Publication number: 20180115132Abstract: The invention relates to a crimping tool locator (1). The crimping tool locator comprises a component (3), in particular a base body (4), which is preferably manufactured from a transparent plastic material. Accommodations (5) of the base body (4) for a workpiece (6) are each equipped with a lining (41) which can e.g. be manufactured from a transparent plastic material or metal. Despite of the use of a material which in some cases comprises a reduced wear resistance or hardness by use of the lining (41) it is possible to provide a large lifetime of the crimping tool locator (1) and the accommodations (5). By use of a transparent plastic material for the base body (4) it is possible that the user of the crimping tool is able to inspect the accommodation (5) from the outside and to analyse if a workpiece (6) arranged in the accommodation (5) is in the correct position. Preferably, a lightening device (9) is integrated into the crimping tool locator (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventors: Thomas Glockseisen, Kurt Battenfeld

Publication number: 20170239788Abstract: The invention relates to pliers (1). The pliers might be embodied as crimping pliers (2), cutting pliers or pipe crimping pliers. In the pliers (1) pliers jaws (3, 4) are driven by hand levers (8, 9) via a toggle lever drive (13). The toggle lever drive (13) is not formed by toggle lever rods or toggle lever bars. Instead, imaginary toggle levers are formed by a plurality of toggle lever components (35) which are movable along contact contours (30, 37; 33, 38) relative to each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2017Publication date: August 24, 2017Inventor: Kurt Battenfeld

Patent number: 9634451Abstract: The invention relates to crimping pliers (1). The crimping pliers comprise a spring element (7) which is located in the force flow between hand levers (3, 5) and dies (12). The spring element (7) builds a force-displacement-compensation element (8) which provides the option to be able to crimp workpieces with different cross-sectional areas with the crimping pliers (1). According to the invention, the spring element (7) which builds the force-displacement-compensation element (8) is built in the region of the pliers head (4) of the crimping pliers (1). Preferably, the spring element (7) is a spring in the shape of an arc of a circle or a spiral spring (44) which extends in circumferential direction around the die axis (13).Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: WEZAG GMBH WERKZEUGFABRIKInventor: Kurt Battenfeld

Patent number: 9583904Abstract: The inventions relates to crimping pliers with two hand levers (3, 5) and two actuation elements (9, 10) located in the region of a pliers head (4). The actuation elements (9, 10) actuates dies (12) between which a workpiece can be crimped. A toggle lever drive (33) with two toggle levers (34, 35) which build a toggle lever angle (36) acts between the hand levers (3, 5) and the actuation elements (9, 10). One toggle lever (34) is built by a roller (23) which is pivotably mounted to the hand lever (5). The roller (23) rolls along a curved track (24) fixed at the other hand lever (3). A forced locking unit (48) is built with a toothed latching lever (28) which is supported for being rotated relatively to the roller (23). A lever part (30) of the toothed latching lever (28) is coupled by a sliding guide to the hand lever (3), whereas the other lever part (29) of the toothed latching lever (28) forms a toothing (31) for latching of the forced locking unit (48).Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: WEZAG GMBH WERKZEUGFABRIKInventor: Kurt Battenfeld

Patent number: 9242349Abstract: The present invention relates to crimping pliers in particular used for forming at least three recesses at a contact element housing an electrical conductor. The inventive crimping pliers (1) comprise a toggle lever drive (6). The toggle lever drive (6) is built with an elastic pressure lever (18). The pressure lever (18) is preferably built with an offset or cranking (33) so that with the application of a longitudinal force the pressure lever (18) is biased by a bending. The flexible design of the pressure lever (18) provides a variable crimping stroke (in particular also in connection with a forced locking mechanism (28)) for different dimensions of the contact elements to be crimped.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2015Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: WEZAG GMBH WERKZEUGFABRIKInventor: Kurt Battenfeld

Patent number: 8984925Abstract: The present invention relates to a B-shaped crimping die for a crimping tool. The crimping tool and the crimping die are used for crimping a plug with an electrical cable located therein into a B-shape. The crimping die comprises a first crimping die half and a second crimping die half. A B-shaped crimping contour is defined by the crimping die halves in a closed state. A first crimping contour part of the first crimping die half and a second crimping contour part of the second crimping die half together build the crimping contour. Two transition points are located at the transitions between the two crimping contour parts. According to the invention an opening angle of a contour of the second crimping die half increases at said transition points in moving direction of the first crimping die half during the crimping process.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Wezag GmbH WerkzeugfabrikInventor: Kurt Battenfeld

Patent number: 8516872Abstract: The present invention relates to crimping pliers for crimping a workpiece. The crimping pliers comprise two hand levers. At the crimping pliers a first tool builds a crimping tool and comprises two crimping jaws located at a head of the pliers. The crimping jaws are linked by a transfer mechanism with the two hand levers. The invention suggests providing a second tool. The second tool comprises a working area, wherein the working area is located between the two hand levers. The second tool is solely mounted with a first hand lever of the two hand levers. The second hand lever comprises a contact surface cooperating with a contact surface of the second tool. The contact of the two contact surfaces is used for transferring an activating force from the hand levers to the second tool.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: WEZAG GmbH WerkzeugfabrikInventors: Kurt Battenfeld, Thomas Glockseisen
