Abstract:
A combined clamping and cutting tool (1) primarily intended for manually cutting plastic pipes, said tool comprising:a clamping portion (2) and a cutting portion (3), said cutting portion (3) including a pair of elongated members mounted to each other between the respective ends thereon for pivotal movement relative to each other about a first pivotal axis (7), each elongated member having a handle section (9,9â€²) and a cutting section (11,11â€²) respectively extending outwardly of said first pivotal axis (7) in substantially opposite directions, each cutting section having a main body (13,13â€²) with at least one cutting wheel (15,15â€²) mounted thereto for rotation relative to said main body about a rotational axis (17,17â€²) substantially parallel to said first pivotal axis, said cutting sections and the cutting wheels thereof facing one another in an open position to receive a pipe therebetween wherein movement of the two handle sections (9,9â€²) toward one another about said first pivotal axis (7) moves said cutting sections (11,11â€²) and the cutting wheels (15,15â€²) thereof toward one another about said first pivotal axis (7), and said clamping portion (2) including at least three members, said first (4) and second (6) members being mounted to each other for pivotal movement relative to each other about a second pivotal axis (10), said second pivotal axis (10) being substantially parallel to said first pivotal axis (7) of said cutting portion, said first member (4) of said clamping portion having a handle section (12) and a clamping section (14) respectively extending outwardly of said second pivotal axis (10) in substantially opposite directions, said second member (6) having a clamping section (14â€²), said third member (8) of said clamping portion having a handle section (12â€²) mounted to said second member (6) of said clamping portion for pivotal movement about a third pivotal axis (16), said third pivotal axis (16) being substantially parallel to said first (7) and second (10) pivotal axes wherein each of said clamping sections (14,14â€²) includes two legs (20,20â€² and 22,22â€²) spaced apart from each other to respectively receive at least one of said cutting sections (11,11â€²) of said cutting portion therebetween.
