Abstract
An apparatus for cold forming stabilizer blades from elongated members by holding an elongated member while being bent or twisted to form a stabilizer blade. A mandrel is provided for receiving first and second sleeves so that a force applied by a toggle arrangement causes the first and second sleeves to rotate in opposite directions to bend the elongated member to form a stabilizer blade.

An apparatus for cold forming stabilizer blades from elongated members comprising:
- a. toggle joint means including:
- 1. first and second bar means pivotally connected adjacent one end;
- 2. first sleeve means pivotally secured to the other end of said first bar means;
- and
- 3. second sleeve means pivotally secured to the other end of said second bar means;
- b. first and second clamping means on said first and second sleeve means respectively including retaining means to receive and position an elongated member for forming the stabilizer blade;
- and
- c. mandrel means for receiving said sleeve means so that a force applied to spread apart said first and second bar means rotates said first and second sleeve means in opposite directions on said mandrel to rotate said first and second bar means away from each other to bend the elongated member to form a stabilizer blade.
