Abstract
A pin straightening tool including a shaft terminating in an end assembly, a chamber in the end assembly for receiving a bent pin therein, the chamber terminating in a shelf inside the end assembly, and a bore located in the chamber for straightening the bent pin as the shaft is rotated urging the distal end of the bent pin into the bore.
Claims39
A pin straightening tool comprising:
- a shaft terminating in an end assembly;
- a chamber in the end assembly for receiving a bent pin therein, the chamber terminating in a shelf inside the end assembly;
- and
- a bore located in the chamber for straightening the bent pin as the shaft is rotated urging the distal end of the bent pin into the bore.
1 more element
A pin straightening tool comprising:
- a shaft terminating in an end assembly receivable in a receptical containing a bent pin;
- a cam surface inside the end assembly configured to urge the distal end of the bent pin into a straight configuration;
- and
- a bore which receives the distal end of the pin therein when it is urged into the straight configuration by the cam surface.
1 more element
A pin straightening tool comprising:
- a shaft terminating in an end assembly having a first distally located reduced diameter portion and a second larger reduced diameter portion adjacent the first reduced diameter portion;
- a chamber in the first reduced diameter portion terminating in a shelf, the chamber having a gap therein forming two opposing longitudinally extending edges which can be driven behind a bent over pin;
- and
- a bore located in the shelf and extending into the second reduced diameter portion for straightening the bent pin as the shaft is rotated forcing the distal end of the bent pin into the bore.

A pin straightening tool comprising:
- a shaft terminating in an end assembly;
- a chamber in the end assembly terminating in a shelf therein, the chamber having an interior wall defining a cam surface terminating in a gap forming two opposing longitudinally extending edges receivable in a receptical containing a bent pin therein;
- and
- a bore abutting the interior wall of the chamber for receiving the bent pin therein as the tool is rotated, as one longitudinally extending edge moves behind the bent pin, and the cam surface urges the bent pin into the bore.
1 more element
A pin straightening tool comprising:
- a shaft;
- a collar portion on a distal end of the shaft which urges the pin into a concentric relationship inside the receptical, said collar portion defined by a reduced diameter distal end of the shaft, a chamber eccentrically located in the reduced diameter distal end, and an opening in the reduced diameter distal end of the shaft in communication with the chamber;
- and
- a bore which receives the distal end of the pin therein as the collar portion is rotated.
