Compound Coaxial Cable Stripping Tool
View pageUS Patent:
6467171, Oct 22, 2002
Filed:
Mar 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/802831
Inventors:
Andrew J. Tarpill - East Haddam CT
Assignee:
Capewell Components Company, LLC - Cromwell CT
International Classification:
H02G 112
US Classification:
30 902, 30 901, 30 912, 81 94
Abstract:
A tool for removing insulation from coaxial cable includes a fixed double-edged cutting blade mounted on the tool body and a planar cutting blade that is mounted on a cassette to move perpendicular to the axis of the cable between a cutting position and a non-cutting position. The double-edged cutting blade includes a transverse cutting edge and a longitudinal cutting edge, the transverse cutting edge lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to an axis of the cable and the longitudinal cutting edge lying in a plane substantially parallel to the axis of the cable. The planar cutting blade has a cutting edge lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cable. The blades may be mounted on the same end of the tool, requiring that the coaxial cable be inserted only once into the tool, or on opposite ends of the tool.
Cable Stripping Tool

6581291, Jun 24, 2003
Filed:
Oct 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/974012
Inventors:
Andrew J. Tarpill - East Haddam CT
Tadeusz Zagula - West Hartford CT
Tadeusz Zagula - West Hartford CT
Assignee:
Capewell Components Company, LLC - Cromwell CT
International Classification:
B21F 1300
US Classification:
30 904, 30 901, 30 909
Abstract:
An adjustable cable slitting tool for longitudinally slitting optical fiber buffer tubes and other precision cables includes a T-shaped body and a guide that slides relative to the body to hold and guide the cable to be slit in a guide channel. A slitting blade is mounted on a blade carriage that can be precisely adjusted with an adjustment screw to control the depth the slitting blade projects into the guide channel. A scale and indicator marks allow the desired depth of cut to be adjusted with precision by comparing indicator marks on the adjustment screw with the scale and other indicator marks on the tool body. The adjustment screw has a tapered portion that drives the blade carriage through a single contact point via a ball bearing. A deformable pad material in contact with a threaded portion of the adjustment screw acts as both a friction adjustment and part of the backlash prevention mechanism. The backlash prevention mechanism includes several elements that cooperate to substantially completely eliminate objectionable backlash.
Compression Assembly Tool With Multiple Split Bases
View pageUS Patent:
6820326, Nov 23, 2004
Filed:
Oct 5, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/264827
Inventors:
Andrew J. Tarpill - East Haddam CT
Tadeusz Zagula - Hartford CT
Tadeusz Zagula - Hartford CT
Assignee:
Capewell Components Company, LLC - Cronwell CT
International Classification:
H01R 43042
US Classification:
29751, 29750, 29753, 29758, 29761, 7240914, 724091, 81313, 7107
Abstract:
A compression assembly tool having multiple split bases for attaching connectors of different sizes to corresponding coaxial cables of different dimensions by compressing the connectors axially. The tool uses a light rigid O-frame and at least two pairs of split base supports located at different distances from a compression plunger driven by a lever handle. The handle is spring-loaded to the open position, but is held in the closed position by a wire bail for storage. The pairs of split base supports have annular bearing surfaces of different diameters that support the back of different connectors over a full 360 degrees. The split base supports are pivotally attached to the body, are held closed by a spring and are easily opened by squeezing push surfaces located on the split base supports towards each other to pivot the split base supports to the open position. The split base supports have stops to bring them positively into correct alignment with the axis of compression when the split base supports are released and return to the closed position.

Assignee:
Capewell Components, LLC - Cromwell CT
International Classification:
B21D 1/02
US Classification:
72112, 72116, 72477, 724811
Abstract:
A flaring tool for flaring the outer conductors of two different sizes of coaxial cable includes a dome-shaped body and a reversible tool head. The tool head has first and second shafts and first and second flaring heads on opposite sides. Reversing the tool head exposes the shaft and flaring head for the corresponding size coaxial cable. The shafts match the inner diameter of the inner conductor of the coaxial cable to be flared. The flaring heads are shaped as half cones, which allow the outer conductor to be flared without deforming the insulation between the inner and outer conductors of the coaxial cable.
Reduced Actuation Force Compression Assembly Tool
View pageUS Patent:
7210327, May 1, 2007
Filed:
Dec 8, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/007822
Inventors:
Andrew J Tarpill - East Haddam CT, US
Tadeusz Zagula - Hartford CT, US
Tadeusz Zagula - Hartford CT, US
Assignee:
Capewell Components Company, LLC - Cromwell CT
International Classification:
H01R 43/042
US Classification:
7240912, 29751, 81363
Abstract:
A compression assembly hand tool for attaching a connector to a cable by axially compressing the connector has a reduced actuation force to operate the tool. Increased leverage is achieved through the use of a long swing arm link having one end connected via a first pivot directly to the tool body and the other end connected via a second pivot to a handle. The handle is connected to drive a plunger via a third pivot.
