Definitions

  • the invention relates to pliers according to the preamble of the protection claim 1.
  • Such pliers are already known from WO 95/23048.
  • This well-known Tongs contain a first work jaw and one with it firmly connected first pliers handle, one by means of a pivot axis pivotable on the first work jaw, the second work jaw, which forms a jaw with the first work jaw, a second Handle that can be swiveled towards one end of the pliers Section of the second work jaw is mounted, and a resilient connecting link, one end of which on the second pliers handle just behind the second work jaw is attached and the other end at the first Plier handle is attached.
  • the connecting link serves to improve the elasticity the pliers.
  • a spring member is arranged in a power transmission path so that the pliers give a gentle, soft feel.
  • the spring link can have, for example, V-shaped steel spring arms and between one Swivel axis of one of the work jaws and the other work jaw lie, which has an elongated hole for receiving the pivot axis.
  • the invention has for its object a pair of pliers of the aforementioned Art in such a way that with it better work results let achieve.
  • the solution to the problem is that the pivot axis one of the work jaws is attached and the other work jaw there is an elongated hole for receiving the swivel axis, its longitudinal direction in the plane of the pliers and at least approximately perpendicular to the Pliers longitudinal direction, and that a tension spring with one end the pivot axis and with its other end on the one having the elongated hole Work jaws is attached.
  • tension spring and springy connecting link According to the invention, it is possible to depend on the force curve in the forceps jaw the closing movement of the work jaws very fine to the desired one Adapt conditions, even in the event that different large objects in the jaws are to be processed, so that therefore have better work results. This is especially true if the pliers are crimping pliers with the for example ferrules or other contact elements on cable ends should be pressed on.
  • the force curve in the jaws in Dependency of the closing movement of the work jaws is set by that the respective spring characteristics of tension spring and connecting link can be combined with each other.
  • the tension spring and the connecting member be designed so that over a closing path of the work jaws limited by the length of the elongated hole the required jaw force through the tension spring and the connecting link is applied and an adjoining Closing path of the work jaws is provided solely by the connecting link becomes.

  • the connecting link can be designed in this way be that after a predetermined forceps limit force is exceeded gives way strongly. Damage, in particular, is thereby greater in the jaws of the parts to be machined when closing the Plier handles are avoided, and the possibility is created, one usually pawl cooperating with the pliers out of engagement with a row of teeth to be able to open the jaws.
  • the pivot axis is preferred attached to the second work jaw, the elongated hole in first working jaws. This allows the tension spring on the first and immovable work jaws so that they are in operation Pliers is not pivoted and therefore your characteristic curve is not distorted.
  • the tension spring itself can have any suitable shape, preferably but also, for example, as a V-shaped, U-shaped or ⁇ -shaped leaf spring be trained.
  • the desired characteristic can be obtained with springs of this type in a particularly simple manner by choosing the appropriate dimensions or set material thicknesses.

  • the central node element 27 consists in the present Case from a middle plate 41, which consists for example of plastic, as well as two outer ones lying on both sides of the middle plate 41 Plates 42 and 43, which are made of approximately steel. All plates 41, 42 and 43 form an approximately U-shaped component, the free leg point to the rear end of the pliers. On this component are in the area the base and the lower leg, the two jaw plates 25 and 26 attached laterally, the plates held together by the screw 28 become.
  • the bolts 29 serve as anti-rotation are held over circlips.
  • the jaw plates 25 and 26 protrude from the bottom of the U-shaped component and form together with the front sections of the sheets 8 and 9 the jaws 16.
  • both the jaw plates 25 and 26 In the rear area of the jaws 16 are both the jaw plates 25 and 26 as well as the sheets 8 and 9 beveled so that their opposite Remove edges towards the rear end of the pliers. Supported by the jaw plates 25, 26 or the plates 8 and 9 Machining elements in the jaws 16 can therefore accordingly tilt the closed position of the tongs around the respective tilt axes, passed through openings 44 and 45 of the work jaws 1 and 3 are and hold the processing elements in the jaws 16.
  • This pivot axis 30, as already mentioned, is received by the elongated holes 33, so that in this way the second work jaw 3 on the first work jaw 1 is pivotally mounted.
  • the free end of the lower leg of the U-shaped component in the central region of FIG. 2 forms the aforementioned one rear section 23 of the second work jaw 3 and is there provided with a through hole 46 through which the axis 24 passes, in this way the second handle 4 on the second work jaw 3 can be pivoted.
