Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gripper with the Features of the preamble of claim 1 which DE 296 20 588 U is known.
  • gripping pliers are from practice and in particular from the publications DE-PS 805 265 and DE-92 18 069 U1 known.
  • the cross Forceps handle and the forceps bracket in one joint, the one elongated locking hole includes.
  • the forceps handle forms the lower jaw as well as the upper one Handle lever, while the pliers bracket is the upper one in use Pliers jaw and the lower handle lever forms.
  • a pin that forms the bearing axis of the joint is in the Cross-section shaped like a star or round and engages in Longitudinal direction of the slot in the im Pliers bracket a locking hole.
  • the spigot is in its latched position from an unprotected one Leaf spring biased, which is on the the journal opposite the outside of the joint.
  • To the Adjusting the mouth width of the known gripping pliers is the Pin against the force of the leaf spring in the pliers joint indent so that its larger cross section from the The locking hole is pushed out. Then the clamp can be adjusted against the pliers handle to the desired extent. As soon as the pin is released, the leaf spring presses him in the engaged position with the locking hole, and the The intended jaw width of the gripper is fixed.
  • the slotted handle and the Pliers bracket in the joint area through the pliers handle through put is the slotted handle and the Pliers bracket in the joint area through the pliers handle through put.
  • the aim is the clamp in the joint area to about half of the Total thickness to be dimensioned so that the load-bearing surfaces of the am Locking pins on the joint parts on the clamp and Pliers handle are about the same size Gripping pliers it is therefore necessary to solve the Snap connection the locking pin by about half Pliers thickness corresponding amount across the longitudinal plane of the pliers to relocate. It is perceived as a disadvantage that this path is relatively long and the free actuation end the locking bolt laterally significantly in the rest position the joint protrudes.
  • DE 296 20 588 U shows a gripper similar to that documents mentioned above.
  • the pliers bracket slotted and the Pliers handle can be inserted. Training the The joint is not described.
  • This task is carried out by a gripper with the characteristics of claim 1 solved.
  • An easy-to-manufacture adjustment element results if this one is essentially rotationally symmetrical Includes locking pin.
  • the locking pin can be in its Position of engagement at the same time the bearing axis of the joint form. Good storage continues if the Locking pin a first area of smaller diameter, a second area of medium diameter and one has third area of larger diameter.
  • a particularly robust embodiment that also works against Damage and pollution is insensitive looks before that the one locking hole of the pliers bracket a number of itself overlapping, small locking holes of a first Has bore diameter and the other Locking hole a number of overlapping large locking holes a second larger bore diameter, wherein also a hole of the first diameter and one Bore of second diameter arranged coaxially to one another are.
  • This embodiment is further improved by that the locking pin in the engaged position with his second area of medium diameter in a bore of the engages the first locking hole and with its third area large diameter in a hole in the second locking hole engages so that the locking pin in the pliers plane is positively fixed, and the locking pin in the Adjustment position in its first area small Diameter longitudinally displaceable in the first locking hole engages and middle with its second area Diameter longitudinally displaceable in the second locking hole engages so that the locking pin in the plane of the pliers Overall length of the locking holes is displaceable.
  • a helical spring is advantageously provided as the spring, which engages in an axially parallel bore of the locking pin.
  • the forceps handle acts as an abutment in the area of the joint a pin arranged transversely to the locking pin against which the spring is supported and which penetrates the locking pin. With this pin the locking pin is captively secured.
  • Figure 1 shows a gripping pliers according to the invention a slotted tongs 1 and a push-through Forceps handle 2.
  • the forceps bracket 1 carries in his slotted joint area 3 an elongated locking hole 4, the in this embodiment of a total of 7 rounds Bores 5 is formed.
  • the holes 5 are in one straight line next to each other and overlap partially.
  • the clamp 1 carries an upper one Pliers jaw 6 and a lower one in use Handle section 7.
  • the pliers handle 2 carries a lower jaw 8 and an upper one in use Handle section 9.
  • a locking pin 11 is provided, both penetrates the clamp 1 and the handle 2 and the one in the locked position in the locking hole 4th immovable bearing axis for the clamp 1 and Pliers handle 2 forms.
  • FIG. 2 shows the locking pin 11 in a side view.
  • the locking pin 11 has one essentially rotationally symmetrical base body 12. This carries a first area 13 of smaller diameter, one the area 14 adjoining the second area 14 middle Diameter and one adjoining the area 14 third area 15 of large diameter.
  • the areas 13 and 14 and 14 and 15 are each via a chamfer 16 attached to each other.
  • Sitting inside the locking pin 11 in the middle an axial blind bore 17, which the area 13 and the area 14 completely penetrated.
  • One with the Base body 12 screwed or glued cap 18th closes the blind hole at its open end.
  • a coil spring 19 is used in the Blind bore 17 .
  • the base body 12 of the locking pin 11 is transverse, d. H. in the radial direction, from an elongated hole 20 interspersed.
  • FIG 3 the joint area of the gripping pliers according to Figure 1 approximately in a cross section along the line III-III shown in Figure 1.
  • the clamp 1 points in this area an upper cheek 21 and a lower cheek 22 on.
  • the upper cheek 21 carries the locking hole 4 with its overlapping holes 5, while the lower cheek 22 a corresponding locking hole 24 and overlapping bores 25 having.
  • the pliers handle 2 runs in this Joint area between the two cheeks 21 and 22 of the Pliers bracket 1.
  • the pliers handle 2 also has a round Through hole 26 on a radially transverse at one end is assigned via the bore 26 extending pin 27.
  • the locking hole 4 is so with its overlapping holes 5 designed that the diameter of each hole 5 the Inner diameter of the bore 26 of the gripper arm 2 corresponds to, while in the overlap area two Adjacent holes 5 the clear cross section of the Rest hole 2 is narrowed.
  • This design of a rest hole is generally known from adjustable water pump pliers.
  • the locking hole 24 of the lower cheek 22 is in the clear width made larger. Here corresponds to Area of overlap between two bores 25 in its clear width of the bore diameter of the holes 5 and 26, while the actual bore diameter of the Bores 25 is larger than this.
  • FIG. 4 finally shows the locking pin according to FIG. 2 (rotated 90 ° around its axis) according to the joint area Figure 3 used. Identify the same reference numbers components already described here.
  • the locking pin 12 In the engagement position shown is the locking pin 12 its area 13 of smaller diameter outside the Forceps joint, while the area 14 middle Diameter a locking hole 5 and the bore 26 of the Pliers handle 2 interspersed.
  • the pin 27 passes through the slot 20 of the locking pin 11, so that the coil spring 19 with one end against the pin 27 and can support against the head 18 with the other end. On in this way, the coil spring 19 tensions the locking pin 11 in the joint in this snap position.
  • a shift of the locking pin in the axial direction simple amount of the thickness of a cheek 21 or 22 sufficient to completely unlock the pliers joint. If the pliers joint is dimensioned so that the same Each cheek can bear the same load on surfaces 21 and 22 are kept narrower in width than that Joint area of the forceps handle. For example, from the Total thickness of the joint each cheek 21 and 22 a quarter make up while the thickness of the forceps in this Area makes up half. With this configuration is so it is possible to increase the height of the area 13 by a quarter the total thickness of the joint in this area, so that the axial displacement for unlocking must be only a quarter of the thickness. Both known grippers with adjustable, lockable Maul is the required actuation path of the locking element each twice as large.
