  • Patent number: 11660804
    Abstract: A device for expanding and shaping the end of pipes includes a head with means for connecting to an elastically deformable expanding element with a first elongated portion for being introduced into the end of the pipe, the expanding element having a central through hole, and an extracting member including an expansion head suitable to move from outside to inside the central through hole of the expanding element or the other way round, so as to cause deformation, or to allow the expanding element to elastically return to an undeformed state, means for moving said extracting member, wherein: —the connecting means is suitable for steadily constraining the expanding element to the head for a plurality of different pipes and to allow the expanding element to be replaced when worn out, the elongated portion of the expanding element is made of an elastically deformable polyurethane plastic material having certain characteristics.
