Abstract
A pipe bender includes a bender head including an arcuate rocker, an arcuate aperture defined in the rocker, a bending angle stop, and a pin assembly slidably coupling the bending angle stop to the rocker via the arcuate aperture. The bending angle stop may be disposed at least partially within the outer threshold of the bender head and may extend outward beyond the outer threshold of the bender head when the bending angle stop is secured to the arcuate rocker.
Claims20
A pipe bender comprising:
- a bender head comprising an arcuate rocker;
- an arcuate aperture defined in the rocker;
- a bending angle stop;
- and
- a pin assembly slidably coupling the bending angle stop to the rocker via the arcuate aperture.
2 more elements
A method of using a pipe bender, the method comprising:
- operating a pin assembly to cause the pin assembly to be slidably movable within an aperture defined in a bender head of the pipe bender, wherein the pin assembly is coupled to a bending angle stop;
- sliding the pin assembly within the aperture to place the bending angle stop at a desired location along the bender head;
- and
- operating the pin assembly to secure the bending angle stop at the desired location.
