Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus of the type intended for trimming the ends of wires and crimping opensided electrical connectors onto the trimmed ends.
  • the present invention relates to an improvement to the apparatus of the above-identified Reem et al. application and particularly to an apparatus in which the manipulative steps of the operator are facilitated.
  • a crimping die and an anvil comprising a crimping die and an anvil, the die having a channel or trough extending therethrough which is adapted to bend the sidewalls of an open-sided connector inwardly and towards each other during a crimping operation.
  • a slot is provided in the die extending transversely of the axis of the trough and a shearing member is provided on the anvil which is movable into the slot. This shearing member is disposed between the die and anvil when the die and anvil are apart and moves into the slot concomitantly with movement of the anvil relatively towards the die.
  • the arrangement is such that wires extending from opposite directions towards each other can be positioned between the die and anvil with the end portions extending into the slot in the die.
  • the shearing member Upon movement of the anvil relatively towards the die, the shearing member initially shears the excess wire in the slot by cooperation with the sides of the slot.
  • the trimmed ends are positioned in the open U-type connector on the anvil and the sidewalls of the connector are folded over into the crirnped engagement with the trimmed wire ends.
  • the disclosed embodiment of the invention includes a means for separating wires where two wires extending from the same direction are to be crirnped in a connector and spliced to one or two wires extending from the opposite direction.
  • the disclosed embodiment also includes a means in each end of the apparatus for clamping the wires being spliced during the critical portion of the crimping operation when the connector sidewalls are being folded into crirnped engagement with wires.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a preferred form of hand tool in accordance with the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a side view, with parts broken away, of the tool of FIGURE 1 showing the positions of the parts when the crimping die and anvil are in their opened positions;
  • FIGURE 3 is a view similar to FIGURE 2 but showing the positions of the parts when the die and anvil are closed at the end of a crimping operation;
  • FIGURE 4 is a view taken along the lines 44 of FIG- URE 2;
  • FIGURE 5 is a view similar to FIGURE 4 but showing the positions of the parts at the completion of the crimping operation
  • FIGURE 6 is a view taken along the lines 6-6 of FIGURE 4;
  • FIGURE 7 is a perspective view of an uncrimped splice connector of the type intended for usage with the disclosed embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 8 is a perspective view of a completed splice
  • FIGURE 9 is a View similar to FIGURE 6 but showing the positions of the parts at the end of the crimping operation.
  • a splice connector 2 in accordance with the general teachings of the previously identified Marley et al. application, Ser. No. 391,087, comprises a metallic channel member 4 of brass or other suitable conductive metal having sidewalls 6 extending from its longitudinal edges.
  • a film 8 of insulating plastic material is provided on the external surface of channel memer 4 for the purpose of insulating the completed splice connection as indicated at 2' in FIGURE 8.
  • Two pairs of spaced-apart tangs .12, 14 are struck up from the web 10 of the channel 4, each pair being associated with one end of the connector.
  • Spaced-apart slots 16 are provided in the tangs 12, 14, the width of these slots being such that their edges will penetrate the insulation of a conductor, when the conductor is forced downwardly into the slots, to establish contact with the metallic cores of the conductors.
  • ears 18 are provided in the sidewalls 6 beside the pairs of tangs 12, 14 for the purpose of forcing the conductors down into the slots 16 when the sidewalls are bent inwardly towards each other.
  • the splice connector of FIGURE 7 is adapted to make a common connection among two pairs of wires 20, 22 which extend from opposite directions towards each other.
  • the wires 20 extend into the connector from one side thereof and through the slots 16 of the tangs 12 while the wires 22 extend from the opposite direction and through the slots of the tangs 14. It is not necessary to strip the insulation from the wire ends since the electrical contact with the wires is established when they are forced downwardly towards the web 10 of the connector and into the slots 16 of the tangs as explained fully in the previously identified Marley et al. application.
  • a preferred form of hand tool 24 in accordance with the invention comprises a two-part crimping die 26, 28 and an anvil 30" which is movable relatively towards and away from the die.
  • the two parts 26, 28 of the die each have troughs extending therethrough which function to bend the sidewalls of the connector towards each other and towards the web 10 of the connector during such movement of the anvil towards the die.
  • These troughs or channels have convergent surfaces on each side 34, 36 which merge with parallel surfaces 38, 40 (see FIGURE 6).
  • the parallel surfaces are revcrsely curved towards each other to form a central axially extending cusp 42.
  • the two parts 28-, 30 of the die are spaced apart to form a central slot 44 which intersects the trough-like forming surface and which extends in a plane disposed normally of the axis of these forming surfaces.
  • a shearing member in the form of a blade or block 46 is disposed between the die and anvil and extends transversely of the axis of the die and across the connector-supported surface 32 of the anvil.
  • the thickness of this block is substantially equal to the width of the slot 44 and its edges 47 are advantageously made relatively sharp so that they can cooperate with the edges 49 of the die blocks 26, 28 to shear the ends of the wires being conected.
  • Shearing blade 46 has a central cusp-like projection 48 on its upper surface which functions to assist in maintaining the separation between pairs of wires being spliced as will become apparent as this description proceeds.
  • the blade 46 is secured to a base portion 54 of the anvil 30 by means of a depending arm 50 which extends downwardly behind the anvil (as viewed in FIGURE 4) and which is mounted on a pin 52 in the anvil base.
  • the anvil 30 also has a depending arm 55 by means of which it is connected to the tool linkage.
  • the disclosed embodiment of the invention is adapted to crimp a first pair of wires 20 to a second pair 22 to form a common connection among the four Wires involved. It is desirable to maintain separation of the pair 20 and the pair 22 while the individual wires are being moved relatively into the slots 16 of the tangs 12, 14. In order to maintain this separation during the crimping operation, there are provided a pair of spaced-apart wire separators 56 (FIGURE 6) one of these separators being associated with each of the die blocks 26, 28.
  • separators extend downwardly from the die blocks and centrally with respect to the forming surfaces 3440 of the dies and are integral at their upper ends with guide members 58 which are slidable through slots 60 in the die blocks on each side of the central wire-receiving slot 44.
  • the guide portions 60 of the separators extend downwardly beside the surface of a portion 68 of the tool frame and have a pin-slot connection 62 in their lower ends with the previously identified pin 52.
  • the lower ends of guide portions 58 are inwardly bent as shown at 61 and bear against the upper ends of a pair of ears '86 on the tool frame.
  • the die blocks 26, 28 are secured by fasteners 70 to the underside of a head portion 66 of a frame member 64.
  • This frame member has a depending arm 68 to which handles 76, 82 are connected as described below.
  • Head 66 has a central slot 72 in alignment with the slot 44 between the die blocks and has slots 74, as previously noted, in alignment with the slots 60 and in which the return springs 59 are disposed.
  • these return springs may take the form of simple wire springs mounted on pins disposed in the slots 74 and having arm portions locked in suitable notches on the sides of the slots 74.
  • the fixed handle 76 of the linkage system is secured at its upper end 7 8, 80 to the arm 68 of the frame.
  • Handle 76 is of channel-shaped cross section and has sidewalls 77.
  • a pin 84 extends between the sidewalls 77 and between a pair of spaced-apart ears 86 extending from the frame 68.
  • the movable handle 82 is also of channel-shaped construction and is pivoted at its upper end to the pin 84, the sidewalls of the movable handle being nested within the cars 86 as bestshown in FIGURE 4.
  • Pin 84 extends through a slot 85 in the depending arm 55 of the anvil to permit relative upward movement of the anvil with respect to the frame 64.
  • the auxiliary handle 88 is pivoted intermediate its ends at 90 to the handle 82 and is pivoted at its inner end 92 to the lower end portion of anvil extension 55.
  • This anvil extension has leftwardly extending ears 94 which extend between a pair of spaced-apart extensions $5 of the frame arm 68. Slots 98 are provided in the extensions 95 and a pin 96 extends through the ears 94 and into the slots 96. This pin-slot connection functions to guide the anvil extension 55 and the anvil along a rectilinear path towards and away from the crimping die during the closure of the handles.
  • the disclosed embodiment of the invention is intended to be used for the splicing of conductors of a telephone cable in situ or under similar circumstances where the conductors will be free hanging.
  • the conductors 20, 22 in FIGURE 8 may extend indefinitely to the right and to the left and not be subject to close control by the operator during the crimping operation. It is desirable that the conductors being spliced should not be under any tensile stress during crimping and to avoid such stress and to isolate the end portions of the condoctors I provide clamping means at each end of the anvil.
  • These clam-ping means take the form of pressure pads 100 mounted on blocks 102 at the ends of the mandrel surface 32.
  • the pads 100 cooperate with resiliently biased slide members 104 which are slidably mounted by pinslot connections 108, 110, blocks 106 on each side of the frame head.
  • the members 104 are urged downwardly by means of springs 112 which extend through slots on the rearward sides of the blocks 106.
  • the springs 112 are formed from continuous length of wire which extends from an eye portion 114 secured to the back face of the head of the frame, as shown at 116.
  • wire guide members 118 are provided on the front side of the frame head. These guide members comprise plates having forwardly extending flanges 120' which are pointed or tapered as indicated to form convergent surfaces 122 leading towards the slot 44 between the die blocks.
  • the operator can thus grasp the ends of the two wires 20, 22 in his right hand and, While holding the tool in his left hand, pull the wires towards the tool head so that they are guided by the edges 122 of the guides until the end portions of the wires are disposed in the aligned slots 44, 72.
  • Positioning the wires in the tool is essentially the same as described above if four wires are to be spliced (FIGURE 8) excepting that the wires on each side of the splice must be separated with regard to the wire separators 56 as previously noted.
  • a thumb piece 125 is provided on the front of the tool on the sidewalls of the fixed handle. This thumb piece is used by the operator while he holds the tool with his left hand and positions the wire in the slots 44, 72 with his right hand.
  • the auxiliary handle 88 is moved in a generally clockwise direction about its pivotal axis 90 until this auxiliary handle is nested in the slot 124 of the handle 82.
  • the movable handle 82 is also swung about its pivotal axis 84 and carried through part of its stroke.
  • the handles are moved as a unit through the remaining portion of the stroke of the handle 82 until the parts reach the positions shown in FIGURES 3 and 5.
  • edges 47 of the shearing member 46 move past the edges 49 of the die blocks 26, 28 thereby trimming the ends of the wires.
  • the uncrimped connector is carried into the troughs of the die blocks, the wires are moved into the slots 16 in the .tangs 12, 14 of the connector, and the sidewalls of the channel are forced over against the wire and into the crimped relationship therewith.
  • the wire separators 56 are moved upwardly, as viewed in FIG- URE 6, during the latter portion of the stroke and after the lost motion permitted by the pin-slot connections 52, 62 has been taken up.
  • the springs 59 function to prevent upward travel of the separators beyond the position shown in FIGURE 9 if the pin 52 fails to move to the upper end of the slot 62 during upward movement of the anvil.
  • the pin 5'2 and the guide portions 58 of the separators should remain in the relative positions of FIGURE 6 during upward travel of the anvil (as by reason of high friction between the parts), then the upper ends of the separators would move against the springs 59 prior to bending of the connector sidewalls.
  • the separators would be prevented from further upward movement and the pin 52 would move relatively upwardly with respect to the guide portions 58.
  • This feature is provided in order to assure the presence of the lower end of the separators in the vicinity of the connector during the actual bending of the connector sidewalls in order to prevent the wires from being improperly positioned while the sidewalls are being bent.
  • a salient advantage of the disclosed embodiment of the invention is the ease with which up to four wires can be positioned in the tool in preparation for crimping operation.
  • the operator merely grasps the end portions of the wires and moves them past the edges 122 into the slots 44, 72 and then closes the tool handles in the manner previously descrided.
  • the separators 56 will maintain the wires in separated condition and assure proper positioning of the wires with respect to the insulation piercing slots of the tangs.
  • the clamping members at each end of the anvil 104, 100 firmly clamp the wires during the crimping operation to prevent the transmission of stresses to the wires while they are being crimped in the connector.
  • the disclosed embodiment of the invention comprises a hand tool
  • the principles of the invention are equally applicable to usagewith automatic or semiautomatic crimping devices of the type which are mounted on a suitable bench or other support.
  • the hand tool linkage shown could be replaced by a suitable pneumatic or electric actuating mechanism.
  • the principles of the invention can also be used in tools adapted to crimp connecting devices other than splice-type connectors.
  • the trim and insert principle and the principles of the present invention can be used to crimp terminals of the ring-tongue type where a single wire is being crimped onto the terminal. Under such circumstances, one of the die blocks 26, 28 would be eliminated and a means would be provided for holding the ring-tongue end of the terminal during crimping.
