Abstract: A position adjusting device for adjusting the position of an adjustable member with respect to a housing to which the adjustable member is mounted. The adjustable member is formed with two conical sockets having axes parallel to each other and spaced from each other in the direction of adjustment of the adjustable member. The housing threadedly receives two pins eccentrically disposed with respect to the sockets, such that threading one pin inwardly of its socket and the other pin outwardly of its socket moves the adjustable member in one direction, and threading the one pin outwardly of its socket and the other pin inwardly of its socket moves the adjustable member in the opposite direction.

Abstract: Apparatus for stripping the insulation from the end of an electrical conductor, comprises a pair of clamping jaws for clamping the electrical conductor therebetween; a pair of cutting blades mounted to one side of the clamping jaws for cutting the insulation while the conductor is clamped by the clamping jaws; a drive for driving the clamping jaws and cutting blades; and displacing means driven by the drive for effecting relative movement between the clamping jaws and cutting blades in order to strip the cut insulation from the ends of the conductor. The pair of cutting blades are carried by a support pivotably mounted with respect to the clamping jaws. The displacing means pivots the cutting blades support away from the clamping jaws to strip the cut insulation from the end of the conductor.
