Abstract
Abstract A plierlike tool for crimping the pigtail leads of electronic components has a protuberance in the active face of one plier jaw and a matching groove in the active face of the other plier jaw. A hole is drilled through the pivotal connection between the two jaws, to accommodate a long pigtail lead being crimped.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A device for crimping wires for strain-relief purposes, comprising a pair of rigid elongated members each having a handle portion at one end and a jaw portion at its other end; and a pin rigidly secured to one of said members, said pin passing rotatably through a bore provided in the other of said members, thereby to pivotally connect said members together between their jaw portions and their handle portions to provide a plierlike tool with a pair of opposed coacting jaws formed by the jaw portions of the respective members, one of said jaws having a protuberance formed in its active face and the other of said jaws having a matching groove formed in its active face; said one member having therein a hole extending in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of the active face of the jaw provided by said one member, said hole extending through said pin and entirely through the pivotal connection between said members and having a diameter such as to accommodate therein the wire to be crimped.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
175 words
A device for crimping wires for strain-relief purposes, comprising a pair of rigid elongated members each having a handle portion at one end and a jaw portion at its other end; and a pin rigidly secured to one of said members, said pin passing rotatably through a bore provided in the other of said members, thereby to pivotally connect said members together between their jaw portions and their handle portions to provide a plierlike tool with a pair of opposed coacting jaws formed by the jaw portions of the respective members, one of said jaws having a protuberance formed in its active face and the other of said jaws having a matching groove formed in its active face; said one member having therein a hole extending in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of the active face of the jaw provided by said one member, said hole extending through said pin and entirely through the pivotal connection between said members and having a diameter such as to accommodate therein the wire to be crimped.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
Device as defined in claim 1, wherein said pin is rigidly secured to the member which has said protuberance in its jaw portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
Device as defined in claim 1, wherein said protuberance extends across the entire width of the active face of said one jaw and is of substantially semicylindrical outer configuration, the axis of the cylinder being substantially parallel to the plane of the active face of said one jaw.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
Device as defined in claim 1, wherein said groove extends across the entire width of the active face of said other jaw and is of substantially semicylindrical shape, the axis of the cylinder being substantially parallel to the plane of the active face of said other jaw.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
66 words
Device as defined in claim 1, wherein said pin is rigidly secured to the member which has said protuberance in its jaw portion, and wherein said protuberance extends across the entire width of the active face of said one jaw and is of substantially semicylindrical outer configuration, the axis of the cylinder being substantially parallel to the plane of the active face of said one jaw.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
90 words
Device as defined in claim 1, wherein said protuberance extends across the entire width of the active face of said one jaw and is of substantially semicylindrical outer configuration, the axis of the cylinder being substantially parallel to the plane of the active face of said one jaw, and wherein said groove extends across the entire width of the active face of said other jaw and is of substantially semicylindrical shape, the axis of the cylinder being substantially parallel to the plane of the active face of said other jaw.
