A separator disposing portion 15 is provided with a ball screw 22 and an arm 23. The arm 23 is a member which comes into contact with a holder 17 and a separator disk 18, thereby allowing them to move. The arm 23 is provided with a chuck portion 30 which is connected to a piston 29 and can be fitted to a chuck pedestal 27. The chuck portion 30 comes close to or moves away from an expansion/contraction shaft 16 in association with expansion and contraction of the piston 29. Further, the chuck portion 30 comes into contact with an outer circumference surface of the holder 17, a side surface of the holder 17 and a side surface of the separator disk 18 in association with movements of the piston 29 and a driving portion 26.

The present invention relates to a cutting device for use in cutting a collar which is mounted on a bolt in half, the cutting device comprising: a mouth (16) for receiving the portion of the collar (28) to be cut; a pair of jaws (17a, 17b) diametrically opposite one another and located within the mouth (16), each jaw (17a, 17b) being provided with a cutting blade (18), a driver (22) for moving at least one jaw (17a) relative to the other (17b) such that the collar (28) can be cut in half by the action of the jaws (17a, 17b) moving towards one another, and a guard (15) which, in use, prevents the cutting blade (18) from protruding beyond the mouth (16) and damaging a surface adjacent to the collar (28) to be cut in half.

An apparatus for improving the accuracy of machines which shear plate materials in general and sheet metals in particular. The apparatus comprises an indicator that is magnetically mounted to the shearing blade and extends downward toward the work table of the machine to give an indication of where the blade will pass through the metal.

A machine that applies both cutting and shearing action to casting-type metal debris and scrap (hereafter debris), and thus efficiently reduces both brittle and ductile metals to a useful size. The machine comprises a fixed anvil and a reciprocating jaw, the anvil defining an array of spaced anvil plates and the jaw defining a complementary array of spaced jaw V-shaped jaw bars whose upper and lower legs or lobes are alternately reciprocated in an arc into and out the anvil plate array.

The present disclosure proposes a tool for shear cutting, wherein the tool has a lower blade, a hold-down device and an upper blade, wherein the lower blade has a pressure-loaded surface and a cutting surface, wherein it is possible for a workpiece to be arranged between the hold-down device and the contact surface, wherein the upper blade is movable in relation to the lower blade along a cutting direction predetermined by the cutting surface, wherein a contour profile of the lower blade has a jagged elevation at the transition from the cutting surface to the pressure-loaded surface.

A variable rake shear comprises a housing (8), a first blade (1) mounted in a first blade mounting (4), a second blade (2) mounted in a second blade mounting (3); and a control device (5) to control movement of one blade mounting to shear the material. Each blade mounting is movable in at least one dimension relative to the housing. One blade is an active blade (1) and the other blade is a passive blade (2). A rake adjustment mechanism (6a, 6b) for at least one of the mountings (3, 4) and the mounting (4) for the active blade (1) has a torque tube linkage mechanism (10, 11, 12).

A machine configured to form at least one whip from a length of cable according to some embodiments of the disclosure includes an input and an output defining a cable travel space being therebetween; a clamping assembly including a pad, and a first driving assembly configured to move the pad into the cable travel space and out of the cable travel space; and a cutting assembly including a cutting tool having at least one cutting edge, and a second driving assembly configured to move the cutting tool into the cable travel space and out of the cable travel space. In some embodiments, the machine further includes a saw assembly including a notching saw having a cutting edge configured to intersect the cable travel space, and a third driving assembly configured to drive the notching saw.

A tooth shroud for a demolition tool is disclosed wherein forces produced during demolition operations may be dissipated so as to avoid excessive forces at stress points. A tooth block for a demolition tool comprises a first tooth shroud and a second tooth shroud. The first and second tooth shroud each comprising a body having a front wall and an end wall wherein a cavity is enclosed by the front wall and the end wall; an impact member extending longitudinally from the body; and a cut-out disposed on the end wall, wherein the first tooth shroud is connected to the second tooth shroud.

An underwater tool including a grabber arrangement and a cutter arrangement connected together. The grabber arrangement comprises a plurality of grabber elements disposed on first and second sides of the tool. The cutter arrangement includes a cutter slot, an anvil movable to close the slot comprises an anvil and a cutter blade. In use, a cable is held by the grabber arrangement, and thereby moved into the slot which is then closed by the anvil so as to entrap the cable within the slot. The cutter blade is then driven against the anvil so as to cut the cable.

A tool head includes a first frame having first and second arms extending from a base to a distal end. The tool head may also include a first blade in the frame between the first and second arms. The first blade is movable from the base toward the distal end. The tool head includes a second frame hingedly coupled to the first arm. The second frame may include a second blade. The second frame is configured to rotate between a closed-frame position and an open-frame position. The tool head includes a trip lever hingedly coupled to the first arm and configured to rotate between an open-lever position and a closed-lever position.
