Easily released self adjusting clamping pliers - has handgrip coupled to swivelable clamping jaw and locking mechanism

摘要

The self-adjusting clamping pliers facilitate release of the locking unit in every locking position with the use of only limited force. The spanner handgrip has an arm (24) coupled to the swivable clamping jaw (21) at one end and to a lever at the other end. This lever has a section which projects forward of its attachment axis (27) and is located in the U-shaped cross-section of the arm. A lower surface (47) is placeable against a raised section (25) in the arm's cross-web. A sloping upper surface (52) on the lever presses against the end of a linkage lever (28) of the self-adjusting locking mechanism.
