Abstract
A crimping tool resembling tongs is disclosed, with an anvil in which, by means of the swing of a handle, a component can be supplied, via a feed device, to the anvil and in the latter is capable of being crimped with the cable end, where the swing motion of the handle is transmitted via a transmission mechanism to close the anvil, which is designed so that the anvil, at the end of the swing range of the handle, is to open for removal of the crimp connection. Feed of the component to the anvil is effected by means of a transport linkage and a transport fork, which by way of a control element are in active communication with the transmission mechanism, so that the rate of motion of the transport fork is capable of being influenced in the entire range of swing of the movable handle.
Claims54
A crimping tool for compressing an electrical component onto a conductor to form a crimp connection comprising:
- anvil means formed by two compression jaws which are relatively movable toward one another for applying compression to the electrical component disposed between the jaws and relatively movable away from one another for removal of the crimp connection from between the jaws;
- a stationary working arm being connected to one of the jaws, the stationary working arm having an extending counter-holder;
- a movable working arm being connected to the other of the two jaws, the movable working arm having an extending handle which can be swivelled toward the counter-holder;
- transmission means connected to the handle for swivelling the handle and causing the jaws to move toward one another for applying compression force to the electrical component and at the end of the same swivel to cause the jaws to move away from one another for removal of the crimp connection;
- and
- feed means, responsive to the swivelling of the handle, for delivery of the electrical component to the anvil.
