  • Hand-held, cartridge-actuated cutter
    Patent number: 6754959
    Abstract: Cartridge-actuated cutter (10), held in a single hand, generally includes frame (20) and barrel assembly (40). Frame (20) includes grip (26), trigger (30) firing pin (28), and pivot mount (35). Barrel assembly (40) generally includes barrel (41), piston (70), and extractor (80). Barrel (41) includes anvil (52), cable receiving recess (55), breech bore (61) for receiving a cartridge, and longitudinal bore (64). Piston front end (74) includes chisel (75) and stop (76). Detonation of the cartridge drives piston (70) forward from a cocked position to cut a cable in recess (55) against anvil (52). Extractor (80) slides rearward to simultaneously eject a cartridge and cock piston (70). Stop (76) impacts anvil (52) simultaneously with chisel (75). Anvil (52) is repositionable so as to present different surfaces to chisel (75). Barrel (41) includes second pivoting mount (45) for repositioning recess (55) relative to frame (20).
