Abstract: A flaring tool (1) for hollow workpieces having a basic tool body (2) with an expanding mandrel (13), which can be displaced by means of a drive. A supporting device (5) concentrically surrounding the expanding mandrel with an exchangeable expansion head (6) which has radially movable expanding jaws (14) located in a screw cap (16). The supporting device (5) is placed in the basic tool body (2) and can be moved longitudinally by means of a threaded extension (8) in the direction of the (A--A) axis of the expanding mandrel (13), and has an annular flange (11) which serves as a stop (10) for the expansion head. The supporting device (5) is fixed opposite the basic tool body (2) by means of a stopping device. In order to achieve a simple, reliable and reproducible set-up the supporting device (5) has in its annular flange (11), in a circle placed concentrically to the (A--A) axis, index boreholes for an index pin (29), located in the basic tool body (2).

Abstract: An expansion tool (1) for pipes with a basic tool body (2) includes two hand levers (3, 12), one of which (12) operates an expanding mandrel (5) with a free rotating cylinder (19) through a control mechanism (10). By activating the lever, the expanding mandrel emerges from the basic body (2) sliding at a preset stroke against a set (15) of radially moving expanding wedges (16). In order to allow the enforced withdrawal of the expanding mandrel (5) with reduced operating forces and a specific force distribution, the cylinder (19) is journaled on a cylinder pin (19a). The expanding mandrel is connected to the movable hand lever (12) through a retraction device (20). In one form of construction with a cam shaped control mechanism (10), the retraction device (29) consists of a tension member with working points on the cylinder (19) and on the hand lever (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tube cutter, especially for plastic tubes, which comprises a housing that can surround the tube and having a rotation guide gripping the tube. The tube cutter has a cutting tool which can be sunk into the outer surface of the tube, having a lengthwise guide and a tool holder movable therein. The cutting tool has a cutting edge which runs at an angle to the direction of movement of the tool holder and lies substantially in a plane passing through the rotational axis. By these means it is possible to produce bevels with the cutting edge.
