Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Pinzette, die in an sich bekannter Weise zwei Schenkel besitzt, die jeweils an einem ihrer Enden in Verbindung miteinander stehen und an ihren anderen Enden durch Einwirkung eines manuellen Schliessdrucks zum temporären Eingriff miteinander gebracht werden können.The invention relates to tweezers, which are known per se Way has two legs, each on one their ends are connected and at their ends other ends by the action of a manual closing pressure brought together for temporary intervention can.
Pinzetten dieser Art sind seit langem und in vielen Ausführungen bekannt, wie z.B. in DE GM 85 31 382, CH 376 064 und EP 0 849 048 beschrieben. Solche Pinzetten bestehen im wesentlichen aus zwei Schenkeln, meist aus Stahl, die jeweils an einem Ende durch Verschweissen, Verlöten oder Vernieten miteinander verbunden sind.Tweezers of this type have been around for a long time and in many designs known, e.g. in DE GM 85 31 382, CH 376 064 and EP 0 849 048. Such tweezers essentially exist from two legs, mostly made of steel, each at one end by welding, soldering or riveting are interconnected.
In DE GM 295 12 216 ist ferner eine einstückige und aus Stahl (siehe Werkstoffangabe 1.4021 in der Zeichnung) Zahnpinzette beschrieben, deren beide Schenkel durch einen Übergangsbereich miteinander verbunden sind, der das Ergebnis einer Materialverformung durch Biegen ist und vorzugsweise noch eine gebogene oder eingefräste Feder besitzen, um die für Pinzetten normalerweise erforderliche manuelle Schliesswiderstandskraft von mindestens etwa 50 g bzw. die damit zusammenhängende Rückstellkraft zu gewährleisten.In DE GM 295 12 216 is also a one-piece and from Steel (see material specification 1.4021 in the drawing) described, whose two legs by one Transition area connected to each other, which is the result material deformation by bending, and preferably still have a bent or milled spring, the manual one normally required for tweezers Closing resistance of at least about 50 g or the to ensure associated restoring force.
Aus US-A-5 192 106 ist ferner ein zum Beispiel aus Aluminium bestehendes einstückiges Greifwerkzeug für Compact Disks bekannt, welches jedoch nicht aus einem Strangprofil hergestelt werden kann.From US-A-5 192 106 there is also, for example, aluminum existing one-piece gripping tool for compact disks known, which, however, cannot be made from an extruded profile.
Für viele Zwecke der Verwendung von Pinzetten wäre es wünschbar, wenn solche Pinzetten aus Leichtmetall bestünden beziehungsweise einfach und wirtschaftlich aus Leichtmetall hergestellt werden könnten. Die Vorteile von Leichtmetallpinzetten liegen einerseits in der geringeren Masse und andererseits darin, dass die Möglichkeiten zur Oberflächengestaltung von Artikeln aus Leichtmetallen, wie Aluminium oder Magnesium bzw. Aluminium- oder Magnesiumlegierungen, durch die damit möglichen Oxidationsverfahren besonders vielfältig und sowohl bezüglich der Farbgebungsmöglichkeiten als auch der Oberflächeneigenschaften (z.B. dank der Härte von Aluminiumoxid) vorteilhaft wären und die ohne eine zusätzliche Feder eine ausreichende Schliesskraft bieten.For many purposes it would be using tweezers desirable if such tweezers were made of light metal or simply and economically from light metal could be made. The advantages of light metal tweezers lie on the one hand in the lower mass and on the other hand in that the possibilities for surface design of articles made of light metals, such as aluminum or magnesium or aluminum or magnesium alloys, due to the possible oxidation processes diverse and both in terms of color options as well as the surface properties (e.g. thanks to the Hardness of aluminum oxide) would be advantageous and without an additional spring offers sufficient closing force.
Die zur vorliegenden Erfindung führenden Versuche der Anmelderin haben jedoch gezeigt, dass sich dies nicht einfach durch Materialaustausch erzielen lässt, weil die Verbindung von Pinzettenschenkeln aus Leichtmetall durch Vernieten, Verschweissen oder Verkleben problematisch ist, die Verbindungsstelle unansehnlich wird, kostspielige Verfahren (Schutzgasschweissung) erfordert oder nicht ausreichend fest bzw. nicht ausreichend temperaturbeständig ist. Auch die in der oben genannten Schrift GM 295 12 216 beschriebene, durch biegende Verformung erzielte Einstückigkeit kommt für Pinzetten aus Leichtmetall wegen der Materialeigenschaften dieser Werkstoffe nicht - jedenfalls nicht ohne ein zusätzliches Federelement - in Frage.The applicant's experiments leading to the present invention have shown, however, that this is not easy through material exchange because the connection of tweezer legs made of light metal by riveting, Welding or gluing is problematic, the connection point becomes unsightly, costly procedures (Inert gas welding) required or not sufficient is firm or not sufficiently temperature-resistant. Also the one described in the above-mentioned document GM 295 12 216, One-piece achieved by bending deformation comes for light metal tweezers because of the material properties of these materials - at least not without them an additional spring element - in question.
Für Fachleute ist es an sich naheliegend, die mangelnde Steifigkeit bzw. Rückstellelastizität im Bereich der einstückigen Krümmung durch eine lokale Materialverdickung zu beheben, doch ist dies bei Leichtmetallen - wenn überhaupt - nur mit fertigungstechnisch ungünstigen und/oder kostspieligen Verfahren möglich.For experts, it is obvious that the lack Rigidity or resilience in the area of the one-piece Curvature due to local thickening of the material fix, but this is the case with light metals - if at all - only with production-technically unfavorable and / or expensive Procedure possible.
Überraschender Weise wurde gefunden, dass eine Lösung der Aufgabe, Pinzetten aus Leichtmetall mit sehr vorteilhaften Eigenschaften und ein fertigungstechnisch günstiges Verfahren zur Herstellung solcher Pinzetten dadurch erreicht werden kann, dass man die Pinzetten durch Zerschneiden von Leichtmetallprofilen gewinnt, deren Querschnitt im wesentlichen der Pinzettenform entspricht. Eine gewisse nachträgliche Änderung des Profils kann durch eine nachfolgende Bearbeitung, wie Abgraten oder Abrunden bzw. Polieren bedingt sein, verändert aber den Querschnitt nicht in signifikanter Weise. Dank der Eigenschaften von Leichtmetalllegierungen lassen sich solche Profile nach verschiedenen Formungsmethoden, wie Ziehen bzw. Pressen, gewinnen.Surprisingly, it was found that a solution to the Task, tweezers made of light metal with very beneficial Properties and a technically favorable process can be achieved for the production of such tweezers you can cut the tweezers by Light metal profiles wins, their cross section essentially corresponds to the shape of the tweezers. A certain ex post The profile can be changed by subsequent processing, such as deburring or rounding or polishing be, but does not significantly change the cross-section Wise. Thanks to the properties of light metal alloys such profiles can be created using different molding methods, like pulling or pressing.
Die erfindungsgemässe Pinzette ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie aus einem von einem Leichtmetallprofil durch Zerschneiden quer zur Längsrichtung des Profils gebildeten Element besteht und einstückig ausgebildet ist. Dementsprechend bestehen sowohl die Schenkel der Pinzette als auch deren Verbindung miteinander aus einem einzigen Werkstück. Die Verbindung hat vorzugsweise die Form eines Scheitelbereichs, der jeweils in die Schenkel übergeht.The tweezers according to the invention are characterized in that that they're out one of a light metal profile by cutting it across Element formed in the longitudinal direction of the profile exists and formed in one piece is. Accordingly, both the legs of the Tweezers as well as their connection from one single workpiece. The connection preferably has that Shape of an apex area, each in the thigh transforms.
Vorzugsweise ist der Scheitelbereich als Materialverstärkung oder Verdickung ausgebildet. Hierbei wird als "Verdikkung" eine bereichsweise Vergrösserung der normalen Dicke der Schenkel der Pinzette verstanden. Gemäss einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform können die Schenkel ihrerseits Verdickungen zur Verformungsbegrenzung besitzen. Solche Verdickungen haben typisch eine Dicke, die mindestens um 20% grösser ist, als die normale Dicke der Schenkel. Die "normale" Dicke der Schenkel ist mit anderen Worten die Bezugsdicke im überweigenden Teil der Schenkel zwischen der Pinzettenspitze (Arbeitsende) und dem Pinzettenende (Schenkelverbindung).The apex area is preferably a material reinforcement or thickening. Here is called "thickening" an increase in normal thickness in some areas the leg of the tweezers understood. According to another preferred embodiment can in turn the legs Have thickenings to limit deformation. Such Thickenings typically have a thickness that is at least around 20% larger than the normal thickness of the legs. The In other words, the "normal" thickness of the legs is the reference thickness in the overriding part of the legs between the Tweezers tip (working end) and the tweezers end (leg connection).
Die Schenkel einer erfindungsgemässen Pinzette können an ihren Enden, an denen sie miteinander in Eingriff gebracht werden können, in an sich bekannter Weise klauenartig und/oder spitz zulaufend ausgebildet sein. Die Schenkel haben im Bereich zwischen ihren Enden in der Regel einen prismatischen und vorzugsweise annähernd rechteckigen Querschnitt, dessen Höhe der Normaldicke der Schenkel entspricht und dessen Breite mindestens zweimal grösser als die Normaldicke ist.The legs of a pair of tweezers according to the invention can their ends at which they are engaged can be claw-like in a manner known per se and / or be tapered. The thighs have usually one in the area between their ends prismatic and preferably approximately rectangular cross section, whose height corresponds to the normal thickness of the legs and whose width is at least twice greater than is the normal thickness.
