DESCRIPTION AND CLAIM FOR THE "EZ-V" WATCH HAND TRIMMER Pliers
The "EZ-V" WATCH HAND TRIMMER was invented for the purpose of easily trimming watch hands.
The plier style "V" cutter, see attached Fig. B, cuts a precise "V" point into the ends of most watch hands, see attached Fig. A, eliminating the uneven points that require repeated time- consuming trimming.
With the "EZ-V" WATCH HAND TRIMMER Pliers, a factory fresh look to all watch hand repairs can be easily obtained.
One simple cut is all that is needed when the "EZ-V WATCH HAND TRIMMER" is used.
See attached diagrams. Figs. A and B.
PLIERS Leonard P. Belmonte, Hillside, Illinois
[A. Point watch hand cutter and trimmer pliers.] [B. No applications to cut a "V" point (male)] [C. None] [D.] This invention relates to pliers.
(1.) Especially designed for cutting and trimming a "V" point on watch and clock hands.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Pliers for cutting a "V" point on watch hands is disclosed in U.S. Patent Serial No. 07/273,574, filed on November 18, 1988, the only trimming pliers for cutting a "V" point (male point) on watch hands. No other "V" cutting pliers cuts a factory fresh point on watch hands.
[SUMMARY] SPECIFICATION OF INVENTION Objective of EZ-V Watch Hand Cutter and Trimmer pliers is to enable watch repair personnel engaging in retrofitting watch movements to achieve a male V point on watch hands to be trimmed or adjusted. With this EZ-V trimmer and built-in guide a precision point can be made on watch hands in seconds. The trimming pliers works with a punch cutting action. On side of the pliers has a raised V cutting platform edge (male) . The opposite half of the matching EZ-V cutting plier jaw is V cut female to cut most hands when inserted into the pliers and lined up with the guide, giving a factory fresh V point on the watch hands.

Specification
The described guide incorporates a V-shaped adjustable springloaded sliding table 11. The sliding table 11 also includes a threaded post 12 which incorporates a locking nut 13 for stationarily positioning the sliding table 11 to provide multiple cuts of the same length.
