Patent number: 4892015Abstract: Pliers for stripping the ends of conductors have a pair of handles (2 and 5) and a pair of gripping jaws (8 and 9). One (3) of the gripping jaws is integrated into one handle (2) to form a main component (1). The other handle (5) and the other jaw (6) pivot on the accordingly constituted main pliers component (1). The moving handle (5) and the moving gripping jaw (6) pivot around the same axis (4) on the main component (1) of the pliers. Stripping jaws (8 and 9) are articulated to a control lever (23) by way of a tensioning component (11). A stop (29), a control surface (30), and a limiting stop (31) are accommodated in the moving gripping jaw and associated strictly with the stripping motion.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1988Date of Patent: January 9, 1990Assignee: Wezag GmbHInventors: Horst Beetz, Kurt Battenfeld

Patent number: 4794780Abstract: A crimper for crimping cable terminals, cable connectors, and similar materials to electric conductors, optical conductors, etc. has two handles (2 & 7) that can be displaced toward each other and two crimping jaws (3 & 5), whereby one crimping jaw (5) is mounted so that it can move on the other (3). The moving handle (7) is mounted on an articulated support (19) on the moving crimping jaw (5). A toggle-lever drive mechanism consists of a pressure-application arm (8) and of a toggle-lever section (18) on the moving handle, whereby the ratio between lengths is at least approximately 2:1. The closing motion of the toggle-lever drive mechanism is terminated just before the extended state is attained by stops (24 & 25). At least one articulated support (19 or 20) can be displaced to vary the pressure. There is an automatic locking mechanism with a resiliently movable but stationary latch (11) that prevents the crimper from opening before crimping jaws have closed.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1987Date of Patent: January 3, 1989Assignee: WEZAG GmbH WerkzeugfabrikInventor: Kurt Battenfeld
