  • Patent number: 11362490
    Abstract: A coating stripping device includes a rotation driving tool and a coating stripping tool. A rotating disk of the rotation driving tool includes a first rotating disk having a projection, and a second retaining member of the coating stripping tool has a feather-shaped part. The coating stripping tool in the released state is attached to the second rotating disk and the first rotating disk rotates in a predetermined direction to bring the feather-shaped part into contact with the projection, thereby switching the coating stripping tool into the retained state, and when the coating stripping tool is in the retained state, the first rotating disk rotates in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction to bring the feather-shaped part into contact with the projection, thereby switching the coating stripping tool into the released state.

  • Patent number: 10574038
    Abstract: Provided is a wire gripper which is capable of efficiently supplying a gripping force without inviting an increase in size and weight. A wire gripper grips a sheathed wire which is illustrated by an imaginary line. The wire gripper has a base part which pivotally supports link pieces on the lower side thereof so as to be swingable. The link pieces have ends, respectively, both of which are coupled to an operating arm so as to form a parallel link. Illustrated are an upper gripping body (a first gripping body) and a lower gripping body (a second gripping body), by which the sheathed wire is sandwiched. Of the gripping bodies, the upper gripping body is secured to the base part. The lower gripping body is coupled to the link pieces so as to be retractable from the upper gripping body.

  • Patent number: 10268231
    Abstract: A lock structure is constituted of a gear and an engagement/disengagement switching section. The gear is disposed concentric with a turning center of an operating lever. The engagement/disengagement switching section is provided with an engagement pawl such that the engagement pawl can move toward and away from the gear. The engagement pawl is connected to a switching lever to form a substantially T-like shape, and the switching lever is pivotally supported by a body section of the engagement/disengagement switching section. A locking operation of the switching lever switches between the locked state and unlocked state of the operating lever. In an engaged state, a gap having an opening angle of ? in a direction in which the operating lever loosens is formed between a tooth groove of the gear and the engagement pawl.
