Abstract (en)
[origin: US2003075026A1] Water pump pliers consisting of two pincer parts crossing themselves in a connecting region, each consisting of a handle portion and a jaw wherein said pincer parts are movably connected in said connecting region in such a way that said first pincer can be displaced relative to the second pincer to adjust a jaw opening-width on the one hand, and that the pincer parts with jaws can reciprocally pivot on the other hand. A blocking means is provided in such a manner that further shifting of the first pincer part is blocked when the jaws stop against a workpiece to be gripped. A spring element is installed between the pincer parts in such a way that a releasing force from the spring, operating in the opening direction of the jaws, acts upon the pincer parts. The spring element is designed and connected with the handle portions of the two pincer parts in such a way that the spring element, in addition to generating the releasing force, also acts upon the first pincer part with a torque directed around a spring fastening point in such a way that the jaws automatically move into a fully opened opening width following a manual release.
