ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing a jacket from an underlying member such as a cable includes a tubular housing, a knife edge and a dial for positioning the blade. In an "open" position the blade is retracted from the housing to permit insertion of a cable into the housing. Rotation of the dial to a "CUT" position positions the blade on the cable, the blade substantially perpendicular to the cable, so that rotation of the remover circumferentially scores the cable jacket. Rotating the dial to a "strip" position angles the blade with respect to the cable so that rotation of the remover on the cable helically scores the cable jacket while the device tracks to the end and off the cable. The cable jacket is then removed by unwrapping the resultant helical strip of jacket from the cable end to the circumferential score line. The cable jacket remover is made of a plastic such as polyvinylchloride pipe to reduce a shock hazard and includes a scale for measuring the terminal length of cable to be stripped. A blade carrier restricts penetration of the knife edge into the cable jacket to avoid cutting through the cable jacket into underlying structure of the cable.
