Abstract
For use in apparatus for processing wire to cut the wire into sections and to expose section wire ends, the wire having an inner core and sheathing about the core, the apparatus including structure for displacing the wire axially endwise, comprising multiple blade structures, including at least two of the structures that mutually interfit as the two structures move relatively oppositely toward and away from the axis in directions generally normal to the axis; at least one of the two structures defining first shoulders elongated in the directions and forming a space between which the other of the two structures extends during the relative movement, each of the two structures having an associated concave cutting edge, the cutting edge or edges located between the first shoulders.
