摘要 One of the jaws of a pair of pliers is provided with a pivoted die head on which a piece of wire can be bent to various predetermined configurations by a die pin mounted on the other jaw and forceably urged against the interposed wire by a single closing movement of the plier handles. With a partial squeeze of the handles the wire can be bent to a V- or a U-shape, and with a full squeeze, a closed and centered terminal loop can be formed.
权利要求
1. A wire forming hand tool comprising: a. a pair of pliers with pivoted handles carrying two jaws for relative movement in a single plane toward and away from each other in response to hand action; b. A die head mounted on one of said jaws, said die head including substantially crescent-shaped plate means divided into two portions arranged in mirror symmetry on each side of said single plane, each of said plate portions being pivotally mounted on said one of said jaws, on respectively spaced axes, for pivotal movement in a plane perpendicular to said single plane, said crescent-shaped plate means defining a central opening having boundary walls forming an anvil divided on said single plane and a generally V-shaped channel extending from said central opening toward the other of said jaws, said channel being defined by an opposed pair of rectilinear side walls having elongated rectilinear guide grooves formed therein to receive and align a wire located in said grooves; and, c. a die pin of substantially circular cross section mounted on said other of said jaws for movement through said channel in said single plane toward said central opening, said channel side walls and said guide grooves converging inwardly at an acute angle, said pin being movable to a position entirely within said central opening whereby said die heads may be pivoted in opposite directions to substantially completely close said channel with said die pin in said opening.
2. A hand tool as defined in claim 1 wherein said die pin is of tapered configuration to thereby facilitate removal of a wire loop formed therearound.
