ABSTRACT:
A plier-type wire cutting tool providing a shear cut of wire such as is used by orthodontists. This wire is used with appliances mounted in the mouth of a patient. This plier is a box-type tool with pivotally connected jaw and handle portions with one jaw having a leaf spring secured to said jaw. This leaf spring is bent at right angles with the short leg of the leaf spring mounted in a slot in the jaw. The other leg of the leaf spring is disposed so as to be movable in a relief formed in this jaw and with this extending leaf portion engaging and retaining said wire that is between the shelf of the opposing jaw and the leaf spring. The cutting edges of the tool are moved toward, to and past each other to cut a wire therebetween with the severed end gripped by the leaf spring and shelf until the jaw ends are moved apart. The shelf and extending leaf portion may be as much as fifty thousandths of an inch apart so that initial engagement of the wire is assured from fifty thousandths of an inch to as little as ten thousandths of an inch and no bending of the wire occurs.
