Abstract:
1. A wire stripper for peeling off a sheath of a wire, the wire stripper comprising; a main shaft; a rotating unit for rotating the main shaft; a cutting member comprising a lever that is disposed parallel to the main shaft and is hinged to the main shaft so as to rotate with respect to a hinge shaft perpendicular to the main shaft, a cutter that is combined to the lever in such a way that the cutter peels off the sheath of the wire collinearly disposed with the main shaft while the main shaft is rotated, and a weight combined to the lever so that a location opposite to where the cutter is located with respect to a rotating axis of the lever is heavier; and a housing comprising an inserting hole through which the wire is inserted and guided to the cutter of the cutting member, and accommodating the cutting member and at least a part of the main shaft; further comprising an elastic member that is disposed between the main shaft and the cutting member, and providing an elastic force to the cutting member so that the cutting member rotates in such a way that the cutter moves farther from a center axis line of the main shaft; wherein a plurality of the cutting members are prepared and the number of elastic members prepared is the same as the number of the plurality of cutting members; wherein the plurality of cutting members are disposed at regular angle intervals along a circumferential direction with respect to the main shaft; wherein the lever of the cutting member has an incline, a through hole penetrating a center of the main shaft in a length direction is formed in the main shaft, and the wire stripper further comprising a slide shaft, which is inserted into and installed in the through hole of the main shaft and comprises a diameter adjuster that limits a nearest distance of the cutter to the wire by contacting the incline of the lever according to a relative location to the main shaft.
