  • O-ring positioning tool
    Patent number: 5138752
    Abstract: The tool of this invention is used to insert an O-ring into a cylindrical housing. Generally, the slot for seating an O-ring is internal of a housing and requires some manipulations to properly seat the ring. This invention provides a tool with an adjustable stop that limits the insertion of the tool to the exact location of the slot in the housing where the O-ring will seat. The tool has a loading assembly and a movable trigger assembly that properly loads, positions and moves the O-ring when appropriate.
