Abstract

A drive for operating a punching tool comprises a toggle-joint lever to one of whose lever members the punching tool is operatively connected. The second lever member of the toggle-joint forms part of a quadrilateral linkage. This linkage consists of the second lever member, a first transverse lever member linked at one end to the second lever member and at the other end to another lever element, and a second transverse lever member linked at one end to the other lever element. The first transverse lever member is a two-armed lever supported on a fixed pivot near its linkage to the second lever member for pivoting the two-armed lever about the fixed pivot. The second transverse lever member and the other lever element are linked to a crank drive.
