Publication number: 20230249320Abstract: A locking pliers includes a pliers-body, a rotating shaft and an operating and pivoting unit. The pliers-body includes a fixed jaw, a movable jaw and a jaw end member disposed on the movable jaw. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected with the fixed jaw about a pivot axis and is movable along the pivot axis, and has clamp and insert ends. A clamp member is disposed on the clamp end. A pivot member extends through the fixed jaw and connected with the rotating shaft and is operable to move the rotating shaft close to or away from the fixed jaw. A retaining member extends through the fixed jaw and the rotating shaft to retain the rotating shaft to a first or second position. With the rotating shaft rotated between first and second positions, the locking pliers can be shifted to two types of use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventor: Ming-Chieh WU

The clamping recess has opposite first and second sides. The clamping recess has a serrated bottom side. The serrated bottom side includes a first high tooth and at least one tooth. The first high tooth has a greater depth than the at least one tooth. Tips of the first high tooth and the at least one tooth extend longitudinally between the first and second sides of the clamping recess.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2018Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventor: Ming-Chieh Wu

Patent number: 9180576Abstract: A pair of hose clamp pliers for clamping a hose is provided with two clamping plates. The pliers include two clamping ends capable of moving toward or away from each other. The two clamping plates are fixedly connected to the two clamping ends and provided with movement guide protrusions and movement stop protrusions. With the protrusions formed along the periphery of the two clamping plates and the gaps defined by the protrusions, the hose clamp pliers can clamp the hose clamp in different directions, so that it can be adapted to different work requirements or environments, for example, in a narrow space. Further, the movement guide protrusions and movement stop protrusions restrict the hose clamp in two different directions, so as to improve clamping stability.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Inventor: Ming-Chieh Wu

Patent number: 8950299Abstract: A locking pliers includes a fixed handle supporting a fixed jaw, a movable jaw, a movable handle pivotally connected to the movable jaw about a pivotal axis, and a movable pivot unit disposed on the fixed handle and the movable jaw. The pivot unit includes a pivot pin and a pivot hole configured to loosely receive the pivot pin such that, when a manual turning force is applied to the movable handle, the movable jaw is turned clockwise to a locking position. As a result of abutting engagement between the pivot pin and a leading region of the pivot hole, a friction force is generated to hold the movable jaw in a tightening position. The gripping force between fixed and movable clamping surfaces of the jaws can be firm and stable.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Inventor: Ming-Chieh Wu
