Abstract
In a cable cutter (10) for cutting cables, leads, pipes and the like, two intersecting levers (14, 16) are articulated by a common first pivot joint (12). One of the levers (14, 16) consists of two parts, a front lever section (26) forming a cutting jaw (22, 24) and a rear lever section (28) forming a handle (20). These lever sections (26, 28) are articulated by a second pivot joint (30) and are interlockable in at least two distinct angular positions (32, 34). A limit by way of a glide means (38) is guided in a recess (36) for engagement of an associated recess each (40, 42) in the distinct angular positions (32, 34) of the lever sections (26, 28). There, the glide means (38) is automatically lockable, being preferably a spring-loaded pin supported on the front lever section (26) for movement in a longitudinal direction, either parallel or at a right angle to the axes of rotation (A1, A2) of the pivots joints (12, 30). The pin side facing the rear lever section (28) may be widened or broadened. In the rear lever section (28) concentrical to the second pivot joint (30), the guide recess (36) is an oblong hole (46) least the ends of which include engaging recesses (40, 42), e.g. bli…
