Abstract
The invention relates to a manually operated pliers tool, which may especially be crimping pliers. According to the invention, the pliers tool is equipped with an electronics construction unit. The electronics construction unit is realized separately from a mechanical pliers part and arranged in a pliers head part of the mechanical pliers part, which is arranged between hand levers and pliers jaws. The electronics construction unit is attached to this pliers head part. The electronics construction unit extends at least on two opposite sides of the pliers head part, sandwiching the pliers head part, and comprises a connector, where the connector extends through or around the pliers head part between the two opposite sides of the pliers head part.
Claims17
A manual pliers tool comprising:
- a mechanical pliers part and an electronics construction unit that outputs and/or processes a plurality of operating parameters and measurements, the mechanical pliers part comprising:
- a) two pivotable hand levers,
- b) two pliers jaws movable relative to one another,
- c) a drive mechanism comprising a compression lever coupled to the pliers jaws and to the hand levers,
- d) a pliers head part comprising a pliers housing positioned over a portion of the hand levers and the pliers jaws,
- wherein
- e) the drive mechanism couples the pliers jaws with the hand levers pivoting the hand levers towards each other causes the pliers jaws to be moved towards each other over a working stroke, and
- the electronics construction unit comprising a connector that extends through or around the pliers head part between the two opposite sides of the pliers head part, wherein the electronics construction unit:
- a) is realized separately from the mechanical pliers part,
- b) is arranged on the pliers head part,
- c) is fixed to the pliers head part, and
- d) extends at least on two opposite sides of the pliers head part, wherein the electronics construction unit is positioned so that the pliers head part is at least partially enclosed by the electronics construction unit.
