Pipe or conduit section alignment apparatus

An apparatus for aligning sections of pipe, the apparatus comprising:

• a first clamp member comprising a first clamp jaw and a second clamp jaw longitudinally spaced from the first clamp jaw;
• a second clamp member comprising a first clamp jaw and a second clamp jaw longitudinally spaced from the first clamp jaw;
• a first hinge comprising an elongated portion having a first aperture and a second aperture wherein the first aperture is spaced apart from the second aperture;
• a first pivot member inserted through the first aperture of the first hinge and pivotally coupling the first hinge to the first clamp jaw of the first clamp member;
• a second pivot member inserted into the second aperture of the first hinge and pivotally coupling the first hinge to the first clamp jaw of the second clamp member;
• a second hinge comprising an elongated portion having a first aperture and a second aperture wherein the first aperture is spaced apart from the second aperture;
• a third pivot member inserted through the first aperture of the second hinge and pivotally coupling the second hinge to the second clamp jaw of the first clamp member;
• a fourth pivot member inserted into the second aperture of the second hinge and pivotally coupling the second hinge to the second clamp jaw of the second clamp member;
• a first plurality of swivel mount assemblies, each one of the first plurality of swivel mount assemblies being coupled with each one of, and adjustable to vary the longitudinal spacing between, the first clamp jaw and the second clamp jaw of the first clamp member;
• and
• a second plurality of swivel mount assemblies, each one of the second plurality of swivel assemblies being coupled with each one of, and adjustable to vary the longitudinal spacing between, the first clamp jaw and the second clamp jaw of the second clamp member.
