Cutting tool having wire bending structure

Abstract

A cutting tool includes two handles coupled to two cutter blades for forcing the cutter blades to cut the objects. Two or more poles are secured to the handles and extended outward beyond the handles for wire-bending purposes. One of the cutter blades includes a number of teeth and has a lever. A pawl is pivotally secured to one handle and biased to engage with the teeth. An actuator bar is pivotally secured to the other handle and has a post slidably received in the lever for selectively engaging with the lever to force the cutting edges to cut the object.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A cutting tool comprising: 
 a first cutter blade and a second cutter blade including a middle portion pivotally secured together with a link, and each including a first end having a cutting edge formed therein, and each including a second end,    a first handle and a second handle secured to said first and said second cutter blades for selectively forcing said first and said second cutter blades to cut an object, and    at least two poles secured to said first and said second handles and extended outward beyond said first and said second handles for wire-bending purposes.    
     
     
         2 . The cutting tool according to  claim 1 , wherein said first handle includes a first end having an arm provided thereon, said arm includes a free end secured to said first cutter blade and includes a middle portion pivotally secured to said second handle with a pivot shaft.  
     
     
         3 . The cutting tool according to  claim 2 , wherein said pivot shaft includes a first of said at least two poles secured thereon and extended outward beyond said arm of said first handle for wire-bending purposes.  
     
     
         4 . The cutting tool according to  claim 2 , wherein said second end of said second cutter blade includes a plurality of teeth formed thereon, said first handle includes a pawl pivotally secured therein and means for biasing said pawl to engage with said teeth of said second cutter blade, a lever including a first end pivotally secured to said second cutter blade and including a second end having a slot formed therein, said second handle includes an actuator bar pivotally secured thereto and includes a post secured to said actuator bar and slidably received in said slot of said lever for selectively engaging with said lever to force said cutting edges toward each other to cut the object when said second handle is forced toward said first handle, and includes means for biasing said actuator bar to engage with said pawl when said actuator bar and said lever have forced said cutting edges to cut the object.
