Abstract
Description
## SummaryThe invention relates to a bending device for drop wires which are used for non-destructive opening of doors. The bending device consists of a base body (FIG. 1 ) with a thickness of 10 mm, which has 10 different height levels with defined heights. Each height step is provided with a channel having a width of 2 mm and a depth of about 5 mm, into which a wire to be bent can be placed. By placing the wire at the respective height level and then bending at the 90 degree angle, precise trap wires with defined heights can be produced. The bending device enables the precise and reproducible production of trap wires and thus improves their effectiveness in non-destructive opening of doors.## Description### Technical FieldThe present invention relates to a bending device for drop wires, and more particularly to a device having defined height levels for precisely bending wires at 90 degrees angle, which are used in the non-destructive opening of doors.### Prior ArtTrap wires are used in the field of lock picking for non-destructive opening of doors. The manufacture of such trap wires requires precise bends at defined heights to effectively process various closure mechanisms. Heretofore, such wires have often been bent manually and without tools, which can lead to inaccuracies and adversely affect the effectiveness of the tools.Known bending devices for wires, as known, for example, from DE102019134785A1 are generally designed for complex 3D bends in industrial production and are not suitable for the precise production of trap wires with defined heights### Object of the InventionThe object of the invention is to provide a bending device which makes it possible to produce drop wires with precise, reproducible bends at various defined heights in order to improve the effectiveness of these tools in the non-destructive opening of doors.###The object is achieved by a bending device which consists of a base body (FIG. 1 ) with a thickness of 10 mm, in which 10 different height levels (FIG. 2 ) are arranged with precise dimensions. Each height step has a channel with a width of 2 mm and a depth of about 5 mm, into which the wire to be bent can be placed. By placing the wire at the respective height level and then bending at the 90 degree angle, precise trap wires with defined heights can be produced.### Advantages of the InventionThe bending device according to the invention offers the following advantages:Precise production of trap wires with defined heightsReproducible resultsSimple handlingVersatile applications involving 10 different height levelsCompact constructionUsable with various wire materialsextensible by additional instructions for further models### EmbodimentAn embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 describes the base body FIG. 2 describes an example with 10 different height levelsIn the figures, the base body is shown with an example of 10 height steps, with 1 of the height of 10 mm, the width 4 of 10 mm, the 2 channel of 2 mm width and 5 mm depth and the 3 of the length of the height step.In a preferred embodiment, the bending device consists of a base body made of metal or plastic with a thickness of 10 mm (4). The base body has 10 different height levels (3) which are dimensioned as follows: 1. height level (2): 5.5 mm (±5 mm) 2. height level (3): 8.5 mm (±5 mm) 3. height level (4): 13 mm (±5 mm) 4. height level (5): 18 mm (±5 mm) 5. height level (6): 25 mm (±5 mm) 6. height level (7): 27.5 mm (±5 mm) 7. height level (8): 32.5 mm (±5 mm) 8. height level (9): 37.5 mm (±5 mm) 9. height level (10): 42.5 mm (±5 mm) 10. height level (11): 62.5 mm (±5 mm)Each height step is provided with a channel (2) having a width of 2 mm and a depth of about 5 mm, into which the wire to be bent can be placed. The channels serve as guides and ensure a precise positioning of the wire during the bending process.The bending device is provided together with guidance explaining the correct use of the various height levels for different applications. The guidance can be expanded by further models in the future and is not limited to the models shown in the exemplary embodiment.List of reference characters1 Height of the bending device 2 Channel of the bending device 3 Length of the bending device 4 Width of the bending device 5 Example of a bending device with 10 height stepsReferences included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
