Abstract: A pipe adjustment tool for use in aligning the confronting ends of a pair of pipe sections having a joint therebetween provides a frame having a seating surface for acting against an exterior surface of a pipe section. The seating surface being disposed at a 45-degree angle relative to a threaded bore of the frame. A flexible clamping member is attached to the frame at one end and is a of length to substantially encircle the pipe section. The opposite end of the clamping member is received and secured by a retainer. The retainer and the frame are connected together by an articulated joint formed by a ball-shaped end of a threaded bolt extending through frame and a ball-shaped socket in the retainer. The retainer and frame are movably relative to each other by operating the threaded bolt to provide tension in the clamping member about the pipe section.

Abstract: A clamping device for aligning confronting ends of a pair of pipe members having a joint therebetween, provides a support member for acting against one of the pipe members, a flexible clamping member having a first and second end and of such length as substantially to encircle one of said pipe members when positioned adjacent to the joint; an anchor member axially moveable relative to the support member; a coupler for releaseably coupling the first end of the clamp member to the anchor member; attachment device carried by the anchor member for releasable attachment of a portion of the clamp member that has been attached to the coupler, a section of the clamp member forming a loop. The section selected to be in conjunction with the support member to clampingly encircle, substantially, the circumference of one of the pipe members.
