A tool for crimping work pieces to one another is disclosed. The tool is mounted on a power actuator having a reciprocating ram for effecting crimping. The tool includes a body engageable with the workpiece. A movable head is mounted on the body and receives the ram. A jaw is pivotably mounted on the body. A link connects the head to the jaw, which pivots in response to the ram engaging and moving the head. The jaw has a tooth that penetrates the work pieces upon pivoting of the jaw. Penetration of the work pieces by the tooth crimps the pieces to one another. A receiver is mounted on the body to permit its engagement with the actuator by means of an attachment device adapted to a particular actuator. The tool may be removably attachable to the actuator or permanently attached thereto.

What is claimed is: 1. A tool for crimping a first workpiece to a second workpiece positioned beneath said first workpiece, said tool being mountable on an actuator having a reciprocable ram for effecting said crimping, said tool comprising: a body having a contact surface engageable with said firs
What is claimed is: 1. A tool for crimping a first workpiece to a second workpiece positioned beneath said first workpiece, said tool being mountable on an actuator having a reciprocable ram for effecting said crimping, said tool comprising: a body having a contact surface engageable with said first workpiece; a jaw pivotally mounted on said body adjacent to said contact surface; a tooth mounted on said jaw, said tooth being movable in a direction facing outwardly from said contact surface upon pivoting of said jaw for forcing said tooth into said first and second workpieces thereby crimping said first workpiece to said second workpiece; a head movably mounted on said body and having an impact surface engageable with said ram; a link having a first end pivotally attached to said head and a second end pivotally attached to said jaw, said link causing said jaw to pivot and move said tooth in said outwardly facing direction upon motion of said head; a biasing member positioned between said head and said body, said biasing member biasing said head away from said body, thereby drawing said tooth in a direction toward said contact surface; a receiver mounted on said body and adapted to engage said actuator; an attachment device adapted to attach said actuator to said receiver for mounting said tool to said actuator; and said crimping being effected by said ram moving said head, said links causing pivoting of said jaws, said teeth being thereby forced into said first and second workpieces to crimp said workpieces together. 2. A tool according to claim 1, further comprising: a second contact surface mounted on said body and engageable with said first workpiece, said second contact surface being oriented at an angle to said first named contact surface; a second jaw pivotally mounted on said body adjacent to said second contact surface; a second tooth mounted on said second jaw, said second tooth being movable in a direction facing outwardly from said second contact surface upon pivoting of said second jaw for forcing said second tooth into said first and second workpieces; and a second link having a first end pivotally attached to said head and a second end pivotally attached to said second jaw, said second link causing said second jaw to pivot and move said second tooth in said outwardly facing direction upon motion of said head. 3. A tool according to claim 2, wherein said jaws pivot substantially simultaneously thereby moving said teeth in said outwardly facing directions substantially simultaneously and into said first and second workpieces. 4. A tool according to claim 2, wherein said contact surfaces are oriented at right angles relative to one another. 5. A tool according to claim 1, wherein said biasing member comprises a spring. 6. A tool according to claim 1, wherein said receiver comprises a channel positioned within said body opposite to said contact surface and said attachment device comprises a bolt extending transversely through said channel and engaging said actuator for attaching said actuator to said body. 7. A tool for crimping a first workpiece to a second workpiece positioned beneath said first workpiece, said tool comprising: a body having first and second contact surfaces engageable with said first workpiece, said contact surfaces being oriented at a right angle to one another; a first jaw pivotally mounted on said body adjacent to said first contact surface; a first tooth mounted on said first jaw, said first tooth being movable in a direction facing outwardly from said first contact surface upon pivoting of said first jaw; a second jaw pivotally mounted on said body adjacent to said second contact surface; a second tooth mounted on said second jaw, said second tooth being movable in a direction facing outwardly from said second contact surface upon pivoting of said second jaw; an actuator having a movable rain positioned proximate to said body; a head movably mounted on said body, said head being engaged with said ram, said ram effecting motion of said head; a biasing member positioned between said head and said body and biasing said head away from said body; a first link having a first end pivotally attached to said head and a second end pivotally attached to said first jaw; a second link having a first end pivotally attached to said head and a second end pivotally attached to said second jaw; and said crimping being effected by said ram moving said head, said links causing pivoting of said jaws, said teeth being thereby forced into said first and second workpieces to crimp said workpieces together. 8. A tool according to claim 7, wherein said first and second jaws pivot substantially simultaneously thereby forcing said first and second teeth into said first and second workpieces substantially simultaneously. 9. A tool according to claim 7, wherein said actuator is electrically powered. 10. A tool according to claim 7, wherein said actuator is pneumatically powered. 11. A tool according to claim 7, further comprising third and fourth contact surfaces oriented at a right angle relatively to one another, said third and fourth contact surfaces being positioned in spaced relation to said first and second contact surfaces and engageable with said first workpiece simultaneously with said first and second contact surfaces. 12. A tool for crimping a first workpiece to a second workpiece positioned beneath said first workpiece, said tool being mountable on an actuator having a reciprocable ram for effecting said crimping, said tool comprising: a body having a contact surface engageable with said first workpiece; a jaw pivotally mounted on said body adjacent to said contact surface; a tooth mounted on said jaw, said tooth being movable in a direction facing outwardly from said contact surface upon pivoting of said jaw for forcing said tooth into said first and second workpieces thereby crimping said first workpiece to said second workpiece; a head movably mounted on said body and having an impact surface engageable with said ram; a link having a first end pivotally attached to said head and a second end pivotally attached to said jaw, said link causing said jaw to pivot and move said tooth in said outwardly facing direction upon motion of said head; a receiver mounted on said body and adapted to engage said actuator, said receiver comprising a channel positioned within said body opposite to said contact surface; an attachment device adapted to attach said actuator to said receiver for mounting said tool to said actuator,said attachment device comprising a bolt extending through said channel and engaging said actuator for attaching said actuator to said body; and said crimping being effected by said ram moving said head, said links causing pivoting of said jaws, said teeth being thereby forced into said first and second workpieces to crimp said workpieces together.
