Abstract
An apparatus (11) for stripping cable (12) to remove a section of cable jacket (13) includes opposed stripping blades (15) each having a pair of adjacent blade sections (18) including semi-circular cutting edges (19) defined by grooves (20) operable to cut the jacket (13) peripherally with the adjacent blade sections (18) driven axially apart in a relative sense to pull the cut section of the jacket away from the cable. Pairs of guide and gripping members (16) having internesting teeth (23, 24) are positioned adjacent the blade sections (18) to grip the cable (12) and provide a support for the cable. A suction device (17) is displaced axially to receive the cut jacket section and remove such from the stripping site.
