Description

2~89~8 DESCRIPTION
Steel-fixing pincers FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to steel- ixing pincers such as are used for fastening reinforcing rods or mats in the buil~ing industry. The fastening is effected by means of relatively thin wires which are laid around the reinforcing steel, twisted and then cut off with the pincers. Due to the construction, each point in the space occupied by the reinforcement must be reached with a pair of steel-fixing pincers of this type. A ~uilding worker, called a steel fixer, therefore has to be able to reach with the pincers into the reinforcing body. This means that there has to be sufficient clearance space in the respective outer reinforcement for the steel-fixing pincers to be passed through. On the other hand, the steel-fixing pincers must also rest comfortably in the hand so that manipulating them involves as little exertion as possible.
PRIOR ART
It is known that steel-fixing pincers are used which - like the generally known nippers - consist of, for instance, two bar-shaped parts. The two bar-shaped parts are connected to one anGther in an articulated manner, the two free ends of the pincers on one side of the joint being designed as jaw parts and the two other opposite free ends o~ khe pincers being designed as handles. The two handles run away from one another in a V-shape towards their free ends. In the case of these steel-fixing pincers, the manipulation in confined reinforcing cages or suchlike reinforcing arrangements is in some cases extremely difficult, since, when the pincers are opened for taking hold of the binding wire, the appropriate pincers require a correspondingly large clearance space within the reinforcing cage on account of the handles spreading apart in a V-shape. Due to the construction, however, this clearance space is not always - 2 ~ 8 9 8 ~
available, so that in cases of this type the top or front reinforcing layer has to be forced apart so that the pincers can be turned about their longitudinal axis in the reinforcing cage between this top or front reinforcing layer. Furthermore, it is a disadvantage that the handles of these steel-fixing pincers spread very far apart in the opened state, so that in this opened state a human hand is scarcely able to grasp them.

SUMM~RY OF THE INVENTION
Starting from this prior art, the object of the-invention is to specify a pair of steel-fixing pincers of the type mentioned at the beginning in which the disad-vantages of the prior art~mentioned above are not pres~ent and which are therefore universally suitable fox fasten-ing all rods of a reinforcing arrangement and thus in pa-ticular for also fastening a bottom or rear layer of the same in an optimum manner.
This invention is specified by the features of Claim l. The steel-fixing pincers known from the prior art are accordingly distinguished by the fact that, in the closed state of the jaw parts of these steel-fixing pincers, the two handles do not abut one inside the other in a V-shape at the articulation polnt and intersect there so to speak, but the two handle portions adjacent to the joint are formed in such a way that their intersection is a certain distance away from the joint.
With regard to a centre axis running through the joint, the handle parts adjacent to the joint and the jaw parts integrally formed on these handle parts thus lie in each case on the same - either the right-hand or the left-hand - half of a horizontal projection for a pair of steel-fixing pincers of this type.
GB-A-107128 discloses a wire-cutting tool for cutting metal wires such as, in particular, piano wires.
Hard wires of this type cause the cutting jaws of the cutting tooL to rapidly wear. In addition, a relatively large expenditure of force is required for cutting. In - 3 - ~ ~89 order to avoid all too great an effort when closing the cutting jaws, cross-over handle arms are provided in this cutting tool. Any further details and constructional information relative to the cross-over handle ar~s and the way in which the handle portions adjacent to the common joint are supposed to be arranged and designed cannot be gathered ~rom this publication. Nor is this surprising, since the previously known cutting tool is not a pair of steel-fixing pincers and since the problems underlying a pair of steel fixing pincers cannot therefore be the subject-matter of this publication.
When the steel-fixing pincers according to the invention are opened, i.e. when the handles grasped by the human hand are spread apart, the handLe parts adjoining the joint do not swing out of the clearance space occupied by the jaw parts. A pair of steel-fixing pincers o this t~pe can therefore always be passed between reinforcing rods if their closed ~aws fit through the existing intermediate space. The steel-fixing pincers according to the invention therefore permit a quite considerable increase in production, which is of great advantage economically. Especially in the buildin~
sector, where rationalization measures and measures for increasing production are extremely desirable, the steel-fixing pincers according to the invention consequently proves to be of great advantage.
Further advantages and features of the steel-fixing pincers according to the invention can be gathered from the subclaims and the exemplary embodiment below.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
A pair of steel-fixing pincer, 10 is of sym-metrical construction in horizontal projection relative to a centre axis 12. A left-hand jaw part 14 and a right-hand jaw part 16 are pivotably connected to one another at a joint 18 which lies on the centre axis 12 and is formed" or example, by a pin or the like. The front ends 20 of both jaw parts 14, 15 are designed in the form of a cutting edge so that the steel-fixing wire gripped by these jaws can be cut off as easily as possible.
In horizontal projection below the joint 18, a left-hand handle part 22 is fastened to the left-hand jaw part 14. This handle part 22 is connected in one piece to the left-hand jaw part 14. In a corresponding manner, a right-hand handle part 24 is fastened - likewise in one piece - to the right-hand jaw part 16. Here and below, the expression le~t-hand and xight-hand means that the corresponding components of the steel-fixing pincers 10 are located respectively to the left (L) or right (R) of the centre axis 12 in the representation in horizontal projection.
Both handle parts 22, 24 are formed approximately rectilinearly in their centre area and diverge slightly in the direction of the bottom end of the pincers. In the closed state of the steel-fixing pincers 10 tFig. 2), the maximum distance between the handle parts 22, 24 - in the present exemplary embodiment - is just as large as the corresponding maximum distance between the left-hand and right-hand jaw parts 14, 16. This mutual distance is d in both cases. This ensures that the steel-fixing pincers 10 in the closed state - as shown in Fig~ 2 - can be inserted into a reinforcement arrangement, and in fact whenever the steel-fixing pincers fit with their jaw parts 14, 16 through the existing reinforcement clearance ~ 5 ~ 2~ 6~ 9 ~g space.
In their lower area, the left hand and right-hand handle parts 22, 24 swing towards one another and inter-sect at the point 26. At this point 26, the two handle parts 22, 24 lie one above the other. Following the point 25, a right-hand handle 28 adjoins the left-hand handle part 22 and a left-hand handle 30 adjoins the right-hand handle part 24. ~andle 28 and handle 30 form the area of the steel-fixing pincers 10 which is grasped by the human hand of a steel fixer.
In the present example, both handles 28, 30 are at a maximum mutual distance D apart which is greater than the distance d. Both handles 28, 30 run parallel to one another in their lower area. The right-hand handle 28 and the left-hand handle 30 have an approximately circular cross-section.
In the present steel-fixing pincers, the left~
hand jaw part 14, the left-hand handle part 22 and the right-hand handle 28 are thus connected in one piece. In a corxesponding mannerl the right-hand jaw part 16, the right-hand handle part 24 and the left-hand handle 30 are likewise connected in one piece. At the intersecting area ; at the point 26, the two handle parts 22, 24 and the ~ight-hand handle 28 and the left-hand handle 30 res-pectively cross one another in the area of the centre axis 12.
As already explained, the present steel-fixing pincers can be inserted into a reinforcing cage or the like at least up to the area of point 26 whenever the two jaw parts 14, 16 fit through the existing intermediate space of the reinforcing steel. When these steel-fixing pincers 10 are opened, the handles 28, 30 are directed outwards, the jaw parts 14, 16 swinging open. In the process, the left-hand and right-hand handle parts 22, 24 pivot towards one another, i.e. in the direction of the centre axis 12. The distance between the two handle parts 22, 24 thus becomes smaller (Fig. 1). Thus this area of the steel-fixing pincers 10, which is formed by the .

...

- 6 - 2~
left~hand and right-hand handle parts 22, 24, does not get in the way in the area of a reinforcing cage.
Provided the steel-fixing pincers 10 - as explained above - can be inserted into a reinforcing cage, they can also always be opened in their inserted state.
Due to the approximately parallel mutual orien-tation of the right-hand and left-hand handle 28, 30 in : the closed state of the pincers, the two handles also do not spread very far apart so that the steel-fixing pincers 10 can also be grasped in the opened state by a human hand without difficulty.
