Figure 1 is aside elevation of my improved bolt and rivet-trimmer. I v I Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same in the plane of the line a; z, fig. 1.

"Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawing.

My invention has for its object to provide an improved device for cutting ortrimming bolts and rivets.

and, to this end,

It consists'in the combination of parts, as will'be hereinafter more fully described.

.In the accompanying drawing- A is-the jaw and handle, carrying the cutters, provided,npon one side, with the lateral arm B, to which the operating-leveror handle, 0, is pivoted.
