  • Corresponding dies 30 and 32 are fixed in a slot 33 in the upper portion of the head 22.
  • the slide 24 at its lower end is connected to the pivotally joined upper ends of the handles 34 and 36 which are also pivotally connected through links 38 and 40 to the base portion of the head 22. The slide 24 is thus made to move up and down within the channel 23 as the handles 34 and 36 are opened and closed.
  • the die 26 is adjustably carried on the slide 24 by means of pin 44 and holes 46a, 46b or 460, to compensate for various thicknesses of wire insulation so that a properly insulated connection will b obtained and the dielectric properties thereof will not be destroyed.
  • the die 26 In the position shown in Figure 1, the die 26 is positioned for the largest size wire insulation and insulation support, with the upper positions 46b and 46c providing adjustment for smaller sized wire insulations.
  • the handles In operation the handles are spread apart to withdraw the slide 24 downwardly so that the connector to be crimped may be readily inserted between the dies.
  • FIG 2 there is shown the other side of the head 22 from that of Figure 1 which carries thereon the locator mechanism 47 according to the present invention.
  • This mechanism comprises a bracket 48 slidably mounted on the head 22 about screws 50 and 52 and carrying thereon a blade portion 54 positioned to project into the space between the C-shaped portions of the head 22 adjacent the dies 28 and 32 and to bridge the gap therebetween.
  • Pivotally mounted about screw 56 on head 22 is a second bracket 58 which carries at its end a locator portion 60 also positioned to project into the space between the C-shaped portions of the head adjacent dies 28 and 32 to bridge the gap therebetween.
  • brackets 48 and 58 have positioned thereon handles 66 and 64 respectively to facilitate the positioning thereof and bracket 48 carries thereon a stop portion 68 which engages spring 70 which abuts stop 72 on head 22.
  • a cover 74 is provided to maintain the spring between the stops and within the bracket 48.
  • the locator mechanism is positioned to receive a terminal such as 62 in Figure 8.
  • the bracket 58 is pivoted into the vertical position shown, to cause projection 76 on bracket 58 to engage the finger 78 on bracket 48 (see also Figure 4).
  • the blade portion 54 of the bracket 58 is withdrawn into a recess 80 in the head 22 so that it will clear a connector positioned between the dies and not interfere with the proper crimping thereof, and the locator portion 60 is positioned adjacent the die'28 so that as the tool is opened to receive a terminal such as 62 it will engage the ferrule forming portion thereof to properly position it between the dies for pressure forming.
  • the wire inserted within the ferrule of the terminal is advantageously inserted until its tip projects a short distance beyond the end of the ferrule portion and over the portion 60.
  • the bracket 48 is pushed to itsupper position againstthe action of spring 70 by'the operator, and the bracket 58 pivoted into its vertical position and then the bracket 48 released so that the projection 76 engages the finger 78.
  • the tool is then opened and a terminal inserted until it abuts against the locator portion 60.
  • the tool is then lightly closed to hold the terminal between the die jaws while a wire having theend portion thereof stripped of insulation is inserted into the ferrule of the terminal until it projects a short distancebeyond the end ofthe ferrule portion of the terminal.
  • the abutment 60 is made so that it engages only the ferrule forming portion of the terminal. Pressure is then applied to the handles of the tool to crimp the ferrule to the wire, until the ratchet mechanism 42 is tripped to release the terminal and permit its removal.
  • brackets 48 and 58 are shown in a position to receive and crimp a connector of the type shown in Figure 9.
  • This type of connector 82 generally has some sort of index portion such as the indentation 84 in the insulating sleeve 85, which is adapted to receive the blade portion 54 of the bracket 48.
  • the bracket 58 is pivoted downwardly out of engagement with the bracket 48 to permit the bracket 48 to be urged downwardly by the spring 70 to contact and position between the dies, a connector such as 82.
  • the blade portion 54 has its end folded back on itself to form a smoothly curved edg portion which engages the indentation 84 in the sleeve 85 without piercing it or otherwise damaging it.
  • the blade portion 54 being spring-urged into contact with the connector 82, will automatically adjust itself for the various sizes and will also ride upwardly with the connector as the jaws of the tool are closed to first grip the connector and then to pressure form it about the conductor.
  • bracket 48 In operation the bracket 48 is pushed to its upper position against spring 70 and the connector 82 inserted between the dies mounted in the head 22 and positioned with the indentation 84 approximately in the position shown in Figure 6. Next the bracket 48 is released and the connector 82 adjusted until the blade portion 54 fits snugly in the indentation 84. The connector handles are then lightly closed until the connector 82 is engaged between the dies carried in the head 22 as shown in Figure 6. This permits the end of the conductor or wire to be stripped of insulation and inserted into the connector 82 until the wire end abuts the indentation 84 without having to separately hold or position the connector between the jaws of the tool.
  • the handles of the tool can now be squeezed together until sufficient pressure is applied to crimp the connector and trip the ratchet to permit the release and removal of the connector.
  • the tool is then removed from the connector, rotated 180 and applied to the opposite side of the connector from that of Figure 6, so that the blade portion 54 again engages the indentation 84.
  • the second wire is stripped of insulation adjacent its end and inserted in the uncrimped portion of the connector 82 and the assembled connector and Wire are crimped as described above.
  • locator mechanisms for properly positioning a terminal or connector within the same tool to insure that the ferrule crimping and insulation 'support crimping dies engage the proper portions of the terminal or connector to produce a proper crimp that will have the desired electrical and mechanical characteristics.
  • the hand tool shown in Figure 10 comprises a pair of die-carrying jaws 86 and 88 pivotally mounted on a link 89 at points 90 and 92 respectively and connected at the ends removed from the dies, through pivot points 94 and 96 respectively, to the handles 98 and 100 which are pivotally joined together at 102.
  • the jaws 86 and -88 are provided with adjustable pins 104 and 106 for the adjustment of the insulation dies 108 and 110 similarly to that shown and described in Figure 1.
  • FIGS 11 and 12 show the locator mechanism according to the present invention applied to the tool of Figure and positioned for the reception of a terminal such as 62 of Figure 8.
  • this mechanism comprises a bracket 112 mounted on jaw 88 by screw 114.
  • Bracket 112 slidably carries thereon blade portion 116 which carries thereon channel portion 117 and which is normally urged toward the left in Figure 11 by spring 118 which is housed within housing 120 between the stop clip 122 and the end of the channel portion 117 of the blade portion 116.
  • Pin 124 is mounted in block 123 which is carried in an extension 119 of channel 117 and acts as a handle for blade 116.
  • bracket 112 In addition there is pivotally mounted on the bracket 112 a locator portion 126 which is adapted to be pivoted into and out of engagement with the blade portion 116 to form a locator for properly positioning terminals such as 62 between the die jaws.
  • the bracket 112 also carries a pair of upstanding ears 128 and 130 which act as a protector and guide respectively for the locator portion 126.
  • the pin 124 is urged toward the right in Figure 11 to move the blade portion 116 clear of the die area and the locator 126 is pivoted clockwise to a position adjacent the jaw 86 and the pin 124 is then released so that the finger portion 132 of the blade will engage and overlie the locator 126 as shown in Figure 12.
  • the terminal to be crimped is inserted from the side of the tool shown in Figure 10 until the ferrule portion thereof engages the locator 126.
  • the jaws are then closed lightly to hold the terminal in the position shown in Figure 12, and a wire with the insulation stripped from the end portion thereof is inserted into the ferrule portion of the terminal until it protrudes a small distance beyond the end of the ferrule and over the locator 126.
  • the jaws may then be tightly closed and a ratchet mechanism similar to that of Figure 1 insures that sufficient pressure will be applied to crimp the assembled connector and wire before it can be released from the tool.
  • pin 124 is moved to the right in Figure 13 to withdraw the blade portion 116 from between the die jaws and a connector such as 82 of Figure 9 is inserted and pin 124 released so that the finger portion 132 of the blade 116 engages the indentation 84 of the connector 32 to position the connector as shown in Figure 14.
  • a wire having the insulation stripped from the end thereof is then inserted and the connector is crimped thereon as described in connection with Figures 11 and 12.
  • the tool is next rotated 180 and the assembled connector and wire inserted in the tool and the locating and crimping process repeated to connect a second Wire thereto.
  • latching mechanism 134 comprises a pawl 136 pivotally mounted about pin 13% in a recess 14% in the head 22 of the tool which may be of generally the same configuration as the tool of Figures 1 through 7.

  • slider bracket 48 In operation if a connector such as 82 of Figure 9 is inserted into the tool to a position shown in Figures 19 and 20, slider bracket 48 will be held in its approximate midposition by finger 54' so that the pin 144 can move outwardly of recess 140 to contact the surface 148 of camming slot 146 to the position shown in Figure 19. In this position the pawl 136 extends into the path of the lower die 28' and prevents the operation of the tool, which, if not prevented, would produce a defective connection.
  • the ratchet mechanism When the handles are in the full open position the ratchet mechanism is disengaged to permit adjustment of the dies, so that if the connector is improperly positioned the tool may be opened and the connector repositioned or the proper connector obtained as the case may be without having to waste a connector by crimping it improperly to get the tool open again.
