Patent attributes
The present invention relates to crimping pliers for crimping connecting elements. The crimping pliers comprise crimping jaws building a nest for the connecting element. The crimping jaws are designed and arranged for being moved in radial direction versus a longitudinal axis of the nest for applying radial crimping forces upon the connecting element. Hand levers are provided for manually applying the crimping forces and causing the movement of said crimping jaws. The hand levers are located in a plane. The plane is aligned with the longitudinal axis of said nest and divided by the longitudinal axis into two half-planes. Both of said hand levers are located in one and the same half-plane. A transfer or transmission unit transfers a translational activation along the longitudinal axis in the force flow between said hand levers and said crimping jaws into a rotational activation around the longitudinal axis.
