Definitions
- the locator and holder comprises two coacting resilient members, one for movement with each die.
- One of the aforementioned resilient members serves to engage and axially position with reference to the dies a connector or terminal of the ferrule type to be crimped about a wire.
- the other resilient member serves as a wire stop and also with its companion tends to angularly position the connector with reference to the dies.
- This invention relates to a locator and holder for an electrical terminal or connector for'crimping of the latter about a wire by a hand tool with which the locator and holder is associated and supported.
- crimping tools commonly comprise a pair of die-carrying jaws in a pliertype tool, which jaws may either have a pivotal action for cooperation with one another or a parallel action.
- the tool may have a pair of handle members in pivotal relation to one another which are pivoted by the operator's hands to effect a crimping operation through closing movement of the dies.
- the handle members are usually spring biased to their open or separated positions and manipulated by the operator to their closed positions against this spring bias. It is through force exerted by the operator on the handle members that a crimping operation is effected.
- locators have in the past been subject to a variety of shortcomings when employed for crimping terminals of the type described above. For example, such locators have failed to effectively inhibit the improper positioning by an operator of such a terminal between jaws of a crimping tool. In at least some instances it has been found that in the use of such locators it has been somewhat difficult for the operator to position the terminal in the jaws for a crimping operation.
- Some tools equipped with locators have lacked simple effective means to axially and angularly orientate a terminal with reference to the crimping dies and axially orientate a wire inserted in a terminal, and some have lacked effective means to hold a terminal in properly orientated position prior to a crimping operation.
- Some devices of the prior art, such as described above, have moreover inadequately provided for elongation of such a terminal upon compression of the side wall structure thereof during a crimping operation.
- One object of the invention is to provide a terminal or connector locator which inhibits improper positioning by an operator of a terminal such as described between the jaws of such a crimping tool.
- a further object is to provide a Work locator which axially orientates such a terminal and tends to angularly orientate it.
- Yet another object is to provide a work locator for a tool such as described having a motion-compelling mechanism for the dies thereof, which very effectively holds the terminal in proper position for a crimping operation.
- a further object is to provide a locator and holder such as described above which is of simplified construction and dependable in operation, which also serves as a wire stop and which readily permits elongation of the barrel portion of such a terminal for crimping of the latter between dies of a tool.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevational, fragmentary view illustrating a hand tool equipped with a locator and holder for an electrical connector, embodying the invention
- FIG. 2 is an end elevational view of the tool
- FIG. 3 is a view on a somewhat smaller scale similar to FIG. 1 but illustrating additional details of the tool showing the same side of the tool as viewed in FIG. 1, showing parts thereof in different positions;
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 5;
- FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but illustrating the reverse side of the tool, showing parts thereof in different positions;
- FIG. 6 is a view of the end of the tool similar to FIG. 2 but showing the parts thereof in the positions of FIG. 5;
- FIG. 7 is a fragmentary bottom view of the tool in the condition of FIG. 5.
- FIG. 3 there is illustrated by way of example a crimping tool provided with dies of the pivotal type and having handles 10 and 11 (FIG. 3) which may be covered throughout a po tion of their length with an insulating material formed of plastic to be gripped by the operator.
- the handles 10 and 11 are pivotally connected as at 12 by a pin which extends through a portionof the handle 11 receiving a portion of the handle 10.
- the handles 10 and 11 at their ends remote from the portions thereof gripped by the operator are provided with pivot pinsl3.
- a pair of jaws 14 are provided for pivotal support, one
- Each pin 13 extends through one end of the corresponding jaw.
- the jaws 14 are pivotally interconnected through a pair of plates 15 supporting a pair of pivots 16 therebetween.
- the last-mentioned pivots support the respective jaws by extending therethrough, the jaws being pivotally mounted in the aforesaid manner for conventional toggle-like action on swinging movement of the handles 10 and 11 relatively to one another.
- the jaws carry therebetween a pin 17 on which they have rocking movement for proper positioning of the jaws relatively to one another, the pin 17 being held captive between the plates 15.
- One jaw 14 carries in fixed relation thereto a crimping die indicated generally at 18, while the other jaw carries in a similar manner a cooperating crimping die indicated generally at 19.
- the tool is provided with a motion-compelling mechanism for the purpose previously described comprising, generally speaking, a toothed element 20 pivoted to the handle 10 at 21 and a toothed element 22 secured to the handle 11 for cooperation with the first-mentioned toothed element of the motion-compelling mechanism.
- a motion-compelling mechanism for the purpose previously described comprising, generally speaking, a toothed element 20 pivoted to the handle 10 at 21 and a toothed element 22 secured to the handle 11 for cooperation with the first-mentioned toothed element of the motion-compelling mechanism.
- the teeth of these elements are not shown.
- the work locator and holder of the invention is positioned on the left side of the tool as viewed in FIG. 2 and is indicated generally at 24. It comprises a member 25 of resilient rubber-like material associated with one of the jaws 14 and a similar member 26 associated with the other jaw. As seen in the last-mentioned view, each member 25, 26 has a dimension which is greater in a plane parallel to the plane of the corresponding jaw than in a plane transverse thereto and, as indicated in FIG. 1, each is of substantial length generally lengthwise of the jaw with which it is associated in the die region thereof. In the form shown, the dies 18 and 19 each have two die cavities, each die cavity of one pair corresponding with one of the other pair. The two pairs of die cavities are provided for terminals or connectors of diiferent sizes. The dimension of each resilient member 25, 26 is sufficient to extend beyond the die cavities of the corresponding die in both directions lengthwise of the jaw.
- a metal back-up plate 27 through which suitable headed fasteners 28 extend. These fasteners also extend through the resilient member 25 and are threaded into suitable sockets in the corresponding jaw 14. The heads of these fasteners may be socketed to receive a hex wrench.
- the member 25 is spaced laterally outwardly from the jaw 14 to which it is secured by a metal spacer 29. It will be seen that, as shown in FIG. 2, the resilient member 25 extends below the lowermost extremities of the plate 27 and the spacer 29.
- the lowermost extremity 30 of the resilient member 25 is planar, and this edge or surface of the member also extends a distance below or beyond the bottoms of the die cavities formed in the die 18.
- the resilient member 26 is similarly arranged'with reference to the other jaw 14, having similar dimensions with respect thereto and to the die 19 with some notable exceptions. However, it is supported in like manner through a plate 31 similar to the above-described plate 27, in turn supported by fasteners 32, similar to previously described fasteners 28, secured to the last-mentioned jaw. However, the member 26, as viewed in FIG. 2, is laterally offset with reference to the member 25. It is not spaced from the jaw which carries it as by the above-described spacer 29 associated with the other jaw.
- One side face of the resilient member 26 is held in abutting relationship to the near side face of the jaw 14 which carries the member 26 and is laterally ffset in the tool inwardly toward the cen- 4 ter line of the tool with reference to the equivalent face of the resilient member 25.
- the resilient member 26 extends above or beyond the supporting plate 31 and extends as well above the bottoms of. the die cavities in the die 19.
- the upper surface or edge 33 of the resilient member 26 is planar.
- the last-mentioned member extends past the bottoms of the die cavities to a lesser extent than the resilient member 25 extends beyond the die cavities of the jaw 14 with which the member 25 is associated.
- a further difference between the members 25 and 26 is that the member 25 is more yieldable or softer than the member 26. The purpose of these differences between the members 25 and 26 in their construction and arrangement will become apparent hereinafter.
- An electrical terminal or connector of one type adapted to be crimped in the tool is indicated generally at 34 and is best shown in FIG. 2. It comprises a ferrule-like body part 35 serving as an electrical conductor which has an outer tubular covering fixed thereto of insulating material and which conductor has extending from one end thereof a tongue 36 adapted to be secured to another conductor such as a binding post. It will be noted that the tongue 36 projects from one side wall portion of the ferruleor barrel-like part 35 of the electrical connector. For crimping purposes the last-named portion of the terminal should be strongly backed by the die 19, that is, angularly arranged with reference to the dies 18 and 19 as shown in FIG. 2.
- the tool may be employed to crimp a terminal on either an insulated or uninsulated wire, and it should be under stood from the foregoing that the tube-covered ferrulelike part 35 at the end from which the tongue projects provides an edge or end surface of the tube creating an abutment for a purpose to be described hereinafter in connection with an alignment function of the work locator and holder.
- the insulating tube may be considered an integral part of the conductor body which form together the ferrule-like part 35.
- the ferrule-like part 35 may be considered as having as a part thereof the aforementioned surface providing an abutment.
- the wire shown inserted (FIG. 2) in the terminal is of the insulated type and is indicated generally at 37. The insulation is stripped back from an end portion of the wire conductor which is inserted in the terminal.
- the terminal 34 is inserted in the tool when the jaws are in the open condition of FIG. 3.
- the resilient member 26 acts as an axial stop engageable with the 'end of the barrel-like part 35 of the terminal from which the tongue 36 projects, that is, with the aforementioned edge or terminal surface which provides an abutment.
- the terminal is' inserted in the selected die cavity in the die 19 the barrel-like part 35 is stopped by the opposing side face of the resilient member 26.
- the tongue 36 of the terminal extends over the edge 33 of the resilient member 26, as shown'in-FIG. 2, and is partially or fully eng'ag'ed'by the last-mentioned edge.
- the engagement is sueh that the terminal tends to lie in fiatwise relationship acrossthe edge 33 of the member 26 which is the proper angular relationship of the terminal with reference to the nal may be grasped between the resilient members 25 and 26; In'this position of the members, the member 25 overlaps the'near end of the terminal body 35 to a greater extent than"thef'memberf26, as shown in FIG. 2. During this movementof themembers 25 and 26 with the jaws of the tool any angular misalignment of the terminal tends to be corrected thro'ugh engagement of the aforementioned planar edges with the flat sides of the tongue 36.
- the re silient members 25 and 26 of the work holder are so constructed and arranged with reference to the jaws of the tool that they tend .to grip and support the tongue of the connector before any crimping of the terminal takes place, at which time the jaws of the tool may lightly engage the barrel-like portion of the terminal to lightly grip it.
- the tongue of the terminal Prior to firm engagement of the dies on the jaws of the tool with the terminal, the tongue of the terminal maybe grasped by the operator and, if the terminal is not properly axially aligned, that is, in the previously described position with reference to the dies, the terminal may be pulled to the left as viewed in FIG. 2 until it is so positioned.
- the terminal When the terminal is properly oriented both angularly and axially as aforesaid and the dies on the jaws lightly grip the terminal to give it support but prior to crimping of the terminal, the aforementioned elements and 22 of themotion-compelling mechanism are engaged with one another so that the handles of the tool may not reopen to permit the terminal to drop out of the tool.
- the handles of the tool may not be reopened until after the completion of the crimping operation due to the action of the motioncompelling mechanism.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings These relative positions of the jaws of the tool and the elements of the work locator and holder with reference to the terminal are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings.
- the resilient element 25 acts as a stop for the wire inserted in the terminal which is engaged with the near face of the resilient member 25 providing a wire abutment.
- the lateral offset of the member 25 with reference to the member 26 (FIG. 2) permits the wire to extend through the barrel of the terminal.
- the wire-stopping face of the member 25 is approximately in the median plane (FIG. 2) of the member 26.
- the members 25 and 26 overlap vertically to a substantial extent so as to be in opposing relation to one another.
- the terminal locator and holder attains the stated objects. It is very efficient and reliable in operation.
- the resilient member 25 thereof is constructed of a more yieldable material than the resilient member 26 for the purpose previously indicated.
- the material of the member 25 may have a durometer of 50 while the material of the member 26 may have a durometer of 70.
- a terminal locator and holder comprising a pair of resilient rubberlike terminal-gripping members, one mounted on each jaw at one end of the corresponding die and in generally opposing but somewhat laterally offset relation to the other member, at the same side of the tool, each resilient member projecting in a direction past the bottom of the corresponding die cavity toward the other member and one of the members projecting in this direction to a lesser extent than the other, the last-mentioned one of said members having a side face thereof serving as an abutment engageable by said end of the terminal barrel near said tongue which extends over the member, to axially orientate the terminal when inserted between the open dies,
- handles are provided for operating said jaws and there is provided a motion-compelling mechanism comprising an element on each handle coacting with the element on the other handle to prevent the jaws from reopening after initial closing movement of the jaws until the terminal has been crimped, to thereby inhibit dislocation of said terminal with reference to the jaws when the latter are in said somewhat closed condition.
- said resilient members of the terminal locator and holder comprise narrow blocks lying in planes parallel to the longitudinal median planes of the jaws and wherein the projecting portions of said resilient members are provided with substantially planar surfaces which engage the terminal tongue.
- said resilient members of the terminal locator and holder comprise narrow blocks lying in planes parallel to the longitudinal median planes of the jaws and wherein the projecting portions of said resilient members of the terminal locator and holder are provided with substantially planar surfaces which engage the terminal tongue.
- each die has a plurality of die cavities therein and each of said narrow blocks projects in the aforesaid manner beyond the bottom of each die cavity.
- a terminal locator and holder comprising a pair of resilient rubberlike terminal-gripping members, one mounted on each jaw at one end of the corresponding die and at least in generally opposing relation to the other member, at the same side of the tool, each resilient member projecting in a direction past the bottom of the corresponding die cavity toward the other member and one of the members projecting in this direction to a lesser extent than the other, the last-mentioned one of said members having a side face thereof serving as an abutment engageable by said end of the terminal barrel near said tongue which extends over the member, to axially orientate the terminal when inserted between the open dies, said projecting portions of the resilient members being-engageable
- said resilient members of the terminal locator and holder comprise narrow blocks lying in planes parallel to the longitudinal median planes of the jaws and wherein the projecting portions of said resilient members are provided with substantially planar surfaces to engage the terminal tongue.
- each die has a plurality of die cavities therein and each of said narrow blocks projects in the aforesaid manner beyond the bottom of each die cavity.
