Publication number: 20050044715Abstract: A scissors-type fiber optic cable stripping tool includes a pair of operating members pivotally connected intermediate their ends, thereby to define stripping portions and handle portions on opposite sides of a pivot pin. The adjacent surfaces of the stripping portions are provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced V-shaped recesses that cooperate when the operating members are pivoted to the closed position to define stripping openings that progress in size in the direction away from the pivot pin. Spring means bias the operating members toward an open condition, and locking means serve to lock the operating members in the closed condition for transport of the tool. The stripping openings of progressively increasing size have machined surfaces that define knife edges are adapted to sever the outer concentric insulation layers of various sizes and types of fiber optic cables, including the outer jacket of a 2.0 mm to 2.4 mm optic fiber cable, the outer jacket of a 2.8 to 3.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2003Publication date: March 3, 2005Applicant: Connectool Inc.Inventors: Leslie Shutts, Yin Cheng, Huang Sei

Patent number: 6138346Abstract: A portable hand-held battery-powered crimping tool includes a gear housing containing a through bore receiving a driven gear having a crank arm that is connected by a drive link with the common pivot axis of a toggle device that pivots a pair of crimping jaws from an open released position toward a crimping position. The gear is driven by a reversible direct-current motor that is supported on the hand-held handle together with a battery pack. A releasable overrunning clutch is operated by a push button on the handle to disengage the motor drive from the drive link, whereupon the crimping jaws are pivoted toward the open released position by a biasing spring.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1998Date of Patent: October 31, 2000Assignee: connectool Inc.Inventors: Leslie B.
