Tool Having Constant Angular Orientation Patents (Class 72/409.08)
  • Patent number: 10632517
    Abstract: Provided is a crimp structure in which an inner member and an outer member that is arranged outside the inner member are joined to each other. The inner member includes: an insertion portion having a columnar surface-like outer circumferential surface; and a recessed portion provided in the outer circumferential surface. The outer member includes: a cylindrical portion that forms an opening into which the insertion portion is inserted; a reduced-diameter portion that is formed in the cylindrical portion, and has a plastically deformed shape such that a diameter of the cylindrical portion is reduced annularly inward in a radial direction; and a protruding portion that has a plastically deformed shape such that a part, in a circumferential direction, of the reduced-diameter portion has entered the recessed portion. Relative rotation of the inner member and the outer member can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 8087160
    Abstract: A compression assembly tool for attaching a connector to a coaxial cable includes a tool body that supports a connector to be compressed in a compression head, a fixed handle, a moving lever handle, and an axially sliding plunger. The lever handle is pivotally connected to the tool body at the front end and to a link at the back end. The connection of the link to the back end of the lever handle and the placement of pivot points at opposite ends of the lever handle provides a scissor action appearance. The relative lengths of the lever handle, plunger and link and the placement of the pivots provides high levels of compression force and sufficient compression travel by the plunger to compress connectors of different lengths while requiring only a very limited handle opening angle, which allows maximum hand strength to be applied to the tool handles.

  • Patent number: 7997116
    Abstract: The invention relates to a link for a crimping tool (2) comprising at least two crimping dies (12,14,16,18) and two tool handles (6,8), where the movable link (23) is arranged between the tool handles (6,8), the link (23) having an opening (72) arranged to engage a guide element (70) on a first handle (6) and being pivotally fixed to a second handle (8), where the guide element (70) is arranged to move from engagement with a first edge (71) of the opening (72) into engagement with a second opposite edge (73) of the opening (72) when the handles (6,8) are brought together to a position where the workpiece (19) is engaged by the crimping dies (12,14,16,18), the link (23) thus enabling the person using the crimping tool (2) to utilize the optimum gripping range of the hand that is about to exert a large force on the handles (6,8) in order to bring them further together for the crimping of the workpiece (19), this regardless of the dimension of the workpiece (19) to be crimped.
