Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing tools for unlocking of plug contacts, which are part of cable connections, wherein a Shank is used, which is formed by a sleeve, and in a handle pressed and provided with at least one release pin. Furthermore the invention relates to a tool for unlocking plug contacts, the component of cable connections, with a shank formed by a sleeve, connected to a handle and provided with at least one release pin is.
  • an unlocking tool which comprises a shaft having.
  • the shank has a round or polygonal cross section and consists Made of a suitable material such as brass, steel, light metal or plastic.
  • From an end face at the free end of the shaft go two opposite Holes out in the unlocking pins, for example by press fitting or Bonding are firmly inserted.
  • the unlocking pins are made of metallic material manufactured, for example, brass, steel or light metal.
  • the metallic one Entriegelungsstatte are arranged crimped in the metallic sleeve. These pins are not cut to length from a roll. The person skilled in the art consequently receives no clear signposting.
  • From DE-U-87 11 855 also an unlocking tool with a sleeve-shaped shaft, a release pin with free ends and a handle known. The production of this tool is not described.
  • the known unlocking tools have the disadvantage that the intended recess or the slot of the full material of the Shank milled and ground and then polished. Show this way the insides of the pins caused by the milling and grinding high Roughness on. This inevitably leads to damage to the contacts.
  • the piercing depth is limited by the internal machining of the tools.
  • the formation of the release pins by separate pins the are used in the end face at the free end of the shaft, consuming. For this namely, it is necessary to provide holes.
  • the introduction of the holes as well as the making of the pins themselves and their insertion into the holes the production of unlocking tools labor intensive and increase thus the costs.
  • the invention aims to remedy this situation.
  • the objective to be solved by the invention Problem is that known unlocking tools milled pins Have material, whereby a complex production is necessary.
  • the object is achieved in that one of a roll to desired Length of cut spring steel with round or square cross section is used that the cut spring steel used as a release pin is, whose free ends form the Entriegelungs reconstructe that the shape of the free Ends of the release pins on the one hand by the cross section of the spring steel, on the other hand, determined by the formation of each to be solved plug contacts is, and that the cut spring steel pressed into the sleeve and with the sleeve is crimped.
  • the spring steel is pulled into a U-profile and bent. This is in a simple, fast and at the same time inexpensive way Tool for unlocking cable connections schaffbar, the two unlocking pins having.
  • the free ends of the spring steel are ground.
  • the invention is also the object of a tool for unlocking to create plug contacts that are inexpensive to manufacture and at the same time is stable. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that a U-shaped bent spring steel used with round or square cross-section is, whose free ends form the Entriegelungsloche that the shape of the free Ends of the release pins on the one hand by the cross section of the spring steel, on the other hand, determined by the formation of each to be solved plug contacts is.
  • an unlocking tool is created, which is in the production inexpensive and flexible at the free ends of the spring steel, allowing a cancel the unlocking pins is prevented. In addition, it is through the production of the tool in one piece more stable.
  • the unlocking tool has two release pins.
  • the tool is made in one piece; it is inexpensive to manufacture. It also has a high stability, a low roughness depth and an unlimited puncture depth.
  • the spring steel has a quadrangular cross-section.
  • the smooth Extensive outside on the housing of the cable connector from.
  • the outside running around, so that the tool only with a small area on the housing is supported, causing the breaking of the Can lead housing.
  • the unlocking tool has a shaft 1 on, which is formed by a sleeve.
  • the shaft 1 is with its one end in a handle 2 pressed.
  • the unlocking tool is also without provision a handle can be used.
  • At the end facing away from the handle 2 is in the Shaft 1 a spring steel 3 pressed.
  • the shaft 1 has a round cross-section in the exemplary embodiment.
  • the shaft. 1 form in the form of another cross section. For example, oval, polygonal or other training conceivable.
  • the shaft 1 forming Sleeve is a simple metal sleeve, as a result, a cost-effective Making the unlocking tools is possible. It is, however possible to use other materials for the sleeve forming the shaft 1, if desired.
  • the handle 2 is formed in a conventional manner. At his the shaft 1 facing the end of a flange-like finger guard 21 is provided to the a constriction 22 connects. Following the constriction 22 has the Handle 2 - not shown - a substantially quadrangular cross section, the Head of the handle forms.
  • the handle 2 can be made of wood or plastic be. Also, the training of the handle of several different materials conceivable to allow improved handling of the handle.
  • the spring steel 3 has a quadrangular cross-section.
  • the spring steel 3 is Width and height custom rolled.
  • the use of a cross-sectionally round spring steel is possible.
  • the choice of the cross section of the spring steel depends essentially after the formation of the plug contacts, with the help of the unlocking tool to be solved.
  • the spring steel 3 just trained.
  • the spring steel 3 In the embodiments of Figures 2 and 3 is the spring steel 3 bent in a U shape.
  • the spring steel 3 is pressed into the shaft 1; in the U-shaped bent spring steel of Figures 2 and 3, the Pressing in the area of the bend. Due to the pressure on the handle 2 opposite end of the shaft 1 a tongue-like, flattened area 11th caused.
  • the spring steel 3 ground ends 31 on.
  • the spring steel 3 in the embodiment according to Figure 3 at its ends to the facing each other Provided with a taper 32 sides.
  • the taper 32 ends in one Paragraph 33.
  • the free ends of Spring steel 3 is formed without additional formations. The design the free ends of the spring steel 3 depends on the respectively to be solved Plug contacts. Beyond the variants shown in the figures, a Variety of configurations conceivable.
  • the or the free ends of the spring steel 3 form the Entriegelungsloche. Your Shape is determined on the one hand by the shape of the cross section of the spring steel 3, on the other hand by the processing steps carried out at the ends.
  • By shortening a U-shaped bent spring steel 3 on one side also the possibility of a tool with only one release pin when U-shaped to form bent spring steel 3, if necessary.
  • the unlocking tool In the manufacture of the unlocking tool is usually on a Roll rolled up spring steel 3 unrolled and pulled through a directional block to the to eliminate curling caused by the rolling of the spring steel. Of the Spring steel 3 is then cut to the desired length. Following the Tapering the spring steel 3 is pulled into a U-profile and bent over when a Tool according to the embodiments of Figures 2 and 3 produced shall be. He is then pressed into a sleeve which forms the shaft 2, and with the sleeve crinkles. The spring steel 3 is then deburred and ground to size.
