BY @KW ATTORNEY Patented May 29, 1951 HAND PERFORATING OR LIKE TOOL PRI- MARILY FOR PUNCTURING CATTLE EARS Bevan G. Horstmann, Marksbury, near Bristol,
England Application March 14, 1949, Serial No. 81,292 In Great Britain April 1, 1948 This invention relates to an improved handoperated perforating or the like tool primarily for puncturing identification marks in the ears of cattle and for other purposes.
With known tools and appliances for marking the ears of cattle the marking is effected by gripping a pair of handles together to close a pair of perforating jaws about an ear and when the marking has been effected it is necessary to move the handles apart as a secondary action to open the jaws before the ear or other article can be released from between the jaws.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a hand-operated perforating tool primarily for puncturing identification marks in the ears of cattle which comprises a pair of operating elements in the nature of handles carrying complementary perforating jaws, said handles and jaws being provided with cooperating means, whereby during the initial movement of the handles toward each other, the jaws will be closed to effect the perforating action and continued movement of the handles due to squeezing them together in the same direction will cause the jaws automatically to open. It will thus be apparent that the present device is of special utility in marking the ears of cattle since this operation may be effected much more quickly and more humanely than is possible by tools of the scissors type heretofore provided for this purpose, because, in the present tool closing of the jaws and their subsequent automatic separation, resulting from one continuous manual operation, namely, a single squeezing operation on the handles of the tool, eliminates the time lag incident to previous tools wherein the handles move apart by a second or reverse action to separate the jaws. Inasmuch as the jaws separate after piercing with a snap action, the closing and opening of the jaws renders a complete action practically instantaneous.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect, reference will now be made to the drawings accompanying the provisional specification which illustrate one embodiment of the invention, by way of example, as applied to pliers for perforating the ears of cattle for identification purposes. In the drawings- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the pliers showing the normal positions of the parts immediately prior to a perforating operation.
Figure 2 is a similar view but showing the perforating jaws closed together, and Figure 3 again is a similar view but showin 9 Claims. (Cl. 128-329) the jaws automatically opened apart to release the article perforated.
Referring to the drawings, the jaws l and 2 are carried respectively by jaw arms 3 and 4 which are mounted at their lower ends on pivot pins 6 and l bridging a bifurcated upper end 8 of a handle 9. The jaw l which for convenience may be termed a hammer jaw is fitted with a plurality of perforating or piercing elements Ii! adapted to penetrate the ear of an animal engaged between the jaws to make an identification mark on the ear and the other or anvil jaw 2 is formed with a series of correspondingly arranged recesses for accepting the piercing points of said elements.
Located between the two jaws i and 2 is an apertured or perforated stripping or ejector plate II which is rigidly secured to the upper end 8 of the handle 9 and which acts, when the jaws move apart, to prevent angular movement of the ear with the jaw l and so disengages the ear from the piercing elements It.
The lower end of the jaw arm a, below the pivot pin 1, is formed with a laterally directed tail portion l2 in which is formed an L-shaped slot which consists of a relatively long curved portion l3 and a short portion 14, the longer portion 13 being concentric with the axis of the pivot pin 1. Slidable in the slot [3, M is a thrust pin l5 which bridges a bifurcated upper end of an operating lever [B which is pivoted between its ends at ll to the upper end of a link It which in turn is pivoted at its lower end to a laterally directed portion 9a of the handle 9 by means of a pivot pin l9.
When the tool is about to be used the various parts are in the positions shown in Figure 1 and the article to be perforated, e. g. the ear of an animal, is located between the jaw 2 and the stripper or ejector plate H. The handle 9 and the operating lever it are then squeezed together in the operators hand and, commencing with the positions of the parts as indicated in Figure l, the axis of the pivot pin I1 is con strain-ed to pass through an arc A- -B struck from the axis of the pivot l9 and the pin I5 is thereby elevated and therefore retained in the the jaw 2 until the jaws are closed together and the article placed between them pierced.
The perforating action is completed when the parts of the tool are in the positions shown in Figure 2 and in this position it will be noted the pin and the two pivots l1 and I9 are located in a straight line CD. Further squeezing together of the operating lever I6 and the handle 9 therefore has the effect of moving the pivot 11 over a dead center and the upward thrusting action of the pin [5 during the preliminary action of the tool is reversed and the pin I5 is moved slightly downwards a distance sufficient to move the pin l5 clear of the elbow 22 of the slot whereupon a coiled tension spring 23 anchored at one end to the handle 9 and at its other end to the tail portion I2 of the jaw arm 4 which has been placed under tension by the closing together of the jaws I and 2, re-asserts itself to swing the jaw 2 smartly in the reverse direction about the pivot I to open the jaws I and 2 apart. During this opening apart of the jaws the pin [5 is accommodated in the longer portion l3 of the L-shaped slot and therefore offers no resistance to the opening movement of the jaw 2 and a second abutment 24 on the jaw arm 4 engages against the other side of the projection 2| on the jaw arm 3 and turns the jaw arm 3 suniciently to ensure withdrawal of the piercing elements from the ear of the animal and through the stripping or ejector plate H whereafter the heavier upper part of the jaw I will swing downwardly by gravity.
In order to-control or limit the amount of movement between the operating lever i6 and the handle 9 it is preferred to provide the link [8 with abutment faces [8a and I8!) respectively at its ends, the abutment face [811 engaging with the operating lever l6 when the pliers are in a position ready for action as in Figure 1 and the abutment face I8b engaging the handle 9 when the pliers are fully open as in Figure 3. Also to limit the outward swinging movement of the jaw I when the two jaws are thrust apart, the jaw arm 3 is formed with a second projection 21a which abuts against the edge of the inner end of the jaw arm 4 when the parts are in their fully extended or open positions as shown in Figure 3.
Although the tool described is primarily concerned with perforatingidentification marks on the ears of cattle, it will be appreciated that it could be readily adapted and used to advantage for other purposes. For example, instead of incorporating piercing elements in one of the jaws, the jaws could be adapted for embossing matter on cardboard, metal or other materials, or, the jaws could be fitted with punches to punch holes, or with cutters for cutting out desired shapes, the embossing, punching or cutting, as the case may be, being effected by the initial squeezing of the handles, or the equivalent together, and the work automatically released by continued squeezing together of said handles.
