Description
SNAP RING PLIERS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to snap ring pliers, and more particularly to snap ring pliers provided with a lock member which is operated in a labor-saving flexible way.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
A snap ring is shaped as a C and used to retain elements (e.g., bearings or shafts) within a bore. The snap ring has certain elasticity itself to be expanded or contracted. In order to install the snap ring on a desired article, special pliers are required to contract or expand the snap ring so as to position the span ring on a workpiece. For conventional snap ring pliers, the user grips two handles of the pliers to operate the snap ring. The gripping members of the jaws of the pliers are opened or closed to expand or contract the snap ring. The operation is controlled by the user's feeling.
That is to say, when the snap ring is contracted or expanded to a predetermined deformation, the user has to control the exerting force exactly. When the operation is inappropriate, the snap ring may fall before positioned. The stored elastic energy of the deformed snap ring may cause the snap ring to fly, hit and hurt the individual who holds the snap ring pliers.
The applicant invented snap ring pliers, disclosed in Taiwan Utility Model Reg. No. M409924 (U.S. Patent No. 8347471), overcome the shortcomings of the conventional snap ring appliers. The snap ring pliers are operated conveniently and safe to use. For the hook portion of the elastic plate to engage with the teeth stably and firm, a thick elastic plate is required.
However, the operation for the lock member to hold the elastic plate upward is laborious. If a thin elastic plate is used, the hook portion cannot be compressed or limited to cause the hook portion to bounce unexpectedly or disengagement. Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a snap ring pliers comprising a pair of first and second levers which are pivotally secured together at a fulcrum. The first lever comprises a first jaw and a first handle. The second lever comprises a second jaw and a second handle. A first gripping member is projected out of an open end of the first jaw. A second gripping member is projected out of an open end of the
I
second jaw. A torsion spring is provided between the first and second handles adjacent to the fulcrum. The first and second handles are operated to open or close the first and second gripping members by means of the torsion spring.
A curved ratchet rail has one end fixedly secured to an open end of the second handle and the other end disposed proximate to an open end of the first handle. A sliding member fixedly secured to an open end of the first handle and adapted to ride on the ratchet rail. The sliding member comprises an internal channel therethrough with the other end of the ratchet rail disposed therein in an inoperative position of the pliers. The ratchet rail can move through the channel in an operative position. The sliding member has an opening at a front end thereof and a projection at a rear thereof. The projection is pivotally connected with a movable lock member, and an elastic plate is fixed on the projection. The lock member has an upper protrusion to lift the elastic plate obliquely. One end of the elastic plate is fixed on the projection, and the other end of the elastic plate is bent inward to form a hook portion extending through the opening to the channel. One side of the lock member is provided with a limit member.
The limit member has a flat board extending on the surface of the lock member. The inner surface of the flat board is formed with a lower protruding stop which is away from the elastic plate. The elastic plate has a lower protrusion corresponding to the upper protrusion of the lock member. The upper protrusion holds against the lower protrusion in the inoperative position. When the upper protrusion of the lock member holds against the lower protrusion of the elastic plate to lift the elastic plate, the hook portion is moved upward and the ratchet rail is not contact with teeth.
The gripping members of the jaws of the first and second lever can be operated freely by the handles to lock a snap ring between a maximum angle and a minimum angle. After the gripping members grip the snap ring, the lock member is turned for the upper protrusion to disengage from the lower protrusion of the elastic plate. The hook portion descends to enter the channel and get contact with the teeth of the ratchet rail. The stop of the limit member is moved to the upper surface of the elastic plate to block the hook portion from moving upward so that the distal end of the hook portion mates with the teeth stably. Next, the user may continuously exert force to grip the handles of the first and second levers so as to flexibly deform (i.e., expand) the snap ring. During the angle between the handles is gradually reduced, the ratchet rail is moved inward toward the channel of the sliding member. The hook portion of the elastic plate is compressed and deformed by the slope of a tooth of the ratchet rail to reduce its bent angle and then restore to be engaged with the stop surface of the next tooth, such that the ratchet rail is moved step-by-step in the channel. The snap ring is deformed by the gripping members. The user may stop exerting force on the handles when the snap ring is firmly held by the gripping members to lock or unlock the snap ring on a workpiece. After finishing the working, the lock member is turned again for the stop of the limit member to disengage from the upper surface of the elastic plate to release the hook portion. The upper protrusion holds against the lower protrusion of the elastic plate to lift the elastic plate obliquely, and the hook portion is moved upward to disengage from the teeth of the ratchet rail.
The ratchet rail is released to slide backward in the channel. The first and second levers are biased by the torsion spring to return. The snap ring is restored to its original shape before deformation, so that the gripping members can disengage from the snap ring smoothly. According to the entire structure of the present invention, the lock member is simply turned to control the gripping members to hold or release deformation of the snap ring. The lock member is turned for the stop of the limit member to hold against the upper surface of the elastic plate to block the hook portion from moving upward, so that the elastic plate can be made with a thinner plate. The hook portion is flexibly held by the teeth of the ratchet rail. The lower protrusion of the elastic plate is held by the upper protrusion of the lock member with less resistance. This enhances the lock member to be turned in a labor-saving or flexible way.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a snap ring pliers, wherein one end of the elastic plate is shaped as C to form a fixing portion.
The fixing portion is fixed on the projection. Through the C-shaped end, the elastic plate is more flexible for the upper protrusion of the lock member to lift or to disengage from the lower protrusion of the elastic plate smoothly. The C-shaped end of the elastic plate has a [-shaped notch for a portion of the fixing portion to be exposed, so that the fixing portion is fixed on the projection with a fastener inserting through the notch.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.

11. A second gripping member 23 is projected out of an open end of the second jaw 21. A torsion spring 30 is provided between the first and second handles 12, 22 adjacent to the fulcrum. The first and second handles 12, 22 are operated to open or close the first and second gripping members 13, 23 by means of the torsion spring 30.
A curved ratchet rail 24 has one end fixedly secured to an open end of the second handle 22 and the other end disposed proximate to an open end of the first handle 12. A sliding member 14 is fixedly secured to an open end of the first handle 12 and adapted to ride on the ratchet rail 24 as detailed below. The sliding member 14 comprises an internal channel 15 therethrough with the other end of the ratchet rail 24 disposed therein in an inoperative position of the pliers. The ratchet rail 24 can move through the channel 15 in an operative position. The sliding member 14 has an opening 16 at a front end thereof and a projection 17 at a rear thereof. The projection 17 is pivotally connected with a movable lock member 40, and an elastic plate 50 is fixed on the projection 17. The lock member 40 has an upper protrusion 41 to lift the elastic plate 50 obliquely. One end of the elastic plate 50 is fixed on the projection 17, and the other end of the elastic plate 50 is bent inward to form a hook portion 51 extending through the opening 16 to the channel 15. One side of the lock member 40 is provided with a limit member 42. The limit member 42 has a flat board 420 extending on the surface of the lock member 40. The inner surface of the flat board 420 is formed with a lower protruding stop 421 which is away from the elastic plate 50. The elastic plate 50 has a lower protrusion 52 corresponding to the upper protrusion 41 of the lock member 40. The upper protrusion 41 holds against the lower protrusion 52 in the inoperative position. When upper protrusion 41 of the lock member 40 holds against the lower protrusion 52 of the elastic plate 50 to lift the elastic plate 50, the hook portion 51 is moved upward and the ratchet rail 24 is not contact with the teeth 240. The gripping members 13, 23 of the jaws 11,21 of the first and second lever 10, 20 can be operated freely by the handles 12, 22 to lock a snap ring between a maximum angle and a minimum angle.
As shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, after the gripping members 13, 23 gripping the snap ring 60, the lock member 40 is turned for the upper protrusion 41 to disengage from the lower protrusion 52 of the elastic plate 50. The hook portion 51 descends to enter the channel 15 and get contact with the teeth 240 of the ratchet rail 24. The stop 421 of the limit member 42 is moved to the upper surface of the elastic plate 50 to block the hook portion 51 from moving upward so that the distal end of the hook portion 51 mates with the teeth 240 stably. Next, the user may continuously exert force to grip the handles 12,22 of the first and second levers 10, 2Oso as to flexibly deform (i.e., expand) the snap ring 60.
During the angle between the handles 12, 22 is gradually reduced, as shown in FIG. 9, the ratchet rail 24 is moved inward toward the channel 15 of the sliding member 14. The hook portion 51 of the elastic plate 50 is compressed and deformed by the slope 241 of a tooth 240 of the ratchet rail 24 to reduce its bent angle and then restore to be engaged with the stop surface 242 of the next tooth 240, such that the ratchet rail 24 is moved step-by-step in the channel 15. As shown in FIG. 10, the snap ring is deformed by the gripping members 13, 23. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the user may stop exerting force on the handles 12, 22 when the snap ring 60 is firmly held by the gripping members 13, 23 to lock or unlock the snap ring 60 on a workpiece.
After finishing the working, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the lock member 40 is turned again for the stop 421 of the limit member 42 to disengage from the upper surface of the elastic plate 50 to release the hook portion 51. The upper protrusion 41 holds against the lower protrusion 52 of the elastic plate SO to lift the elastic plate SO obliquely, and the hook portion 51 is moved upward to disengage from the teeth 240 of
II
the ratchet rail 24. The ratchet rail 24 is released to slide backward in the channel 15. The first and second levers 10, 20 are biased by the torsion spring 30 to return.
As shown in FIG. 14, the snap ring 60 is restored to its original shape before deformation, so that the gripping members 13, 23 can disengage from the snap ring 60 smoothly. According to the entire structure of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 10, 11, 12, and 13, the lock member is simply turned to control the gripping members 13, 23 to hold or release deformation of the snap ring 60. As shown in FIGS. 5, 7 and 8, the lock member 40 is turned for the stop 421 of the limit member 42 to hold against the upper surface of the elastic plate 50 to block the hook portion 51 from moving upward, so that the elastic plate 50 can be made with a thinner plate. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the hook portion 51 is flexibly held by the teeth 240 of the ratchet rail 24. As shown in FIGS. 10, 11, 12, and 13, the lower protrusion 52 of the elastic plate 50 is held by the upper protrusion 41 of the lock member 40 with less resistance. This enhances the lock member 40 to be turned in a labor-saving or flexible way.
