  • Publication number: 20240106179
    Abstract: A pressing tool has two grips movable relative to one another, a crimping unit with a crimping drum arranged in a tool head of the pressing tool and having at least one crimping die and a depository for storing a strip of ferrules connected to one another as a belt. The tool also includes a transport device movable in a prestressed manner toward the crimping drum to transport the ferrule strip from the depository toward the crimping drum. The transport device has a transport plate and a transport lever pivotably arranged and sprung relative to the transport plate. The transport lever has an attachment close to the crimping drum that can be pressed in between adjacent ferrules there arranged. The attachment is arranged between the transport device and a support surface of a head cap. There is a holding-down device which is spring supported on the support surface and which presses the transport plate against the transport lever.

  • Publication number: 20240047928
    Abstract: A crimping drum for a pressing tool for processing strips of interconnected wire ferrules comprising a housing having a movement axis and a die part arranged thereon, the die part having a nest to accommodate a wire ferrule of the strip, the die part being resiliently accommodated perpendicular to the movement axis in a receptacle of the housing. A pressing tool has two handles which are movable relative to one another, a crimping station with a crimping drum and a crimping stamp, and a depot for storing a strip of interconnected wire ferrules.

  • Publication number: 20240039255
    Abstract: A stripping unit of a pressing tool for cutting into and stripping a conductor insulation of a conductor cable has a first clamping jaw with a first clamping lip and a cutting unit mounted in the clamping jaw. An adjustment unit for variably adjusting a cutting depth of the cutting unit is arranged in the clamping jaw. Also described are a pressing tool and a method for mounting an adjustment unit of a stripping unit.

  • Patent number: 7325438
    Abstract: A crimping tool is provided for crimping upon on a shielded data cable a plug connector having a body portion, and a cable shield clamping portion that is initially angularly arranged in an open loading position, characterized by the provision of a pair of operating handles that are pivotally connected for relative movement from an open position toward a partially closed intermediate position, thereby to displace the cable shield portion toward a crimping position in alignment with the plug connector body portion. A crimping arrangement is subsequently operable upon displacement of the handles from the intermediate position to the closed position to crimp not only the clamping portion concentrically about the outer circumferential surface of the shielded data cable, but also the region at the end of the plug connector body portion adjacent the clamping portion, thereby to crimp the female contacts of the plug connector onto the bare conductors of the cable.

  • Patent number: 7055361
    Abstract: A pliers-type handtool is provided for crimping an electrical connector upon one end of an insulated conductor, including a crimping drum that is mounted on a fixed member for rotation between first and second positions, and an actuating lever that is reciprocated by pivotal movement of the handle portions of the handtool to rotate the drum between its first and second positions. The actuating lever is connected with the drum by a lateral slot of divergent width that receives a drum pin that extends axially from one end of the drum, the slot having a width adjacent its bottom that corresponds generally with the diameter of the drum pin.

  • Patent number: 6895836
    Abstract: A pliers-type handtool includes fixed and movable handle members pivotally connected intermediate their ends, a movable jaw member pivotally connected with the fixed handle member jaw end, and a toggle device connecting the movable jaw member with the movable handle member. A cutting member is mounted for reciprocation within a chamber defined between the fixed handle member and the movable jaw member. When the toggle device is operated from an expanded condition to a collapsed condition, the cutting member is displaced away from the clamping jaws, thereby to remove from the conductor the insulation layer that is severed from the conductor by opposed knife blades carried by the cutting member.

  • Patent number: 5724870
    Abstract: Have a pliers housing (2), two clamping jaws (4, 28) which can be pivoted relative to each other to form a mouth (29) of the pliers, in which mouth two stripping members (51, 59) are arranged such that they can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the mouth by a pull-rod (37), two handles (3, 12), which can be pivoted relative to each other, and a drive device, which is arranged in the pliers housing (2) and can be driven by the pivoting movement of the handles (3, 12) for pivoting the clamping jaws (4, 28) relative to each other and for longitudinal displacement of the pull-rod (37). The drive device has cam discs (18a, 18b) via which both the relative pivoting of the clamping jaws (4, 28) and the longitudinal displacement of the pull-rod (37) can be controlled.
