALLY FOR CONDUCTORS WITH WITH TOUGH INSULATION MATERIAL

摘要

The stripping device comprises a pair of jaws of which each is provided with a cutting knife. For secure positioning of an inserted conductor, and in order to strip off a severed portion of its insulation layer, a resilient positioning element with a tapering recess is provided adjacent one cutting knife. The positioning element grasps and guides the conductor already when the cutting edge of the cutting knife begins to penetrate into the insulation layer, and yields thereupon resiliently without releasing the conductor. Said cutting edge is preferably provided with a semicircular recess which may be produced by a plurality of blanks fixed in a sloping position being worked by a metal removing tool having at the periphery the profile shape of said recess.
