  • These tongs include two jaws in a collet head.
  • One of these jaws is stationary and the other is linearly movable relative to the stationary jaw by means of a drive mechanism.
  • the collet head forms a housing comprising at least three connected matching plates that enclose the jaws and their drive mechanism.
  • the movable jaw is supported on a cam disk that can be rotated by a displaceable handle or some other drive means.
  • the tongs or presses used for such purposes usually include two relatively movable jaws with suitable press profiles.
  • One of these jaws is displaceably guided in a suitably shaped collet head and is caused to move back and forth relative to the other, which serves as a stationary counter jaw, by means of a handle via an intermediate drive mechanism. It is difficult and thus expensive to manufacture such tongs.
  • the relatively compact collet head which houses the jaws and the drive mechanism for the movable jaw is made of one piece, for example, by milling and drilling. This requires a number of different manufacturing machines and skilled personnel. In addition, it is cumbersome and time consuming to insert the movable members of the tongs into such a collet head.
  • this object is achieved by employing tongs with a linear path of work for pressing, perforating, separating and the like, especially for manufacturing solderless line-connections.
  • These tongs include two jaws in a collet head, one of these jaws being stationary and the other being linearly movable back and forth relative to the stationary jaw.
  • the movable jaw is guided in the collet head and is caused to move by means of a drive mechanism.
  • the collet head forms a housing that encloses the jaws and the drive mechanism for the movable jaw.
  • This housing consists of at least three superimposed flat matching plates, the two outer plates forming the cover plates and corresponding to the contour of the collet head.
  • the intermediate plate or plates have lateral cut-outs or are smaller at their sides than the cover plates to form a space for receiving the jaws and the jaw drive mechanism. All plates are connected by means of traversing pins, jaws, screws, rivets, or the like in order to form the collet head, which is composed of a package of plates.
  • the collet head comprises substantially five superimposed matching plates, namely, two lateral cover plates that expose the mouth of the tongs only in the operating area of the jaws, two shim plates of about halfthc width of the cover plates, and an intermediate holding plate that passes over into a stationary handle or tong leg.
  • the shim plates and the holding plate are located between the cover plates and are displaced in such a direction relative to the backside of the collet head that there remains a free space on the side of the mouth of the collet head for guiding the movable jaw.
  • the proper drive mechanism for the movable jaw can take any suitable form and can be actuated by the movable handle, for example, by means of an intermediate elbow lever drive.
  • the drive mechanism for the rotatable cam disk comprises a free running gear that operates in only one direction.
  • the novel tongs are shaped parts, which, together with all required bores, slots, and cut-outs, can be precisely manufactured in a single working operation, for example, by cutting, punching, casting, or the like.
  • both jaws are provided with matched press profiles and can be replaced by other jaws having different press profiles.
  • the jaws can also form an upper die (matrix) and a lower die for perforating, cutting, or otherwise shaping materials.
  • the jaws also may be provided with a cutting edge and a counter edge, when they are to be used for separating or shearing work pieces.
  • tongs constructed in accordance with the preferred embodiments of this invention is based on the fact that especially the stationary jaw in the collet head may be a multiple use jaw which can be inverted to provide different press profiles.
  • the movable jaw can also be exchanged or modified to provide different working profiles.
  • the tongs can be accommodated to the different strength of materials or the changing wire or cable dimensions.
  • springs or locks can be provided in the collet head that on the one hand assist to open the tongs but on the other hand prevent the tongs from being opened too early, i.e. before the pressing operation is completed.
  • a roller is provided at the lower end of the jaw and supported on the contour of the cam disk under the action of a spring.
  • the mounting pin of the cam disk is provided with shoulders, guides, coupling members, or the like for replaceably mounting the movable handle of the tongs or for connecting a separate drive mechanism.
  • the novel tongs of this invention may also be used as a machinery insert since the upper part of the tongs can be connected to a drive motor, a gear, or the like by means of a plug-in connection to the cam disk after the movable handle has been removed.
  • the upper part of the tongs can also be connected to a separate drive mechanism by means of a flexible shaft or a drive shaft so that, for example, solderless cable connections or the like can be manufactured in switch cabinets of only limited space without the use of bulky handles or tong legs.
  • tongs constructed in accordance with some of the preferred embodiments of this invention is based on the use of the cam disk, which comprises a slowly increasing curved section for closing the jaws and a subsequent steeply decreasing curved section for causing the return of the jaws to their normal open position.
  • the curve of the cam disk which is always pivotable by 360, allows the exertion of high working pressures.
  • the movable handle or tong leg may. for example, in this case comprise a ratchet handle.
  • the upper part of the tongs should be mounted at a drive housing separate from the tongs. no handles or tong legs are required.
  • the upper part of the tongs preferably should be directly plugged into the drive housing or connected thereto via a flexible shaft, a drive shaft, or the like.
  • the drive housing not only includes a drive motor but also a reduction gear drive and a time switch for deactivating the tongs after each operating action. It may also include a counting means with the necessary start and stop switches or a connection for a foot-operated switch.
