Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tool for crimping, cutting, pressing or the like.
  • a tool for crimping, cutting, pressing or the like According to the preamble of claim 1, with a linear working path and a lever drive switched between the handle levers and the tool head, which makes it possible, with the help of the handle levers to be compressed, to exert considerable pressure on that Exercise crimping, cutting, pressing or similar tools.
  • a shortcoming of the previous tools (see US-A-27 04 001) is that their manufacture is associated with considerable difficulties because the individual tool parts have to work with the greatest precision in order to bring about the desired connection or deformation of the workpieces at all.
  • the object of the invention is to provide such a tool which, with the simplest manufacture, can achieve the highest precision in use.
  • the tool head is preferably formed in a sandwich construction from flat frame parts and plates lying one above the other.
  • Another advantage that increases the possible uses of the tool is that the tool head can be detached from the handle levers and exchanged for other tool heads for other work options.
  • a force lock that can be set to the required final pressure of the tools is switched on between the handle levers and prevents the tool from opening before this final pressure is reached. This ensures that every workpiece is deformed with the required pressure and that rejects due to improper processing are avoided.
  • the forced lock is expediently formed from an adjustable ratchet, the catch of which is seated on a handle lever and cooperates with a toothed segment provided on the other of the grip levers, the catch and toothed segment being adjustable against one another to regulate the opening time.
  • the tool according to the invention cannot be opened again after the initiation of an operation until the required final pressure has been reached.
  • the complete tool consists of the individual parts shown in the exploded view according to FIG. 1 and is essentially formed from a tool head K which is connected to a handle lever drive G in an exchangeable manner.
  • the tool head consists of flat, punched-out plates 1, which are connected by screws or rivets 15 with the interposition of a plate 2 such that they are exposed with their ends facing the handle levers G and form a space in which a sliding plate 3 can be moved up and down, which forms the lower crimping plate and cooperates with the intermediate plate 2, which represents the upper crimping plate.
  • Bores 5 are provided in downward-reaching projections 4 of the plates 1 for attaching intermediate levers 6 for connecting the tool head to the handle levers.
  • the connection is made by pins or screws 7 which are inserted into the holes 5 provided in the plates 1 and 5 'of the intermediate lever 6 and are only removed for the purpose of replacing the tool head.
  • the sliding plate 3 has an extension 8 extending downward beyond the plates 1 with a groove 9, with which it is supported on the pivot pin 10 of the handle levers 11 and 12 to be described later.
  • spring supports 13 are provided for compression springs 14 inserted between the latter and the plate 2, which press the two crimping tools 2 and 3 into the open position according to FIG. 3 when the handle levers 11 and 12 are spread.
  • the plate 3 is guided by an attachment 16 which slides in the interior of the upper cover plate 1.
  • the lower crimping tool 3 is moved by opening and closing the handle levers 11 and 12.
  • the two intermediate levers 6 are articulated on the pivot pin 17 of the two handle levers.
  • the lever drive 6 connects the tool head K and handle lever drive G in such a way that when the handle levers 11, 12 are spread over the lever 6, the lower tool 3 is removed from the upper tool 2 and when the handle lever 11, 12 is closed, the pivot pin 10 of the upper tool moves upward and the two crimping tools 2 and 3 are moved against each other and the pressing process, d. H. the crimping of the workpiece inserted between the two tools 2 and 3.
  • the entire tool head K can be removed from the handle lever drive G and exchanged for another tool set.
  • a toothed segment 20 is provided on the inside of one handle lever 12, while on the other handle lever 11 a pawl 21 is mounted in a bearing 22 on a pin.
  • bearing bore 24 elongated so that the journal 23 can move in this bore. This displacement is brought about by a bearing 25, in which a threaded pin 26 is provided, on which an adjusting nut 27 is screwed on.
