ABSTRACT:
A tool for crimping a connector sleeve onto the ends of cable strands or the like for joining the strands together consists of an anvil arm having a V-shaped notch therein pivotally mounted relative to a base for its notch to be swung into cooperative opposed relation with a V-shaped notch in a die block on the base for crimping a connector sleeve that is placed through the die block notch.
The size of the crimp opening, defined by the two notches in cooperative opposed relation, is determined solely by the size of the notch in the die block. The notch in the anvil arm is the same for all crimp opening sizes. The die block has shoulder surfaces that are engaged by end portions of the walls of the anvil arm notch to bring the two notches into precise operative alignment and to stop relative movement of the notches together when they are in the spaced relation that will produce the size crimp desired.
A nose element on the base keeps the other strands of a multi strand cable out of the way so as not to be damaged by, or interefere with, the crimping of a connector sleeve onto one of the strands.
A number of die blocks, each having a different size notch, are provided and are adapted to be placed alternatively in operative position on the base for crimping connector sleeves of different diameters. The several die blocks are attached to the tool by a loop of flexible material that keeps the several alternative die blocks with the tool and that is also adapted to cooperate with guide slots in the tool to locate any selected one of the die blocks in operative position on the tool base. The loop also provides a handle for carrying the tool, as for hooking it onto a worker's tool belt.
