Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sliding joint for a two-part tool according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such tools are in particular pliers, for example water pump pliers, of which two main types are widespread, namely a relatively simple version with an applied joint and a more expensive version with inserted joint. Common to both types is that a contoured slot guide allows a gradual adjustment to a desired span.
  • the legs are connected like a pair of scissors by means of a bolt, usually screwed to a joint. If the fitting has loosened during use, it is easily possible to jump from one position to the next larger one when applying the pliers, which can cause damage to the workpiece and / or injury to the user.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a simple sliding joint, which is particularly suitable for pliers of the launched type.
  • the slide joint should allow as with plugged Knopfrastzangen a locking and unlocking at the touch of a button, but require at least equally good function less manufacturing costs.
  • Another object is to provide the slide joint for use with pliers including water pump pliers so that they can be adjusted quickly and safely directly on the workpiece and with always parallel jaws, without an undesirable adjustment would be possible.
  • a sliding joint for a two-part tool for example for a grasping forceps
  • a slider having a movable along a tool part guide flange with a two-sided flattened step body, which axially displaceably carries a locking bolt mounted in a bush, further comprising a compression spring which a push button loaded by the operation of a locking of the sliding joint can be canceled
  • the invention provides according to claim 1, that the slider has a central blind hole breakthrough and that the locking pin has a shank and a cylindrical foot which rotatably in the blind hole of the step body sitting.
  • such a sliding joint Apart from the push button and compression spring, which can form a common component, such a sliding joint consists of only three components, namely a slider designed as a step body, a locking pin and a socket. This simple structure has very favorable performance characteristics, so that the slide joint can be used in a variety of tools.
  • the slider preferably has a two-sided flattened step body with a central blind hole breakthrough and an external thread on the narrow sides of a side facing away from the flange neck.
  • the axially movable in the stage body guided locking pin has a shaft with a widened cylindrical foot which is rotatably seated in the blind hole. This one has a robust component of simple form and correspondingly high structural strength.
  • the bushing can be attached to a second tool part and has on a collar on a remote internal thread, which is screwed with the approach of the stage body to stop.
  • the sleeve thus secures a predetermined distance and protects the surrounding parts of it.
  • a central bore in the bottom of the blind hole breakthrough leads the locking bolt shank which is connected at the end to the push button, in or with which the compression spring is supported, which has its counter bearing on the blind hole bottom and supports in each position a locking, which by Overcoming the spring force can be solved by pressing a button.
  • the flange is designed in the form of a shoulder and the approach of the step body on the side facing away from the shoulder has the external thread, which can be screwed to the axial fixing of the sliding joint on the pliers limbs to stop with the internal thread of the socket on a Round hole of the second tool leg is used.
  • the illustrated slide joint 10 consists of a maximum of five components: a stepped slider 12, a locking pin 14, an insert sleeve 16, a compression spring 18 and a push button 20, wherein compression spring and push button can also form a common component.
  • the latching pin 14 (FIGS. 4 a, 4 b) is axially displaceably guided in the slider 12 (FIGS. 2 a, 2 b) in that a cylindrical foot 15 of the latching bolt 14 is freely rotatably arranged in a central aperture 25 of the slider 12.
  • a shaft 24 of the locking bolt 14 is connected at the end to the push button 20. This is supported by the compression spring 18 at a breakthrough 25 axially delimiting bridge 13 in the slider 12, which forms the bottom of a blind hole 21.
  • the slider 12 has a longitudinally movable on the slot portion A guide flange 23 and a two-sided flattened step body 22 with an external thread 27 on a side facing away from the flange 23 approach 26.
  • the stage body 22 performs the axially movable locking pin 14, the widened cylindrical foot 15 merges into the shaft 24 which rotatably seated in a blind hole 21 of the step body 22.
  • the insert 16 (FIG. 3 a, 3 b) is a bushing with a stepped internal thread 17 fixed to the round-hole leg B and screwing with the external thread 27 on the shoulder 26 of the step body 22.
  • a central bore 30 in the bridge bottom 13 of the blind hole 21 carries the locking pin shaft 24 which is connected at the end to the push button 20 (Fig 5a, 5b), in which the compression spring 18 is supported, the abutment at the bottom of the stage body blind hole 21 has.
  • Fig. 1a shows the sliding joint 10 in the locked position.
  • the foot 15 of the locking bolt 14 locks the slider 12 on the slot leg A and connected to the shaft 24 of the locking bolt 14 push button 20 protrudes beyond the top of the insert sleeve 16, which is fixed to the round hole leg B to stop.
  • the sliding joint 10 is a very compact combination of a maximum of five components, which is advantageously used on a two-part tool, namely a pair of pliers, to selectively bring about a clutch in the desired position or a decoupling for changing the position.
  • the slider 12 has a longitudinally movable on the slot L of a tool leg A flange in the form of the shoulder 19 and a two-sided flattened step body 22, the shoulder 26 on the side facing away from the shoulder has an external thread 27.
  • the step body 22 of the shaft 24 of the locking bolt 14 is guided axially movable with its widened cylindrical foot 15, namely rotatably in the central bore 30 of the blind hole 21, the bottom 13 forms an abutment for the compression spring 18, which in or on the push button 20 their other Support surface has.
