Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-pliers tool according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Hand-pliers tools of the type in question are known. These are used in particular in the form of crimping pliers application for the radial compression of compacts, such as sanitary fittings or for pressing cable connections, this while reducing the tube or sleeve diameter.
  • Such pliers tools are manually operated, correspondingly have two hand lever, wherein a hand lever is pivotally connected to one of the jaws and the other hand lever possibly rigid with the other jaw. It is also known in this regard to achieve an improved leverage over a knee lever training between the hand levers, so as to achieve the required high compression forces on the compact by means of relatively low actuation forces.
  • a hand-pliers tool in which cooperate about a common axis of rotation jaws on a arranged on a hand lever support roller and arranged on the other hand lever cam part.
  • a hand-held upright pressing of the hand lever in the area of the support roller and cam part is required.
  • the invention is concerned with the task of specifying a hand-pliers tool of the type mentioned, which also allows favorable handling with regard to placement with press inserts.
  • the support roller is movable relative to a hand lever. This further in the sense of a rotatable arrangement on the hand lever. This ensures that the support roller moves in the course of a pincer movement, further in particular in the course of a pliers closing movement of the curve part, so on along a curved path whose length is adapted to the Zangensch enjoyed- or Verpressvorgang.
  • a forceps opening curve part and support roller do not necessarily cooperate with each other, may be spaced according to each other with the lifting of the toggle lever.
  • the support roller is preferably rotatably supported on the hand lever, this further with a rotation axis, which is preferably offset in space parallel to the axis of rotation of the jaws.
  • support roller is also an example of a cylindrical body or lever projection to see, which is not rotatably supported, but quite cooperates with the curve part.
  • the curve part is continuously convexly curved in the interaction region, wherein the curvature can be defined by a uniform radius. Alternatively, a radius that changes over the length of the curvilinear side interaction area is provided. As an alternative, the curve part may also be partially concavely curved in the interaction region.
  • the curve part is removably attached to the hand lever.
  • curve parts with different curvatures can be used.
  • the support roller can also be interchangeably attached to the other hand lever be, for example, to offer different support role diameter.
  • the cam member be secured to the hand lever pivotally connected to a jaw so that the bearing point of the support roller mounted on the other hand lever and the pivot point between the movable hand lever and jaw are the outer points of the bell crank and the roll point, i. the contact point between support roller and cam part, the third point, i. further in a figurative sense, the knee joint.
  • the curve of the curve part forms a slope over which the ratio of the two legs of the toggle lever can be influenced, these legs themselves always take a fairly favorable angle of extension.
  • the cam member may also be attached to the other hand lever, which is rigidly connected to the associated jaw, while the support roller is mounted on the hand lever pivotally connected to a jaw.
  • the curve part is further preferably formed on a support portion which is part of the one hand lever and protrudes toward the opposite hand lever. Also, alternatively and moreover, in combination, the support roller on the other hand lever in the region of an opposite hand lever projecting bracket portion be attached so that, for example, a support of curve part and support roller below the jaws rotation axis, further approximately centered between the hand levers established.
  • the support portion may be formed integrally with the hand lever in a further embodiment, for direct action on the cam member via the associated hand lever.
  • the support portion is provided separately from the hand lever, in which respect it is further proposed that the support portion relative is pivotable to the hand lever and the hand lever acts in forceps closing direction or in particular in the course of forceps closing via a ratchet training entianad on the support portion.
  • the hand lever on a pivotable ratchet lever which cooperates with a toothing of the support portion.
  • the support roller may be adjustable to change the toggle lever relative to the hand lever in which it is mounted, so as to change the support point on the opposite cam part.
  • a hand-operated adjustment can be provided to change the positioning of the support roller axis.
  • Preferred in this regard is an embodiment in which the support roller is mounted eccentrically to achieve the adjustability. Adjustment axis and rotation axis of the support roller are therefore arranged eccentrically to one another. The adjustment can be made directly by means of a tool by the user. It is conceivable in this regard, a solution in which the adjustment can be achieved without tools.
  • the hand lever learn in the course of the pliers closing movement a guide by supporting the support roller on the cam part.
  • a guide by supporting the support roller on the cam part.
  • the hand lever in the region of cooperation on the support roller or the cam part by means of a slotted guide tied together.
  • This slotted guide is the shape that the rolling support of the support roller can be achieved in the curve part in the course of pliers closing operation without necessarily the slide guide acts on the translation.
  • the ratchet lever can be forcibly relocated for interrupting, for example, a mis-pressing by means of a tool or the like in a release position, so that even before the end of the actual pressing operation, an opening of the pliers legs can be achieved.
  • it is expedient to interpret the forced restraint so that first the jaws must be moved to a maximum forceps jaw opening position.

  • the press inserts 12 are inserted from a pincer jaw broadside in the associated receiving portion 11, wherein a radially expanded collar 13 of each press insert 12 in cooperation with the broad side of the pliers jaw 6, 7 forms a stop limit.
  • each press insert 12 is provided with a circumferential groove 14. In this engages to secure the press inserts 12 in the receiving position designed as a surface part securing element 15 a.
  • This is rotatably supported in the region of the hinge pin 9, wherein the axis of rotation is aligned in extension of the hinge pin axis 9.
  • the securing element 15 has a cooperating with the groove 14 sheet 16 and a blade 16 diametrically opposite handle 17.
  • a central forceps jaw axis extends parallel to the hinge axis of the hinge pin 9 in the mouth closing position.
  • the forceps jaws 6 and 7 can be angled, in particular in the region of the forceps 10, out of the plane defined by the broad side of the forceps jaws 6 and 7, so that the forceps jaw axis corresponding to the hinge axis occupies a particular acute angle.
  • a favorable power transmission via the hand lever 4 and 5 applied to the jaws 6 and 7 forces is achieved by a favorable hand lever / jaw length ratio.
  • the effective lever length, in particular of the fixed pliers part 2, measured from the hinge axis x of the hinge pin 9 to the not shown, opposite end of the hand lever 4 is about 15 times the distance between the hinge axis x and the jaw axis y.
