BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The invention will be better understood, and objectives other than those set forth above will become apparent, when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings, wherein:

[0027] FIG. 1 shows the front and side view of the crimping device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] In the following detailed description, many embodiments are described, as per the invention. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized, and that structural, logical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended description and their equivalents.

[0029] The current invention is a crimping device. It is a manually operated. It is made of strong but lightweight metal. It will save time and increase productivity. It has a pair of handles and one spring, with the spring located at the middle of both legs. The spring is held near to the middle portion and on the inner side of both the legs facing each other. Both ends of the spring are held in position by hinges attached to both the legs. The advantage of using the spring is for maintaining the tension between both the handles. The length of the spring is 1 inch. The spring has a rigid body and a spiral curvature. The handles are 6 inches long and covered with rubber to provide comfort to the user while gripping the device. The handles are used for holding the device. The handle is also used for placing the company logo and for advertisement. The device is portable and can be conveniently carried in all places by the users. The device of the invention would be used for closing the steel clamp around polypropylene straps for creating a tight and secure seal, thereby comfortably and efficiently transporting and shipping products. The device has a pair of jaws that enables tightening and securing the sealing on the polypropylene strap.

[0030] Referring FIG. 1 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the crimping device. It shows a pair of handles (1), that are covered with rubber (2) near the ends. Rubber is used on the handle to provide comfort to users while gripping the device. There is a spring in the middle of both of the handles, which connects them. The jaws (3) are also illustrated, which would be used for closing the stamps on polypropylene bands.

[0031] It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. For example, the above-discussed embodiments may be used in combination with each other. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description.

[0032] The benefits and advantages that may be provided by the present invention have been described above with regard to specific embodiments. These benefits and advantages, and any elements or limitations that may cause them to occur or to become more pronounced, are not to be construed as critical, required, or essential features of any or all of the embodiments.

[0033] While the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it should be understood that the embodiments are illustrative, and that the scope of the invention is not limited to these embodiments. Many variations, modifications, additions, and improvements to the embodiments described above are possible.
