Abstract
The object of the invention is a pair of crimping pliers that comprises two arms (10) and (12), a fixed jaw and a movable jaw (34), which is articulated in regard to the two arms, and a hinge link interposed between the two arms. This pair of pliers displays an angular point for forming an arch perpendicular to which is positioned the axis A3. The present pair of pliers also has angular values and ratios of given lengths.
Claims19
A pair of crimping pliers comprising an upper arm (10) bearing a fixed jaw with at least one indentation (M1) at its end, a lower arm (12), a hinge link (22) that is interposed between said upper arm and said lower arm and that is articulated around the axes A1 and A2, a movable jaw (34) that has an indentation (M2) cooperable with said one indentation (M1) for crimping a workpiece and is articulated, in relation to the upper arm, around an axis A3 and, in relation to the lower arm, around an axis A4, characterized in that the distance between the axes A1 and A2 is roughly equal to the distance between the axes A3 and A4 and wherein said indentation (M2) on said movable jaw is rotatable relative to said axis A3 and maintained at a fixed distance from said axis A3.
A pair of terminal crimping pliers comprising:
- an upper arm comprising a fixed jaw with at least one indentation at its end;
- a lower arm;
- a hinge link that is interposed between the upper arm and the lower arm, wherein the hinge is articulated around a first axis on the upper arm and a second axis on the lower arm;
- a movable jaw that has an indentation cooperable with said one indentation for crimping a terminal, wherein the movable jaw is articulated around a third axis on the upper arm and around a fourth axis on the lower arm wherein the indentation of the movable jaw is rotatable relative to the third axis and maintained at a fixed distance from said third axis, and
- wherein a first distance between the first and second axes is substantially equal to a second distance between the third and fourth axes.
