Abstract
A contraction tool includes a main body, and a pressing unit mounted on the main body. The pressing unit includes two press plates each having an upper section formed with a positioning recess and a lower section formed with a tapered face. The contraction tool further comprises a push rod moved relative to the main body and inserted into the positioning recesses of the two press plates of the pressing unit, and an urging member mounted on the push rod to move therewith synchronously and inserted between the tapered faces of the two press plates of the pressing unit. Thus, the contraction tool has an enhanced pressing force and is operated easily and conveniently.
Claims16
A contraction tool for terminating a cable with a connector, comprising a main body, a press rod pivotally mounted on a first end of the main body, and a pressing unit mounted on a second end of the main body, wherein:
- the pressing unit includes two press plates each pivotally mounted on the second end of the main body;
- each of the two press plates of the pressing unit has an upper section formed with a positioning recess for holding said connector and a lower section formed with a tapered face;
- the contraction tool further comprises a push rod that is movable relative to the main body toward the positioning recesses of the two press plates of the pressing unit;
- the contraction tool further comprises an urging member mounted on the push rod to move therewith synchronously;
- and
- the urging member contacts the tapered faces of the two press plates of the pressing unit when the push rod is advanced toward the positioning recesses of the two press plates of the pressing unit to cause the upper sections of the two press plates to pivot toward each other.
