The invention relates to the technical field of manual hardware tools, in particular to a locking protection method for
locking pliers. Comprising a fixed jaw, a movable jaw, a fixed
handle and a movable
handle, the movable jaw is connected with the fixed
handle through a
rivet A, the movable jaw is connected with the movable handle through a
rivet B, an adjusting screw makes contact with the rear end of a supporting plate, the front end of the supporting plate is connected with the movable handle through a
rivet C, and a tension spring is arranged between the middle of the fixed handle and the movable jaw. A safety switch is arranged at the position, close to the front end of the supporting plate, in the movable handle, a damping compression spring is arranged between the side portion of the safety switch and the side wall of the movable handle, and the safety switch and the damping compression spring are connected with the movable handle through a rivet E. When a workpiece is clamped, after the notch of the safety switch makes contact with the front end of the supporting plate, the safety switch locks the
locking pliers at the moment, the
locking pliers cannot be opened no matter the handle is opened or in other
modes, safety is achieved, the situation that the locking pliers are opened due to mistaken touch can be avoided, and potential safety hazards are eliminated.
