Problems solved by technology

[0003] The problem with this type of audible system is that the user is not aware that crimp pressure has been achieved if the audible pop is not very loud or non-existent
If the user continues to operate the tool motor without further crimping action, the battery will be drained unnecessarily

Embodiment Construction

[0017] refer to figure 1 , which shows an exploded perspective view of a tool 10 incorporating features of the present invention. Although the invention will be described with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be embodied in many alternative forms of embodiments. In addition, any suitable size, shape or type of elements or materials could be used.

[0018] Tool 10 is a hand held hydraulically operated battery powered tool. However, features of the present invention can be used in non-battery operated tools. Tool 10 is a crimping tool for crimping electrical connectors onto conductors, such as, for example, cables. However, features of the present invention can be used with any suitable type of hydraulically operated tool, such as for example a cutting tool.

[0019] refer to figure 2 The tool 10 generally includes a pump 12 , a motor 14 , a transmission mechanism 16 connecting the motor to the pum...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hydraulic tool, and more particularly, to a tool with a tactile feedback system. Background technique [0002] Battery powered hydraulic crimping tools are known. Some battery-operated hydraulic crimping tools have systems that produce an audible sound, such as a "pop," when a predetermined hydraulic pressure is reached. This can be used to signal to the user that a good crimp has been achieved. This sound can be produced by the pressure relief valve opening. [0003] The problem with this type of audible system is that the user is not aware that crimp pressure has been achieved if the audible pop is not very loud or absent. If the user continues to operate the tool motor without further crimping action, the battery will be unnecessarily drained. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide an alternative type of feedback to the user indicating that a predetermined crimp pressure has been achieved so that the user can ...
