Abstract

Pressing jaws are opposingly arranged in pressing pliers. Each pressing jaw has ribs with a longitudinal extension which is transverse to an entry direction of the ribs into entry openings of the other pressing jaw. A pressing mouth has a pressing opening with an opening contour formed by free marginal edges of the ribs. The ribs form an intersection of the opening contour that moves in the direction of the longitudinal extension during a pressing operation. A supplemental pressing part forms part of the opening contour and is arranged so as to cover several ribs and overlap the intersection. A method of use is also provided.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Pressing pliers comprising:
first and second pressing jaws, the first and second pressing jaws being configured to move relative to each other in a traversing direction, each pressing jaw having ribs thereon, each rib being defined by a longitudinal extension transverse to the traversing direction, wherein entry openings are formed between adjacent ribs, wherein the ribs of the first pressing jaw are configured to move into the entry openings of the second pressing jaw during a pressing operation, and the ribs of the second pressing jaw are configured to move into the entry openings of the first pressing jaw during the pressing operation, wherein the first and second pressing jaws form a pressing mouth with an opening contour formed by free marginal edges of the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws, and the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws form an intersection that moves in a direction of the longitudinal extension during the pressing operation; and
a supplemental pressing part between the ribs of the first pressing jaw and the ribs of the second pressing jaw, the supplemental pressing part forming a part of the opening contour, the supplemental pressing part having an extension transverse relative to the longitudinal extension of the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws, the supplemental pressing part overlapping at least two of the ribs of the first pressing jaw and the second pressing jaw and the intersection formed by the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws is outside of the opening contour.

2. The pressing pliers according to claim 1 , wherein the supplemental pressing part is movably arranged relative to the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws.

3. The pressing pliers according to claim 1 , wherein the supplemental pressing part has two surfaces which are angled relative to each other and engage with the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws.

4. The pressing pliers according to claim 3 , wherein the supplemental pressing part extends in cross-section, at least in its regions abutting the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws, in relation to the surfaces corresponding to legs of a triangle.

5. The pressing pliers according to claim 1 , wherein the supplemental pressing part is positively held on one or both pressing jaws.

6. The pressing pliers according to claim 1 , wherein the supplemental pressing part has at least one mounting arm.

7. The pressing pliers according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one mounting arm extends from the supplemental pressing part.

8. The pressing pliers according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one mounting arm extends outside the opening contour.

9. The pressing pliers according to claim 6 , wherein the supplemental pressing part has a plurality of mounting arms.

10. The pressing pliers according to claim 6 , wherein one or both pressing jaws have at least one mounting surface along which the at least one mounting arm can slide in during the pressing operation.

11. The pressing pliers according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one mounting arm has a mounting projection which preferably extends approximately at right angles to the at least one mounting arm.

12. The pressing pliers according to claim 11 , wherein the mounting projection cooperates with the mounting surface.

13. The pressing pliers according to claim 1 , wherein the supplemental pressing part is provided on its edge forming part of the opening contour with a structure serving to convey information.

14. An arrangement comprising:
a first pressing jaw and a second pressing jaw, the first and second pressing jaws being configured to move relative to each other in a traversing direction, each pressing jaw having ribs thereon, each rib being defined by a longitudinal extension transverse to the traversing direction, wherein entry openings are formed between adjacent ribs, wherein the ribs of the first pressing jaw are configured to move into the entry openings of the second pressing jaw during a pressing operation, and the ribs of the second pressing jaw are configured to move into the entry openings of the first pressing jaw during the pressing operation, wherein the first and second pressing jaws form a pressing mouth with an opening contour formed by free marginal edges of the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws, and wherein the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws form an intersection that moves in a direction of the longitudinal extension during the pressing operation, and
a supplemental pressing part which forms a part of the opening contour in addition to the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws, the supplemental pressing part being arranged to extend transversely to the free marginal edges of the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws in overlapping relationship with a plurality of the ribs of the first pressing jaw and/or the second pressing jaw, and in that the intersection formed by the ribs of the first and second pressing jaws is outside the opening contour.
