  • Publication number: 20200130145
    Abstract: A hand tool with a clampable operating area at an upper part of the tool, and two opposed handles extending to a lower part of the tool and being arranged to govern the clampable operating area between an open and a closed position, wherein a toothed pin is pivotally arranged between the handles extending downwards, wherein a support and a pawl are arranged on a first handle of the two handles at a distance from each other forming a space between them, in which space the toothed pin is to be received, and wherein an interaction of the toothed pin and the pawl impedes reverse motion of the handles during a closing action thereof, The interaction of the toothed pin and the pawl is such that reverse motion of the handles becomes possible at a specific release point that corresponds to a specific relative position of the handles.

  • Patent number: 9413129
    Abstract: A locator and wire stop device mounted on a hand operated crimping tool for locating and retaining at least one crimpable connector part between two crimping dies of the hand operated crimping tool. The locator and wire stop device includes a positioning mechanism for cooperation with a connector comprising the crimpable connector part, an axially protruding connection part, and an intermediate connector body comprising a transversal protrusion. The positioning mechanism comprises a pivotable connector and wire stop element, a first resilient locator element and a second locator element. The first resilient locator element retains the connection part of the connector. During a crimping operation, the first resilient locator element abuts against an axial end of the transversal protrusion and the pivotable connector and wire stop element axially blocks the other axial end of the transversal protrusion, thereby positioning and retaining the connector in the crimping tool.

  • Patent number: 9381631
    Abstract: A hand operated crimping tool with at least three crimping dies, the crimping surfaces of which together enclose a crimp opening arranged to receive a workpiece to be crimped. The crimping dies have movable pivot points that move when the handles of the tool are moved relative to each other. Each of the crimping dies is arranged between two guide elements on the body of the crimping tool and further has a respective cam surface and a respective stop surface, the respective cam surface being arranged to cooperate with a guide surface on one of the guide elements and the respective stop surface being arranged to cooperate with a guide surface on the other one of the guide elements, thus guiding the movement of the respective crimping die when the pivot points for the crimping dies are moved relative to the body of the crimping tool.

  • Patent number: 9184548
    Abstract: A hand operated crimping tool comprising a body arranged between a distal end and a proximal end of the crimping tool, a tool head arranged distally on the crimping tool, and handles arranged proximally on the crimping tool, where at least one handle is pivotally arranged, and where the relative movement of the tool handles is connected to the relative movement of crimping dies, between which crimping dies at least one workpiece is arranged to be crimped. The tool head comprises a main head part and a pivotable head part, where the movement of the pivotally arranged handle(s) is connected to the movement of the pivotable head part via the body and a mechanism, whereby the pivotable head part of the tool head is movable between an open head position and a closed head position depending on the relative position of the tool handles.

  • Patent number: 9083133
    Abstract: A hand operated crimping tool comprising a body arranged between a distal end and a proximal end of the crimping tool, a tool head arranged distally on the crimping tool, and handles arranged proximally on the crimping tool, where at least one handle is arranged pivotally to the body, and where the tool head is arranged axially slidable along the body. A distal crimping die is arranged at the tool head and a proximal crimping die is arranged at the body between which crimping dies a workpiece is to be crimped. The movement of the handles is connected to the movement of the tool head by a mechanism, whereby the tool head is movable between a distal non-crimping position and a proximal crimping position depending on the relative position of the tool handles.

  • Publication number: 20140115890
    Abstract: A locator and wire stop device arranged to be mounted on a hand operated crimping tool outside of and adjacent to a crimp opening defined by crimping dies on the hand operated crimping tool and arranged to locate and retain at least one crimpable connector part between at least two crimping dies of the hand operated crimping tool. The locator and wire stop device includes a positioning mechanism for cooperation with a connector comprising the crimpable connector part, an axially protruding connection part, and an intermediate connector body comprising a transversal protrusion. The positioning mechanism comprises a pivotable connector and wire stop element, a first resilient locator element and a second locator element. The first resilient locator element has respective through holes arranged to receive and radially retain the connection part of the connector.

  • Publication number: 20070113398
    Abstract: A contact-pressing tool for radial contact pressing of a contact piece on an end portion of a cable comprises a cup-shaped part (33), which receives the end of the cable (20), and a gland (31), which surrounds the wall of the cup-shaped part (33) and can be pushed up axially on the same in order to, by wedge action, radially press the wall of the cup-shaped part (33) against the circumference of the cable. The tool comprises two mutually linearly movable clamping jaws (1, 2). A first one (1) of the clamping jaws is a turret (10), which has a plurality of different adapters (40) placed along an arc of a circle centred to the axis (12) of the turret. A releasable locking holds the turret in a set rotary position, for which a chosen adapter (40) is directed toward a slot (7) in the second jaw (2) for the cable (20) premounted to the contact piece (30).
