  • Detonating cord cutter
    Patent number: 6123001
    Abstract: A device for cutting a detonating cord having an explosive core is provided. The device includes a detonating cord holding member having a cord holding portion, such as an aperture or recess, configured to closely receive the detonating cord so that the detonating cord is held in place relative to the holding member. The cord holding member also has a side surface from which the detonating cord projects when the detonating cord is held in the cord holding portion prior to cutting. A blade arm is pivotally mounted to the cord holding member. The blade arm carries a sharpened blade and is pivotal between an open and closed position. The blade passes over the cord holding portion in close proximity to the side surface so that the detonating cord is cut by the blade as the blade is passed over the cord holding portion.
