Die Verbindungsgelenke 5, 7, 12 und 13 haben zueinander parallel verlaufende Gelenkachsen.The connecting joints 5, 7, 12 and 13 have mutually parallel hinge axes.

Bei geöffneter Greifzange 1, also in der Freigabestellung nach Fig. 3, ist die Steuerstange 11 in einem frei zugänglichen Zangen-Erfassungsbereich 16 der Greifzange 1 angeordnet.When the grasping forceps 1 is open, ie in the release position Fig. 3 , the control rod 11 is arranged in a freely accessible pliers detection area 16 of the gripping tongs 1.

Durch Kontakt der Steuerstange 11 mit einem zu ergreifenden Gut, also beispielsweise mit dem Greifteil 9a, ist die Steuerstange 11 umstellbar zwischen einer in der Fig. 3 dargestellten Steuerstangen-Freigabestellung mit geöffneter Greifzange 1 und einer Steuerstangen-Greifstellung nach Fig. 1 mit geschlossener Greifzange 1.By contact of the control rod 11 with a to be taken good, so for example with the gripping part 9 a, the control rod 11 is convertible between a in the Fig. 3 shown control rod release position with open gripping tongs 1 and a control rod gripping position after Fig. 1 with closed grasping forceps 1.

Die Steuerstange 11 ist am Zangenabschnitt des Greifkörpers 3 angelenkt.The control rod 11 is articulated on the forceps portion of the gripping body 3.

Der Greifkörper 3 hat lediglich einen Zangenabschnitt, aber keinen Hebelabschnitt. Bei einer nicht dargestellten Ausführung können auch beide Greifkörper jeweils einen Zangen- und jeweils einen Hebelabschnitt aufweisen.The gripping body 3 has only one tong section, but no lever section. In one embodiment, not shown, both gripping bodies may each have a pliers and a respective lever portion.

Die beiden Greifkörper 3, 4 und die Steuerstange 11 haben zwei in Richtung der Gelenkachsen der Verbindungsgelenke 5, 7, 12 und 13 voneinander beabstandete und fest miteinander verbundene Komponentenabschnitte 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b und 11a, 11b. Der Hebelabschnitt 10 des zweiten Greifkörpers 4 weist ebenfalls zwei in Richtung der Gelenkachsen der Verbindungsgelenke 5, 7, 12 und 13 voneinander beabstandete und fest miteinander verbundene Hebel-Unterabschnitte 10a, 10b auf. Diese Komponentenabschnitte Xa, Xb verbessern eine Stabilität einer Bewegungsführung der Greifzange 1 zwischen der Freigabestellung nach Fig. 3, der Greifstellung nach Fig. 1 sowie einer vollständigen Schließstellung nach Fig. 7.The two gripping bodies 3, 4 and the control rod 11 have two component sections 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b and 11a, 11b which are spaced apart from one another and are fixedly connected to one another in the direction of the joint axes of the connecting joints 5, 7, 12 and 13. The lever portion 10 of the second gripping body 4 also has two in the direction of the joint axes of the connecting joints 5, 7, 12 and 13 spaced apart and firmly interconnected lever subsections 10a, 10b. These component sections Xa, Xb improve a stability of a movement guidance of the gripping tongs 1 between the release position Fig. 3 , the gripping position after Fig. 1 and a full closed position Fig. 7 ,

In den Fig. 3, 5 und 7 sind zur Verbesserung einer Veranschaulichung kinematischer Verhältnisse Verbindungslinien zwischen den Gelenkachsen der Verbindungsgelenke 5, 7, 12 und 13 hervorgehoben dargestellt.In the Fig. 3 . 5 and 7 For the purpose of improving an illustration of kinematic relationships, connecting lines between the articulated axes of the connecting joints 5, 7, 12 and 13 are shown highlighted.

An einem freien Ende der Steuerstange 11 ist ein Betätigungselement 17 angeordnet. Das Steuerstangen-Verbindungsgelenk 13 ist zwischen dem freien Ende 17 und dem Steuerstangen-Verbindungsgelenk 12 angeordnet.At an open end of the control rod 11, an actuating element 17 is arranged. The control rod connection joint 13 is disposed between the free end 17 and the control rod connection joint 12.

Die Greifzange 1 hat eine Greifkörper-Vorspanneinrichtung 18. Letztere hat eine Druckfedereinheit 19 mit einem Federkolben 20 und einer Druckfeder 21. Die Druckfedereinheit 19 stützt sich zumindest indirekt an beiden Greifkörpern 3, 4 ab und ist an diese angelegt. Dabei ist die Steuerstange 11 ein Teil einer Abstütz-Übertragungsmechanik zwischen der Druckfedereinheit 19 und dem ersten Greifkörper 3.The gripping pliers 1 has a gripper-biasing device 18. The latter has a compression spring unit 19 with a spring piston 20 and a compression spring 21. The compression spring unit 19 is supported at least indirectly on both gripping members 3, 4 and is applied to this. Here is the control rod 11 a part of a support transmission mechanism between the compression spring unit 19 and the first gripping body 3.

Am ersten Greifkörper 3 stützt sich die Druckfedereinheit 19 über das zweite Steuerstangen-Verbindungsgelenk 13, die Steuerstange 11 und das erste Steuerstangen-Verbindungsgelenk 12 ab.At the first gripper body 3, the compression spring unit 19 is supported via the second control rod connection joint 13, the control rod 11 and the first control rod connection joint 12.

Über das gleiche Ende der Druckfedereinheit 19 stützt sich diese, ebenfalls über das zweite Steuerstangen-Verbindungsgelenk 13, am Hebelabschnitt 10 des zweiten Greifkörpers 4 ab.Via the same end of the compression spring unit 19, this is supported, likewise via the second control rod connection joint 13, on the lever section 10 of the second gripping body 4.

Am Grundkörper 2 stützt sich die Druckfedereinheit 19 an einem Widerlagerabschnitt 22 ab. Die Druckfeder 21 ist also vorgespannt zwischen dem zweiten Steuerstangen-Verbindungsgelenk 13 und dem Widerlagerabschnitt 22.On the main body 2, the compression spring unit 19 is supported on an abutment portion 22. The compression spring 21 is thus biased between the second control rod connecting joint 13 and the abutment portion 22nd

Die Druckfedereinheit 19 stützt sich also zwischen dem Grundkörper 2 einerseits und zumindest mittelbar den beiden Greifkörpern 3, 4 andererseits, nämlich direkt am zweiten Greifkörper 4 und indirekt über die Steuerstange 11 am ersten Greifkörper 3, ab.The compression spring unit 19 is thus supported between the base body 2 on the one hand and at least indirectly the two gripping bodies 3, 4 on the other hand, namely directly on the second gripping body 4 and indirectly via the control rod 11 on the first gripping body 3 from.

Eine Kraft-Wirklinie 23 einer Vorspannung der Druckfedereinheit 19 in der Freigabestellung nach Fig. 3 kreuzt eine Verbindungslinie 24 zwischen den beiden Greifkörper-Verbindungsgelenken 5, 7. In der Freigabestellung nach Fig. 3 hält die Vorspannkraft der Greifkörper-Vorspanneinrichtung 18 die Greifzange 1 somit offen.A force-effective line 23 a bias of the compression spring unit 19 in the release position to Fig. 3 Crosses a connecting line 24 between the two gripper body connecting joints 5, 7. In the release position to Fig. 3 Thus, the biasing force of the gripper-biasing device 18 keeps the grasping forceps 1 open.

Die Steuerstange 11 ist so angeordnet, dass bei einer Umstellung der Steuerstange 11 von der Steuerstangen-Freigabestellung nach Fig. 3 in die Steuerstangen-Greifstellung, beispielsweise nach Fig. 5, der durch das zweite Steuerstangen-Verbindungsgelenk 13 gebildete Abstützpunkt der Druckfedereinheit 19 am Hebelabschnitt 10 des Greifkörpers 4 die Verbindungslinie 24 zwischen den beiden Greifkörper-Verbindungsgelenken 5, 7 durchtritt. Nach diesem Durchtreten des Abstützpunktes 13 durch die Verbindungslinie 24 wirkt die Druckfedereinheit 19, wie die Abfolge der Fig. 5 und 7 verdeutlicht, in Schließrichtung der Greifzange 1. Der Abstützpunkt fällt mit der Gelenkachse 15 des zweiten Steuerstangen-Verbindungsgelenks 13 am Hebelabschnitt 10 des zweiten Greifkörpers 4 zusammen.The control rod 11 is arranged so that upon a changeover of the control rod 11 from the control rod release position to Fig. 3 in the Control rod gripping position, for example after Fig. 5 in that the support point of the compression spring unit 19 formed by the second control rod connection joint 13 on the lever portion 10 of the gripping body 4 passes through the connection line 24 between the two gripper body connection joints 5, 7. After this passage of the support point 13 through the connecting line 24, the compression spring unit 19 acts as the sequence of Fig. 5 and 7 clarifies, in the closing direction of the gripping tongs 1. The support point coincides with the hinge axis 15 of the second control rod connection joint 13 on the lever portion 10 of the second gripping body 4 together.

Am Grundkörper 2 ist eine hülsenförmige Schutzabdeckung 25 für den Federkolben 20 der Druckfedereinheit 19 angeformt. Diese Schutzabdeckung 25 dient gleichzeitig als Gegen-Halteelement für das Betätigungselement 17 zum Öffnen der Greifzange 1 zum Beispiel aus der vollständigen Schließstellung nach Fig. 7.On the main body 2, a sleeve-shaped protective cover 25 for the spring piston 20 of the compression spring unit 19 is formed. This protective cover 25 also serves as a counter-holding element for the actuating element 17 for opening the gripper tongs 1, for example, from the fully closed position Fig. 7 ,
