Abstract: A wire stripper that can be utilized to rapidly strip insulation from a number of wires simultaneously and can be used simultaneously on a variety of different gauge wires. A stripping block has a plurality of wire apertures of varying diameters. Cooperating and continuous with the apertures are a plurality of blade receiving slots. A blade is positioned into at least one of the slots so that its cutting edge enters into an aperture. A compress bar is tightened down onto the blade to exert compress pressure. Wire is inserted into the wire aperture with the appropriate diameter for the selected gauge of wire. The compress bar is tightened using wing nuts so that enough pressure is exerted onto the blade to slit the insulation of the wire.
Abstract: An attachment device for attaching office products or equipment to a panel wall that includes generally two elements: a locking member and at least one, and generally two, prong members. The locking member includes a base. Extended outward from the front face of the base is a key member for interaction with a keyhole on an office supply product. The key includes a stem portion and a knob portion and the stem portion is truncated so that the vertical dimension is smaller than the horizontal dimension. The key is inserted into the circular opening of a keyhole on an office supply product, is slid up into the slot portion of the keyhole and is then rotated 90° thereby locking the attachment device to the office product. The pins can be inserted into a panel wall thereby removeably attaching the office supply product to the panel wall.
