Definitions

  • the present patent application relates to a termination tool for telecommunication copper wires.
  • the product catalogue " Accessories for Copper Communication Networks, Page 71, Corning Cable Systems, Edition 1, year 2000” discloses a termination tool for telecommunication copper wires.
  • This termination tool comprises a basic body having a first end and a second end.
  • a connecting element for connecting unconnected telecommunication copper wires with contacts of a distribution element by punching the copper wires into distribution element contacts.
  • a hook-like disconnecting element is attached to the first end of the basic body for disconnecting connected telecommunication copper wires from contacts of a distribution element by removing the copper wires from the distribution element contacts.
  • the second end of the basic body serves as a handle.
  • This termination tool also comprises a basic body having a first end and a second end, where the connecting element is attached to the first end of the basic body and where the disconnecting element is attached to the second end of the basic body.
  • the disconnecting element is pivotably attached to the second end of the basic body so that, in a first relative position of the same relative the basic body, the disconnecting element can be used for the disconnection function of the termination tool and that, in a second position of the same relative the basic body, the second end of the basic body serves as a handle.
  • US 4 241496 A shows a common arrangement in which a tool has two blades, one of which can be stored at one end of the tool while the other is in use at the other end of the tool.
  • US 4 306 349 A shows a tool having a reversible blade 4.
  • the termination tools known from the prior art can only be used to establish a connection of unconnected telecommunication copper wires with a defined kind of distribution element contacts, especially with a defined kind of IDC (Insulation Displacement Contacts) contacts. Due to the fact that different manufactures of distribution elements use different kinds of IDC contacts and that the known termination tools can only be used to establish connections of unconnected telecommunication copper wires with one kind of IDC contacts, installers need a huge number of different termination tools for their installation work in the field. When using a wrong termination tool, namely when using a termination tool having a connecting element being adapted to a defined kind of IDC contacts to establish connections of copper wires with a different kind of IDC contacts, the IDC contacts can be damaged or destroyed.
  • the present application is based on the problem of providing a novel termination tool being suitable for establishing connections of unconnected telecommunication copper wires with different kinds of contacts of a distribution element so that the number of termination tools needed by installers can be decreased.
  • the termination tool comprises a basic body having a first end and a second end.
  • a first connecting element adapted for connecting unconnected telecommunication copper wires with a first kind of distribution element contacts
  • a second connecting element adapted for connecting unconnected telecommunication copper wires with a second kind of distribution element contacts
  • a third connecting element adapted for connecting unconnected telecommunication copper wires with a third kind of distribution element contacts
  • the termination tool can be used to establish connections of unconnected telecommunication copper wires with at least three different kinds distribution element contacts so that the number of termination tools needed by installers can be decreased.
  • the first connecting element is fixedly attached to the first end of the basic body.
  • the first connecting element is designed in such a way that the same is adapted for establishing connections of unconnected telecommunication copper wires with the majority of distribution element contacts installed in the field.
  • the second connecting element and the third connecting element are both provided by a common head being turnably attached to the second end of the basic body, where, in a first relative position of the common head relative to the basic body, the same provides the second connecting element, and where, in a second relative position of the common head relative to the basic body, the same provides the third connecting element.
  • the second connecting element and the third connecting element are designed in such a way that the same are adapted for establishing connections of unconnected telecommunication copper wires with two other kinds of distribution element contacts installed in the field.
  • the termination tool comprises a cover being attachable to the first end of the basic body and to the second end of the basic body, where when the cover is attached to the first end of the basic body, the cover covers the first connecting element so that the first end of the basic body serves as handle, and where when the cover is attached to the second end of the basic body, the cover covers the second and third connecting elements so that the second end of the basic body serves as handle.
  • a cover being attachable to the first end of the basic body and to the second end of the basic body, where when the cover is attached to the first end of the basic body, the cover covers the first connecting element so that the first end of the basic body serves as handle, and where when the cover is attached to the second end of the basic body, the cover covers the second and third connecting elements so that the second end of the basic body serves as handle.

  • the first connecting element 14 is preferably fixedly attached to the first end 12 of the basic body 11.
  • the first connecting element 14 is adapted for establishing connections of unconnected telecommunication copper wires with the majority of distribution element contacts installed in the field by punching the respective copper wires into respective distribution element contacts.
  • the first connecting element 14 comprises two contacting legs 15 and 16 (see Figure 3 ).
  • the contacting legs 15 16 have recesses 17, 18 receiving copper wires when punching the copper wires into respective distribution element contacts. Both contacting legs 15 and 16 are fixedly attached to the first end 12 of the basic body 11.
  • a hook-like disconnecting element 19 for disconnecting connected telecommunication copper wires from contacts of a distribution element by removing the copper wires from the distribution element contacts.

  • the hook-like disconnecting element 19 In a first status of the screw-like securing element 20, the hook-like disconnecting element 19 is moveable relative to the basic body 11, and in a second status of the screw-like securing element 20, the relative position of the hook-like disconnecting element 19 is fixed.
  • the relative movement of the hook-like disconnecting element 19 in linear direction of the basic body 11 relative to the same is defined by an oblong hole 21 within the hook-like disconnecting element 19 into which the screw-like securing element 20 is projecting.
  • a first cutting element 38 is also attached to the first end 12 of the basic body 11 to which the first connecting element 14 is attached.
  • the cutting element 38 can be used to cut excess wire length of the copper wires.

Further on, and a third connecting element 23 being adapted to connect unconnected telecommunication copper wires with a third kind of distribution element contacts is attached to the second end 13 of the basic body 11.
  • the second connecting element 22 and the third connecting element 23 are both provided by a common head 24.
  • a first relative position of the common head 24 see Figure 4a
  • the same provides the second connecting element 22.
  • a second relative position of the common head 24 see Figure 4b
  • the same provides the third connecting element 23.
