  • Patent number: 9236208
    Abstract: A cutter including a blade member (30) having an edge portion (31) for cutting a current-carrying member (12) and an insulating portion (32); a gas generator (35) that generates high-pressure gas to move the blade member (30) toward the current-carrying member (12); a receiving member (25) arranged on a side opposite to the edge portion (31) relative to the current-carrying member (12) and defining a receiving surface (25b) for receiving the current-carrying member (12) upon cutting thereof; a stopper (23) configured to restrict forward movement of the blade member (30) such that the insulating portion (32) of the blade member (30) stops, after cutting of the current-carrying member (12), at a position corresponding to a cut surface of the current-carrying member (12); and an insulating protective member (15) positioned between at least one of the blade member (30) or the receiving member (25) and the current-carrying member (12) and configured to protect a surface of the current-carrying member (12) facing t

  • Publication number: 20140326122
    Abstract: A cutter prevents movement of a harness being cut. The cutter includes: a first cylindrical member and a second cylindrical member whose axial ends face each other, with a predetermined distance therebetween, and sandwich the harness in the axial direction; and a blade accommodated in the first cylindrical member to be slidable in the axial direction and including a cutting portion on a front side and a pusher on a back side. The first cylindrical member includes a back side tapered portion and a front side tapered portion at which an inner diameter of the first cylindrical member on an inner surface where the pusher slides is gradually reduced from a back side to a front side.

  • Patent number: 8653386
    Abstract: A blade (11), which includes a cutting portion (21) and an insulating portion (22), is used as a blade (11) of a cutting apparatus (10). The cutting portion (21) is made of a metal, and has a blade portion. The insulating portion (22) is formed by an insulating member, and forms a part that adjoins the blade portion in a direction opposite to an advance direction of the blade (11). The cutting apparatus (10) is configured so that, when cutting a current-carrying member (15), the blade (11) advances until the insulating portion (22) contacts cut faces of the current-carrying member (15) after the cutting portion (21) cuts the current-carrying member (15).

  • Publication number: 20130255464
    Abstract: A cutter includes a blade member configured to cut a current-carrying member by an edge portion, a gas generator configured to move the blade member toward the current-carrying member, a receiving member arranged on a side opposite to the blade member relative to the current-carrying member and defining a receiving surface for receiving the current-carrying member upon cutting thereof, and a stopper configured to restrict forward movement of the blade member such that the blade member stops at a predetermined position. An insulating protective film softer than the current-carrying member is formed on a surface of the edge portion, inner surfaces of guide portions formed in a front end portion of the blade member, and the receiving surface of the receiving member.

  • Patent number: 8522539
    Abstract: Disclosed is a gas pressure actuator whose actuator body has a cylinder, a piston and a gas generator in which a powder is loaded, and the gas generator is positioned at an end portion of the cylinder. The gas generator injects a high pressure gas into the cylinder by the combustion of the powder, thereby moving the piston. The actuator body is provided with a coating which covers the entire actuator body from outside. The coating is a resin coating having electrically insulating, waterproof, and dustproof characteristics.
