Abstract: A tool for stripping the insulation from electrical conductors. A clamping device is provided to clamp the conductor, two blades are supported by a carriage movable relative to the clamping device, and a motor-driven control system is used to transfer both the clamping device and the blades from a position in which the conductor is released to a working position in which the conductor is clamped. The blades cut into the insulation with the carriage moved so that the cut insulation is stripped by the blades in the working position, and then the clamping device and the blades are returned into the position in which the conductor is released after stripping the insulation.

Abstract: A device for crimping conductors into the contact members of a contact strip. According to the invention there is provided a motor driven means for two crimping jaws movable relative to each other, and feeding means for stepwise advancing the contact strip in increments corresponding to the distance between the contacts to feed one contact to the crimping jaws in each operational cycle. An actuating device, which can be controllably manipulated by the operator, actuates the feeding means advancing the contact strip and, in a second position, effects the crimping operation and the return of the feeding means to the initial position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for crimping and shearing contacts of a contact strip, the device comprising a stationary crimping jaw serving as supporting means for the contact to be crimped, a second crimping jaw movable relative to the first crimping jaw, and a shearing device for shearing off the junction between the contact located on the stationary crimping jaw and the carrier strip interconnecting the contacts. The shearing device is in the form of a leaf spring adapted to fit flat on the contact strip in a position flush with the point of shearing, and cooperating with the fixed crimping jaw to effect the shearing action. The contact resting on the stationary crimping jaw is supported by the crimping jaw, and the leaf spring projects laterally beyond the crimping jaw and is adapted to be moved through a shearing stroke relative to the fixed jaw by means of a thrust member on the movable jaw.
