Abstract
An electric spinning pliers apparatus includes a housing, a plier head coupled to a rotatable shaft, and a head-operating handle. The housing may have a wire sleeve stripper, an iris door, one or more controls, and an indicator light. The electric spinning pliers apparatus utilizes the wire sleeve stripper to cut an outer sleeve of a group of wires, exposing individual wires. Each individual wire may be stripped by the iris door, while the plier head may grasp and rotate, via a motor, each of the individual wires into a single unit. The plier head may then twist a wire nut on the twisted wires.
Claims19
Electric spinning pliers, comprising:
- a housing;
- a plier head coupled to a rotatable shaft, the rotatable shaft extending longitudinally through the housing;
- an electric motor within the housing configured to rotate the rotatable shaft;
- a head-operating handle configured to open the plier head, the head-operating handle remaining stationary when the plier head rotates on the rotatable shaft;
- and
- at least one bearing coupled to the rotatable shaft, the at least one bearing coupling the head-operating handle to the plier head.
Electric spinning pliers, comprising:
- a housing, comprising:
- a wire sleeve stripper for stripping an outer sleeve on a group of wires,
- an iris door for stripping individual wires from the group of wires,
- a forward/reverse button, and
- a trigger button;
- a rotatable shaft extending longitudinally through the housing;
- a motor within the housing configured to rotate the rotatable shaft, the motor actuatable via the trigger button;
- a plier head coupled to the rotatable shaft, the plier head comprising:
- a first arm pivotally coupled to a second arm,
- a wire receiving aperture at a front portion of the plier head, and
- a bit aperture;
- a head-operating handle that remains stationary while the plier head rotates.
A method of using electric spinning pliers comprising:
- inserting a group of individual wires with an outer sleeve into a wire sleeve stripper;
- cutting the outer sleeve with the wire sleeve stripper;
- inserting each wire of the group of wires into an iris door to remove each wire sleeve;
- combining and placing the group of individual wires into a wire receiving aperture on a plier head;
- rotating the plier head by pressing a trigger button and twisting the group of individual wires together.
