A pliers-type cutting tool has two tool legs which cross at a joint pin and are pivotable about an axis of rotation in a pivot plane with respect to one another. The tool legs form gripping portions on one side of the joint pin and a pliers mouth on the other side. Cutting of the pliers mouth pass into a position one over the other, at least radially on the outside, for the first time in a closing region. The cutting edges have in the position one over the other only in the closing region a particular free length on this central plane, and that over the free length a greatest opening width is present along an intermediate length on the central plane, and that the greatest opening width makes up a third or more of the total length of the cutting edges.
A pliers-type cutting tool (1) comprising two tool legs (2, 3) that are pivotable relative to one another about a rotational axis (x) along a pivot plane (E), wherein the tool legs (2, 3) form handle sections (5, 6) on one side of the rotational axis (x) and a pliers mouth (9) on the other side, wherein working faces of the pliers mouth (9) are designed in the form of opposite cutting edges (10, 11), which during a movement into a closed position of the cutting tool (1) arrive in a superimposed position in a closing region(S) for the first time in a first closed position radially outside of a remaining opening region viewed from the rotational axis (x), wherein multiple cutting regions (14, 15, 16, 17, 18), which are oppositely formed on the working faces, respectively have their own curvature contour and form the opening region, follow radially inward in such a position, and wherein the cutting edges (10, 11) have with respect to a central plane (M), which stands perpendicular to the pivot plane (E) and extends through the rotational axis (x) and the closing region(S), a free length (l) starting from the closing region(S) and proceeding in the direction of the rotational axis (x) on the central plane (M) in the first closed position, up to an intersecting point (P) of the opposite cutting edges, the free length (l) having an upper half toward the closing region(S) and a lower half toward the rotational axis (x), wherein a maximum opening width (b) between the cutting edges (10, 11) is in the first closed position formed over the free length (l) in a direction transverse to the central plane (M), wherein the maximum opening width (b) amounts to one-third or more of an overall length (g) of the cutting edges (10, 11), wherein the overall length (g) extends along a straight line that begins at the intersecting point (P) with the opposite cutting edge located near the joint and a free end of the cutting edge located distant from the joint, and wherein a greatest opening width (b′, b″, b′″, b″″) respectively results for the cutting regions (14, 15, 16, 17), wherein a second cutting region and a third cutting region (15, 16) are formed starting from a first cutting region (14), which follows the closing region(S) in the direction of the rotational axis (x), wherein the greatest opening width (b′, b) of the second cutting region and the third cutting region is respectively greater than the greatest opening width (b′, b″″) of each of the preceding cutting regions (14, 15), wherein the central plane (M) forms an axis of symmetry with respect to an illustration in which the pivot plane (E) forms a surface and the central plane (M) forms a line, wherein the visible contours of the two cutting edges (10, 11) and therefore the contours defining the cutting opening (24) mirror one another to both sides of this axis of symmetry,
A pliers-type cutting tool (1) comprising two tool legs (2, 3) that are pivotable relative to one another about a rotational axis (x) in a pivot plane (E), wherein the tool legs (2, 3) form handle sections (5, 6) on one side of the rotational axis (x) and a pliers mouth (9) on the other side, wherein working faces of the pliers mouth (9) are designed in the form of opposite cutting edges (10, 11), which during a movement into a closed position of the cutting tool (1) arrive in a superimposed position in a closing region(S) for the first time in a first closed position radially outside of a remaining opening region, wherein the cutting edges (10, 11) have with respect to a central plane (M), which stands perpendicular to the pivot plane (E) and extends through the rotational axis (x) and the closing region(S), a free length (l) starting from the closing region(S) and proceeding in the direction of the rotational axis (x) on the central plane (M) in the first closed position, up to an intersecting point (P) of the opposite cutting edges, the free length (l) having an upper half toward the closing region(S) and a lower half toward the rotational axis (x), wherein both cutting edges (10, 11) have separated concave cutting regions (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) over the free length (l), wherein each cutting edge (10, 11) only has three to seven cutting regions (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) over the free length (l), wherein at least two of the cutting regions (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) of each cutting edge (10, 11) have a greatest depth (t, t′, t″, t′″ t″″) of 0.4 millimeters or more, and wherein, in a perpendicular projection of the pointedly ending webs (19, 20, 21, 22, 23) on the central plane (M), the resulting distances (a′, a″, a′″) between the webs (19, 20, 21, 22, 23) along the central plane (M) correspond to the individual cutting regions (14, 15, 16, 17, 18), wherein the distance (a′, a″, a′″) between two webs (19, 20, 21, 22, 23) of a cutting region (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) corresponds to 0.7-times to 1.3-times the distance (a′, a″, a′″) between two webs (19, 20, 21, 22, 23) of the adjacent cutting region (14, 15, 16, 17, 18),
A pliers-type cutting tool (1) comprising two tool legs (2, 3) that are pivotable relative to one another about a rotational axis (x) along a pivot plane (E), wherein the tool legs (2, 3) form handle sections (5, 6) on one side of the rotational axis (x) and a pliers mouth (9) on the other side, wherein working faces of the pliers mouth (9) are designed in the form of opposite cutting edges (10, 11), which during a movement into a closed position of the cutting tool (1) arrive in a superimposed position in a closing region(S) for the first time in a first closed position radially outside of a remaining opening region viewed from the rotational axis (x), wherein multiple cutting regions (14, 15, 16, 17, 18), which are oppositely formed on the working faces, respectively each have a curvature contour and form the opening region, follow radially inward in the first closed position, wherein the cutting edges (10, 11) have with respect to a central plane (M), which stands perpendicular to the pivot plane (E) and extends through the rotational axis (x) and the closing region(S), a free length (l) starting from the closing region(S) and proceeding in the direction of the rotational axis (x) on the central plane (x) in the first closed position, up to an intersecting point (P) of the opposite cutting edges, the free length (l) having an upper half toward the closing region(S) and a lower half toward the rotational axis (x), and wherein a greatest opening width (b) respectively results for two opposite cutting regions viewed in a direction transverse to the central plane (M), wherein at least a second cutting region and a third cutting region (15, 16) follow a first cutting region (14), which follows the closing region in the direction of the rotational axis (x), wherein the greatest opening width of the second cutting region and the third cutting region (16) is respectively greater than the greatest opening width of each of the preceding cutting regions (14, 15), and wherein two remaining concave cutting regions (16, 17) are during further closing of the cutting tool (1) transferable into a position in which two openings (O) remain, which with respect to the central plane (M) are arranged adjacent to one another and separated from one another,
