Definitions

  • a pair of pliers is a two-legged tool in which the action points press against each other.
  • Pliers basically consist of three components, namely the handles, the joint and the pliers head. They work according to the leverage principle. Two two-sided levers are connected by a joint. As a rule, the handles form the longer lever arms, the shorter lever arms form the pliers head. According to the law of leverage, the force applied to the handles hand force is amplified and transmitted by means of the pliers head on a workpiece.
  • Pliers as they are the basis of this invention are manifold, especially used as a water pump pliers.
  • Water pump pliers are grippers with adjustable sliding joint, so that different opening widths of the mouth can be adjusted. They are mainly used for gripping pipes, sleeves and screws / nuts of various types, but also of flat material etc.
  • the U.S. Patent US 3,534,641 discloses a forceps consisting of two forceps arms. On the first tong arm a first jaw is firmly formed. A second jaw is slidably disposed on the first gun arm on one side.
  • the first gun arm has a section with a support surface perpendicular to the tong pivot axis.
  • the second jaw is designed so that it engages around the support surface of the first gun arm with a groove-shaped contact surface.
  • a locking slot is further provided, in which a screw designed as a pivot pin is arranged with a locking mechanism.
  • the second tong arm engages this pivot pin in the second movable jaw for power transmission. While the second forceps arm is arranged on one side of the first forceps arm, the second forceps jaw is correspondingly provided on the opposite side of the first forceps arm.
  • the second tong arm can be adjusted with the second jaw for coarse adjustment in the locking slot. By operating the pliers, the second forceps jaw is displaced according to the lever travel along the power transmission portion.
  • the known pliers have the disadvantage that they have many places where a user can clamp, for example, during coarse placement of the pliers and when accessing.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to train the known pliers and to give the better protection against injury to the user.
  • the invention is based on the principle of designing the positive guidance in such a way that the guidance of the movable forceps jaw runs as far as possible protected. This is achieved in particular by guiding the second tong arm and the movable forceps jaw in a longitudinal slot, which largely protects the user against jamming injuries.
  • the longitudinal slot conceals, as far as possible, the parts of the forceps that could injure a user, especially when adjusting the forceps.
  • the forced operation is shifted into areas that do not come into contact with the user when setting and when operating the pliers.
  • the latching mechanism is formed from the slot parallel to the positive guide and from at least one latching tooth provided on the pivot pin.
  • the tongs are roughly adjusted to a suitable jaw width. The adjustment is made by moving the pivot pin in the slot parallel to the forced operation.
  • the locking tooth helps that the pivot pin in a position, for example by wedging, can be determined.
  • the slot parallel to the positive guide has a toothing for locking the latching tooth, which stabilizes the latching mechanism.
  • the forceps of the invention is advantageously designed by the locking mechanism is provided on two opposite sides of the longitudinal slot.
  • the force is not distributed unilaterally on a longitudinal slot side, but symmetrically on both opposite longitudinal slot sides.
  • the force is directed to one side of the longitudinal slot, which can lead to deformations under heavy use due to the imbalance. Due to the symmetrical arrangement, a uniform loading of the pliers takes place, which can lead to an increased life of the pliers.
  • the latching mechanism is biased by a spring.
  • the locking mechanism can not easily be released from its position.
  • To adjust the pliers for coarse adjustment is thus always required to unlock the latching mechanism against a spring force.
  • the user of the tool can therefore no longer hurt so easily, because inadvertently loosens upon actuation of the locking mechanism automatically, which can lead to jamming or slipping of the pliers.
  • the joint between the second forceps arm and the second movable forceps jaw is formed by a shoulder-shaped projection integrally formed on the end of the second forceps arm and engaging in a suitable recess of the second forceps jaw.
  • a preferred variant of the forceps according to the invention finally results when the joint between the second forceps arm and the second movable forceps jaw is covered by protective means to the outside.
  • a protective sheath not only prevents dirt from entering the joint, but also that an area is protected in which a pliers user could get stuck
  • a pliers 10 according to the invention is shown in side view in a schematic schematic diagram.
  • the forceps 10 has a first forceps arm 12 and a second forceps arm 14.
  • Each tong arm 12, 14 has at a handle end 16, 18 via a handle 20, 22.
  • a first jaw 26 is firmly formed.
  • the second tong arm 14 is pivotally connected to the first tong arm 12 about a pivot pin 28.
  • a pivot axis 29 is defined, see also Fig. 3rd
  • a second forceps jaw 30 is slidably disposed in a portion 32 of the first forceps arm 12. About a hinge 34, the second gun arm 14 and the second jaw 30 are movably coupled to each other.
  • the joint 34 consists, as is clear in FIG. 2, of a recess 36 and a shoulder-shaped projection 40 integrally formed on the end 38 of the second tong arm 14 facing away from the handle side.
  • the first tong arm 12 has in the section 32 via a longitudinal slot 42 perpendicular to the pivot axis 29. Through this longitudinal slot 42, the second gun arm 14 and an integrally formed on the second jaw 30 guide nose 44 are guided.
  • the first gun arm 12 also has a detent mechanism 46.
  • the detent mechanism 46 is formed from the pivot pin 28 and two detent slots 48, 50.
  • the two latching slots 48, 50 are respectively located on opposite sides 52, 54 of the longitudinal slot 42.
  • the latching slots 48, 50 each have a toothing 56, 58 into which a latching tooth arrangement 60 engages for latching.
  • the latching tooth arrangement 60 is provided spring-loaded on the pivot pin 28. In order to make a coarse adjustment of the forceps 10, the locking tooth arrangement 60 is moved out of the toothing 56, 58 against the spring force with a suitably provided push button 59.
  • the pivot pin 28 can then be moved with the second gun arm 14 and the second movable jaw 30 within the locking slots 48, 50.
  • the longitudinal slot 42 of the first gun arm 12 has two opposite bearing surfaces 62, 64.
  • the bearing surfaces 62, 64 are arranged parallel to the pivot axis 29 and parallel to the locking slots 48, 50.
  • the provided on the front and back of the first gun arm 12 flat bearing surfaces 62, 64 surround on their side in each case the longitudinal slot 42.
  • the second movable jaw 30 has on its side facing the longitudinal slot 42 via a trained as a projection first contact surface 66th Dieteur
  • the longitudinal slot 42 projecting guide nose 44 has correspondingly second contact surface 68, which is also designed as a button-like projection 69.
  • the contact surface 68 points to the bearing surface 64.
  • the support surfaces 62, 64 together with contact surfaces 66, 68 form a positive guide 70.
  • the positive guide 70 allows the movable second jaw 30 to slide only along the support surfaces 62, 64, as on a rail.
  • Fig. 1 with a circle 72 a region marked, which is shown enlarged in Fig. 2.
  • a portion of section 32 is shown in this figure with a portion of the compressed jaws 26, 30.
  • the second movable jaw 30 here shows the molded guide nose 44, which is guided through the longitudinal slot 42.
  • the contact surface 68 can be seen as a button-like projection 69 on the one, protruding from the longitudinal slot 42 end.
  • the contact surface 66 and the abutment surface 68 guide the second movable forceps jaw 30 along the bearing surfaces 62, 64 in the portion 32 of the first forceps arm 12.
  • the second forceps jaw 30 is supported by the positive guide 70 thus formed.
  • the pliers arms 12, 14 are pivoted about the pivot pin 28 for applying a leverage force acting on the pliers jaws 26, 30.
  • the second gun arm 14 engages in the articulated connection 34, which consists of the integrally formed shoulder-shaped projection 40 and the recess 36.
  • the second jaw 30 is guided only along the positive guide 70 upon actuation of the tool.
  • the joint 34 requires a corresponding game in the recess 36 so that these movements can be completed.
  • the recesses 36 is normally not visible and hidden from the outside, so that in particular clamping injuries and soiling can be avoided.
  • the pivot pin 28 is guided by the guide, which is formed by the two opposing locking slots 48, 50 conceivable.
  • the latching tooth arrangement 60 is manufactured in such a way that it engages in the toothing 56, 58 of the latching slots 48, 50 in the latched state. With springs 74, is biased into the latching tooth arrangement 60. By pressing the push button 59, the latching tooth arrangement 60 is pressed out of the toothing 56, 58. Thereby, the pivot pin 28 in the locking slots 48, 50 are moved back and forth for coarse adjustment. By releasing the push button 59 engages the ratchet assembly 60 in any detent position for a desired forceps jaw width.
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic schematic diagram of a front view of the forceps according to the invention 10. This drawing is intended primarily to illustrate that the longitudinal slot 42 is formed by the first gun arm 12, through which the second gun arm 14 protrudes.
  • the pliers arms 12 and 14 are pivotable about the pivot axis 29, which is formed by the pivot pin 28, for actuating the tool. Otherwise, the same components of the pliers 10 are referred to as in the previous figures with corresponding reference numerals.
