US Patent:

45877327, May 13, 1986

Filed:

Nov 16, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/671400

Inventors:

Michael A. Lind - Salt Lake City UT
Michael R. Dunn - Sandy UT

Assignee:

New Draulics, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT

International Classification:

B23D 2110

US Classification:

30 92

Abstract:

A novel hydraulic tool used to cut cables, rods, bars and the like or crimp various items such as cable connectors and which is operated manually and with ease by a single man. The improved cable cutting hydraulic tool comprises dual manually held handles which centrally receive and exhaust the operating pressurized hyraulic fluid, a safety trigger assembly which prevents the inadvertent closing of the cutting or crimping jaws, and an operating trigger assembly, a control valve which directs and redirects the flow of hydraulic fluid under pressure, and a piston cylinder assembly which relatively reciprocates to displace operating rods which in turn causes the cutting jaws to close and open by rotation about a pivot pin. This cable cutting and crimping tool is light weight and compact in comparison with other contemporary designs and is much easier to handle and control during use.
