Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pipe or water pump pliers, comprising a) a bracket with a first shaft-shaped handle part, at one end of a first jaw with a gripping surface is provided b) a stem with a second shaft-shaped handle portion, at one end a second jaw c) a pivot axis about which the bracket and the stem are formed pivotable against each other, wherein the pivot axis is slidably formed by means of an adjusting mechanism, d) the adjusting mechanism has a toothed slot in the bracket has, in which a likewise toothed locking body engages in a first position for locking, wherein the locking body is formed displaceable in a second position in the toothed slot.
  • a pipe wrench is the classic tool for plumbing and heating and ventilation and is used for working on pipes, as well as the fasteners used in the pipe installation (sleeves, union nuts, etc.).
  • the pipe wrench is by its lever mechanism self-clamping, while a knurled nut of the lower lever arm, the jaw width of the pipe wrench so that the handle and the bracket no longer need to be compressed to grip the workpiece firmly.
  • the bracket is moved.
  • the forceps must be implemented, and the position of the gripper teeth is designed only for working in one direction.
  • Pipe wrenches differ in their function. One distinguishes pipe wrenches after alignment of the mouth (90 ° or 45 °) and the shape of their jaws (straight shape, for gripping objects with parallel surfaces, such as nuts, a straight, a bulged shape, for gripping objects with parallel Surfaces or round objects and s-shaped for gripping round objects).
  • Another modification is the pipe wrench with stepless quick adjustment.
  • the jaw width is not varied over the knurled nut, but by simply moving the pliers limb in the open state and by snapping it on a rack in the closed state.
  • German Patent DE 699 29 952 T2 discloses a pipe wrench consisting of two nipper bodies.
  • the pliers body carry clamping jaws, which rotate with each other about an axis of rotation and are displaceable against each other on a recess provided on one of the pliers body.
  • the axis of rotation includes a detent pawl, which is a one-sided multi-toothing and an actuating arm to unlock the teeth on request of the user.
  • the pawl has a spring which locks the teeth until the actuating arm is moved by the spring strikes against the arm on which a groove is provided.
  • DE 10 2006 010 234 AI describes a pipe wrench with a protected forced operation.
  • the pipe wrench consists of a first and a second pliers leg.
  • the first pliers leg has a longitudinal slot. Through this longitudinal slot of the second pliers legs and a molded onto a second jaw guide nose are performed.
  • the first pliers limb furthermore has a latching mechanism, which is formed from the slot parallel to the positive guide and from at least one latching tooth provided on the pivot pin.
  • the positive guide is located on the movable pliers jaw and is formed by two parallel to the pliers pivot axis and laterally opposite the first pliers leg, flat bearing surfaces.
  • a pipe wrench is known in which the stem and the bracket can be moved in a guide against each other.
  • the jaws At one end of the handle or bracket are respectively the jaws and at the other end is the grip shaft.
  • the guide consists of an element with a slot.
  • the guide which is formed by the slot, is curved in the direction of the jaws. As a result, the jaws have an optimal position to each other.
  • the element itself forms with its outer surface a part of the gripping surface and is correspondingly toothed like the gripping surfaces of the jaws.
  • the pivot axis is slidably formed by means of an adjusting mechanism in a slot of the stem.
  • the oblong hole has a curvature opposite to the direction of gripping.
  • the German utility model DE 200 20 980 Ul shows a water pump pliers, wherein the gripping surfaces of the jaws form a diamond-shaped opening.
  • the hinge axis about which the handle of the water pump pliers is designed to be pivotable, is provided in a slot of the bracket of the pliers displaceable for coarse adjustment of the pliers jaws.
  • German utility model 1600060 shows a water pump pliers in which the gripping surfaces of the pliers jaws form two diamond-shaped gripping openings.
  • the hinge axis of the bracket is slidably and adjustably arranged in a toothed slot of the handle.
  • the object is achieved in that in a pipe or water pump pliers of the type mentioned in the f) the slot has a curvature in the gripping direction of the jaw and g) the gripping surfaces of the jaws form a diamond-shaped gripping opening.
  • the invention is based on the principle that the gripping surface is always optimally positioned to the workpiece. With the diamond-shaped gripping opening, the gripping jaws set directly on a workpiece from several sides. Due to the curvature of the oblong hole in the gripping direction, the gripping surfaces are positioned almost optimally with respect to one another for gripping the workpiece already during coarse adjustment. As a result, the pliers grip the workpiece over a large area.
  • the mouth of the pipe or water pump pliers according to the invention provides extra space for gripping in the open state. As a result, the pliers can be better attached to the workpiece to be gripped.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the pipe or water pump pliers according to the invention is achieved in that the two gripping openings have different sizes.
  • the pipe or water pump pliers can better grip workpieces of different dimensions.
  • the gripping recesses form a diamond-shaped gripping opening in the closed state of the pliers jaws.
  • the diamond-shaped gripping opening can be easily produced and encloses practically all workpieces optimally.
  • a preferred embodiment of the pipe or water pump pliers according to the invention results from the fact that a clamping protection is provided, which consists of a Recess and / or curvature is formed on the bracket and a complementary projection on the stem.
  • a clamping protection is provided, which consists of a Recess and / or curvature is formed on the bracket and a complementary projection on the stem.
  • This anti-jamming prevents over all detent positions that a user pinches his fingers when accessing between the stem and the bracket.
  • this clamp protection of the pipe or water pump pliers according to the invention is formed only half-side. In this case, the recess and the complementary projection of the clamp protection are only provided on each side of the handle or on the bracket. This not only provides additional stability, but also partially prevents the fingers from getting themselves into the clamp protection.
  • a further preferred variant of the invention is that the bracket and / or the handle have a bump as slip protection. Such a bump prevents a user from sliding off the handle and is a feature due to the increased safety of such a tool.
  • Fig. 1 shows a pipe wrench according to the invention from a first side.
  • Fig. 2 shows a pipe wrench according to the invention in use.
  • Fig. 3 shows a pipe wrench according to the invention from a second side.
  • a pipe wrench 10 according to the invention is shown from a first side.
  • the pipe wrench 10 has a bracket 12 with a first shaft-shaped handle portion 14, at one end 16 of a first jaw 18 with a gripping surface 20th is provided.
  • the bracket 12 cooperates with a stem 22.
  • the stem 22 has a second shaft-shaped grip part 24, at one end 26 of which a second forceps jaw 28 is arranged.
  • the second forceps jaw 28 has a gripping surface 30, which is designed to be complementary to the gripping surface 20 of the first forceps jaw 18.
  • the bracket 12 and the stem 22 are formed pivotable about a pivot axis 32 against each other.
  • the pivot axis 32 can be moved by means of an adjusting mechanism 34.
  • the adjusting mechanism 34 has a toothed slot 36 in the bracket 12.
  • the slot 36 is curved in the direction of the jaws 18, 28.
  • the curvature of the slot 36 causes the jaws 18, 28 are optimally guided to each other to a workpiece at each width of the jaws 18, 28 can grip firmly.
  • the pivot axis 32 can be moved to coarse adjustment (see also Fig.2).
  • the pivot axis 36 is seated in a toothed detent body 38.
  • the tooth width of the detent body 38 corresponds to that of the elongated hole 36, so that the toothings can each interlock.
  • the locking body 38 engages in a first position for locking.
  • the toothed detent body 38 is slidably formed in the toothed slot 36 (see also Fig. 2).
  • the locking body 38 can be moved axially: Once in a locked position and once out of the detent position.
  • the locking body 38 is further formed such that it allows the pivoting of the bracket 12 and the stem 22 against each other. This is realized, for example, by a suitable joint.
  • a pin or a pin on the stem 22 is provided which is pivotally mounted in a sleeve.
  • the sleeve is a part of the toothed detent body 38.
  • the gripping surfaces 20, 30 form two diamond-shaped recesses 39. These diamond-shaped recesses serve to be able to enclose a workpiece 42 (see FIG. 2) with a larger area during gripping. As a result, the workpiece 42 is loaded more uniformly when gripping. The workpiece 42 can thus be used more firmly as a whole, because the acting forces distribute more evenly. By different size of the two diamond-shaped recesses 39 differently sized workpieces 42 can be better grasped. Depending on requirements, either the one or the other diamond-shaped recess 39 is used. 44 denotes a clamp protection.
  • the clamping protection 44 consists of a projection 46, which is arranged on the stem 22, and a corresponding complementary recess or curvature 48 in the bracket 12.
  • both the projection 46, as well as the complementary recess 48 executed only half-sided. This has a stabilizing effect on the handle design. But it is also conceivable that such a clamp protection 44 is not formed only half-sided.
  • Another safety aspect in addition to the clamp protection 44 consists in a designed as Abruttik hump 50, which is arranged on the handle 22 and on its handle part 24. The bump 50 helps to prevent a user's hand from slipping off the grip part 24 by the bump 50 limiting the grip area for the hand.
  • FIG. 2 the use of a pipe wrench 10 according to the invention is shown.
  • the stem 22 is shown in two positions 40, 40 '.
  • the first position is the position 40 at which the jaws 18, 28 are closed.
  • the pivot axis 32 in the upper part of the slot 36.
  • the second position 40 ' the tubular workpiece 42 is gripped.
  • the pivot axis 32 is displaced in the lower part of the slot 36.
  • the stem 22 is here in a suitable pivoting position about the pivot axis 32. This allows the gripping of the workpiece 42nd
  • FIG. 2 the pipe wrench 10 is shown from a second side.
  • the reference numerals correspond to the previous drawings.
  • the clamp protection 44 consists of the projection 46, which is arranged on the stem 22, and the corresponding complementary recess or curvature 48 in the bracket 12. This serves as a stop when operating the pipe wrench 10.
  • both the projection 46, and the complementary recess 48 executed only half-sided. This has a stabilizing effect on the handle design. In each detent position of the detent body 38 in the slot 36 prevents a user's fingers when pressing the pipe wrench between the bracket 12 and the stem 22 is stuck.
