Abstract (en)

The tool consists of two blade supports which turn about pivots (7) with spacers (8) and are equipped with cutting blades (11,12) on their inner edges. The supports are connected to levers which bring the edges of the blades together to cut through a metal object such as a bolt, and each support consists of two parallel members (4a,b,5a,b) with the spacers between them. Each of the cutting blades is made with shoulders on its side faces which form thrust surfaces to interact with the supports, to which they are fixed by pins (34) inserted through holes (35,36) in the supports and blades. The holes in the blades are offset slightly relative to those in the supports, so that the pins, which are elastic, are held under tension. The supports are cut from sheet metal and the blades are cut from a profile member.
