20130091921 | Rod benders and methods of use - A rod bender includes an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end and extending along a longitudinal axis; a first arm having a proximal end attached to the distal end of the body and extending transversely therefrom and having a longitudinal axis offset from the longitudinal axis of the body; and a second arm having a proximal end attached to the distal end of the body and extending transversely therefrom and having a longitudinal axis offset from the longitudinal axis of the body and offset from the longitudinal axis of the first arm, said second arm including a channel positioned toward a distal end of said second arm, said channel having a longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second arm. | 04-18-2013 |
20150033819 | TIE BAR TENSIONING SYSTEM - A tie bar tensioning system that allows a bending machine operator to removably couple an upper end of a bend die post of the bending machine to a base of the bending machine via a tie bar, and to lock the tie bar in a tensioned position. The tensioning system includes a stationary member and a rotatable member, each with aligned tie bar passages for receiving the one end of the tie bar. Both the stationary member and the rotatable member include respective engagement surfaces, with the rotatable member engagement surface being rotatable relative to the stationary member engagement surface between a released position and a tensioned position whereat the rotatable member is selectively lockable. The rotation of the rotatable member with the stationary engagement surface in engagement with the stationary engagement surface longitudinally displacing the rotatable member relative to the stationary member. | 02-05-2015 |

20100294018 | DENT REMOVAL TOOL - A dent removal tool for removing dents from automobile panels is provided. The tool includes a body with a handle on one end and a rest plate for contacting the body panel on the opposite end. A clamp for gripping one or more studs which have been welded to the body panel is located between the handle and the rest plate. The tool gives an automobile repair technician a high degree of mechanical advantage and control in removing dents from body panels. | 11-25-2010 |
20110000273 | POWERED CONDUIT BENDER - A powered conduit bending tool comprises a portable drive housing including a handle and having a powered drive gear. A bracket is secured to the housing defining a pivot connection spaced from the drive gear. A guide is operatively secured to the housing. A platform is pivotally connected to the bracket at the pivot connection and includes a driven gear operatively engaging the drive gear to controllably pivot the platform. A shoe is removably mountable to the platform and comprises a first bender defining a downwardly opening arcuate channel selectively positionable proximate the guide. A hook is proximate one end of the bender for engaging a conduit received in the channel. In use, the guide supports a conduit engaged by the hook and pivotal movement of the shoe driven by the platform deforms the conduit as it passes by the guide. | 01-06-2011 |

20120103053 | APPARATUS FOR BENDING RESILIENT TAB - An apparatus for bending a resilient tab, includes a chassis to support the tab, a securing element to hold the tab and a sliding element for pressing the tab. The securing element has a clamping portion pressing against a base of the tab and a blocking portion extending towards the sliding element. The sliding element includes a base, a pressing element and a bending element slidably connected to the base. The pressing element is pivotably connected to the bending element. The sliding element can move towards the securing element. As the sliding element moves towards the securing element, the pressing element is pressed by the blocking portion to move relative to the bending element. The bending element is driven by the pressing element to raise and presses the free distal end of the tab at a required angle. | 05-03-2012 |
