Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pair of pliers according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such pliers have already become known. It is for example on the DE 10 2006 024 296 A1 directed.
  • the known pliers is designed as a side cutter pliers. It may also be, for example, a Mittenschneider- or a combination pliers.
  • the pivot point of the enforced pliers leg is very far away from the median plane.
  • the pliers are only designed as grasping forceps.
  • a pliers is known in which the pliers legs are superimposed.
  • To adjust a hinged to the one pliers limb adjustment part is provided which is gradually displaceable in the first pliers limb.
  • From the US 1,729,695 A a pliers is known in which only one of the pliers legs forms a grip area and a work area. This pliers leg includes another pliers leg, which has no grip area.
  • a plugged pliers is known whose mouth opening is gradually adjustable.
  • the purpose provided pivot pin is centrally received in the direction of extension of the through-slot of the enforced pliers limb.
  • a receiving area for the pivot pin is offset on one side with respect to an extension of the through-slot.
  • the fact that the pivot pin is offset from the center the formation of the through-slot can be made cheaper.
  • the receiving area for the pivot pin is conveniently accessible from this side for editing.
  • a substantial transection of the through-slot be made. A milling tool used for this purpose can thus be moved continuously in this area.
  • a geometric axis of the pivot pin relative to a perpendicular to the median plane in the direction of this perpendicular i. in a projection of the pivot pin in the direction of the vertical on the laterally formed to the pivot pin portion of the enforced pliers leg, is arranged in registration to an unslotted portion of the enforced pliers limb.
  • the enforced pliers limb perpendicular to the pivot pin is not severed in full coverage to the pivot pin.
  • the stability is favorably influenced.
  • the through-slot is formed in the region of the pivot pin, at least partially, in juxtaposition to a non-severed region of this pliers limb.
  • the through-slot of the enforced pliers leg on the back side has an edge line which, starting from the mid-plane, slopes down to a free end of this pliers limb.
  • the through-slot is thus partially, namely facing the center plane, in this forceps leg working area side further developed as in a more remote from the center plane area.
  • the back-side edge of the through-slot extends in said longitudinal section curved.
  • the peripheral edge viewed from the center plane, runs concavely.
  • peripheral edge of the through-slot assigned to the free end of the passed-through pliers limb extends in the said longitudinal cross-section with the pliers closed to the middle plane.
  • the course of the peripheral edge associated with the free end portion of the pliers limb is thus mirror-like, at least with regard to the basic course, to the course of the peripheral edge in the working area-side end of the through-slot.
  • peripheral edge of the through-slot which is associated with the free end, preferably extends curved and beyond preferably, as seen from the median plane, concave.
  • a further preferred embodiment provides that the working area-side limitation of the through-slot of the enforced pliers leg in the open position of the pliers forms a stop for the enforcing pliers leg. Due to the design of the end region, the opening characteristics of the pliers can be easily adjusted. In addition, this attack is also deprived of immediate access. There is practically no danger of pinching.
  • the slot depth, relative to a perpendicular to the center plane in the closed state of the pliers is smaller on a line of the geometric axis of the pivot pin than in an adjoining, offset to the free end of the pliers limb area.
  • the slot depth, measured in the specified manner, on a line of the geometric axis of the pivot pin is more than twice, preferably more than three times the diameter of the pivot pin.
  • An upper limit may be given, for example, at a 5 times the diameter of the pivot pin. Offset in the extended area to the free end of the forceps leg, said measure expands again in a range of 1/4 to twice the radius of the pivot pin.
  • the preferred, at least in a central region, designed as a regular cylinder body hinge pin may for example have a diameter in the range of 3 to 9 mm.
  • the gripping areas of the pliers legs can also be accommodated in each case in a handle cover.
  • the gripping sleeves are particularly preferably designed such that they give the encompassing hand with respect to both pliers legs equal thickness.
  • a grip sheath is therefore preferably made of reinforced material.
  • the material reinforcement may initially be given in terms of a larger material thickness.
  • it can also be given in the sense of a built-in grip handle reinforcing element, alternatively or additionally.
  • the handle covers on the above-mentioned DE 10 2006 024 296 A1 See, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated in full in the present application, also for the purpose of incorporating features of said application into claims of the present application.
  • the gripping region of the penetrating pliers limb it is also preferable in the present context for it to have a width and possibly a thickness which corresponds at most to the slot width. However, it can also be provided that a slightly larger width is given. In any case, to the extent that an insertion of the enforcing pliers limb in the enforced pliers limb is still feasible without a complex heating process, but only by means of a cold deformation, which may also include a plastic cold deformation.
  • it can be a width of the forceps leg, which is about 2 to 3 mm larger than the slot width.
  • ranges and ranges of values given above and below also include all intermediate values, in particular in 1/10 increments of the respective dimension, for example 1/10 mm, on the one hand to delimit the mentioned range limits from below and / or above, alternatively or additionally but also with regard to the disclosure of one or more singular values from the respective area.
  • range limits which are dimensionlessly specified, in which case numerical values as such, whether as limitations and / or as singular numerical values, are included in the disclosure.
  • a pair of pliers 1 with two pliers limbs 2, 3, which are pivotally connected to each other in a pushed through, an axially fixed pivot pin 4 having.
  • the pliers legs 2, 3 form on one side of the pivot pin 4 jaws 5, 6, with, in the embodiment, working areas 7, 8 in the form of cutting.
  • On the other side of the pivot pin 4 handle portions 9,10 are formed.
  • the hinge pin 4 is shown in the embodiment on one side with a thin flat head and on the other hand formed with a (small) countersunk head. It can also be formed on both sides of such a countersunk head.
  • the pivot pin 4 in its cylindrical portion a diameter of 5 mm. Basically, for example, be realized in this respect diameter of 3 to 6 mm.
  • One of the pliers legs in the embodiment of the pliers legs 3, is provided with a through slot 11, through which the other pliers leg 2 is inserted therethrough.
  • the jaws 5, 6 have at least partially a larger width b, see. approximately Fig. 2 , as it corresponds to the slot width s.
  • the grip portion 10 of the penetrating pliers leg 2 has a width B (dimension in the direction of the geometric axis of the pivot pin 4), see, for example Fig. 6 , on, the maximum, in the embodiment exactly, the slot width s corresponds (on the other hand, as mentioned earlier, could also be a larger width B realized here).
  • the through-slot 11 is provided between slot walls 20, 21 extending parallel to each other.
  • the jaws 5, 6 and the working areas 7, 8, specifically in the embodiment, the cutting tips of the working areas, are to be pivoted to a common center plane E out. It is preferred that the cutting tips with closed pliers, Fig. 1 . 4 , lie in this middle plane E together
  • the pivot pin 4 is in accordance with the center plane E in plan view Fig. 1 , in which the center plane E emerges as a line, arranged laterally offset.
  • the offset dimension v, relative to the geometric center axis g of the pivot pin 4 corresponds in the exemplary embodiment to a dimension that corresponds to the radius dimension of the pivot pin 4 designed as a cylinder body.
  • a peripheral edge 15 of the end region of the through-slot 11 runs together with this center plane almost at a point 16 or an area of lesser wall thickness assigned to the joint-side end of the cutting edges.
  • the point 16 is located above the pivot pin 4.
  • the edge runs in the illustration according to Fig. 4 descending from the point 16 towards the free end 13 or 14 of the pliers legs.
  • the peripheral edge 15, seen from the center plane E concave curved running formed.
  • the peripheral edge 15 is located on a common circular line 17 located to the free end 13 of the forceps leg 3 facing the end of the peripheral edge 18 of the through-slot 11th
  • a radius of the circular line 17 corresponds to the multiple of the width s of the through-slot 11.
  • the radius corresponds approximately to 13 times the width s. It is preferable that the radius is in the range of 5 to 20 times the free dimension s of the through-slot.
  • the peripheral edge 18 also extends in a curved manner, as seen from the pivot pin 4, and concave.
  • FIG. 5 shows, the peripheral edge 15, here the outside edge-side tip 19, a stop for the enforcing pliers leg 2 in the open position.
  • a slot depth t 1 measured on the vertical S, is smaller than a slot depth t 2 in an adjoining, to the free end 13 of the enforced pliers arm 3 in an offset area.
  • t 2 is about 15% greater than t 1 .
  • the hatched areas of the slot walls 20, 21 are cantilever-like in the manner of a balcony.
