Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A combination tool for stripping insulation from a cable and crimping a terminal to the cable, comprising a pair of substantially parallel parts connected together at one end by a member which is flexible to permit relative movement of said parts, a crimping anvil seated on a first one of said parts, a crimping punch which is guided relative to said anvil so as to cooperate with said anvil, a hand lever having a roller which is pivoted intermediate the ends of the lever and bears upon the crimping punch, a pin which has one end fixed in said first one of said parts and has its other end pivoted to one end of said hand lever, each of said parts having at its free end a cutting blade and a stripping blade, fixed in positions which are adjustable longitudinally of said parts, whereby sueezing together said hand lever and said first part actuates said punch and also actuates said cutting and stripping blades.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A combination tool for stripping insulation from a cable and crimping a terminal to the cable, comprising a pair of substantially parallel parts connected together at one end by a member which is flexible to permit relative movement of said parts, a crimping anvil seated on a first one of said parts, a crimping punch which is guided relative to said anvil so as to cooperate with said anvil, a hand lever having a roller which is pivoted intermediate the ends of the lever and bears upon the crimping punch, a pin which has one end fixed in said first one of said parts and has its other end pivoted to one end of said hand lever, each of said parts having at its free end a cutting blade and a stripping blade, fixed in positions which are adjustable longitudinally of said parts, whereby sueezing together said hand lever and said first part actuates said punch and also actuates said cutting and stripping blades.
