Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamp for cutting plastic tubes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a clamp is described by the EP-A-761396 .
  • plastic tubes when plastic tubes are used in an electrical installation as cable ducts, it is to be able to cut tubes of different diameters.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a clamp for cutting plastic tubes, which combines in it the advantage of a fast and precise cutting with that of a section of tubes of different diameters.
  • the object of the invention is achieved with a clip having the features of claim 1.
  • the clip comprises a first and a second lever on a pivot axis allowing them to be pivoted relative to each other between a open position to receive a tube to be cut and a closed position at the end of the cut.
  • the first lever is provided with notches of different widths each of which is intended to receive a tube of corresponding diameter.
  • the second lever supports a blade.
  • the clamp comprises a wheel pivotally mounted on the first lever.
  • the circumference of this wheel are notches made so that a notch chosen according to the diameter of the tube can be put next to the blade by rotating the wheel in a corresponding position.
  • a single clamp is used to cut tubes of at least two different diameters. It is easily understood that the number of notches that can be made in the wheel, and consequently the number of different diameters of the tubes that can be cut with the same clamp, depends both on the diameters of the tubes and the diameter of the wheel. In this sense, the embodiment shown in the drawings and described below according to which the clamp of the invention is made to cut tubes of three different diameters, is only one embodiment, which should not be considered in no way as limiting.
  • the use of a sharp blade can initiate the cutting of the tube at a point of the circumference of the tube and continue from this point by cutting the tube in two opposite directions.
  • notches having a width slightly smaller than the diameter of the tube has the consequence that the tube is slightly deformed when it is inserted into the notch.
  • the initially circular section of the tube then becomes an oval section whose curved part of the circumference is oriented towards the blade.
  • the tube is not likely to collapse under the pressure of the tip of the blade when it comes to rest on the tube to start cutting.
  • the forceps of the invention which is designed for cutting plastic tubes, and which is shown in FIG. figure 1 in the open position and on the figure 2 in the closed position, comprises a first lever 1 and a second lever 2.
  • the two levers are articulated together on a pivot axis 3 which allows them to be pivoted relative to each other between an open position to receive a tube to be cut and a closed position at the end of a cut.
  • the first and second levers 1, 2 are advantageously constituted by longitudinally folded metal profiles substantially U-shaped. These profiles, one of which is narrower than the other, are engaged one inside the other and articulated on the pivot axis 3.
  • the first lever 1 supports a wheel 4 provided with three notches 41, 42, 43 each having a different width d and intended for receive a tube of diameter D which must be cut.
  • the width d of each of these notches is slightly less than the diameter D of the tube to which each slot is assigned. Because of this design of the invention, the cutting of a tube is essentially in two stages. The first step consists in placing a tube on the inlet of the corresponding notch, followed by the insertion of the tube into the notch by the blade, accompanied by a local deformation of the tube.
  • the second step consists of cutting the tube.
  • the wheel 4 is constituted by two disks 44, 45 parallel to each other which are mounted axially distanced from each other on the same axis of rotation 11.
  • the axis 11 is housed in the first lever 1, more precisely in each of two branches 14, 15 through which ends the first lever 1.
  • the axis of rotation 11 is oriented parallel to the pivot axis 3 of the levers 1, 2.
  • the two discs 44, 45 are each provided with three spikes 46 obtained by stamping.
  • the pins 46 extend towards the corresponding branch of the lever 1, namely the pins 46 of the disk 44 are oriented towards the branch 14 of the lever 1 and the pins 46 of the disk 45 are oriented towards the branch 13 of the lever 1.
  • each of the two branches 13, 14 of the lever 1 terminates beyond the axis of rotation 11 of the two disks 44, 45 by a branch end 16, 17.
  • the lever 1 terminates in two L-shaped branches 13, 14, the transverse portion of which relative to the general extent of the lever 1 constitutes the end of the branch 16, 17.
  • Each of these branch ends 16, 17 is provided with a hole 12, 13 with which cooperates one of the three pins 46 of each of the disks 44, 45 to mark a stop position of the wheel 4 for the chosen notch. So, in the position represented on the figure 1 , the pin 46 of the disk 44, engaged in the hole 12 of the end of leg 16 of the lever 1, is the one that ensures the exact position of the notch 42 of the wheel 4.
  • the gripper To lock the clamp in the closed position, it is provided with a locking means 21 which is here in the form of a pivoting latch 22 mounted on the lever 2 and a corresponding notch 23 formed in the lever 1.
  • the gripper according to the invention finally comprises, as part of the protection of the hands and to be able to grip the gripper in an easier way, plastic sleeves 31, 32 provided with flat protrusions 33, 34 intended primarily to protect the hand in case small incidents while cutting a tube.
