CABLE CUTTER I Filed April 4, 1928 l/V VE/V 70E wewormv asrnnmrrr v HIS nv-roplvsgg ,Patented July 1, 1930 UNITED STATES WENDELIN D. STARBETT, F ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA. i
CABLE ou'r'rnn' Application filed April 4,
My invention relates to a cable cutting device, and the broad object of my invention is the provision of a cable cutter with means for cutting a cable smoothly.
Another object of my invention is the provision of a cable cutter of the character described with spaced cable supporting means; so that a cutting blade is adapted to cut the cable by moving in the supporting means through the space provided.
Another object of my invention is the provision of a cable cutter of the character described, with a blade and supporting means adapted to encircle the cable while being out.
A further object of my invention is the provision of a housing for a cutter of the character described, and having an opening in a side thereof for the insertion of the cable at any point between its ends.
My invention possesses other objects and valuable features, some of which will be set forth in the following description of my invention which is illustrated in the drawings forming part of the specification. It is to be understood that I do not limit myself to, the showing made by the said description and drawings, as I may adopt varyingforms of my invention within the scope of the claims.
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side vertical sectional view of the cable cutter of my invention. The plunger and cutting blade are shown in elevation to more clearly disclose the construction.
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the cutter, partly in section.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken in a plane indicated by the line of Fig. 1.
1 Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of the blade 4 and cable supporting means.
Fig. 5 is a front elevational View of the structure illustrated in Fig. 4.
Broadly my invention comprises a housing open at both ends and a side; so that a cable 45 can be inserted into the housing at any point between its ends. In the base of the housing are mounted two spaced cable supporting means, preferably dies, and a cutting blade is movably mounted in the housing and support- 50 ing means to pass through the space between 1928. Serial No. 267,347.
the supporting means, and thereby shear the cable upon beingstruck.
In terms of greater detail, the cable cutter of my invention comprises a housing 2 open at both ends and a side, thus providing a pas sag'e for the sidewise insertion of a cable. The base 3 of the housing has an elongated recess 4 for receiving the cable, and transversely of the recess are a pair of closely spaced grooves 6 and 7 for seating, in spaced relationship, the cable supporting and metal dies 8 and 9 respectively. The dies are notched in the edges so that a cable can be partially encircled thereby. Base 3 is also provided with an aperture 11 which is a continuation of the space between the dies; so that sheared strands of a cable being out can pass therethrough.
Means are provided for movably mounting a cutting blade in the housing. An aperture is provi ed in the top 12 of the housing, for slideably holding plunger 13 having a head 14. The bottom of the plunger is recessed, and seated in the recess is acutting blade 16 which is fixed to the plunger by means of a pin 17. Both ends of the pin project beyond the plunger and ride in grooves 18 and 19, thus holding the blade in alinement with the space between the dies 8 and 9. Preferably the blade is a thin flat sheet of metal provided with a substantially V shaped cutting edge, having a substantially V shaped notch therein; so that when the cable is being cut, the blade and dies cooperate to completely encircle the cable. o
For reinforcing the housing, the closed side thereof is provided with a strengthening rib 21., which also provides a convenient handle for the housing. On the rib is an aperture 22, upog which the device can be hung if so des1re In cutting a cable, it is preferred to wrap the cable, at the point to be cut, with a wrapper 23, of the character described in my copending application, Serial No. 200,003, filed June 20, 1927. This prevents the spreading of strands and aids in obtaining a clean out After the cable is placed in position, the blade is struck heavy blows upon the head 14 of the plunger, thus shearing the cable when the blade passes between the supporting dies. It

5. A cable cutter comprising a housing open at both ends and a side, spaced dies foring a base, spaced dies seated in the base for supportinga cable in cuttin position, said base having an aperture whi is a continuation of the space between the dies, and a blade movably mounted in the housing to pass be tween the dies-and cut the cable.
7. A cable cutter comprising a housing 7 open at both ends and a side for the sidewise insertion of a cable, spaced dies having notched edges for supporting a cable in cutting position'in the housing, and a blade having a notched cutting edge and movably mounted in the housing to pass between the dies and cut the cable.
8. A cable cutter comprising a housing open at both ends and a side for the sidewise insertion of a cable, spaced dies having notched edges for supporting a cable in cutting position in the housing, and a blade having a notched substantially V-shaped cutting edge and movably mounted in the housing to pass between the dies and cut the cable.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
