First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cable armor stripper for producing a cut in an armored cable comprising:
- a body having a distal end;
a clamp shaped to retain an armored cable and coupled to the distal end of the body;
a blade mounted rotatably to the distal end of the body in juxtaposition with the clamp; and
a flexible handle pivotally mounted to the clamp and configured to displace the body with the blade and the clamp in response to an external compressive force to a cutting position of the blade, in which the blade penetrates the armored cable at a desired depth.

20. A kit comprising:
-
a cable armor stripper for producing a cut in an armored cable and configured to have a body having a longitudinal axis extending proximally from a distal end of the body, a blade mounted rotatably to the distal end of the body, and a flexible handle operatively connected to the body and configured to displace the blade in response to an external compressive force to a cutting position the blade, in which the blade penetrates the armored cable at a desired depth;
a first elongated clamp shaped to retain the armored cable and removably coupled to the distal end of the body so that a longitudinal axis of the first clamp extends perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body; and
a plurality of second elongated clamps each shaped to retain the armored cable and removably coupled to the distal end of the body so that a longitudinal axis of a respective elongated clamp extends a desired angle, which differs from a right angle, relative to the longitudinal axis of the body.
