| 20090106971 | COMPRESSION ASSEMBLY TOOL WITH SLIDING CARRIAGE - A compression assembly hand tool for attaching a connector to a coaxial cable tool includes a sliding carriage driven by handles through multiple stages of mechanical advantage to provide a very high level of compression assembly force in order to compress large diameter connectors. The middle and the back of a connector are engaged between relatively closely spaced, parallel, and opposed compression surfaces on the front of the tool and on the sliding carriage. Adapter inserts that slide into openings in the compression surfaces allow different connector sizes to be compressed. the tool allows the cable to extend outward from either end so that splice connectors may be attached. In the preferred design, a ratcheting system using two pawls provides the very highest level of compression force. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090100681 | COAXIAL CABLE STRIPPING TOOL WITH ADJUSTABLE STRIP STOP - An adjustable coaxial cable stripping tool for preparing an end of a coaxial cable for attachment to a connector includes first and second mechanisms located at opposite ends of the tool. The first cutting mechanism uses a pair of jaws and a planar cutting blade mounted in a replaceable blade cartridge to cut through the outer conductor and inner insulation to the inner conductor. The second cutting mechanism uses a double edged cutting blade and an adjustable stop that contacts the cut made by the first cutting mechanism to control the distance that the outer insulation is removed beyond the first cut. A third cutter is optionally provided to form a bevel on the end of the inner conductor. | 04-23-2009 |
