Abstract: A device for stripping an outer protective material from a transmission-carrier, the device including hand-held grip members that are pivotally mounted at one end thereof, the other ends of the grip members being movable relative to each other to and from a closed stripping position, a guide member being located at the pivot end of the grip members and receiving therein the lead-in portion of the transmission carrier from which the protective material is to be stripped. Blade members are located adjacent to the guide member and are engageable by the grip members for movement by the grip members into engaging relation with the protective material during a stripping operation, wherein the blade members penetrate into the protective material.

Abstract: A method of forming blade members for use in a wire stripping device characterized by moulding a plurality of pairs of body portions on an elongated strip of thin blade material, cutting each pair of the body portions from the strip and then breaking the pairs of body portions along a common line thereof to define the individual blade members.

Abstract: A device for stripping insulation from the end of electrical wiring is disclosed and includes hand-held, elongated strip members that are pivotally movable to and from a wire stripping position, a tubular member extending between the grip members and guiding the wire to be stripped therethrough toward opposed blade members. The opposed blade members are removably secured in a block in which the grip members are also pivotally mounted, the blade members engaging the grip members so that upon pivotal movement of the grip members the blade members are moved in a corresponding lateral motion to sever the insulation of the wire that has been inserted into the tubular member and between the blade members. An adjustable stop and spring member engages the grip members for normally urging the grip members to an open position and further providing a stop for selective location of the wire to be stripped, thereby precisely determining the length of insulation to be stripped from the wire.

Abstract: A device for stripping insulation from the end of electrical wiring comprising hand-held elongated grip members that are interconnected in pivotal relation at an end thereof, a tubular member extending between the grip member and guiding the wire to be stripped therethrough toward opposed blade assemblies. The opposed blade assemblies are removably secured to the grip members for movement therewith to a closed position, the blade assemblies including opposed flat blade elements that cooperate to strip the insulation from the wire that is directed therebetween from the tubular element.
