| 20090199681 | HOSE CLAMP REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION TOOL - A hose clamp compression tool for engaging and compressing opposed or opposite end tangs of a hose clamp includes a first fixed plate and jaw and a second fixed plate spaced from the first fixed plate and jaw. The first and second plates are mounted on rails with a sliding plate and jaw also mounted on the rails and positioned between the fixed plates. The sliding plate is rotatably adjustable in spacing from the one fixed plate by means of a threaded rod journaled to the fixed plates and threaded to the sliding plate. The jaws each include both a transverse slot cooperative with an end tang of a band type hose clamp and a channel extending from the slot for engagement with the end tang of a ring or wire type hose clamp thereby enabling use of the tool for either a band type or a wire type hose clamp. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090160180 | AIR LINE DISCONNECT TOOLS - A conduit disconnect tool is fabricated from a hollow tubular member having one end angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the hollow tubular member and formed with a fork configuration at that end. The opposite end of the tool is milled to provide a semi-cylindrical section. Either end may be impinged on a fitting release plate to effect and permit removal of conduit from the fitting. | 06-25-2009 |
