Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pair of pliers according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a pair of pliers is out of the WO 2008/049850 A1 ( US 2010/0064861 A1 ) known.
  • the automatic overflow happens in the course of a conventional displacement of the pliers legs approximately in the direction of a smaller jaw opening width out without any other action on the hinge pin is required.
  • the overflow of the engagement teeth is actually ratchet-like.
  • means for a movement lock it is known to rotatably provide a head portion of the hinge pin relative to the hinge pin.
  • the head part has on the underside a pin, which can be moved to achieve the movement lock in a free space between the hinge pin and an associated edge of the longitudinal slot on which the toothing opposite side.
  • it can also be formed a parallel to a flat side of the hinge pin provided rotary member, which is in the same way in the blocking in the said space hineinbewegbar.
  • the invention is concerned with the task of specifying a pair of pliers, which has the simplest, but also advantageous for practical handling means for achieving the movement barrier.
  • the means for achieving the movement barrier are provided at least partially, preferably predominantly, on one of the pliers limbs themselves and not or only partially provided on the hinge pin.
  • the funds do not have to be brought separately into an operative position.
  • the means also occur automatically each time a corresponding actuation of the forceps.
  • the movement lock can be achieved in the course of conventional handling of the pliers. It is preferably not necessary to perform a special manipulation on a pliers leg or the hinge pin. In particular, preferably not the operation of a special adjustment is required.
  • actuation lock can be achieved by retracting the hinge pin into the longitudinal slot in the opposite direction to a depression of the hinge pin, is not relevant to the user (different) movement / retraction of the hinge pin against the first direction of movement in the longitudinal slot.
  • a longitudinal edge of the longitudinal slot is provided over a part of its length with a recess which allows a deeper retraction of the hinge pin.
  • a peripheral edge of the longitudinal slot is primarily required to achieve the desired movement lock.
  • the fact that the recess is provided only over part of the length of the longitudinal edge of the longitudinal slot, is also readily achieved that on the other or remaining part of the length, the movement lock does not take effect.
  • the hinge pin has in further detail an actuating side, which is acted upon, for example, with the thumb of a user in the first direction of movement for adjustment, and one in the first direction of movement seen the operating side opposite side.
  • the opposite side is circumferentially, relative to a circumferential direction relating to the first direction of movement, preferably formed by a cylindrical portion. It is further preferred that the cylinder portion has a different extent in the first direction of movement over the circumference.
  • a first flat section may have the one or more mating teeth, wherein this first flat section is no longer flat in the area of the mating teeth in this sense.
  • the opposite second flat section may have a spring element arranged with a direction of action transverse to the first movement.
  • This spring element is preferably intended to allow a ratchet-like overrunning of the engagement teeth or to allow the hinge pin from the teeth comes free at merely tensile load of the movable forceps leg transverse to the longitudinal extent of the longitudinal slot. In the region of the spring element and the second flat section not designed to be flat in the strict sense.
  • a flat section is achieved by a flattening of an otherwise cylindrical basic shape.
  • the flat portion at least partially on a flat surface.
  • the cylinder portion of the opposite side is assigned to the second flat portion with the greater length. Accordingly, the second flat portion is in its extension in the first direction of movement lengthwise smaller than the first flat portion, which is associated with the shorter length of the cylinder portion. The length is here seen in the direction of extension of the opposing teeth.
  • the hinge pin on the side having the longer-mentioned cylinder extension cooperatively engages with the recess in the longitudinal slot deeper into the longitudinal slot in a direction opposite to the moving direction upon depression, the movement lock is achieved.
  • the over the second flat side protruding spring element can no longer come into effect.
  • the second flat side can no longer be indented the spring element are moved up to the associated surface of the longitudinal slot.
  • This longer portion of the cylinder portion occurs in the state of the movement lock against a recess formed on the shoulder in the longitudinal slot.
  • the spring element acts on this side as well, this can not be effective due to the blockage of the movement of the hinge pin in the second movement direction required for this purpose by said shoulder.
  • a movement of the hinge pin transversely to the longitudinal extent of the longitudinal slot is not possible in such a position of the hinge pin with respect. The length of the longitudinal slot.
  • a pliers 1 in a preferred embodiment as a water pump pliers with two pliers legs 2, 3.
  • the pliers legs 2, 3 intersect in a region of a hinge pin 4th
  • the pliers leg 2 is to be regarded as a fixed pliers leg.
  • the pliers leg 3 is relative to the pliers leg 2 for changing the mouth opening width M, see Fig. 2 , movable.
  • the pliers leg is 3 relative to the forceps leg 2, with the hinge pin 4 as a hinge axis, pivotable to open and close the forceps jaw.
  • the pliers legs 2, 3 form on one side of the hinge pin 4, the handle portion 5, 6 and on the other side of the hinge pin 4 mouth jaws 7, 8th
  • the movable pliers limb 3 is preferably designed fork-shaped in the crossing region, for enclosing both sides of the one longitudinal slot 9 having Festschenkelabitess.
  • the hinge pin 4 is rotatably supported in a section, preferably the fork section 10, 11 of the movable pliers limb 3.
  • a through hole 12 is formed in the section or in detail in the fork portion 10 and the fork portion 11 .
  • counter teeth 13 can engage with engagement teeth 14, which are formed on a - preferably only on one flank of the longitudinal slot 9.
  • a stop is on the bottom, so on the side of the cylinder portion 15 of the mating teeth 13 in the engaged state, created, which prevents the hinge pin 4 from this side through the longitudinal slot. 9 can be inserted.
  • the hinge pin 4 is formed with a head portion 16 which forms a peripheral or radial projection, which occurs in the same way as a stop in action, when the hinge pin 4 of this page is depressed in a first direction of movement R 1 for adjustment in the longitudinal slot.
  • the cylinder portion 15 see, for example Fig. 5 . but also formed with such a radial projection that it by striking the pliers leg 2 in a state in which the engaging teeth and the opposing teeth are out of engagement, see, for example. Fig. 11 , further retraction of the hinge pin 4 prevents.
  • the mating teeth 13 are formed on a first flat side 17 of the hinge pin 4.
  • a spring element 19 comes into effect, with a direction of action W, transversely to the first direction of movement R 1 , see Fig. 5 , runs.
  • the flat sides 17, 18 are in a cross section, see, for example Fig. 11 not aligned but aligned at an acute angle to each other. This allows the movement of the hinge pin in the direction of the second direction of movement R 2 , as explained below. This is in the narrower sense essentially a circular movement of the hinge pin.
  • the hinge pin in accordance with a position of the pliers legs Fig. 11 be brought out of action by merely pulling on the first pliers leg 3.
  • the hinge pin 4 moves in this case in the direction of a second direction of movement R 2 .
  • the second direction of movement R 2 can essentially coincide with the direction of action W. In this way, the second, or movable pliers leg 3 in such a position of the hinge pin 4 with respect to the longitudinal slot 9 moves freely with respect to the first and fixed pliers legs 2 become.
  • the forceps 1 has a movement lock with respect to the hinge pin 4.
  • the movement lock causes the hinge pin 4 or the movable pliers limb 3 in total to an adjustment of the mouth opening width M, ie for movement of the hinge pin 4 in a longitudinal direction of the longitudinal slot 9, which movement is also referred to as the third direction of movement R 3 , only (still) to be moved by depression in the direction of the first direction of movement R 1 .
  • the movement lock is achieved primarily by a special design of one of the pliers legs, here the fixed pliers leg 2. It is also provided only for a part of the meshing teeth with the longitudinal slot 9.
  • the movement lock can be due to a displacement of the forceps leg 3 from a certain mouth opening width M, here preferably the largest mouth opening according to Fig. 11 , in the direction of a smaller mouth opening effect in effect.
  • the displacement takes place in the third direction of movement R 3 of the hinge pin of the hinge pin. 4
  • the movement lock is achieved in that the hinge pin 4 in the direction opposite to the first direction of movement R 1 , where he is preferably biased by a beauf sode bolt spring 20, so deep, from the relevant side, in the longitudinal slot 9 retracts, see Fig. 5 in that, on the side of the spring element 19, the cylinder portion 15 is at least over part of its height in direct opposition to a stop surface 21 extending in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal slot 9.
  • the hinge pin 4 it is no longer possible, as described above, to pull the hinge pin 4 out of the toothing engagement with the teeth of the longitudinal slot 9 while avoiding the spring element 19.
  • the second direction of movement R 2 is blocked.
  • This immersion in the longitudinal slot 9 is achieved by a stop surface 21 with forming recess 22 in a longitudinal edge 23 of the longitudinal slot 9 (see, in particular FIGS. 4 . 5 ).
  • This recess 22 is, as in particular also from Fig. 3 can be seen, formed only over part of the length b of the longitudinal slot 9. Another directly adjoining part a of the longitudinal slot 9 is formed without this recess 22.
  • the length of the recess 22 essentially corresponds to the difference b-a (with the exception of, for example, the mouth-jaw-side rounding area).
  • the part a may correspond to half to, for example, 9/10 of the entire length b of the longitudinal slot 9.
  • the configuration of the longitudinal slot 9 over the length a is formed only in opposition to a small part of the teeth of the longitudinal slot 9. More preferably, in comparison to a tenth to a third of the teeth of the longitudinal slot 9. In absolute terms, two to ten preferably about five engagement teeth 14 may be formed in the region of the part a.
  • the length a also preferably corresponds to a diameter of the cylindrical part of the hinge pin 4, which is in the unactuated state in the longitudinal slot (and partly according to the flat sides 17, 18 is flattened).
  • the hinge pin 4 as such is in more detail in the FIGS. 8 to 10 shown.
  • the hinge pin 4 On the actuation side, the hinge pin 4 has a head part 24. This is at least partially radially over and can thus form in cooperation with the teeth of the longitudinal slot 9, a stop for a depression of the hinge pin in the first direction of movement.
  • a foot portion 25 of the hinge pin 4 opposite the head portion 24 is initially formed with a circumferential first cylinder portion 26.
  • this cylinder section 26 viewed counter to the first direction of movement R 1 , is formed with a greater length L 2 than corresponds to the first length L 1 of the encircling cylinder section.
  • the length L 2 may, for example, be 1.1 to 1.8 times the length L 1 .
  • the bolt spring 20 (see. Fig. 2 ), which biases the hinge pin 4 in its rest or engagement position given outside an actuation.
  • the means for forming the movement barrier are thus given primarily by the recess 22 and the stop surface 21 in the fixed pliers limb, but partly by the different high training of the cylinder portion 15 in the hinge pin 4.
  • the longitudinal slot 9 could also be dispensed with different lengths of the cylinder portion 15 of the hinge pin 4.
  • a user can either by moving the pliers legs 2, 3 relative to each other, so that the hinge pin 4 moves in the direction of the third direction of movement R 3 , reach a ratchet-like overflow of the teeth of the longitudinal slot through the mating teeth until a desired mouth opening width M is given.
  • the hinge pin 4 moves when overrunning an engagement tooth in the second direction of movement R 2nd
  • the user can, for example, in the position of the largest mouth opening width M according to Fig.
  • the ratchet-like delivery of the mouth opening is particularly favorable to perform when the pliers already a workpiece P, see. Fig. 11 and 12 , is assigned and the jaw jaws are then brought by this said moving to the plant. Regardless that in such a ratchet-like displacement of the jaws to each other to adjust a jaw width of the hinge pin 4 is already moved in the region of the longitudinal slot in which the movement lock can take effect, it allows the configuration that this delivery by ratchet-like overflow yet can be done until the end. For this purpose, however, it may be necessary that the displacement of the pliers legs or pliers jaws is performed sufficiently quickly by a user to each other.
  • a ratchet-like overflow in the direction of smaller mouth opening, can be carried out without further ado from this position.
