Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sliding elastic flat bar used as an elastic recovery device in the tools comprising two articulated arms, particularly pliers or clamps of any type.
  • the elastic recovery systems may have different arrangements depending on the system to be used.
  • the two articulated arms tool provided with a worm-like spring is very well-known in this field.
  • This arrangement provides a recovery to its initial state once the tool is closed, but prevents the cancellation of this function since the spring is fixed in two cavities corresponding to its diameter in the upper portion of the handle arms.
  • this type of spring has the drawback of getting jammed or stuck easily by the user's fingers or by other tools since they are stored together within a confined space such as a toolbox.
  • the present invention proposes an elastic recovery device for two articulated arms tools, particularly pliers and clamps, characterized in that one of the handle arms houses an sliding elastic flat bar having a pressing protuberance and at least a fixing protuberance being likely to be against a backward window and at least a forward window, corresponding to the backward and forward positions matching the deactivated and activated states of the sliding flat bar.
  • This solution enables the possibility of working using a two articulated arms tool in two different ways; with elastic recovery and without elastic recovery, both working ways being easy and fast to be arranged.
  • a movement usually using the thumb in the longitudinal direction to one of the handle arms, is usually performed through the pressing protuberance being housed in the pressing window.
  • This movement which may be upwards or downwards depending on the position the sliding elastic flat bar is meant to be oriented, makes the fixing protuberance be housed in any of the existing windows and, therefore, in two different positions corresponding to the activation and deactivation state enabling the extremely easy and effective use of the tool by the user for two different purposes.
  • the user may wish to use the tool as a fixing method in some cases, the recovery of the tool being inadvisable.
  • the pressing protuberance and the fixing protuberance of the elastic flat bar are folds of the arrangement, enabling a simple production since the incorporation of additional pieces for such protuberances is not required.
  • the housing of the sliding elastic flat bar is foreseen to be performed between the arm cavity and the plastic sleeve, wherein the pressing window, the forward window and the backward window are located.
  • an intermediate forward window is foreseen to house the fixing protuberance determining an intermediate activated state.
  • the inclusion of an intermediate window enables the user to house the fixing protuberance in such window, the tool having an appropriate opening to be used with materials having smaller thicknesses or cables having smaller diameters. This arrangement enables the user to cut or hold cables or pieces more accurately since the performance force on the handle arms is smaller.
  • an elastic recovery device for two articulated arms tools (1) particularly pliers or clamps
  • an sliding elastic flat bar (3) is housed in one of the handle arms (2) having a pressing protuberance (2) and a fixing protuberance (5) likely to be against a forward window (8) or a backward window (10), corresponding to forward and backward positions, respectively, matching the activated and deactivated state of the sliding elastic flat bar (3).
  • This arrangement enables the operator to work using a single tool (1) in two different ways; with elastic recovery and without elastic recovery, resulting in an easy, fast and solid use in both positions.
  • a movement by means of the thumb in a longitudinal direction to one of the handle arms (2) is performed through a pressing protuberance (4) as a push button, located in the pressing window (7).
  • a pressing protuberance (4) as a push button, located in the pressing window (7).
  • the movement will be upwards or downwards implying that the fixing protuberance (5) is housed in the forward window (8) or in the backward window (10).
  • the pressing protuberance (4) and the fixing protuberance (5) of the sliding elastic flat bar (3) are folds of the arrangement. Such folds shaping the sliding elastic flat bar (3) are obtained through a stamping process being fast and low cost of manufacturing. Another important feature is the material and thickness given to the sliding elastic flat bar (3) conferring the optimum durability and resistance features.
  • FIG. 1 and figure 3 Another special feature of the invention seen in the figure 1 and figure 3 is the fact that the housing of the sliding elastic flat bar (3) is carried out between an arm cavity (12) and the plastic sleeve (11), wherein the pressing window (7), the forward window (8) and the backward window (10) are located. In specific moments or where the elastic recovery is not required in certain tasks, the sliding elastic flat bar (3) remains within the arm cavity (12) without causing any discomfort to the user, such as snags in clothes or even small cuts in fingers.
  • a supporting hill (13) of the sliding elastic flat bar (3) is located on the upper portion of the arm cavity (12).
  • This geometry of the arm cavity (12) makes the sliding elastic flat bar (3) play the required recovery flexure for the elastic recovery, since by colliding of the upper portion of the handle arm (2) with the performance head (6) of the sliding elastic flat bar (3), the latter is deformed performing an spring effect against the supporting hill (13) and it is elastically recovered by opening the tool in the moment the sliding elastic flat bar (3) stops exerting force.
