Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adjustable pliers including a lever mechanism which allows modification of the spacing between the jaws of adjustable pliers which are commonly used in plumbing work or the like.
  • adjustable pliers which are constructed from two arms that are joined together and that pivot relative to one another by virtue of a hinging spindle. This spindle is fixed to one of the two arms and is displaceable along a stepped slot provided in the other arm, by means of which it is possible to vary the opening between the jaws.
  • adjustable pliers which comprise two arms, pivoting relative to one another on a spindle that is displaceable in a slot and insertable, by means of a stepped arrangement, at a different height in one of the two arms.
  • a problem of those conventional pliers lies in the security of firmly holding the arms in position relative to one another and in releasing them in a manner that is simple and secure for the operator.
  • adjustable pliers which comprise a displaceable active arm having a transverse recess with two flanks between which there is located a passive arm which has a longitudinal slot provided with successive drilled holes.
  • Pliers of this kind incorporate a mechanism of push-button type in the active arm and, as a result of pressing said button in the axial direction, a displaceable spindle having a diameter corresponding to the holes drilled in the longitudinal slot of the passive arm is disengaged. Accordingly, internal sliding of one arm over the other is achieved, and consequently regulation of the distance between the jaws.
  • That system has the disadvantage that it is necessary to keep the button depressed during both the jaw-closing and the jaw-opening action, which results in its not being very convenient for work to be carried out using said tool, as it takes a long time to prepare the pliers in order to adjust the jaws to the thickness or diameter of the part, the user being required to use both hands in order to adjust the distance between the jaws.
  • the present invention relates to an adjustable pliers as defined by claim 1.
  • the rotatable catch has two extreme positions which correspond to the two extreme positions of the radial lever, one being an activated position in which the radial lever is positioned parallel to the longitudinal slot and, therefore, the tooth arrangement of the rotatable catch is located in the corresponding inclined tooth arrangement of the longitudinal slot.
  • the second position corresponds to the deactivated state, in which the radial lever is rotated in the anticlockwise direction and, therefore, the rotatable catch is disengaged from the corresponding inclined tooth arrangement of the longitudinal slot. Accordingly, the user can, by means of a movement in the longitudinal direction of the slot, slide the displaceable active arm over the passive arm, as there is in said longitudinal slot a slideway against which the sliding edge of the displaceable spindle rests. By means of this configuration, guidance in the sliding of one arm over the other is achieved and also the hinging pin function when the rotatable catch is activated.
  • the inclined tooth arrangement of the longitudinal slot results in pliers being obtained which can be adjusted to as many positions as there are teeth in the longitudinal slot, making it an ideal tool for plumbing work or the like, where pipes of different diameters are continually being manipulated.
  • Another advantage of the formation of the subject-matter of the invention is that it is formed from simple elements with a low manufacturing cost. Those elements which constitute the lever mechanism are located protected in the interior of the transverse recess with two flanks of the displaceable active arm and between the longitudinal slot of the passive arm, as a result of which damage to the tool is avoided in the event of its being dropped and also its entanglement with other tools in a confined space, for example a tool-box. Another characteristic to be noted is that there is obtained a dismantlable mechanism, which saves the tool from being thrown away in the event of one of the arms, jaws or lever mechanism elements breaking.
  • the passive arm (3) of the adjustable pliers (1) has been shaded with dots.
  • the accompanying drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the subject-matter of the invention relating to a lever mechanism for adjustable pliers (1), of a kind which has a displaceable active arm (2) having a transverse recess with two flanks (2a) between which there is located a passive arm (3) which has a longitudinal slot (4) provided with at least one inclined tooth arrangement (4a), there being fixed to the displaceable active arm (2) a displaceable spindle (6) which slides along the longitudinal slot (4).
  • Figures 1 , 2 and 3 illustrate the subject-matter of the invention, consisting of said displaceable spindle (6) having an engaging configuration of a shape corresponding to an engaged orifice (5a) of a rotatable catch (5) which has, on one side, a catching tooth arrangement (5b) facing the inclined tooth arrangement (4a) of the longitudinal slot (4), and the rotatable catch (5) has, on the opposite side, a resilient spring (8); the displaceable spindle (6) has, in its upper part, a radial lever (7) located in the proximity of the thumb of the user.
  • FIG. 5 shows adjustable pliers (1), the jaws (10) thereof having been adjusted to a pipe (11) of a predetermined diameter, and wherein it can be seen that the displaceable active arm (2) has been moved so that the rotatable catch (5) has been fixed in the corresponding inclined tooth arrangement (4a) of the longitudinal slot (4).
  • the displaceable spindle (6) is a non-cylindrical body having a shape corresponding to the engaged non-circular orifice (5a) of the rotatable catch (5).
  • the non-cylindrical body of the displaceable spindle (6) for example, Figure 6 shows the displaceable spindle (6) incorporating at least one transverse projection (6a) and in Figure 7 it can be seen that said displaceable spindle (6) incorporates at least one transverse cut-away portion (6c).
  • Another optional embodiment consists of the engaging configuration of said displaceable spindle (6) being accomplished by means of a pin.
  • the resilient spring (8) is preferably lodged in part inside a recess (9) provided in the rotatable catch (5).
