Abstract
Abstract A combination wire stripper and plier device comprising a pair of handle members having cutting plates mounted at the upper ends thereof. When the handles are in a closed position, the cutting plates mesh together and form a plurality of substantially circular knives, each being suitable for cutting and stripping insulation from a predetermined size of electrical wire.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
In a combination plier and wire stripper device including a plier section, a wire stripper section, a pair of handle members associated with said sections, said handle members having a closed position and an open position, and said wire stripper section comprising: a first cutting plate associated with one handle member and a second cutting plate associated with the other handle member, each of said cutting plates including a plurality of concave teeth, a peak positioned adjacent one of the concave teeth; a valley positioned adjacent one of the concave teeth of the other of the cutting plates, said peak being received in said valley when the handle members are in the closed position for aligning the concave teeth of one plate with the concave teeth of the other plate and thereby forming a plurality of substantially circular cutting knives.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
In a combination plier and wire stripper device including a plier section, a wire stripper section, a pair of handle members associated with said sections, said handle members having a closed position and an open position, and said wire stripper section comprising: a first cutting plate associated with one handle member and a second cutting plate associated with the other handle member, each of said cutting plates including a plurality of concave teeth, a peak positioned adjacent one of the concave teeth; a valley positioned adjacent one of the concave teeth of the other of the cutting plates, said peak being received in said valley when the handle members are in the closed position for aligning the concave teeth of one plate with the concave teeth of the other plate and thereby forming a plurality of substantially circular cutting knives.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device of claim 1 includes: securing means for removably securing the cutting plate with the corresponding handle member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The device of claim 1 includes: a support plate positioned between each cutting plate and a corresponding handle member, securing means for removably securing the cutting plate and corresponding support plate and handle mEmber together.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The device of claim 3 wherein said support plate includes a depression to receive said cutting plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
67 words
The device of claim 4 wherein said depression is defined by sidewalls and a bottom, said cutting plates and said support plates each including at least one aperture and with said handle member each including at least one threaded hole; said securing means comprising a screw member for passing through said aperture of the cutting plate and corresponding support plate to threadly associate in said threaded hole.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
103 words
The device of claim 4 includes: a plier section comprising a ; first elongated jaw and a second elongated jaw; and a pivot means disposed between the plier section and wire stripper section, said first jaw being connected to one of said handle members and said second jaw being connected to the other handle member, said first jaw and said one handle member pivoting around said pivot means in one direction and said second jaw and the other handle member pivoting around said pivot means in the opposite direction when manually moving the handle member from the closed position to an open position.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
69 words
The device of claim 6 wherein one of said jaws comprises a substantially circular cross-sectional area increasing progressively in size from the outer tip to the lower end of said one jaw, the other of said jaws having a substantially semi-circular cross-sectional area increasing progressively in size from the outer tip to the lower portion of said other jaw, the inner surface of said other jaw being substantially planar.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
135 words
A wire stripper device including a wire stripper section and a pair of handle members associated with said sections, said handle members having a closed position and an open position, said wire stripper section comprising: a first cutting plate associated with one handle member and a second cutting plate associated with the other handle member, each of said cutting plates including a plurality of concave teeth, said concave teeth forming a plurality of substantially circular cutting knives when the handle members are in said closed position; a peak positioned adjacent one of the concave teeth; a valley positioned adjacent one of the concave teeth of the other of the cutting plates, when the handle members are closed, said peak, valley and cutting knives lying on substantially the same plane when the handle members are closed.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
135 words
A wire stripper device including a wire stripper section and a pair of handle members associated with said sections, said handle members having a closed position and an open position, said wire stripper section comprising: a first cutting plate associated with one handle member and a second cutting plate associated with the other handle member, each of said cutting plates including a plurality of concave teeth, said concave teeth forming a plurality of substantially circular cutting knives when the handle members are in said closed position; a peak positioned adjacent one of the concave teeth; a valley positioned adjacent one of the concave teeth of the other of the cutting plates, when the handle members are closed, said peak, valley and cutting knives lying on substantially the same plane when the handle members are closed.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
35 words
The device of claim 8 includes: a support plate positioned between each cutting plate and a corresponding handle member, securing means for removably securing the cutting plate and corresponding support plate and handle member together.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
91 words
The device of claim 9 wherein said support plate includes a depression to receive said cutting plate, said depression being defined by sidewalls and a bottom, said cutting plates and said support plates each including at least one aperture and with said handle members each including at least one threaded hole; and securing means comprising a screw member for passing through said apertures of the cutting plate and corresponding support plate to threadly associate in said threaded hole and thereby removably securing the cutting and support plates to the corresponding handle.
