Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tool for binding an object, in particular a wire harness, by means of a a lock to be closed.
  • the tool points to the Forehead of his tool body, a loop wrench, at least partially from those held movably on the tool body Plier parts are formed, and a lock holder on.
  • a tensioning device for tensioning the in the loop pliers and tape passed through the castle and a control device for opening the loop pliers and tensioning the tape in place.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages avoid.
  • the invention has recognized that binding an object then can be done without any problems if the opened, from Tool body protruding pliers parts at the latest during the Tensioning the tape from beyond the object Area to be removed.
  • the invention makes this possible in that it provides a tool in which the loop pliers before or during tensioning of the strap is opened, and the wrap around a substantial Part of the outreach that they closed has forward, is retractable.
  • the parts of the pliers are limited to an arc that mainly leads to the side and only to a lesser extent backward component is in the inventive Tool a backward movement overlaid with the lateral opening movement or afterwards intended.
  • the looping pliers are in proportion to their transverse movement withdrawn significantly. This not only achieves that the binding of an object and possibly its simultaneous Always connect with a fixed bracket without any problems is possible; it also enables objects to tie that in close proximity to any Obstacles, such as a supporting structure, without the pliers parts hitting these obstacles. With the tool according to the invention is consequently also a binding possible in a limited space.
  • That the wrap around a substantial part of the Outreach, which it shows forward when closed, withdrawn preferably means that it is withdrawn at least half of their forward projection is retractable.
  • the projection is from the lock holder starting to measure. Furthermore, it should preferably be around at least a quarter, more preferably by at least that Half of their maximum opening width must be retractable.
  • the opening movement can begin as soon as the tape is off the Clamping device is detected.
  • the withdrawal movement be matched to the opening movement so that the narrowest parts of the pliers - these are generally the pliers tips - sufficiently far around the outline of the object to be bound be led around. This requires a strong one Retraction movement only takes place when the pliers are out opened at least about as wide as the object is wide.
  • the hinged pliers parts each have two articulation points, guided along predetermined paths on the tool body are.
  • the course of movement of the pliers can be predetermined paths be controlled in the desired manner.
  • An advantageous one Execution option for such a guideway is Arrangement of a pivot point at the end of a handlebar, the other end is pivotally connected to the tool body.
  • This guideway is then designed as an arc. The does not mean that those forming the loop guide Parts of the pliers have to move along an arc, since this also depends on the shape of the other guideway is dependent. This can also be done by one with the tool connected handlebars be formed.
  • it is a sliding guide on the tool body and a cooperating slider, wherein the glider is connected to the second articulation point.
  • the fastening eyelet on their the object facing side has at least one projection the pliers parts when closed on the fastening eyelet are behind. This rules out that Tool in the closed state during the binding process due to an unwanted movement its safe connection loses to the eyelet.
  • points at least one of the free ends of the pliers parts is a pair of the fastening eyelet between in the closed state fingers, which are arranged behind the side Grip the projection or the projections.
  • a pair of the fastening eyelet Has fingers according to another characteristic of Invention the width of the eyelet in different directions so that they are only in that position between the fingers fit in the band opening the loop guide continues in alignment in the pliers parts.
  • the width of the eyelet measured across to the direction of their band opening a little smaller or at most equal to the clear distance of the fingers while being measured in the direction parallel to the band opening, larger than that clear distance between the fingers.
  • the guide device can be detachable with a guide device be connected, the guide surfaces leading to the fastening eye for the pliers parts. If to hold one a wiring board to be tied to the wiring harness or the like the guide device should be attached to it be and have a bracket for the eyelet or form. This will not only change the location of the eyelet in relation to the item to be bound fixed, but also ensures that they are accurate located at the location of the location of an anchoring device corresponds to the supporting structure which the item is to be assembled later. It can Precautions should be taken to ensure that the fastening eyelet connected to the holding device only in such a position can be proportionate to their desired orientation corresponds to the guide device and the belt direction. For this purpose, the attachment eyelet forming fastener and the bracket provided form-fitting interacting alignment means provided his.
  • the lock holder during of clamping moved away from the tool body and towards it binding object runs there. It is convenient to do so the advance of the lock bracket controlled so that the through the lead of the lock holder and the one held in it Lockes the resulting reduction in the size of the sling is smaller than that transported by the tensioning device free tape length.
  • the lead of the lock holder can also take place passively, d. that is, the castle and the The lock bracket will move as a result of the tensioning of the band achieved reduction of the band loop without own drive forward.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that the lead of the lock bracket is often from the Drive side is easy to perform, not least off the reason that the kinematics of movement is only one one-dimensional longitudinal movement of the lock holder requires. The fact that the pliers links at least at the beginning of Tool is still closed especially in cases when the ends of the pliers on one Structure or fastener, light and to position exactly.
  • the tool has a tool body 1 with a pistol-like arranged handle 2, on which there is a release button 3 for starting the binding process.
  • On the front end of the total The looping pliers are located on the elongated tool body 4, which are predominantly formed by two pliers parts 5 is, which are movably mounted on the tool body 1.
  • the Wrapping guide can also partially in the area 6 of the tool body or from connected to the tool body Share be formed.
  • Other parts such as a fastening eyelet 7 (Fig. 5, 11-14) to which the pliers parts 5 connect in the closed state, can participate in education participate in the looping.
  • the leadership will formed by a groove 8 in the pliers parts 5.
  • One from the Forehead of the tool body emerging with the free end ahead Tape is through the groove 8 around the object to be bound and led back to the tool face.
  • There is one Lock bracket 9 provided by the outline of the dashed indicated lock 10 is shown schematically.
  • the lock 10 receives the leading end 11 of the tape. This then goes into a tensioning device, not shown, which tightens around the object to be tied. there this is used on the lock holder 9 or conversely, the tool with its lock holder on the Object used. This case is indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • a wire harness 12 to be bound is by any Device 13, which is next to the tool (below the Plane) is a short distance from the wall 14 held so that the wire harness 12 when closed Wrapping pliers 4 are located far from the lock holder 9.
  • the wire harness 12 cannot be harmful from this position Forced to be used on the lock bracket since he is held on the one hand by the device 13 and on the other hand the looping pliers striking the wall 14 4 prevents the tool from approaching the wiring harness.
  • the wrap-around pliers 4 forming pliers parts 5 before tensioning the band or withdrawn at the latest during tensioning as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the tool body can now approach the wiring harness 12. This applies accordingly in the case shown in Figs. 8 and 9 when the wire harness 12 is arranged on a laying board 42.
  • the front projection 16 is from the forehead 15 of the Lock bracket 9 from to the foremost point of the belt pliers 4 measured.
  • the degree of retraction of the pliers parts according to the invention can also be related to their opening width. This is useful because with the known tools, their Pliers are guided on circular paths, a relative low withdrawal in relation to the opening movement distance takes place. It depends on the opening width of the Pliers tips open when open. 1 is the Opening width 17 of one of the two pliers parts shown. The entire opening width is twice as large. The withdrawal should be at least a quarter of the total opening width be.
  • each tong part has two articulation points 18, 19, which are guided on predetermined tracks, which on Tool body are fixed.
  • the pivot point is 18 at the end of a handlebar 20 pivotally arranged, the other End at 21 on the tool body 1 is pivotally mounted.
  • the guideway of the articulation point 18 is therefore a Circular arc 22.
  • the other articulation point 19 has a slider on the back and forth in a guide groove 23 is.
  • the opening and closing drive can be conventional Way and, for example, the handlebar 20 with a back and forth swivel drive connected, or the slider 19 is with a back and forth in the longitudinal direction running drive connected.
  • the guideways 22, 23 are matched in shape so that the front End of the pliers parts 5 first moves laterally when opening, to release the object to be bound, and then backwards as it is dash-dotted by a sequence shown functional stages in Fig. 1 for one of the two Plier parts is illustrated.
  • the guidance can also take place in any other way. So can, for example, both articulation points by handlebars Be circular arc, as is the articulation point 18 in Embodiment is shown. Or are both articulation points guided in sliding guides or the front pivot point 18 guided in a sliding guide and the rear 19 on one Handlebars.
  • the invention has the advantage that cable ties are bound even then can be localized in front of a wall 14 are set. They can also be tied to eyelets, such as the exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate this.
