  • Patent number: 6575008
    Abstract: A method and pipe-bending tool for manufacturing a pipe-offset for a connector at the end of a pipe, needed in the extension of the connector of the pipe of a pipe layer installed on a surface in which said pipe-offset for the connector, i.e. two consecutive bends are manufactured close to the end of the pipe due to the need of space of the connector, in order to move the end of the pipe in parallel to a certain distance from the level of the pipe layer. The bends are produced by placing the pipe between two lasts of a handheld tool, which are pressed against each other with the help of an operating device and in which there exists a pipe-offset of the connector, i.e. forms equal to both bends. The lasts are able to turn at least in a limited manner around the axle in the direction of the pressure, whereby the lasts can easily be turned in the direction of the pipe.
