Abstract: A bending apparatus wherein a blank is passed through a guide hole of a blank guide, the tip of the blank is passed through a blank insertion portion of a bending operation member and is fed in a predetermined length, the bending direction of the bending operation member is determined by the rotation of a bending direction determination member to a desired angular position, the bending operation member is rotated by a predetermined angle by the sliding operation of a bending drum thereby to bend and shape the blank, and thereafter a cutting blade is moved by the sliding operation of a cutting drum to cut the blank that has thus been bent and shaped.

Abstract: A bending apparatus wherein a long material to be bent is inserted into an axial guide hole of a cylindrical material guide, the bending direction of the long material being determined by a bending direction setting body which is provided rotatably on the outer periphery of the material guide and set in any desired rotational position, and the long material is bent by a bending operation body which is provided in front of the bending direction setting body rotatably around a support shaft set to be perpendicular to the material to be bent and has a material insertion portion formed facing the fore end of the material guide.
