  • Cable cutter
    Patent number: 4043238
    Abstract: A cutting implement having a plate with a curved, sharpened edge which is rotated to traverse the location of a work piece. The plate is shaped so that the rate of advance of the sharpened edge through the location decreases as the angle of rotation increases, thereby compensating for the gradual reduction in the mechanical advantage, and producing a nearly constant power requirement.
