Abstract: A pipe bending plier, including a planar plate connected with a housing and a pair of spaced stationary anvil members coupled with the plate, a movable presser slidably coupled with the planar plate and movable relative to the housing and the anvil members, a movable handle for moving the movable presser towards the anvil members, a fixed handle coupled with the housing and a spring coupled with the housing for holding the movable handle away from the fixed handle, a pawl-ratchet mechanism housed within the housing and comprising an extension arm on a portion thereof carrying a ratchet, and a pawl connected with the movable handle, the ratchet being coupled with the movable presser and operatively associated with the pawl in one direction of movement of the extension arm for movement by the extension arm in one orientation thereof towards the pair of spaced stationary anvil members and in another orientation of the extension arm, the pawl and the ratchet are disengaged so that the extension arm is movable tog

Abstract: A pipe expanding tool comprising a cylindraceous member having a pipe of oppositely disposed openings and an outer collar; a conical-shaped stepped expander having segmental members including a top stepped portion receivable with the collar, an elastic member receivable in the top stepped portion for urging the segmental members together to close longitudinal slits therebetween; an axially movable spreader receivable within the expander for overcoming compression on the top stepped portion exerted by the elastic member to spread the segmental members away from each other; a plunger for movement of the segmental members transversely of a longitudinal axis of the plunger and spreader; and an arm bearing against the plunger to move the spreader into the expander for increasing the outer diameter thereof and for movement in an opposite direction out of the expander so that the elastic material urges the segmental members together to close longitudinal slits for decreasing the outer diameter of the expander.
