Abstract
A tool for crimping a ring member on a pipe is provided. The tool includes a first arm having a plurality of slots on a first side and a second slot on a second side. Each slot of the plurality of slots is a different size diameter, and the at least one second slot has a different size. The tool further includes a second arm operably coupled to rotate. The second arm having a plurality of slots on a third side and at least one fourth slot on a fourth side. Each of the plurality of slots are sized and positioned to cooperate with each other when in the first position to crimp the ring member. The at least one fourth slot is sized and positioned to cooperate with the at least one second slot when in the second position to crimp the ring member.
Claims21
A tool for crimping a ring member on a pipe, the tool comprising:
- a first arm having a plurality of first slots on a first side and at least one second slot on a second side, wherein each slot of the plurality of first slots is a different size diameter, and wherein the at least one second slot has a different diameter from the plurality of first slots, the arm movable between a first position and a second position;
- and,
- a second arm operably coupled to rotate relative to the first arm, the second arm having a plurality of third slots on a third side and at least one fourth slot on a fourth side, wherein each of the plurality of third slots are sized and positioned to cooperate with one of the plurality of first slots when in the first position to crimp the ring member, and wherein the at least one fourth slot is sized and positioned to cooperate with the at least one second slot when in the second position to crimp the ring member.
A tool for crimping a ring member on a pipe, the tool comprising:
- a first arm movable between a first position and a second position, the first arm including:
- a first side and a second side;
- the first side having a first semi-circular slot having a first diameter and an adjacent second semi-circular slot having a second diameter the second diameter being smaller than the first diameter;
- the second side having a least one third semi-circular slot having a third diameter that is a different size from the first diameter and the second diameter;
- a second arm operably coupled to the first arm and rotatable between a third position and a fourth position, the second arm including:
- a third side disposed opposite the first side and a fourth side;
- the third side having a fourth semi-circular slot having a fourth diameter arranged opposite the first semi-circular slot in the third position, the fourth diameter being the same as the first diameter;
- the third side having fifth semi-circular slot having a fifth diameter arranged opposite the second semi-circular slot in the third position, the fifth diameter being the same as the second diameter;
- and
- the fourth side having at least one sixth semi-circular slot having a sixth diameter arranged opposite the at least one third semi-circular slot in the fourth position, the sixth diameter being the same as the third diameter.
A tool for crimping a ring member on a pipe, the tool comprising:
- a frame member;
- a first arm rotationally coupled on a first end to the frame member, the first arm having at least one first slot on a first side and at least one second slot on an opposing second side;
- and,
- a second arm rotationally coupled on a second end to the frame member, the second arm having at least one third slot on a third side and at least one fourth slot on an opposing fourth side, wherein the at least one third slot is disposed opposite the at least one first slot and the at least one fourth slot is disposed opposite the at least one second slot.
