  • Patent number: 4196610
    Abstract: A device that enables selective angular positioning of the handle of a conduit bender. The device includes two opposed mounting members having serrated surfaces. They are releasably joined so that one may be selectively pivoted about an axis relative to the other. One member is operatively connected to a conduit bender handle while the other member is connected to the rigid body of the conduit bender. An offset provision is made between the handle and an adjacent mounting member. The handle can therefore be removed and located adjacent either side of the rigid body while remaining pivotal in a 360.degree. arc about the axis. A threaded member may be tightened to lock the members together.
