Definitions

  • the invention relates to pliers with a movable limb forming a movable jaw and a fixed limb forming a fixed jaw, the fixed limb being connected to the movable limb for limited pivoting movement via a connecting bolt and the connecting bolt reaching through an opening in the fixed limb, the connecting bolt moving along the Opening for setting an jaw width between the movable jaw and the fixed jaw can be displaced, the connecting bolt being displaceable in its longitudinal axis relative to the movable limb and the fixed limb between an end position blocking a sliding movement of the fixed limb relative to the movable limb and an end position releasing the sliding movement, the connecting bolt being in the the sliding movement releasing end position is designed to be lockable.
  • Such pliers are known from the prior art.
  • the DE 39 29 323 C2 a pair of pliers that has basically proven itself in normal use.
  • pliers have a movable jaw which can be pivoted about a connecting bolt relative to the fixed jaw via a joint with the movable pliers arm.
  • the connecting bolt is guided in a slot, which has a toothing on opposite side surfaces, which meshes with a toothing on the connecting bolt.
  • a relative arrangement of the movable jaw to the fixed jaw is fixed via the teeth in order to set a jaw width between the movable jaw and the fixed jaw.
  • the connecting bolt In order to be able to move the movable jaw along the opening relative to the fixed jaw, the connecting bolt has a tooth-free area in addition to a toothed area.
  • the connecting bolt is mounted so that it can be displaced in its longitudinal axis direction relative to the fixed jaw, so that it can be displaced between two end positions.
  • the toothing of the connecting bolt engages with the toothing in the opening of the fixed jaw, so that a sliding movement of the fixed leg to the movable pliers leg or the movable jaw to the fixed jaw is blocked.
  • the connecting bolt is now moved into its second end position, the toothing of the connecting bolt comes out Engaging with the teeth in the opening.
  • the connecting bolt is then arranged with its toothing-free area in the opening and can be displaced in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the opening. This adjusts the mouth width, ie the distance between the movable jaw and the fixed jaw.
  • the connecting bolt is held in the first end position by a leaf spring, in which the toothing of the connecting bolt engages in the toothing in the opening.
  • the movement of the connecting bolt in its longitudinal axis direction therefore takes place against the spring tension of the leaf spring.
  • a generic pliers is from DE 10 2005 035 019 A1 famous. These previously known pliers have a slide on a surface of a leg which has a receptacle for the connecting bolt. The recording is followed by an inclined surface with which the connecting bolt is displaced from the blocking to the releasing position when the slide is displaced in the axial direction of the opening accommodating the connecting bolt. The slide can be locked in the position releasing the sliding movement.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of further developing a generic pair of pliers in such a way that the displacement of the movable jaw relative to the fixed jaw and thus the setting of the jaw width is significantly simplified.
  • a pair of pliers according to claim 1 is provided. Accordingly, it is provided that the connecting bolt, after its transfer from the toothed to the non-toothed position, in which the sliding movement is released can be locked, so that returning the connecting bolt to the toothed position can be clearly manipulated, in which the locking of the connecting bolt in the end position releasing the sliding movement must be actively canceled and not already done by a force loading the connecting bolt against spring tension, for example applied by the thumb, is lifted.
  • the thumb can therefore be used for other purposes, for example to assist in the displacement of the movable jaw relative to the fixed jaw in order to increase or decrease the jaw width.
  • the connecting bolt has a locking device with which the connecting bolt can be fixed in its axial mobility relative to the fixed leg on the latter.
  • An alternative embodiment not according to the invention provides that the connecting bolt can be locked by a locking device arranged on the movable pliers arm.
  • the locking device In the end position releasing the sliding movement, the locking device can be adjusted between the teeth arranged in the opening and the teeth arranged on the connecting bolt by a pivoting movement of the movable limb relative to the fixed limb.
  • the movable limb of the pliers is pivoted relative to the fixed limb after the connecting bolt has been transferred to the end position releasing the sliding movement.
  • the locking device arranged on the connecting bolt then comes into contact with the fixed arm, preferably in the area of the surfaces delimiting the side surfaces of the opening and preferably aligned at right angles thereto, so that the connecting bolt is prevented from moving into the end position blocking the sliding movement pushed back to be, for example by means of a leaf spring known from the prior art.
  • the connecting bolt can be locked by a locking device arranged on the movable limb of the pliers
  • the locking is performed by a pivoting movement of the movable limb relative to the fixed limb, for example by the locking device arranged on the movable limb of the pliers engaging in the connecting bolt and locks it in the end position releasing the sliding movement.
  • the opening has teeth arranged on at least one of its longitudinal sides and that the connecting bolt has teeth that mesh with it, which extend over a partial area in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the connecting bolt and that the meshing teeth of the connecting bolt can be displaced by displacement of the The connecting bolt can be disengaged from the teeth in the opening.
  • the locking device is preferably designed as a plate-shaped element which is connected to the connecting bolt. This plate-shaped element can be used to rest on the fixed leg.
  • the plate-shaped element is arranged on the movable pliers arm, it is advantageous if this engages in a form-fitting manner in a corresponding recess in the connecting pin.
  • This can be, for example, a circumferential groove in the area of the non-toothed section of the connecting bolt.
  • the plate-shaped element is designed to be rigid.
  • the fixed leg has a recess into which the locking device can be latched.
  • the blocking device can also be designed in the form of a pin, so that the corresponding recess is provided as a bore, in which the blocking device engages when the movable pliers arm is pivoted.
  • the connecting bolt relative to the fixed leg is not rotatable and the movable leg is rotatably mounted about the connecting bolt or that the Connecting bolt is mounted non-rotatably relative to the movable leg and rotatable relative to the fixed leg.
  • a pair of pliers 1 which has a movable pliers leg 2 and a fixed leg 3 .
  • the pliers limb 2 and the fixed limb 3 have at one end a gripping element 4 which consists of a plastic covering which encloses the metal end of the pliers limb 2 or the fixed limb 3 .
  • the fixed leg 3 has a fixed jaw 5 at its end opposite the gripping element 4 . Furthermore, a movable jaw 6 is provided, which is arranged to be displaceable relative to the fixed jaw 5 along a section 7 of the fixed leg 3 .
  • the jaw 6 has at its end facing the pliers limb 2 a recess 8 into which a pin 9 of the pliers limb 2 engages.
  • an opening 10 is formed as a slot, which has teeth 11 on each of the two parallel side surfaces.
  • the jaw 6 is U-shaped in cross-section in a partial section at its end facing the pliers arm 2 and overlaps the section 7 of the fixed arm 3 with a groove formed in this way located on section 7.
  • the end of the pliers arm 2 facing the fixed arm 3 is U-shaped in cross section and has a recess 12 which overlaps the section 7 of the fixed arm 3 .
  • the pliers arm 2 has two webs 13 running parallel to one another, which are arranged at a distance from one another, forming the recess 12 .
  • each web 13 has a bore 14 in which a connecting bolt 15 is arranged in such a way that the pliers arm 2 can be pivoted to a limited extent about the connecting bolt 15 relative to the fixed arm 3 .
  • the limitation of the pivotability of the pliers arm 2 relative to the fixed arm 3 is specified by a stop cam 16 which can be brought into contact with a corresponding stop surface 17 on the fixed arm 3 .
  • the connecting bolt 15 has a finger attachment 18 via which the connecting bolt 15 can be displaced in its longitudinal axis direction. The displacement takes place against a leaf spring 19, which is screwed to the pliers handle 2 (see Fig figure 2 ).
  • the connecting bolt 15 has a first area with teeth which mesh with the teeth 11 . At the connecting bolt 15, the area with the teeth is followed by an area without teeth.
  • the length of the connecting bolt 15 is selected in such a way that the connecting bolt 15, which in its first end position is arranged with the toothed area in the toothing 11, can be displaced via the finger attachment 18 in such a way that the connecting bolt 15 in its second end position can only be connected to the non-toothed area is guided in the opening 10, so that the connecting bolt 15 is displaceable in this end position in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the opening 10.
  • a locking device 20 in the form of a plate-shaped element 21 is also arranged on the connecting bolt 15 .
  • the plate-shaped elements 21 arranged diametrically opposite one another on the connecting bolt 15 are arranged in such a way that they run in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the opening 10, the width of the plate-shaped elements 21 being smaller than the distance between the tips of the teeth of the two oppositely arranged toothings 11.
  • the connecting pin 15 can thus be transferred via the leaf spring 19 back into an end position blocking the sliding movement.
  • the plate-shaped elements 21 are arranged diametrically opposite one another on the connecting bolt 15 .
  • figure 2 shows a guide bar 22 which is arranged on the jaw 6 and is guided in a groove 23 in the area 7 of the fixed jaw 5 .
  • Corresponding grooves 23 are arranged on both sides of the area 7 and serve to guide guide webs 22 arranged opposite one another on the jaw 6.
  • the Figures 2 to 7 show the pliers 1 with an open pliers mouth 24, which is determined by surfaces 25 of the pliers leg 2 and the fixed leg 3.
