  • Pin extraction tool
    Patent number: 9085071
    Abstract: A tool for extracting a pin inserted in a component bore extending into a pin receiving component, the tool comprising: a pin gripping element configurable between a released configuration in which the pin and the pin gripping element are movable relative to each other and a gripping configuration in which the pin gripping element grips the pin; a base element for abutting against the pin receiving component; and a gripping element mount mounting the pin gripping element to the base element, the gripping element mount being configurable between a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein, in the first configuration, the pin gripping element is substantially adjacent to the base element, and in the second configuration, the pin gripping element is further away from the base element than in the first configuration. An actuator selectively moves the gripping element mount between the first and second configurations.
