Definitions

  • pipe couplings are used wherein a nut element is fixedly screwed over a flared pipe element on an end piece which is for example fixed to a wall or tabletop.
  • the pipes are usually manufactured from plastic material as it is easy to make a flared or truncated cone-shaped extremity on ends of these pipes.
  • Such plastic pipes have a short life span particularly in respect of gas-tightness.
  • preference is given to pipes of stainless steel for beer and/or soft drinks.
  • these pipes have to be provided with flared pipe ends, extensive equipment has to be disposed at the place of installation due to the considerable forces which have to be exerted on the stainless steel pipe ends.
  • Hand-tools for widening pipe ends are known e.g. from NL-A-7.6 12.841 and 7.7 12.995, wherein however these do not relate to the arranging of a truncated cone-shaped pipe end.
  • Known apparatus e.g. as described in GB-A-2.098.529, for flaring stainless steel pipes, are of heavy weight, and need a vase, such as a bench, which has to be transported to a installation location.
  • the present invention provides a hand tool as defined in claim 1.
  • the hand tool according to the invention can be embodied with dimensions which are hardly larger than a so-called pipe wrench, which is suited as hand-tool and which considerably facilitate installation operations, particularly in places which are difficult of access, such as under and/or behind a bar table in a catering establishment.
  • a preferred embodiment of a tool 1 according to the present invention comprises a first side plate 2 onto which a first holding jaw 3 is fixedly attached, while a second holding jaw 4 is provided with protruding portions 5 which are movable up and downward in slots 6.
  • the slot 6 which is provided in a second side plate 7 can be seen in fig. 1.
  • the second side plate 7 is attachable to the fixed holding jaw 3 using screw bolts 8, 9.
  • a first operating arm 11 is pivotally attached using pivot shaft 12, rings 13 and nuts 14.
  • a cam part 16 is arranged between operating arm 11 and pivot shaft 12.
  • a second operating arm 17 is further attached pivotally between side plates 2 and 7 using pivot shaft 18, rings 19 and nuts 20.
  • the cam part 21 coupled to operating arm 17 is provided with a roller element 22.
  • a spring member 26 is arranged which engages onto the protruding portion 5, in order to urge the holding jaw 4, in the position shown in fig. 1, into the open wide position of fig. 1.
  • a pipe end (not shown) is inserted between holding jaws 3, 4 onto mandrel 30, wherein the mandrel 30 provided with a tapering end 31 is pressed to its retracted position.
  • holding jaw 4 (fig. 2B) is subsequently constrained downward, for which purpose the cam part 16 is provided with a rounded side.
  • Holding jaws 3, 4 are preferably provided with screw thread in order to clamp onto a pipe end such that it will not slide during the following treatment with the tool 1 according to the present invention.
  • the operating arm 17 is then brought into the position shown in fig. 2C and pressed into the pipe end (not shown), wherein the roller element 22 rolls along the rear end of the mandrel 30.
  • the mandrel 30, in particular the tapering tip 31 thereof and the holding or clamping parts 3, 4 are made of hardened steel.
  • the preferred embodiment shown and described is only slightly larger than a pipe wrench and has a weight of approximately one kilogram or slightly more.
  • a pipe coupling 40 (fig. 3, 4) comprises an end piece 41, which is for example attached to a wall or table-top using screw thread 42, in addition to a second screw thread 43 onto which a nut element 44 can be screwed.
  • the nut element 44 is pushed over the pipe end before a flared end 46 is arranged thereon.
  • a sealing ring 47 is received between pipe end 45 and end piece 41.
  • the flare 46 is dimensioned such that a practically seamless transition is created between pipe end 45 and end piece 41, which is particularly important for avoiding contamination in such a pipe coupling as well as for preventing frothing of carbonated drinks.
  • the present invention offers possibilities for applying stainless steel pipes anywhere where pipes of copper or plastic have up until now been applied.

Claims (4)

  1. Outil à main (1) destiné à pourvoir un tuyau d'une extrémité élargie approximativement tronconique, l'outil (1) comprenant :
    des moyens de support ;
    un dispositif de serrage comprenant une première (3) et une deuxième (4) mâchoires de serrage, la première et la deuxième mâchoires de serrage (3, 4) étant équipées, à l'intérieur, d'un filetage destiné à maintenir de façon fixe et à serrer une extrémité de tube, dans lequel la deuxième mâchoire est guidée de façon coulissante en direction et à l'opposé de la première mâchoire afin de serrer l'extrémité de tuyau entre les mâchoires ;
    un mandrin (30), le mandrin (30) étant reçu de façon coulissante dans un canal ménagé dans les moyens de support pour se déplacer dans une direction axiale du tuyau qui, lorsque l'outil est utilisé, est serré entre les mâchoires (3, 4), dans lequel le mandrin (30) en acier présente une dureté telle qu'une extrémité de tuyau peut être élargie avec, le mandrin en acier étant pourvu d'une extrémité conique ;
    un premier bras de commande (11) qui entraíne la deuxième mâchoire (4) à coulisser en direction de la première mâchoire (3) lorsque l'extrémité de tuyau est serrée entre les mâchoires ;
    un deuxième bras de commande (17) qui entraíne le mandrin (30) à se déplacer par rapport au dispositif de serrage et aux moyens de support, caractérisé en ce que la première mâchoire (3) ne forme qu'une seule pièce avec la partie des moyens de support dans laquelle le canal du mandrin est ménagé, et en ce que les moyens de support comprennent, en outre, une première plaque latérale (2) et une deuxième plaque latérale (7), la première mâchoire (3) étant montée fixement entre les plaques latérales (2, 7) et la deuxième mâchoire (2) étant fixée entre les plaques latérales (2, 7) afin de pouvoir être guidée de façon coulissante en direction et à l'opposé de la première mâchoire (3), afin de serrer l'extrémité de tuyau entre les mâchoires.
  2. Outil à main selon la revendication 1, dans lequel les pivots (12, 18) du premier et du deuxième bras de commande (11, 17) sont fixés entre les deux plaques latérales, plaques latérales (2, 7) qui sont équipées d'une fente (6) le long de laquelle une partie dépassante (23) du dispositif de serrage peut effectuer un va-et-vient.
  3. Outil à main selon la revendication 1 ou 2, dans lequel l'outil est équipé d'un élément formant rouleau (22) prévu sur le deuxième bras de commande (17) afin que celui-ci roule le long du mandrin (30) lorsque le deuxième bras de commande (17) est activé.

    insérer une extrémité de tuyau en acier inoxydable dans des mâchoires de serrage de l'outil à main ;
    serrer l'extrémité de tuyau entre ces mâchoires de serrage ;
    faire fonctionner les moyens de commande de telle sorte que le mandrin se déplace par rapport au dispositif de serrage, ce qui fait pénétrer de force le mandrin dans l'extrémité du tuyau en acier, créant ainsi un élargissement.
