Patent ID: 7845255

Claim:
Pliers ( 1 ) such as in particular a cutting pliers or a crimping pliers, having pliers limbs ( 2 , 3 ), which pliers limbs ( 2 , 3 ) cross each other with respect to their elongate extent in a joint ( 4 ), form interacting working regions ( 6 ) on one side of the joint ( 4 ) and have gripping limbs ( 5 ) on the other side of the joint ( 4 ), the pliers limbs ( 2 , 3 ) being connected to one another only to be rotatable relative to one another and interacting formations ( 7 , 8 ) being provided on the two pliers limbs ( 2 , 3 ) for rotational guidance, corresponding to a circle having a radius about an axis of rotation (A) of the pliers limbs ( 2 , 3 ) which axis of rotation (A) is lying outside and on the working region side of the formations ( 7 , 8 ), the interacting formations being distanced radially from the axis of rotation, and moreover, one pliers limb ( 3 ) being covered over in the joint ( 4 ) in each case, i.e. on both sides, by an overlapping member ( 9 ) which is fixedly connected to the other pliers limb ( 2 ), wherein the overlapping member ( 9 ) is connected to the other pliers limb ( 2 ) in overlapping manner relative to the formations ( 7 , 8 ) of the one pliers limb ( 3 ), and wherein the interacting formations ( 7 , 8 ) are part circular shaped and said interacting formations ( 7 , 8 ) comprise a rib ( 8 ) on the one pliers limb ( 3 ) and a groove ( 7 ) on the other pliers limb ( 2 ), the groove being matched to the rib ( 8 ) and being of part circular form.
