Publication number: 20240075643Abstract: A pipe cutting device includes a cutting element, a counter-holder, and a C-shaped working head. The counter-holder is formed by the working head and the cutting element protrudes into a C-opening. The working head merges into a foot part and the cutting element is accommodated in a displacement part. The displacement part is movably arranged with the cutting element in an offset part and/or the counter-holder has rollers, and each two rollers are mounted in pairs on a rocker part. A further pipe cutting device has an offset part and a counter-holder which are formed on a C-shaped working head, wherein the working head merges into a foot part which can also be used as a handle area, and the offset part can be offset relative to the foot part in order to change an opening width of the working head. In addition, the offset part has a cutting element.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: KNIPEX-Werk C.

Patent number: 11123887Abstract: Shears having two limbs connected at a revolute joint, each limb comprising a handle region at one end and a cutting edge at the other end. One limb is fixed relative to the revolute joint during an opening and closing movement, and one limb is movable. The limbs move between an open position and a closed position while being limited by a stop and, in the closed position, the cutting edges pass each other over substantially their entire length. On the handle side of the revolute joint, one limb extends relative to the other limb such that it is supported in a planar manner on both sides in a region of overlap with the other limb, wherein the limbs comprise surface regions which, in the closed position, rest against one another in the region in which they are on top of each other and are each exposed on the opposite side.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: KNIPEX-Werk C.

Patent number: 10751857Abstract: A pair of pliers having two pliers legs that are arranged in a crossing manner, wherein a fixed joint is formed, having a joint pin. The joint pin has a first conical portion that widens towards the outer side, wherein, the pliers leg is assigned a second conical portion which bears on the first conical portion and transitions into a first mouth portion that leads into the outer side of the pliers leg. The joint pin has a second mouth portion which, starting from the outer side of the pliers leg and perpendicularly to a joint axis, overlaps the first mouth portion. The first and second mouth portion, bound a circular clearance between one another, the radial dimension of the clearance corresponding to 0.05 to 0.15 times the radial dimension, measured from the joint axis of the joint pin in the region of the second mouth portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: KNIPEX-Werk C.

Patent number: 9321152Abstract: The invention relates to A pliers (1) having two pliers limbs (2, 3) which are connected so as to be pivotable relative to one another in a box joint having a joint pin (4), a working region (7, 8) being formed on one pliers limb (2, 3) on the one side of the joint and a gripping region (9, 10) being formed on the other side of the joint, and a passed-through pliers limb (3) being formed with a push-through slot (11) which has a slot width (s) in the joint region and through which the other through-passing pliers limb (2) extends, the working regions of the pliers limbs (2, 3) moreover having, at least in part, a width (b) that is greater than the slot width (s), and the working regions (7, 8) designed in the form of jaws or cutting edges pivoting toward a shared central plane (E). In order to improve the pliers with regard to high performance while optimizing manufacturability, it is proposed that the joint pin (4) be laterally offset with respect to the central plane (E).Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2011Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: KNIPEX-Werk C.

Patent number: 7845255Abstract: The invention relates to pliers, especially cutting pliers or crimping pliers, comprising limbs which cross in a single joint in the longitudinal direction thereof, form co-operating working regions on one side of the joint, and embody grips on the other side of the joint. The limbs are interconnected in such a way that they can only rotate in relation to each other, and co-operating recesses are provided on both limbs in order to guide the rotation. A rotational axis of the limbs is located outside the recesses, on the side of the working regions, and a first limb in the joint region is respectively covered, i.e. on both sides, by a lapping part which is connected to the other limb in a fixed manner. The aim of the invention is to provide the inventive pliers with an advantageous structure for the transfer of high gripping forces, also in terms of the forces acting in the joint. To this end, the lapping part is connected to the other limb in such a way that it covers the recesses of the first limb.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Knipex-Werk C.
