ABSTRACT:
A cutting device for cutting the shield of an armored cable has three mutually hinged members. One member is interposed between the other two and has a channel opening on one side for receiving the shielded cable therein. The second member is pivotable at one end of the first member and has a rotatable, circular cutter. The upper wall of the channel includes an axial slot to provide an access opening for the circular cutter. The upper wall of the channel member is generally in wedge shape construction for engagement with the upper surface of the shielded cable. The third member is pivotable to the one member at the same end as the second member and includes at its outer end a cable holding plate which extends upwardly from the outer end of the third member. A slot disposed in the lower wall portion of the channel member provides access for movement of the cable holding plate therethrough. The cable holding plate is disposed at an oblique angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the channel and has a wedge-shaped, upper edge configuration which is disposed in opposing relation to the wedge configuration of the upper wall of the channel. The oblique angle corresponds approximately to the helix angle of the convolutions of the armored cable.
