Abstract: A spinal plate bender includes an actuation assembly, a collet, and a head portion. The actuation assembly includes a housing, a lever pivotably coupled to the housing, a linkage pivotably coupled to the lever, and an actuation shaft operatively coupled with the linkage. The lever is transitionable between a neutral position and an actuated position, which imparts axial displacement to the actuation shaft. The collet includes a proximal section, a sleeve section extending distally from the proximal section, and a coupling section extending distally from the sleeve section. The head portion is configured to support a spinal plate. The head portion includes an anvil portion coupled to a distal end portion of the actuation shaft. The anvil portion is configured to engage a spinal plate to cause bending of a spinal plate supported in the head portion.

The repairing kit can be used to repair automotive dents and restore a smooth surface to an automobile using a DIY method, without damaging the baking finish surface after repairing the automotive dent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bending press comprising an upper table (130) and a lower table (132) placed edge-to-edge in the vertical direction, with one of the tables being movable relative to the other in the vertical direction, and with one of the tables presenting slots (134, 136) that are placed symmetrically relative to the midplane (P?P). Each slot has an open outside end and comprises a first slot portion (135a, 137a) and a second slot portion (135b, 137b) that is situated on the inside relative to the first slot portion and that is connected thereto, the shapes of said slot portions being such that the stiffness of the table portion situated between the slot and the tool fastener is greater between the first slot portion and the tool fastener than between the second slot portion and the tool fastener. At least one element (180) for adjusting the flexing of said table is disposed in the first slot portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bending press or “press brake” for bending metal sheets, wherein the press includes at least one linking rod, which rod is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the movement direction, having one end that is fastened to the deformable portion of the second table and having its other end fastened to the housing.

Abstract: A pipe bending shoe including a support frame, a pipe channel defined by a first bending frame connected with the support frame and by a second bending frame connected with the support frame, and a plurality of flexible straps spaced along the pipe channel and spanning the pipe channel transversely between the first bending frame and the second bending frame in order to provide a transversely segmented pipe sling, wherein the pipe sling maintains a constant convex longitudinal sling profile during bending of a pipe using the pipe bending shoe.

Abstract: The invention is a rebar bender that is installed in the trailer hitch of a vehicle and used to bend rebar (up to #5) at any angle and length. The rebar is bent using this tool and the strength of the person bending the rebar.

Abstract: A step-by-step bending machine has a first movable bending member, a second cooperating adjustably fixed bending member, and a third central positionally fixed bending member on an opposite side of a plate to be bent from the first and second members and positioned between the first and second members. The second and third members hold the plate while the first member bends the plate against the third central member. The second member is positionally adjustable to accommodate thickness of the plate. The first member is positioned by cooperating pairs of positioning rams and is moved against the plate by parallel main rams.

Abstract: The invention deals with the field of bending presses, and, more precisely, deals with a device for handling the upper table moving along guiding pillars and carrying the punch. For every table guiding pillar, the device provides for a main lever (10) hinged in a point that is substantially axial with its related guiding pillar and whose driving arm (10a) is hinged to means sliding along a rod hinged to the upper table. The lever resisting arm (10b), whose length is approximately 8–10 cm shorter that the driving arm length, rotates a crank (12) connected through an eccentric (13) or a connection rod to a connecting rod (14) that transmits the translating motion to the upper table.

Abstract: A material bender for bending a stock material into a desired shape. The material bender has a base plate on which is mounted a die holder that holds a die shaped to provide the desired bend shape, a ram guide configured to provide a ram path for guiding a bending ram that pushes against the stock material, and various upwardly projecting pins configured to support the material as it is bent by the bending ram. In one configuration, the bending ram pushes against the stock material to cause it to bend against the die. In another configuration, the bending ram pushes against the stock material to cause it to bend against one or more of the upwardly projecting pins. The base plate is configured to be mounted on a mounting plate of a mounting apparatus that includes a support frame configured to attach to the hitch of a vehicle.

Abstract: A rod bender includes a ram shaft, having a distal end with an arcuate rod contact surface, that is movable along a shaft path that passes between two rollers, each having a curved roller surface. Each of the rollers is positionable, in an analog manner, at a variety of positions along a respective roller path, relative to a distal position of the arcuate rod contact surface. A straight rod, positioned against the rollers so that it spans the space separating the rollers and crosses the shaft path, can be rammed with the ram shaft so that the rod is bent into an arc. The rod is bent as the movement of the ram shaft pushes the arcuate rod contact surface forward against the center of the rod, while the curved roller surfaces prevent corresponding forward movement of the lateral portions of the rod.

Abstract: A press brake is comprised of a frame having a bed secured thereto with a ram displaceable to and away from the bed whereby to form metal sheets positioned on the bed. The ram is secured to a hydraulic piston through opposed symmetrical linkage assemblies. Each linkage assembly is connected adjacent opposed ends of the ram and includes a lever member pivotally secured to the frame by an anchor pin pivot connection. A link arm interconnects the lever member to the ram by pivot pin connections adjacent opposed ends of the link arm. An interconnecting bar interconnects the lever member of each linkage assembly together by a further pivot pin connection adjacent opposed ends of the interconnecting bar.
