Abstract
The present invention discloses a clamp assembly having a pair of clamp handles and a clipping member or a poking member, and the clamp handles use an extendible clamp wire set to control the clipping member or the poking member, so that the tool can be extended into a small narrow operating space for its application.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a hand tool, more particularly to a clamp having a clamping wire set for extending the distance between the handle and the working end of the tool, so that the working end can be extended into the engine chamber of a car or a small narrow space of other machineries for the application of the tool.
2. Description of the Related Art
Various tools such as clamps, wrenches, and the like are used for repairing machineries, and there are lots of wirings and components in the interior of ordinary machines or car engine chamber. Therefore, there are limitations for using ordinary tools in such a limited working space, not only staining the sleeve or clothes by dirty grease, but also having the risk of hurting the user's hand by the mechanical components. Furthermore, some of the repairing position is beyond the reach by the user's hands or hand tools. Therefore, the parts other than those requiring repair are removed first before repairing, and reinstall those parts after the repair is completed. In some cases, we have to disassemble and then assemble the whole set of machine for replacing or adjusting a small part, not only wasting efforts but also wasting lots of time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a clamp assembly that can be extended into an engine chamber of a car or a small narrow space of other machineries for the application of the tool. The clamp assembly of the present invention can use a clipping member to clip a workpiece, or uses a poling member to poke the objects around the repairing workpiece, which offers a convenient, handy, easy, and convenient way for the repair.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a clamp assembly that allows users to replace or install the clipping member or poking member on the same clamp handle.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a clamp assembly having a replaceable clipping member and poking member, so that any single component of the clipping member or the poking member can be replaced when it is damaged. The structural design of the present invention enables users to replace such component quickly and easily.
To accomplish the foregoing objectives, the present invention comprises a pair of clamp handles, wherein one clamp handle has a sliding track, and said sliding track is pivotally couple to a corner of a clamp wire control plate, and both ends of said clamp wire control plate individually coupled to a clamp wire fixing member and pivotally coupled to another clamp handle; a pair of clamp heads are stacked and pivotally coupled with each other, and their rear ends are couple with said clamp handles. A clamp handle torque spring is disposed on one of the clamp head, and a clamp control plate is disposed on another clamp head, and the clamp control plate and the clamp head having a clamp handle torque spring at their corresponding edges each has a ratcheted edge and a ratcheted section engaged with each other. The rear end of the clamp control plate is a poking plate, and the ratcheted edge and ratcheted serration will be separated by pressing the poking plate, and the clamp wire fixing member is coupled with the rear end of the central linear member of a clamp wire set, and the central linear member passes through a protective tube, and its front end is coupled to a clipping member or a poking member. Controlling the extension or contraction of the central linear member of the clamp wire set produces an axial movement and further controls such clipping member or poking member to clip the workpiece or poke the objects around the workpiece.
To make it easier for our examiner to understand the objective of the invention, its structure, innovative features, and performance, we use a preferred embodiment together with the attached drawings for the detailed description of the invention.

After knowing the structure of the present invention, we will further describe the operation and movement of the present invention as follows:
The user generally operates the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
to attain the purpose of controlling the opening of the clipping member
80
or the poking member
90
; the clipping member is closed to clip a workpiece and opened to release a workpiece; the poking member is opened to poke the objects surrounding a workpiece.
In
FIG. 5B
, the user exerts forces on the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
by gripping them, the ratcheted section
43
of the second clamp head
41
and the ratcheted edge
63
of the clamp control plate
60
produces a alternate ratchet phenomenon and sound due to the sliding in the positive direction, and the clamp wire control plate
30
swings towards the second clamp handle
11
by sing the pivotal member
311
of its long arm
31
as a hinge, and such swing converts into a force on the sliding wedge
34
to drive the corner of the clamp wire control plate
30
to move towards the end of said sliding hole
23
, and said clamp wire fixing member also moves back and further pull the central linear member
71
. The front end of the central linear member
71
pulls the second clipping member
83
of the clipping member
80
, and the first and second clipping members
82
,
83
use said sliding space
822
to produce the corresponding movement and compress the spring
84
to achieve the control of clipping the workpiece. In
FIG. 8B
, if the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
work with the poking member
90
, then the central linear member
71
is pulled while the first poking plate
92
is pulled so that the first and second poking plates
92
,
93
are separated to achieve the purpose of poking the objects surrounding the workpiece.
When the clipping member
80
has clipped the workpiece or the poking member
90
has poked the object to a predetermined distance, the user can gently grip the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
. Although a tension is exerted on the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
, the reaction on the ratchet section
43
and the ratcheted edge
63
of the first and second clamp heads
40
,
41
is in a latch situation in the opposite direction, therefore the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
will be fixed in a predetermined clamping angle without the risk of spring apart.
In
FIGS. 5A and 8A
, if the user wants to release the workpiece from the clipping member
80
or the object around the workpiece from the poking member
90
, the user must press the poking plate
64
of the clamp control plate
60
in the direction towards the first clamp handle
10
so that the ratcheted edge and the ratcheted section
43
are separated, and the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
lose the latching force. The clamp handle torque spring
50
and the spring
84
,
94
of the clipping member
80
or poking member
90
also lose the coiling or compression, both restore their positions. Particularly, the spring
84
,
90
of the clipping member
80
or the poking member
90
restores its position to drive the second clipping member
83
or the first poking plate
92
to restore the position such that the clipping member
80
or the poking member
90
restores its original opening status while pulling the central linear member
71
to move forward. The central linear member
71
also pulls the clamp fixing member
35
to use the sliding wedge
34
at its corner to move to the front of the sliding hole
23
such that the clamp control plate swings outward in the direction towards the first clamp handle
10
, and the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
will automatically open.
The present invention uses a clamp wire set
70
to extend the distance between the handle of the tool to the working end, so that the tool can be extended into a small narrow operating space that the user's hand or regular tools cannot reach. The flexibility of the clamp wire set
70
allows the tool of the present invention to pass through the curve and turning in the space easily. The user can control the grip of the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
to control the clipping member
80
to clip the workpiece or the poking member
90
to poke the objects around the workpiece. The operation is simple and handy. If the user wants to release the workpiece, the user just needs to press the poking plate
64
to open the first and second clamp handles
10
,
11
while restoring the clipping member
80
or poling member to the original opening status. The operation is also simple, handy, easy and convenient.
In addition, the clipping member
80
and poking member
90
of the present invention can work together with a clamp wire set
70
and uses the threaded fixture
721
of the protective sleeve
72
to couple with the threaded hole
4541
of the clamp wire plate
711
, and the threaded fixture
711
of the central linear member
71
to couple with the threaded hole
351
of the clamp wire fixing member
35
to quickly install the clipping member
80
or the poking member
90
on the same clamp handle. The clipping member
80
and the poking member
90
are the replaceable components. When a component fails, it can be replaced. For replacing a component, the C-shape latch ring
821
,
911
and the fixture
831
,
931
are removed to release the coupling of the components, and thus achieving the purpose of replacing components quickly.
While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretations and equivalent arrangements.
