BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an auxiliary soldering tool, and more particularly to an auxiliary soldering tool that facilitates the soldering work of two wires, so that the worker can solder the two wires easily and conveniently.

2. Description of the Related Art

A conventional soldering tool can be used perform a soldering work to solder two juxtaposed wires so as to connect the two wires together. However, the two wires are not positioned efficiently, so that they are easily shifted by contact of the iron or soldering gun during the soldering process. Thus, one person has to hold the two wires by his two hands, and the other person has to hold the iron or soldering gun to solder the two wires, thereby causing inconvenience to the workers. In addition, when the person holds the two wires, his two hands are closer to the iron or soldering gun at a high temperature, thereby causing danger to the worker.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantage of the conventional soldering tool.

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary soldering tool that facilitates the soldering work of two wires, so that the worker can solder and connect the two wires easily and conveniently.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary soldering tool, wherein the soldering work is accomplished by a single worker, thereby facilitating the worker performing the soldering work.

A further objective of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary soldering tool, wherein the worker's hand is spaced away from the iron of the soldering device, thereby preventing the worker from being injured by the iron at a high temperature, so as to provide a safety effect.

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an auxiliary soldering tool, comprising:

a first jaw plate, a second jaw plate, and two elastic press plates, wherein:

the first jaw plate has a first end integrally formed with a first holding portion and a second end integrally formed with a first holding portion;

the second jaw plate is pivotally mounted on the first jaw plate and has a first end integrally formed with a second holding portion and a second end integrally formed with a second holding portion; and

each of the two press plates is respectively rested on the first holding portion of the first jaw plate and the second holding portion of the second jaw plate to move therewith.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to the drawings and initially toFIGS. 1–3, an auxiliary soldering tool in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a first jaw plate10, a second jaw plate20, two handles30, and two elastic press plates50.

The first jaw plate10has a first end integrally formed with a first holding portion12, a mediate section integrally formed with a first disk13and a second end integrally formed with a first holding portion14. The first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10has a distal end formed with a substantially V-shaped first support portion16. The first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10is formed with an insertion hole122located adjacent to the first disk13.

The second jaw plate20is pivotally mounted on the first jaw plate10and has a first end integrally formed with a second holding portion22, a mediate section integrally formed with a second disk13pivotally mounted on the first disk13of the first jaw plate10and a second end integrally formed with a second holding portion24. The second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20has a distal end formed with a substantially V-shaped second support portion26. The second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20is formed with an insertion hole222located adjacent to the second disk23.

The auxiliary soldering tool further comprises a pivot shaft40extended through the second disk23of the second jaw plate20and the first disk13of the first jaw plate10, so that the second jaw plate20is pivotally mounted on the first jaw plate10.

Each of the two handle30is mounted on the first holding portion14of the first jaw plate10and the second holding portion24of the second jaw plate20respectively.

Each of the two press plates50is respectively secured on the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10and the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20to move therewith. Preferably, each of the two press plates50is respectively mounted on the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10and the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20by a rivet52.

Each of the two press plates50has a first end formed with a substantially V-shaped press portion56rested on the first support portion16of the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10and the second support portion26of the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20respectively. In addition, the first end of each of the two press plates50is provided with a catch gasket58to seal the gap defined between each of the two press plates50and the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10and the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20respectively, so that the two wires (not shown) are respectively clamped between each of the two press plates50and the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10and the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20rigidly and stably.

Each of the two press plates50has a second end formed with an insertion portion54inserted into the insertion hole122of the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10and the insertion hole222of the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20respectively.

In addition, the second disk23of the second jaw plate20has a periphery formed with a plurality of ratchet teeth232, and the auxiliary soldering tool further comprises a snap plate17pivotally mounted on the first holding portion14of the first jaw plate10by a bolt15and located adjacent to the first disk13of the first jaw plate10.

The snap plate17has a first end formed with a locking hook174engaged on the ratchet teeth232of the second disk23of the second jaw plate20and a second end formed with a push portion172.

The auxiliary soldering tool further comprises a torsion spring19mounted on the bolt15and having a first end urged on the snap plate17and a second end urged on the first holding portion14of the first jaw plate10, so that the locking hook174of the snap plate17is constantly engaged on the ratchet teeth232of the second disk23of the second jaw plate20.

In operation, each of the two wires (not shown) has a distal end respectively clamped between the press portion56of each of the two press plates50and the first support portion16of the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10and the second support portion26of the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20respectively. Then, the user's one hand holds the two handle30to move the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10toward the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20, so that the two wires are juxtaposed to each other. Then, the force applied on the two handle30is removed.

At this time, the locking hook174of the snap plate17is engaged on the ratchet teeth232of the second disk23of the second jaw plate20, so that the first holding portion12of the first jaw plate10and the second holding portion22of the second jaw plate20cannot be moved outward relative to each other.

In such a manner, the two wires are juxtaposed to each other rigidly and stably without movement, so that the worker can operate auxiliary soldering tool, with his one hand holding the two handle30and with his other hand holding the soldering the soldering device (not shown) so as to perform the soldering work on the two wires for connecting the two wires by the soldering work.

Accordingly, the soldering work is accomplished by a single worker, thereby facilitating the worker performing the soldering work. In addition, the worker's hand is spaced away from the iron (not shown) of the soldering device, thereby preventing the worker from being injured by the iron at a high temperature, so as to provide a safety effect.

Referring toFIG. 4, an auxiliary soldering tool in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the press portion56′ of each of the two press plates50′ is formed with an arc-shaped portion562′ aligning with the first support portion16′ of the first holding portion12′ of the first jaw plate10′ and the second support portion26′ of the second holding portion22′ of the second jaw plate20′ respectively, so that the two wires are clamped rigidly and stably.
