Definitions
- the invention relates to a pipe wrench with adjustable mouth width.
- the pipe wrench has a first pincer part with an outer pincer jaw, a finger-side pincer grip and a lever extension extending therebetween. Furthermore, a second pliers part is provided with an inner pliers jaw and a palm-side pliers handle. Finally, the pipe wrench comprises a pivot pin, which connects the two pliers parts crossing each other.
- Pipe wrenches in various embodiments and purposes are known in the art. Pipe wrenches are by their lever mechanism z. B. in contrast to
- Self-locking water pump pliers As a result, when the jaw width is set roughly, the two clamp arms no longer have to be pressed together in order to grip the workpiece firmly. To rotate the gripped workpiece only has to be pressed on the ergonomically shaped upper pliers handle, which lies in the palm of the user. Pipe wrenches are usually designed in lengths from 250 to 700 mm and with jaw widths up to 130 mm. A special construction method uses the displacement of a pliers limb for the adjustment of the gap width.
- DE 196 03 507 discloses a pipe wrench having two crossing pliers legs.
- a support member which is articulated on the first pliers limb and has an internal toothing, an adjustment and locking of the two mutually movable pliers limbs is realized.
- the jaw opening is fixed by the engagement of the internal toothing of the support member in a counter-toothing of the second Pliers leg.
- a disadvantage of this pipe wrench is that to readjust the jaw width, the two gripper handles must be pressed far apart to adjust the pliers in a low-wear manner. Furthermore, the pliers realize no toggle, so that the force is limited to the clamped workpiece.
- a water pump pliers with adjustable jaw width is known, with two crossing forceps parts, which are rotatably connected by a hinge pin.
- the pliers allow the adjustment and gradual locking of the two pliers parts.
- a slot-shaped opening is provided, which is attached to a pliers part and has a sawtooth-toothed rack.
- the rack toothing is associated with a counter toothing, which is fixedly mounted on the hinge pin.
- the counter-toothing is adjustable in the direction of the course of the crests of the tooth tips against the force of a spring, between a locked and an unlocked position.
- the hinge pin fulfills a dual function as a carrier of the counter-toothing and as a bearing of the two pliers parts.
- DE 199 24 664 shows a pair of pliers which consists of two pliers parts which are adjustable, crossing and connected to each other by means of a rotary joint.
- a support member is guided on the first pliers part.
- the second pliers part articulated by hinge pins.
- a mutual adjustment and gradual locking of the two pliers parts is realized by a locking device.
- a locking element which is located in the pliers handle, is equipped with a toothing, which engages in the sawtooth-toothed rack of the support member.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved pipe wrench with quick adjustment, which avoids the disadvantages explained.
- an easy-to-use and low-cost design is sought, which simplifies the technological process in the production of pipe wrench.
- the pipe wrench according to the invention allows a quick and easy adjustment of the jaw width and brings by using a toggle lever high forces on the clamped workpiece, without requiring an excessive expenditure of force by the user. At the same time, the production cost of the pipe wrench is drastically reduced, without the stability of the pliers is deteriorated. - A -
- the pipe wrench according to the invention comprises a first pliers part and a second pliers part, which are crossing and rotatably connected to each other by means of a hinge pin.
- the first pliers part has an outer pliers jaw and a finger-side pliers handle, and an intermediate lever extension with a back-side section.
- this lever extension runs a first slot, which has an axial orientation.
- the first pliers part has a first offset, which connects the two sections of the lever extension and leads to an axial offset between these two sections.
- the second pliers part has an inner pliers jaw, a palm-side pliers handle and a fürfädelabrough extending therebetween, which lies in the main plane of extension.
- the fürfädelabites provides a fürfädelö réelle that allows the threading of the finger-side pliers handle and the lever extension of the first pliers part to cross the Zangemaschine.
- An advantage of this embodiment is that the width of the palm of the palm-side forceps handle of the second pliers part need not be limited, since this part does not need to be threaded through the other pliers part, as is common in known pliers. This allows a better power transmission from the user via the palm-side tong grip on the jaw. Furthermore, the arrangement of the fürfädelabitess in the second pliers part is advantageous because the threading of the narrower finger-side pliers handle and the lever extension through the fürfädelö réelle is possible without additional complicated processing processes incurred, such as the spreading and subsequent compression of the fürfädelö réelle. Despite dispensing with such forming processes, both pliers parts can be manufactured in one piece.
- the pipe wrench further comprises a support member which is supported on a handle-side portion of the lever extension of the first pliers part and comprises a locking means.
- the locking means allows a locking or unlocking of the support point of the support member to move the support point along the handle-side portion of the first pliers part.
- the pliers parts In the unlocked position, the pliers parts can be adjusted to each other in the axial direction, so as to achieve a quick preset the jaw width on the workpiece.
- the default setting is advantageously done in one go.
- the locking means is preferably a locking bolt having a toothed portion and a non-toothed portion.
- the toothing on the locking bolt extends, for example, only on an axial portions of the length of the locking bolt, so that between locked and unlocked position by axial displacement of the locking bolt can be switched.
- the unlocking of the lock can be achieved in which the user actuates the locking bolt.
- the lock shifts Lung bolt perpendicular to the main extension plane of the pliers in the second slot.
- the unlocked position is maintained as long as the user exerts a force on the locking bolt. If the user releases the locking pin, it returns to the locking position due to a spring force which is advantageously applied to a spring element.
- a spring element may for example be a leaf spring.
- unlocking of the lock is achieved in which the user with one hand pivots the support member about its backside bearing point.
- the toothing between the locking bolt and the second slot which has only one longitudinal side of a row of teeth in this design dissolves.
- the first pliers part can now be moved in the axial direction to achieve a new adjustment of the mouth width.
- An advantage of this design is the easy setting of the appropriate jaw width (automatic quick-release). If the user attaches the pipe wrench to the workpiece at, for example, maximum opening of the jaw opening and lets go of the first pliers part, the toothed region of the locking bolt ratchets past the inner toothing of the second oblong hole. The first pincer part moves downwardly in the axial direction, whereby the workpiece is immediately clamped between the two pincer jaws and the user can start working.
- a quick adjustment of the jaw width is possible. It is advantageous if a slightly greater distance remains between the palm-side forceps grip and the finger-side forceps handle, which allows rapid gripping of the palm-side forceps grip.
- This user-friendly grip distance is through a torsion spring supported, which is arranged around the articulation of the support member at a second offset of the second pliers part. In this case, a first spring leg press against the support member and a second press against the second crank of the second pliers part.
- the support member has a stop lug which abuts when closing the pipe wrench on the handball-side pliers handle of the second pliers part to ensure a minimum distance between the pliers handles at all jaw opening widths.
- FIG. 1 shows an illustration of a first embodiment of a pipe wrench according to the invention
- Fig. 5 a detailed view of a support member of the second
- Embodiment in three views; 6 shows a detailed representation of the first pliers part of the second embodiment.
- Fig. 1 shows an overview of a first preferred embodiment of a pipe wrench Ol.
- the pipe wrench Ol comprises a first pliers part 02 and a second pliers part 20, which are shown in Figs. 2 and 3 in detail.
- the first pliers part 02 has an outer pliers jaw 04, a finger-side pliers grip 06 and an extending therebetween lever extension 08, which in turn is divided into a back-side portion 10 and handle-side portion 12. Between the back-side portion 10 and the handle-side portion 12 extends a first crank
- the first crank 13 extends approximately at an angle of ⁇ 45 ° to the adjacent sections of the lever extension 08.
- first slot 14 In the back-side section 10 of the first pliers part 02 extends in the axial direction, a first slot 14, which assumes a leadership function.
- a hinge pin 16 which extends through the first slot 14 in the first pliers part 02 and through a guide bore 18 in the second pliers part 20, the first pliers part 02 and the second pliers part 20 are interconnected and rotatably connected to each other.
- the pliers parts 02, 20 remain displaceable in the axial direction against each other.
- the second tong part 20 comprises an inner forceps jaw 22, a palm-side forceps handle 24 and a thread-through portion 26 extending therebetween.
- the thread-through portion 26 has a feedthrough opening 27 which lies in the main plane of extension of the pliers and extends between the two dashed lines 27a (FIG. 2). In this area, the thread-through section is thus formed by two opposing material plates, between which the feed-through opening 27 extends.
- the finger-side pincer grip 06 has an outer end face 07, which is oriented perpendicular to the main extension plane and is wider than the remaining section of the finger-side pincer grip, so that it has a T-shape in cross-section.
- a bulge 29 is provided in the back side portion 10 of the feedthrough opening 27, whose free cross section is greater than that of the feedthrough opening.
- a second crank 28 to which a support member 30 is articulated with its back-side end.
- the second crank 28 is angled relative to the fürfädelabrough 26 about 60 ° to 80 °.
- the linkage may e.g. done with a bolt 31.
- the pin 31 Relative to the longitudinal axis of the pliers parts, the pin 31 is located slightly closer to the pliers jaws than the pivot pin 16, about which pivot the pliers parts.
- the bolt 31 is closer to the second pliers jaw 22 than the pivot pin 16.
- this is about a locking means 32 on the handle side
- Section 12 of the lever extension 08 of the first pliers part 02 supported.
- the locking means 32 formed support point along the handle-side portion 12 variable to move the two pliers 02, 20 axially to each other and thus adjust the jaw width between the two jaws 04, 22.
- the locking means 32 can assume two positions for unlocking or locking the support point of the support member 30 on the grip-side portion 12 of the lever extension.
- the lock can be unlocked by the user actuating a locking pin 38 having a toothed portion and a non-toothed portion disposed one behind the other along the axis of the locking pin 38.
- the locking pin 38 shifts perpendicular to the main extension plane of the pliers in the second slot 34, so that the toothed portion of the locking pin out of engagement with the internal teeth 36 in the second slot 34 passes.
- a spring element for example a leaf spring 44, is arranged so that its spring force urges the locking bolt 38 into the locking position.
- Fig. 4 shows a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the pipe wrench 01 according to the invention.
- the essential difference from the first embodiment described above lies in the design of the locking means 32 and in the manner of unlocking and locking.
- the lock is unlocked by the user, the user pivots the support member 30 about the bolt 31 in the direction of the hand-side pliers handle 24 of the second pliers part 20.
- the locking between the locking means 32 and the second slot 34 is released, and the first Zangeteil 02 can be moved in the axial direction.
- the support member 30 is pivoted back by spring force and the toothed portion of the locking means 32 engages in the only one-sided internal toothing of the second elongated hole 34 here.
- Fig. 5 shows three views of the support member 30, as used in the second embodiment of the pipe wrench.
- the support member has a stop lug 47 which abuts when closing the pipe wrench 01 on the palm-side pliers handle 24 of the second pliers part 20.
- the support member has a slightly curved U-shape, each on the backside End and at the handle end has a bore, wherein a first bore 49 for articulation on the second crank 28 of the second pliers member 20 is used and a second bore 50 of the attachment of the locking means 32 is used.
- FIG. 6 shows a detailed representation of the first pliers part 02 used in the second embodiment, which differs from the embodiment described above only in that only a one-sided inner toothing is attached in the second slot 24.
