Abstract

The invention relates to pliers (1), comprising two plier legs (2, 3) and a jaw opening (M) formed by jaws (7, 8), wherein retaining elements (9) that can be rotated relative to a jaw (7, 8) are arranged in the jaw opening (M) in order to grasp ends of a spring clamp (11) and the plier legs (2, 3) are connected to each other in an intersection region (4). According to the invention, in order to provide pliers for installing or removing spring clamps that are ergonomically designed as favorably as possible with regard to hand forces to be applied, the plier legs (2, 3) can be adjusted relative to each other in steps in the intersection region (4) in order to change the size of the jaw opening (M).

Description

Zange  tongs
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zange mit zwei Zangenschenkeln und einem durch Maulbacken gebildeten Zangenmaul, wobei in dem Zangenmaul relativ zu ei- ner Maulbacke drehbare Halteelemente zur Erfassung von Enden einer Federbandschelle angeordnet sind und die Zangenschenkel in einem Kreuzungsbereich miteinander verbunden sind. The invention relates to a pair of pliers with two pliers legs and a pliers jaw formed by jaws, wherein in the forceps jaw rotatable holding elements for detecting ends of a spring band clamp are arranged relative to a mouth jaw and the forceps arms are connected together in an intersection region.
Derartige Zangen sind bereits in vielfältiger Hinsicht bekannt geworden. Es wird bspw. auf die DE 92 16 463 Ul und die EP 0 677 357 AI (US 5590573 A) verwiesen. Bei den bekannten Zangen zur Montage einer Federbandschelle ist mitunter aufgrund einer großen Öffnungsweite des Zangenmauls eine große Öffnung der Zangenschenkel im Griffbereich gegeben. Auch sind im Hinblick auf die gewünschte große Öffnungsweite des Zangenmauls keine günstigen Hebel Verhältnisse erreichbar. Such pliers have already become known in many ways. Reference is made, for example, to DE 92 16 463 U1 and EP 0 677 357 A1 (US Pat. No. 5,590,573 A). In the known pliers for mounting a spring band clip is given due to a large opening width of the forceps jaw a large opening of the pliers legs in the grip area. Also, in view of the desired large opening width of the forceps jaw no favorable lever ratios can be achieved.
Ausgehend von dem vorgenannten Stand der Technik beschäftigt sich die Erfindung mit der Aufgabenstellung, eine Zange zur Montage oder Demontage von Federbandschellen anzugeben, die ergonomisch, im Hinblick auf aufzu- wendende Handkräfte möglichst günstig gestaltet ist. Based on the aforementioned prior art, the invention is concerned with the task of specifying a pliers for mounting or dismounting of spring band clamps, which is ergonomically designed as low as possible with regard to hand-applied forces.
Eine mögliche Lösung der Aufgabe ist nach einem ersten Erfindungsgedanken bei einer Zange gegeben, bei welcher darauf abgestellt ist, dass die Zangenschenkel zur Veränderung der Größe des Zangenmauls in dem Kreuzungsbe- reich stufenweise zueinander verstellbar sind. A possible solution of the problem is given according to a first inventive thought in a pair of pliers, in which it is geared to the fact that the pliers legs are stepwise adjustable to each other to change the size of the forceps jaw in the crossing region.
Die stufenweise Verstellbarkeit ermöglicht sehr günstige Hebelverhältnisse. Zur Anpassung an größere oder kleinere Federbandschellen kann das Zangen- maul in dem Kreuzungsbereich verstellt werden. Die Länge der Zangenschenkel bzw. die das Zangenmaul bildenden Backenteile können mit vergleichsweise geringer Ausladung gegenüber dem Kreuzungsbereich bzw. Gewerbebereich der Zange ausgebildet sein. The stepwise adjustability allows very favorable leverage ratios. To adapt to larger or smaller spring band clamps, the clamp maul be adjusted in the crossing area. The length of the pliers limbs or the jaw parts forming the forceps jaw can be formed with a comparatively small projection with respect to the crossing area or commercial area of the forceps.
Derartige Zangen sind an sich, ohne die genannten Halterungselemente, bereits auch in verschiedener Hinsicht bekannt geworden. Es wird insbesondere auf die EP 0 528 252 AI (US 5845551 A) und die WO 2008/049850 AI (US 20100064861 AI) verwiesen. Solche Zangen sind grundsätzlich auch als Wasserpumpenzangen bekannt. Die Verwendung einer solchen Wasserpumpenzange zur Montage von Federbandschellen, unter Vorsehung von Halteelementen zur Erfassung der Enden der Federbandschelle im Zangenmaul, ist ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung. Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind nachstehend auch in der Figurenbeschreibung der Zeichnung oftmals in ihrer bevorzugten Zuordnung zu dem bereits vorstehend erläuterten Konzept beschrieben bzw. dargestellt, sie können aber auch in einer Zuordnung zu nur einem oder mehreren einzelnen Merkmalen, die hier beschrieben oder zeichnerisch dargestellt sind, oder unabhängig oder in einem anderen Gesamtkonzept, von Bedeutung sein. Such pliers are already known, without the said support elements, already in various respects. Reference is made in particular to EP 0 528 252 A1 (US Pat. No. 5,845,551 A) and WO 2008/049850 A1 (US Pat. No. 20100064861). Such pliers are basically also known as water pump pliers. The use of such a water pump pliers for mounting spring band clamps, under the provision of holding elements for detecting the ends of the spring band clip in the forceps jaw, is a further aspect of the invention. Further features of the invention are also described below in the figure description of the drawing often in their preferred assignment to the already explained above concept or illustrated, but they can also be assigned to only one or more individual features that are described here or illustrated , or independently or in any other overall concept, be significant.
So ist es bevorzugt, dass ein Halterungselement mit einer mittigen Vertiefung und umgebend hierzu umf angsmäßig verteilten drei oder mehr Spitzenbereichen ausgebildet ist. Wesentlich ist, dass ein Halterungselement damit sowohl geeignet ist, das eine wie das andere Ende einer Federbandschelle, die unterschiedlich gestaltet sind, halternd aufzunehmen. Während das eine Ende einer Federbandschelle gewöhnlich einen schmaleren, hakenartigen Fortsatz aufweist, weist das andere Ende der Federbandschelle einen die gesamte Breite des Federbandes gewöhnlich einnehmenden Flach-Endbereich auf. Dadurch, dass weiter bevorzugt die Halterungselemente auch untereinander gleich ausgebildet sind, bevorzugt gleiche Teile sind, ergibt sich auch diesbezüglich eine Vereinfachung, auch in der Handhabung der Zange. Der Benutzer muss nicht dar- auf achten, welches Ende der Federbandschelle er beim Aufnehmen der Federbandschelle welcher Maulbacke des Zangenmaules zuordnet. Thus, it is preferable that a support member having a central recess and surrounding thereto circumferentially distributed three or more tip portions is formed. It is essential that a support member so that it is both suitable for receiving the one and the other end of a spring band clamp, which are designed differently, halternd. While one end of a spring band clamp usually has a narrower, hook-like extension, the other end of the spring band clamp has a full width of the Federbandes usually engaging flat end area on. The fact that, more preferably, the support members are also formed equal to each other, preferably the same parts, also results in this regard, a simplification, even in the handling of the pliers. The user does not have to pay attention to which end of the spring band clamp he assigns which mouth jaw of the forceps jaw when receiving the spring band clip.
Zudem ist bevorzugt, dass ein Halterungselement in seiner Breite an die Breite der Maulbacke angepasst ist. Insbesondere ist bevorzugt, dass ein Halterungs- element nicht oder nur unwesentlich in Breitenrichtung über die Maulbacke vorsteht. In addition, it is preferred that a holding element is adapted in its width to the width of the mouth jaw. In particular, it is preferred that a mounting element does not project or protrudes only slightly in the width direction over the mouth jaw.
In weiterer Einzelheit ist bevorzugt, dass ein Halterungselement vier Spitzenbereiche aufweist. Darüber hinaus sind die Spitzenbereiche, insbesondere die ge- nannten vier Spitzenbereiche, auch umfangsmäßig mit gleichem Umfangsab- stand verteilt vorgesehen. In further detail, it is preferred that a holding element has four tip regions. In addition, the tip regions, in particular the four tip regions mentioned, are also distributed circumferentially at the same circumferential distance.
Nicht zuletzt ist auch bevorzugt, dass eine Schließstellung des Zangenmauls arretierbar ist. Dies kann bspw. durch an sich bekannte Arretierungsbügel im Bereich der Zangenschenkel erreicht sein. Not least, it is also preferred that a closed position of the forceps jaw can be locked. This can be achieved, for example, by known per se Arretierungsbügel in the region of the pliers legs.
Nachstehend ist die Erfindung anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung, die jedoch lediglich ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellt, erläutert. Hierbei zeigt: Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht der Zange; The invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrates only one embodiment, explained. 1 shows a perspective view of the pliers;

Dargestellt und beschrieben ist, zunächst mit Bezug zu Fig. 1, eine Zange 1 mit zwei Zangenschenkeln 2, 3, die in einem Kreuzungsbereich 4 gelenkartig miteinander verbunden sind. Auf einer Seite formen die Zangenschenkel 2, 3 Griffbereiche 5, 6 aus, die, wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel, von Griffhüllen überdeckt sein können. Anderseitig des Kreuzungsbereichs 4 formen die Zangenschenkel 2, 3 Maulbacken 7, 8 aus, die ein Zangenmaul M bilden. Die Maulbacken 7, 8 weisen weiter zugeordnet ihren freien Enden Halterungselemente 9, 10 auf, zur Halterung einer Federbandschelle 11, siehe Figuren 2, 3. Shown and described is, first with reference to Fig. 1, a pair of pliers 1 with two pliers legs 2, 3, which are connected in an articulated region in an intersection region 4. On one side, the forceps arms 2, 3 form grip regions 5, 6, which, as in the exemplary embodiment, can be covered by grip sleeves. On the other side of the crossing region 4, the pliers limbs 2, 3 form jaw jaws 7, 8, which form a forceps jaw M. The mouth jaws 7, 8 have further associated with their free ends holding elements 9, 10, for supporting a spring band clamp 11, see Figures 2, 3rd
In weiterer Einzelheit weist der eine Zangenschenkel 2 einen zumindest auf einer seiner inneren Längsseiten mit einer Verzahnung 12 versehenen Verstellschlitz 13 auf, der sich in Längsrichtung des Zangenschenkels 2 erstreckt. Der andere Zangenschenkel 3 ist im Kreuzungsbereich 4 mit einer Aufnahme 14 für einen Gelenkbolzen 15 ausgebildet. Der Gelenkbolzen 15 ist im Ruhezustand, wie etwa in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, in Verzahnungseingriff mit der Verzahnung 12. Die Maulweite, bezogen auf einen Abstand des Gelenkbolzens 15 zu der oberen feststehenden Maulbacke 7, ist fixiert. Gleichwohl können die Maulba- cken 7 und 8 noch relativ zueinander, durch Verschwenken des Zangenschenkels 3 relativ zu dem Zangenschenkel 2, verschwenkt werden. In a further detail, the one pliers limb 2 has an adjustment slot 13 provided with a toothing 12 at least on one of its inner longitudinal sides, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the pliers limb 2. The other pliers leg 3 is formed in the crossing region 4 with a receptacle 14 for a hinge pin 15. The hinge pin 15 is at rest, as shown in Fig. 2, in meshing engagement with the teeth 12. The jaw width, based on a distance of the hinge pin 15 to the upper fixed jaw 7, is fixed. Nevertheless, the Maulba 7 and 8 still relative to each other, by pivoting the pliers leg 3 relative to the pliers leg 2, are pivoted.
Zur Verstellung der Zangenmaulweite ist es gemäß einer Ausführungsform erforderlich, den Gelenkbolzen 15 niederzudrücken. Im niedergedrückten Zustand ist der Verzahnungseingriff aufgehoben und die Zangenschenkel 2, 3 können frei zueinander verstellt werden. Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform ist es jedenfalls möglich, aus einer größeren Stellung zu einer kleineren Stellung die Verstellung der Zangenmaulweite zu erreichen, ohne dass es erforderlich ist, den Gelenkbolzen niederzudrücken. Es ergibt sich ein ratschendes Überlaufen, wie in der WO 2008/049850 AI (US 20100064861 AI), vgl. insbesondere Figuren 1 bis 6 und zugehörige Beschreibung, in weiterer Einzelheit bspw. erläutert. Jedes Halterungselement 9, 10 ist frei drehbar in einer Zangenmaulbacke 7 bzw. 8 aufgenommen. Prinzipiell kann aber auch, aufgrund der hier vorgesehenen kronenartigen Ausbildung eines Halterungselements 9, 10, ein feststehendes Halterungselement 9 und/ oder 10 vorgesehen sein. Mit Bezug zu Fig. 5 ist die Aufnahme eines Halterungselementes 9 in einer Zangenmaulbacke 7 dargestellt. To adjust the forceps jaw width, it is according to an embodiment required to depress the hinge pin 15. In the depressed state, the meshing engagement is canceled and the forceps arms 2, 3 can be freely adjusted to each other. In another embodiment, it is in any case possible to achieve the adjustment of the forceps jaw width from a larger position to a smaller position, without it being necessary to depress the hinge pin. There is a ratcheting overflow, as in WO 2008/049850 Al (US 20100064861 AI), see. in particular Figures 1 to 6 and associated description, in further detail, for example, explained. Each support member 9, 10 is freely rotatably received in a forceps jaw 7 and 8 respectively. In principle, however, a fixed holding element 9 and / or 10 can also be provided on the basis of the crown-like design of a holding element 9, 10 provided here. With reference to FIG. 5, the receptacle of a holding element 9 in a forceps jaw 7 is shown.
Die Zangenmaulbacke 7 weist eine quer zu ihrer Öffnungsrichtung verlaufende Bohrung 18 auf, in welcher ein Halsabschnitt 19 des Halterungselementes 9 aufgenommen ist. Der Halsabschnitt 19 weist in weiterer Einzelheit eine umlaufende, bodenseitig gerundete Nut 20 auf. In einer Querbohrung 21 zu der Bohrung 18 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel zur drehbaren Halterung des Halterungselementes 9 ein Splintstift 22 aufgenommen, der ein Herausnehmen des Halterungselementes 9 hindert, gleichwohl aber eine Drehung des Halterungselementes 9 ermöglicht. The forceps jaw 7 has a transverse to its opening direction bore 18, in which a neck portion 19 of the support member 9 is received. The neck portion 19 has in further detail a circumferential, bottom-side rounded groove 20. In a transverse bore 21 to the bore 18, a split pin 22 is added in the embodiment for the rotatable mounting of the support member 9, a removal of the Retaining element 9 prevents, but nevertheless allows rotation of the support member 9.
Der gegenüber dem Halsabschnitt 19 durchmessergrößere Kronenbereich 23 sitzt außen auf der zugeordneten Fläche der Maulbacke 7 auf. The opposite of the neck portion 19 larger diameter crown portion 23 sits outside on the associated surface of the jaw 7.
Ein Halterungselement 9, 10 ist in weiterer Einzelheit in Fig. 6 dargestellt. A retaining element 9, 10 is shown in more detail in Fig. 6.
Wesentlich ist, dass eine mittige Vertiefung 16 des Halterungselements 9, 10 beim Ausführungsbeispiel von vier Spitzenbereichen 17 umgeben ist. Wie strichpunktiert angedeutet ist, können auf diese Art sowohl Enden Ei, die breiter sind, als es der Breite b des Halterungselements entspricht, hierin sicher aufgenommen werden, wie auch Enden E2 einer Federbandschelle, die schmaler sind als es der Breite b entspricht. Sie tauchen dann in die Vertiefung 16 ein und sind so in der Vertiefung 16 gehaltert. It is essential that a central recess 16 of the support member 9, 10 is surrounded in the embodiment of four tip portions 17. As indicated by dash-dotted lines, in this way both ends, which are wider than the width b of the support element, can be securely received therein, as can ends E 2 of a spring band clip, which are narrower than the width b. They then dive into the recess 16 and are held in the recess 16.
Zwischen den Spitzenbereichen 17 sind bodenseitig im Profil gerundete Ein- senkungen 24 ausgebildet, die vorzugsweise in dem genannten Profil kreisab- schnittförmig verlaufen. Die Enden Ei sitzen ersichtlich nur auf den Einsen- kungen 24, während die Enden E2 mittig und tiefer in die Vertiefung 16 eingreifend einsitzen können. Rounded recesses 24 are formed in the profile on the bottom side between the tip regions 17 and preferably extend in the shape of a circle in the profile mentioned. The ends of the egg are only visible on the depressions 24, while the ends E 2 can engage in the middle and deeper into the depression 16.
Mit Bezug zu Fig. 3 ist eine Verriegelungseinrichtung 25 angedeutet. Es kann hier jede geeignete Verriegelungseinrichtung zur Anwendung kommen. Ledig- lieh beispielhaft ist dargestellt, dass es sich um einen Verriegelungsriegel 26 handeln kann, der auf einer Seite eine Mehrzahl von Rastausnehmungen 27 aufweist, die mit einem Rastzapfen 28 zusammenwirken können. Während der Verriegelungsriegel 26 drehbar, wie durch ein Drehgelenk 29 angedeutet, an dem einen Zangenschenkel 3 befestigt sein kann, ist der Rastzapfen 28 an dem anderen Zangenschenkel 2 befestigt. Die unterschiedlichen Rastausnehmungen können zur Festsetzung unterschiedlicher Schwenköffnungsstellungen der Zangenmaulbacken 7, 8 zueinander, bei einer gewählten fixierten Zangenmaul- öffnungsweite, genutzt werden. With reference to FIG. 3, a locking device 25 is indicated. Any suitable locking device can be used here. By way of example, it is shown that it can be a locking bolt 26 which has a plurality of latching recesses 27 on one side, which can interact with a latching pin 28. While the locking bolt 26 rotatable, as indicated by a hinge 29, to one pliers leg 3 can be fixed, the locking pin 28 is attached to the other pliers leg 2. The different recesses can be used to fix different pivoting positions of the forceps jaws 7, 8 to each other, with a selected fixed forceps jaw opening width.
