Wire stripping arrangement.

摘要

A recoverable arrangement (2) for stripping insulation from an elongate conductor comprises two stripping members (10,12) each of which has a cut out portion. The cut out portions are arranged to overlap so as to form an aperture (21) to receive the insulated conductor. The arrangement is recoverable such that the stripping members (10,12) move both laterally of the conductor, to pierce the insulation, and longitudinally of the conductor, to strip the insulation. Preferably the stripping members or a further member (6) in association with the stripping members comprise a heat-recoverable metal which recovers to move the stripping members relative to the conductor.
