- edges are arranged in conjunction with the extended wall end, the edges being arranged along the sides of the extended wall, extending vertically up from the extended wall, forming a channel wherein the clamp and the outer part of the ramming piston will be guided.
- Said outwards extending wall end may preferably have a length which at least partly corresponds to the thickness of the cable to be attached to the supporting surface, whereby the clamp is guided at least partly during the initial phase of the attachment process.
- the tongue projecting into the opening of the sleeve shaped body may preferably be pivoted about an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation being positioned closer to the clamp holding end than the free end of said area or tongue.
- the tongue may be arranged on a side wall that is perpendicular with respect to the extended end wall of the sleeve shaped body.
- the ramming body may further have a larger cross sectional area at the end intended to support the clamp than the remaining part of the ramming body.
- a side surface of the ramming body may be provided with an elongate recess which is intended to cooperate with a knob or lip configured to project down into the recess, the length of the recess restricting the ramming body from being withdrawn into the opening beyond a point where the clamp supporting surface of the ramming piston is in contact with said surface or tongue.
- the lip extending into the elongate recess may preferably be arranged at the end of an arm which is flexibly arranged on the sleeve formed body, configured so that the ramming body may be snapped on to the sleeve shaped body.
- the sleeve shaped body and the ramming body may preferably be made of a plastic material, while the clamp driver attached to the front end of the ramming body may be made of metal.
- a do-it-yourself-kit tool may be provided, making it easy for usual consumers to attach a couple of meter of electrical cables on to a supporting surface.
- the tool may be included in pre-packed clamp packages without having any significant effect on the sale price.
- FIGS 1a-1d show different embodiments of a clamp 10a-10d for which the tool according to the invention is designed.
- the clamps 10a and 10b are so called TP-clamps, provided with a single nail 11 and a head 12, the head 12 being configured to enclose an electric cable (not shown), the head 12 being provided with an aperture 13.
- Figure 1c and 1d show two different embodiments of a clamp for gypsum or plaster walls, comprising three legs 11, and a head 12 with an aperture 13 corresponding to the one for the TP-clamp.
- the purpose of the aperture 13 will be described below in relation to the ram and the ramming pin.
- Figure 2 shows a sleeve shaped housing 14 in perspective with an assembled ramming unit 15.
- the ramming unit 15 is slidably arranged inside an opening 16 extending through the sleeve shaped housing between two extreme positions (see Figures 6 and 7 ).
- the ramming unit 15 is shown in its extreme position subsequent to completion of attachment of a clamping 10a-10d into the supporting structure.
- Figure 3 shows a corresponding view in perspective, where the ramming unit 15 is in its second extreme position in the sleeve shaped housing 14, ready for insertion of a clamp (not shown) in the central opening 16.
- the configuration of the sleeve shaped housing 14 and the ramming unit 15, together with the function of the tool, will be described in further details below, referring to the Figures 4-17 .
- Figures 4 and 5 show two views of the sleeve shaped housing 14, seen from either side of the housing 14.
- the sleeve shaped housing 14 is at its rear end at the upper side, provided with an elastic lip 18, the outer end of which being provided with a downwards into the opening 16 projecting knob 19.
- the knob 19 is intended to cooperate with a slot in the ramming unit 15 in order to establish the two extreme positions of the ramming unit 15.
- one wall on the sleeve shaped housing 14 extends beyond the remaining three walls, forming a projection 21.
- the projection 21 is provided with two upwards projecting edges 22.
- the length of the projection 21 may preferably be less than the thickness of the electrical wire intended to be fixed to a wall, while the height of the edges 22 may preferably be slightly higher than the thickness of the clamp 10.
- one side wall of the sleeve shaped housing 14 may also be provided with a surface or a tongue 25 intended to project into the opening 16. The tongue 25 will be described in further details below, referring inter alia to Figures 10 and 13 .
- Figure 8 shows an assembled tool comprising a sleeve shaped housing 14 and the ramming unit 15.
- one end of the ramming unit 15 is intended to rest against a clamp 10, said end being provided with an attached clamp driver 24 made of metal.
- the purpose of the clamp driver 24 is to rest against the central aperture 13 in the clamp head in order to secure that the ramming force produced by the ramming unit 15 is transferred directly from the ramming unit 15 to the clamp 10 in controlled manner so that the head 12 of the clamp 10 is not unintentionally deformed.
- Figure 9 shows a view of the end of the tool 14 intended to rest against a clamp 10a-10d.
- the ramming unit 15 is provided with a ramming clamp driver 24.
- the clamp driver 24 is arranged on the surface of the ramming unit 15 sliding along the extended surface wall 21.
- Figure 10 shows a vertical section through a sleeve shaped housing 14, also showing the opening 16 extending centrally through the housing 16, the extended wall section 21 and the upwards extending side edges 22.
- one of the walls of the sleeve shaped housing 14 is provided with a surface or a tongue 25, which at the end adjacent to the extended surface 21, is pivotably hinged about an axis.
- the tongue 25 is intended to partly pivot about the axis, so that the tongue 25 partly will swing into the opening 16 extending through the housing 14. In such position, extending into the opening 16 of the housing 14, the tongue 25 will rest against the ramming unit 15.
- the purpose of the tongue 25 is to retain the clamp in the opening 16, so that the clamp does not unintentionally drop out of its seating. Such effect is achieved due to the tongue 25, causing a reduction in the free cross sectional area of the opening 14, whereby the clamp is "wedged" in the opening.
- Figures 11-13 show side views of three of the four sides of the sleeve shaped housing 14.
- the side which is not shown, is the bottom side of the sleeve shaped housing 14.
- the rotational axis of the tongue 25 may preferably be arranged at the outer surface of a wall of the sleeve shaped housing 14.
- the axis may for example be in a form of weakening or attenuation; or may be in form of a partly slot 27 in the wall material.
- Figures 14 and 16 show a side view of the tool according to the invention, where Figure 14 shows the tool with the ramming unit 15 in one extreme position, while Figure 16 shows the same view where the ramming unit 15 is retracted to its opposite extreme position.
- Figures 15 and 17 show a corresponding top view of the tool where the two extreme positions of the ramming piston 15 are illustrated.
- the ramming unit 15 may be moved so far that the tip of the clamp driver 25 just protrude outside the extended wall 21.
- the ramming unit 15 may be retracted so far into the opening 16, that the end of the ramming piston 15 is positioned in the area of the free end of the tongue 25.
- Such features are also illustrated in Figure 19 , showing a section seen along the line B-B in Figure 16 .
- one side surface of the ramming unit 15 is provided with an elongated slot 28.
- the length and position of the slot 28 in the ramming unit 15 are such that they restrict the total possible distance of movement of the ramming unit 15 inside the opening 16 of the sleeve shaped housing 14.
- the slot 28 cooperates with the knob 19 arranged on the flexible, movable tip 18.
- the ramming unit 15 may preferably have a larger cross sectional area at the end where the clamp driver 24 are arranged, that the remaining part of the ramming unit, the transition between the two different cross sectional areas being even.
- the part of the ramming unit 15 having an increased cross sectional area may extent approximately to the nearest end of the elongated slot 28, preferably a small distance beyond the nearest end.
- two parallel side walls of the sleeve shaped housing 14, at the ramming end 17 of the housing be provided with two constrictions, so that the end of the ramming unit having a reduced cross sectional is resting against said constrictions.
