This invention relates to apparatus for appiying tags to articles, and moreparticularly itrelates to apparatus for applying tags to insulated conductors.
An object of the invention is to provide new and improved apparatus for applying tags to articles.
One device embodying the invention comprises a pair of relatively movable members for pressing a band around an article positioned therebetween, and means for securing together the ends of a band pressed around an article to secure the band on the article.
A complete understanding of the invention may be obtained from the following detailed description of a specific embodiment thereof, when read in conjunction with the appended drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a device embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is afragmentary, top plan view of the device with the elements thereof in positions diiferent from those shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary, top plan view of the device with the elements thereof in still different positions;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary, plan view of the device with the elements thereof in yet different positions;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a tag of the type applied by the device to insulated conductors;
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of an element of the device, and
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a second element of the device.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, a pair of lever members I and II (Fig. 1) pivotally secured together by a pin I2 are provided with handle portions I3 and I4, respectively. An arcuate clamp I is secured rigidly to a jaw I6 formed on the lever member I0. A jaw I1 is formed on the end of the lever member II.
An arcuate clamp 20 (Fig. '7), which is complementary to the arcuate clamp I5, is secured on the ends of a pair of arms 22-22, which are pivotally mounted on the pin I2. The movement of the arms relative to the lever member I I is limited by a stop 23 secured to the lever member II. A spring 24 is mounted between a boss 25 formed on one side of the jaw I1 and a boss 26 formed on one of the arms 2222. Another spring is similarly mounted between similar bosses on the other side of the jaw I1 and the other arm 22. The springs serve to urge the arms in a clockwise direction, as viewed in Fig. 1, until one of the arms-124 2 1 time sepia which veh afl er movement or thearms.
I n having a bevelled and least.- 4 tot eip I eqr m e p at 341 this. a havinssi e el rle formed thete nis se med t e en at a lever 3 The lever 36 is pivotally mounted on the jaw It by a pin 40 projecting through a bracket 4I secured to the jaw I6.
In the operation of the device described hereinabove, a tag 42 (Fig. 5) having offset tabs 43 and 44 is bent around an insulated conductor 45, and the tag 42 and the conductor 45 then are placed between the clamps I5 and 20. The handles I3 and I4 then are drawn together to urge the clamps I5 and 20 tightly against the tag 42, whereby the tag 42 is formed tightly around the conductor 45. The handles I3 and I4 then are drawn closer together and the bevelled end 33 of the forming plate 32 engages the tag near the tab 44 and moves the tab 44 over the tab 43, as shown in Fig. 1. The crimping plate 34 then is moved against the upper end of the clamp I5, and as the plate is so moved it engages the end of the tab 44 and tucks the tab 44 over the tab 43, as shown in Fig. 2. The handles I3 and I4 then are drawn more closely together, which causes the forming plate 32 to be thrust to the right and. the bevelled end 33 to bend the tab 44 to the position shown in Fig. 3. The tabs 43 and 44 now are held securely together but project outwardly somewhat from the periphery of the tag The clamps I5 and 20 then are opened and the conductor 45, the tag 42 secured therearound are rotated, and the clamps I5 and 20 are brought together to bend the tabs 43 and 44 to positions parallel with the adjacent portions of the periphery of the tag 42. If necessary, the handles I3 and I4 may be drawn together enough that the jaw II engages the clamp 20 positively and exerts a positive force against the clamp 20 to form the tabs 43 and 44, as just described.
The above described device serves to clamp tags to insulated conductors rapidly and efficiently. Tags secured on conductors by this device are of uniform neatness.
What is claimed is:
1. A pair of pliers for applying bands to insulated conductors, which comprises a pair of armate clamps, a lever member having one of the clamps rigidly secured to an end thereof, a second lever member having the other clamp resiliently mounted on an end thereof, means for securing the lever members together for pivotal the band over the other prior to securing said ends together and for forming the ends 'of the band after they have been secured together by the crimper.
2. A pair of pliers for applying bands to insulated conductors, which comprises an arcuate clamp, a second arcuate clamp, a lever member s Number having the first-mentioned clamp rigidly secured to an end thereof, a second lever member'pivotal- 1y secured to the first-mentioned lever member, a.
pair of arms for pivotally mounting the second 4 prior to securing said ends together and for completely securing together the ends of the band after they have been partially secured by the crimper.
