Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zange gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to pliers according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Eine derartige Zange, die zum Beispiel als Crimpzange ausgebildet sein kann, ist bereits aus der EP 0 516 598 bekannt. Diese Zange weist zwei relativ zueinander bewegliche Zangenbacken auf. die jeweils ein Bearbeitungselement zur Ausführung einer geradlinigen Arbeitsbewegung zwischen einer geschlossenen und einer geöffneten Stellung der Bearbeitungselemente tragen; die Bearbeitungselemente sind um eine gemeinsame Achse, welche durch die Richtung der Arbeitsbewegung der Bearbeitungselemente relativ zueinander definiert ist, in unterschiedliche Arbeitspositionen gemeinsam um diese Achse drehbar angeordnet und mittels parallel zu dieser Achse liegender Führungsstifte, welche an einem der Bearbeitungselemente angebracht sind und in Bearbeitungselement-Führungsbohrungen des anderen Bearbeitungselements verlaufen, relativ zueinander geführt, wobei die Führungsstifte in der geöffneten Stellung der Bearbeitungselemente nicht neben den Zangenbacken verlaufen.Such pliers, which can be designed, for example, as crimping pliers, is already known from EP 0 516 598. These pliers have two relative to each other movable jaws on. each a processing element to perform a linear work movement between a closed one and carry an open position of the processing elements; the editing elements are about a common axis, which by direction the working movement of the processing elements defined relative to each other is in different working positions together around this axis rotatably arranged and by means of guide pins lying parallel to this axis, which are attached to one of the machining elements and in machining element guide bores of the other editing element run, guided relative to each other, the guide pins in the open The position of the processing elements does not run next to the jaws of the pliers.

Nachteil dieser Zange ist allerdings, daß bedingt durch die Art der Aufnahmevorrichtung für die Bearbeitungselemente die Länge der Führungsstifte begrenzt ist. Die Führungsstifte dürfen im betätigten Zustand der Zange nicht aus dem die Bearbeitungselement-Führungsbohrungen aufweisenden Bearbeitungselement herausragen, da sie sonst gegen die Aufnahmevorrichtung schlagen würden. Dies wiederum führt in geöffnetem Zustand der Bearbeitungselemente dazu, daß die Führungsschlitze nur wenig in die Bearbeitungselement-Führungsbohrungen eingreifen und bei Beginn des Preßvorgangs nur geringe Stabilität bieten.The disadvantage of these pliers, however, is that they depend on the type of holding device the length of the guide pins is limited for the machining elements is. The guide pins must not be in the activated state of the pliers from the machining element having the machining element guide bores stick out, otherwise they would hit the cradle would hit. This in turn leads to the processing elements being open to the fact that the guide slots only a little in the machining element guide bores intervene and at the start of the pressing process offer little stability.

Aus der US 3,470,728 und der US 4,381,661 sind weitere Zangen bekannt, bei denen jedoch die Bearbeitungselemente nicht um eine gemeinsame Achse, welche durch die Richtung der Arbeitsbewegung der Bearbeitungselemente relativ zueinander definiert ist, drehbar angeordnet sind. Zwar gibt es hier Führungsstifte zur Führung der Bearbeitungselemente relativ zueinander, jedoch liegen diese Führungsstifte schon bei geöffneter Stellung der Bearbeitungselemente neben den Zangenbacken. Further pliers are known from US 3,470,728 and US 4,381,661, where, however, the machining elements are not about a common axis, which by the direction of the working movement of the machining elements is defined relative to each other, are rotatably arranged. Although there is Guide pins for guiding the machining elements relative to each other, however these guide pins are already in the open position of the processing elements next to the pliers jaws.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Zange der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß unter Wahrung der Drehbarkeit der Bearbeitungselemente in ihrer geöffneten Stellung eine sicherere Führung der Bearbeitungselemente schon zu Beginn des Preßvorgangs erhalten wird und daβ die Zange eine Verdrehsicherung beinhaltet, welche nach einem anfänglichen Schließweg ein Verdrehen der Bearbeitungs elemente verbindert.The invention has for its object the pliers of the aforementioned Kind in such a way that while maintaining the rotatability of the processing elements in its open position a safer guidance of the processing elements is obtained at the beginning of the pressing process and that the pliers contain an anti-rotation device, which after an initial closing path, a twisting of the Machining elements connected.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegeben. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.The solution to the problem is in the characterizing part of the claim 1 specified. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the See subclaims.

Die Zange nach der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Führungsstifte bereits bei teilweise geschlossener Zange durch die Bearbeitungselement-Führungsbohrungen hindurchragen. The pliers according to the invention are characterized in that the guide pins already with the pliers partially closed through the machining element guide holes protrude.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Bearbeitungselemente mittels zweier Führungsstifte geführt. Die Führungsstifte können dabei beliebig in einem Abstand voneinander auf den Bearbeitungselementen positioniert sein, wobei Ihre Anordnung vorzugsweise derart erfolgt, daß beim Preßvorgang auf die Bearbeitungselemente ausgeübte Drehmomente möglichst gut kompensiert werden, um so ein Verkanten der Bearbeitungselemente mit den Führungsstiften zu vermeiden. So können die Führungsstifte z. B. versetzt oder auf einer Geraden parallel zur Längsrichtung der Bearbeitungselemente liegen. Die zuletzt genannte Anordnung weist z. B. den Vorteil auf, daß die Bearbeitungselemente in einer Richtung besonders schmal (etwas größer als der größte Durchmesser der Führungsstifte) sein können.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the processing elements guided by means of two guide pins. The guide pins can be spaced apart on the processing elements be positioned, with your arrangement preferred is carried out in such a way that during the pressing process the machining elements are exerted Torques are compensated for as well as possible in order to avoid tilting avoid the machining elements with the guide pins. So can the guide pins z. B. offset or parallel on a straight line to the longitudinal direction of the processing elements. The latter Arrangement z. B. the advantage that the processing elements in one Direction particularly narrow (slightly larger than the largest diameter the guide pins).

Die Führungsstifte befinden sich vorzugsweise an nur einem Bearbeitungselement, wodurch sie folglich in korrespondierende Führungsbohrungen des anderen Bearbeitungselements eingreifen. Alternativ könnte jedoch auch jedes der Bearbeitungselemente jeweils nur einen Führungsstift aufweisen, der dann in eine korrespondierende Führungsbohrung des jeweiligen anderen Bearbeitungselements eingreifen würde. Natürlich sind auch mehr als nur zwei Führungsstifte denkbar, wodurch sich die Stabilität weiter verbessern ließe.The guide pins are preferably located on only one processing element, thus consequently in corresponding guide bores of the other processing element. Alternatively, could however, each of the processing elements has only one guide pin have, which then in a corresponding guide bore of the would intervene in each other processing element. Naturally are more than just two guide pins conceivable, whereby the Stability could be further improved.

Bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel liegen in einer der Arbeits positionen der Bearbeitungselemente die Führungsstifte in einer senkrecht zur Zangenebene verlaufenden Ebene, wobei sie seitlich an einem Zangenbacken vorbeiführbar sind. Folglich liegt bei geschlossener Stellung der Bearbeitungselemente der Zangenbacken zwischen den parallelen Führungsstiften. Dadurch können die Führungsstifte besonders lang ausgebildet sein. wobei sie allerdings bei offener Stellung der Bearbeitungselemente nicht neben den Zangenbacken verlaufen dürfen, da sonst eine Drehung der Bearbeitungselemente in eine andere Arbeitsposition nicht mehr möglich ist.In the preferred embodiment lie in one of the working positions of the machining elements the guide pins in one perpendicular to the plane of the pliers, being on the side of a Pliers jaws can be passed. Consequently, is closed Position of the processing elements of the jaws between the parallel Guide pins. This makes the guide pins special be long. but with the processing elements in the open position must not run next to the jaws of the pliers, because otherwise a rotation of the processing elements in a different working position is no longer possible.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Zangenbacken wenigstens im Bereich der Bearbeitungselemente hohl. In einer anderen Arbeitsposition der Bearbeitungselemente können nämlich die Führungsstifte in der Zangenebene liegen und somit bei geschlossenem Zustand der Bearbeitungselemente in diesen hohl ausgebildeten Bereich des Zangenbackens eintauchen. Die Zangenbacken können alternativ auch durch zwei in einem Abstand voneinander angeordnete Platten gebildet sein, was sich positiv auf das Gesamtgewicht der Zange auswirkt.According to a development of the invention, the jaws are at least hollow in the area of the processing elements. In a different working position the processing elements can namely the guide pins lie in the plane of the pliers and thus when the Machining elements in this hollow area of the jaws plunge. The pliers jaws can alternatively also by two plates arranged at a distance from one another, what has a positive effect on the total weight of the pliers.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind in dem hohlen Bereich der Zangenbacken Rastelemente ausgebildet. Dabei sind die Bearbeitungselemente über jeweils einen Drehzapfen von einem vom Zangenbacken getragenen Lager gehalten.According to a further embodiment of the invention are in the hollow area the jaws are designed with locking elements. Here are the processing elements one pivot each from one of the jaws of the pliers worn bearing held.

Wenigstens eines der Rastelemente, an dem die Führungsstifte vorbeibewegbar sind, besteht aus einem mit Rastnasen versehenen Federbügel, der in einer senkrecht zum Drehzapfen verlaufenden Ebene liegt und mit seinen Rastnasen in Längsnuten des Drehzapfens eingreift. Auf diese Weise kann ein relativ kurzes Lager gebildet werden, das seinerseits einen kleinen Abstand der Führungsstifte voneinander ermöglicht, so daß auch für den Fall, daß die Führungsstifte in den Hohlraum des Zangenbackens eingreifen, die Bearbeitungselemente klein gehalten werden können.At least one of the locking elements on which the guide pins can be moved are consists of a spring clip provided with locking lugs, the lies in a plane perpendicular to the pivot and with its Lugs engage in the longitudinal grooves of the pivot. In this way can be formed a relatively short camp, which in turn a small Distance of the guide pins from each other, so that also for the case that the guide pins engage in the cavity of the pliers jaw, the processing elements can be kept small.

Nach einer noch weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Lager als Block mit einer Durchgangsöffnung für den Zapfen ausgebildet, der somit auf einfache Weise aufgesteckt werden kann.According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the bearing is as Block formed with a through hole for the pin, thus can be easily plugged on.

Um das Lager möglichst einfach am Zangenbacken schwenkbar fixieren zu können, sind außen am Lager Achsansätze angeordnet, die in korrespondierende Öffnungen des Zangenbackens eingeführt werden können. Dadurch ist eine Relativbewegung zwischen Zangenbacken und Lager beim Öffnen und Schließen der Zange möglich.In order to fix the bearing to the jaw of the pliers as easily as possible can, axle approaches are arranged on the outside of the bearing, which in corresponding Openings of the jaws can be inserted. Thereby is a relative movement between the jaws of the pliers and the bearing Opening and closing of the pliers possible.

    In den Platten 2a, 2b: 3a, 3b sind jeweils Bohrungen 4, 5. 6 vorgesehen, in denen als Abstandhalter dienende Bolzen (nicht gezeigt) eingeführt werden, um so die jeweiligen Platten 2a und 2b sowie 3a und 3b in einem festen Abstand miteinander zu halten und die Zangenbacken 2 und 3 zu bilden.Bores 4, 5. 6 are provided in the plates 2a, 2b: 3a, 3b, in to which bolts (not shown) serving as spacers are inserted, so the respective plates 2a and 2b as well as 3a and 3b in a fixed Keep distance from each other and form the jaws 2 and 3.

    Die beiden Zangenbacken 2, 3 sind über jeweils in den Platten 2a, 2b; 3a, 3b ausgebildete Bohrungen 7 gekoppelt, und zwar durch einen in diese Bohrungen 7 eingeführten Bolzen (nicht gezeigt), der folglich als gemeinsame Drehachse dient, um die die Zangenbacken 2, 3 verschwenkbar sind.The two jaws 2, 3 are each in the plates 2a, 2b; 3a, 3b trained bores 7, namely by a in this Bores 7 inserted bolt (not shown), which consequently as a common The axis of rotation serves to pivot the pliers jaws 2, 3 are.

    Wie in Figur 1 ferner gezeigt, liegen im vorderen Bereich der Zange 1 Bearbeitungselemente 8, 9 zwischen den Zangenbacken 2, 3, wobei das Bearbeitungselement 8 vom oberen Zangenbacken 2 und das Bearbeitungselement 9 vom unteren Zangenbacken 3 getragen wird.As further shown in FIG. 1, there are processing elements in the front area of the pliers 1 8, 9 between the jaws 2, 3, the machining element 8 from the upper jaw 2 and the processing element 9 is carried by the lower jaw 3.

    Das Bearbeitungselement 8 weist einen sich in Richtung des Bearbeitungselements 9 erstreckenden Stempelansatz 10 auf, der bei geschlossener Zange 1 von einer korrespondierenden im Bearbeitungselement 9 ausgebildeten Ausbuchtung 11 aufgenommen wird.The processing element 8 has one in the direction of the processing element 9 extending stamp approach 10, the closed Pliers 1 from a corresponding one formed in the processing element 9 Bulge 11 is added.

    Die Figur 1 zeigt ferner ein Lager 14, in dem das untere Bearbeltungselement 9 drehbar um eine in der Zangenebene liegende Achse gelagert ist. Das Lager 14 ist als Block 15 ausgebildet und weist an gegenüberliegenden Seiten Achsansätze 16a, 16b auf (16b ist in Figur 1 nicht gezeigt).FIG. 1 also shows a bearing 14 in which the lower processing element 9 is rotatably mounted about an axis lying in the plane of the pliers.

Wie zu erkennen, wird der auf dem Bearbeitungselement 8 ausgebildete Stempelansatz 10 bei geschlossener Zange 1 vollständig von der im Bearbeitungselement 9 ausgebildeten Ausbuchtung 11 aufgenommen. Wie ferner zu sehen, tauchen bei geschlossener Zange 1 die Führungsstifte 12 und 13 in den unteren, durch die Platte 3a. 3b gebildeten Zangenbacken 3 ein und durchragen dabei das untere Bearbeitungselement 9. In der Platte 3b des unteren Zangenbackens 3 ist eine Bohrung 18 ausgebildet, in die der Achsansatz 16a des Lagers 14 aus Figur 1 eingreift.FIG. 2 shows a perspective side view of the front part of FIG closed pliers 1, the processing elements 8, 9 in one first working position. As can be seen, the one on the editing element 8 trained stamp approach 10 with closed pliers 1 completely from the bulge formed in the processing element 9 11 added. As can also be seen, the guide pins are immersed when the pliers 1 are closed 12 and 13 in the lower, through the plate 3a. 3b formed jaws 3 and protrude through the lower processing element 9. In a hole 18 is formed in the plate 3b of the lower jaw 3, into which the axle shoulder 16a of the bearing 14 from FIG. 1 engages.

    Zwischen den Platten 2a, 2b des oberen Zangenbackens 2 befindet sich das bereits in Figur 1 genannte Lager 19, in dem das Bearbeitungselement 8 drehbar gelagert ist, und das mit einem seiner beiden Achsansätze in die in der Platte 2b ausgebildete Bohrung 17 eingreift.This is between the plates 2a, 2b of the upper jaw 2 bearing 19 already mentioned in FIG. 1, in which the processing element 8 is rotatably mounted, and that with one of its two axis approaches in the the plate 2b engages formed bore 17.

    In der Platte 2a des oberen Zangenbackens 2 sind ferner zu den Bohrungen 4, 5 der Platte 2b korrespondierende Bohrungen 20, 21 zur Aufnahme der bereits genannten Abstandsbolzen gebildet.In the plate 2a of the upper jaw 2 are also to the holes 4, 5 of the plate 2b corresponding holes 20, 21 for receiving the already formed spacers.

    Im hinteren Bereich des unteren Zangenbackens 3 ist eine in den Platten 3a, 3b vorhandene Bohrung 22 zu sehen, über die ein in einen Handgriff (nicht gezeigt) übergehendes Verbindungsglied (nicht gezeigt) mit dem unteren Zangenbacken 3 schwenkbar gekoppelt ist.In the rear area of the lower jaw 3 is one in the plates 3a, 3b to see the existing bore 22, through which a handle (not shown) transition link (not shown) to the lower one Pliers jaws 3 is pivotally coupled.

    Wie deutlich zu sehen, ist der Abstand der Platten 3a, 3b des unteren Zangebackens 3 im Bereich der Bohrung 7 etwas kleiner als der Abstand der Platten 2a, 2b des oberen Zangenbackens 2. Auf diese Weise kann der untere Zangenbacken 3 zumindest teilweise in den durch die Platten 2a, 2b gebildeten Spalt des oberen Zangenbackens 2 geschoben werden.As can be clearly seen, the distance between the plates 3a, 3b of the lower jaw is 3 in the area of the bore 7 slightly smaller than the distance of the Plates 2a, 2b of the upper jaw 2. In this way, the lower Pliers jaws 3 at least partially in the through the plates 2a, 2b formed gap of the upper jaw 2 are pushed.

    Die Figur 2 zeigt ferner einen auf dem Bearbeitungselement 8 gebildeten Drehzapfen 23, der durch das Lager 19 hindurchragt und über den das Bearbeitungselement 8 drehbar ist. Das Bearbeitungselement 9 ist auf ähnliche Weise in dem zwischen den Platten 3a, 3b des unteren Zangenbackens 3 angeordneten Lager 14 drehbar. Da beide Bearbeitungselemente 8, 9 über die Führungsstifte 12, 13 miteinander verbunden sind, lassen sie sich nur gemeinsam um die in der Zangenebene liegenden Drehzapfen 23 drehen. FIG. 2 also shows one formed on the processing element 8 Trunnion 23, which projects through the bearing 19 and through which the machining element 8 is rotatable. The processing element 9 is similar Way in between the plates 3a, 3b of the lower jaw 3 arranged bearings 14 rotatable. Since both processing elements 8, 9 are connected to each other via the guide pins 12, 13, let them only around the pivots 23 lying in the plane of the pliers rotate.

    Die Figur 3 zeigt eine perspektivische Seitenansicht des vorderen Teils der geschlossenen Zange 1 mit den Bearbeitungselementen 8, 9 in der ersten Arbeitsposition.FIG. 3 shows a perspective side view of the front part of FIG closed pliers 1 with the processing elements 8, 9 in the first Working position.

    Der Drehzapfen 23 des Bearbeitungselements 8 ist mittels eines Sprengrings 24 gegen Herausrutschen aus dem Lager 19 gesichert. Entsprechendes gilt für den Drehzapfen des Bearbeitungselements 9.The pivot 23 of the machining element 8 is by means of a Snap rings 24 secured against slipping out of the bearing 19. The same applies to the pivot of the machining element 9.

    Im rechten Teil der Figur 3 ist eine Spiralfeder 25 gezeigt, die bei geschlossener Zange 1 gespannt ist. Die Zangenbacken 2 und 3 sind über diese Spiralfeder 25 derart miteinander gekoppelt, daß sie durch die Spiralfeder 25 wieder in die Zangenöffnungsstellung überführbar sind.In the right part of Figure 3, a coil spring 25 is shown, the closed Pliers 1 is clamped. The jaws 2 and 3 are over this coil spring 25 coupled to each other in such a way that they are wound by the spiral spring 25 can be moved back into the tong opening position.

    Die Figur 3 zeigt ferner das bereits genannte Verbindungsglied 26, das mit dem unteren Zangenbacken 3 gekoppelt ist.FIG. 3 also shows the connecting link 26 already mentioned, which is connected to the lower jaw 3 is coupled.

    Die Figur 4 zeigt das als Block 15 ausgebildete Lager 14. Ähnlich ist das Lager 19 ausgebildet. An zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen sind jeweils die Achsansätze 16a und 16b ausgebildet, die in die korrespondierenden Bohrungen 17, 17 bzw. 18. 18 der Zangenbacken 2, 3 eingreifen, um so die Lager 14, 19 mit diesen drehbar zu koppeln.FIG. 4 shows the bearing 14 designed as block 15. The bearing is similar 19 trained. On two opposite side faces are each the axles 16a and 16b formed, which in the corresponding Bores 17, 17 and 18, 18 of the jaws 2, 3 engage so that the Bearings 14, 19 can be rotatably coupled to these.

    Auf der unteren Seite des Blocks 15 befindet sich eine eine Durchgangsöffnung 26 des Blocks 15 umlaufende Einkerbung, in die ein Rastelement 27 eingelegt ist.There is a through opening on the lower side of block 15 26 of the block 15 circumferential notch into which a locking element 27 is inserted.

    Die Figur 5 zeigt das Bearbeitungselement 8 des Ausführungsbeispiels nach den Figuren 1 bis 3. Wie darin zu sehen, weist der Drehzapfen 23 vier jeweils gegenüberliegende Nuten 28 auf, die in seiner Längsrichtung verlaufen.FIG. 5 shows the processing element 8 of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3. As can be seen therein, the pivot pin 23 has four opposite grooves 28 which run in its longitudinal direction.

    Das Rastelement ist als U-förmiger Federbügel 27 ausgebildet, der an seinen beiden Schenkeln nach innen zeigende Rastnasen 29 aufweist, die in der jeweiligen Arbeitsposition der Bearbeitungselemente 8, 9 in die entsprechenden Umfangsnuten 28 des Drehzapfens 23 einrasten. Somit wird eine sehr kurze Baulänge des Lagers 14 erhalten, da die beiden Schenkel des Federbügels 27 nur über einen relativ dünnen und nahe am Drehzapfen 23 liegenden Steg verbunden sind.The locking element is designed as a U-shaped spring clip 27, which on its has two legs inwardly pointing locking lugs 29 which in the respective working position of the processing elements 8, 9 in the corresponding Engage the circumferential grooves 28 of the pivot pin 23. Thus receive a very short length of the bearing 14 because the two legs of the spring clip 27 only over a relatively thin and close to the pivot 23 lying web are connected.

    Im oberen Bereich des Drehzapfens 23 sind ferner umlaufende Einkerbungen 30 gebildet, in die zur Sicherung des Bearbeitungselements 8 ein Sprengring einführbar ist.In the upper area of the pivot pin 23 there are also circumferential notches 30 formed into a to secure the processing element 8 Snap ring is insertable.

    Die Figur 6 zeigt eine perspektivische Seitenansicht des vorderen Teils der halb geschlossenen Zange 1 nach Figur 1, wobei sich die Bearbeitungselemente 8, 9 in einer zweiten Bearbeitungsposition befinden, welche gegenüber der ersten Bearbeitungsposition um 90° gedreht ist.FIG. 6 shows a perspective side view of the front part of FIG semi-closed pliers 1 according to Figure 1, with the processing elements 8, 9 are in a second processing position, which are opposite the first machining position is rotated by 90 °.

    Die Führungsstifte 12, 13 liegen dabei in einer senkrecht zur Zangenebeneverlaufenden Ebene, die durch die Arbeitsbacken 2,3 und die mit ihnen verbundenen Zangengriffe aufgespannt wird.The guide pins 12, 13 lie in a perpendicular to the pliers plane Level through the work jaws 2,3 and with them connected pliers handles is clamped.

    Wie in Figur 6 zu sehen, tauchen die Führungsstifte 12, 13 bereits bei teilweise geschlossener Zange 1 durch die in dem Bearbeitungselement 9 ausgebildeten Führungsbohrungen hindurch. Der Führungsstift 12 verläuft dabei außen seitlich an der Platte 3b des Zangenbackens 3 vorbei. Entsprechendes gilt für den Führungsstift 13.As can be seen in FIG. 6, the guide pins 12, 13 are already partially immersed closed pliers 1 by those formed in the processing element 9 Through guide holes. The guide pin 12 runs thereby past the side of the plate 3b of the jaw 3. The same applies to the guide pin 13.

    Die Bearbeitungselemente 8, 9 sind ferner in beiden Arbeitspositionen minimal um die durch die Achsansätze 16a, 16b gebildete Achse drehbar. Aus diesem Grund ist es notwendig, daß die Bearbeitungselemente 8, 9 nicht unmittelbar auf den Stirnflächen der Platten 2a, 2b bzw. 3a, 3b der Zangenbacken 2, 3 aufliegen, sondern einen gewissen Abstand von diesen einhalten, um ein Verkanten zu vermeiden.The processing elements 8, 9 are also minimal in both working positions rotatable about the axis formed by the axle extensions 16a, 16b. For this reason, it is necessary that the processing elements 8, 9 not directly on the end faces of the plates 2a, 2b or 3a, 3b Pliers jaws 2, 3 rest, but a certain distance from them adhere to avoid jamming.
