  • the connecting link is frictionally held in any one of an infinite number of positions relative to the axis of pivot 22 and to the axis of pivot 28 as desired by the user for selective retained positioning of the shoe 14 relative to the mandrel l 1.
  • tube T is restrained by hook 16 against movement during the bending operation.
  • Hook 16 is fixedly associated with mandrel 11 by a locking screw 33 and a pair of shoulders 34 and 35 engaging the opposite side wall faces 23 and 25 of the mandrel, as best seen in FIG. 6.
  • Hook 16 defines a tube receiving recess 36 having a height, as best seen in FIG. 1, substantially greater than the diameter of .tube T.
  • tube T may be inserted into hook recess 36 to extend through the space between shoe 14 and mandrel l1 radially outwardly of bend-start point 19 with the shoe swung to an outermost spaced position wherein link 20 is swung on pivot 22 to abut hook 16.
  • hook 16 functions to limit automatically the movement of the connecting means to the spaced position of FIG. 4.
  • handle 13 may be manipulated to swing the shoe in a counterclockwise direction on pivot 28 thereby to space the shoe tube-engaging portion 37 outwardly from the mandrel to readily accommodate the tube T therebetween.
  • the axis 38 of tube T is disposed in the plane of the center 39 of bending groove 18 when the tube is moved laterally fully into hook space 36.
  • Handle 13 is then swung on pivot 28 while maintaining link 20 against hook 16 by suitable manipulation of the handle from the position of FIG. 4 to the position of FIG. 5.
  • the swinging movement is continued until shoe surface 37 engages tube T swinging the tube T to a bend-start position wherein the tube extends axially perpendicularly to a line betweenbend-start point 19 and mandrel axis 17, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the tube is urged upwardly, as seen in FIG. 5, against book 16 and downwardly to bottom in the mandrel groove 18.
  • Shoe 14 is further provided with a stop 40 which engages the link 20 prior to the movement of the shoe surface 37 into parallel relationship with tube T whereby further swinging movement of handle 13 causes link 20 to swing on pivot 22 about axis 17 to the bend-start position shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1. In this position, link 20 extends substantially parallel to the line between bend-start point 19 and mandrel axis 17.
  • the mandrel is provided with a recessed portion 41 rearwardly of bend-start point 19.
  • the spacing of pivots 22 and 28 may be main tained relatively small, while yet permitting ready insertion and withdrawal of the tube relative to the tube bender.
  • Hook 16 may be provided with a slight rearward angle in recess 36, such as approximately 2 or 3, to cause the leading edge 42 thereof to bite slightly into the surface of tube T and effectively positively preclude axial movement of the tube during the bending operation.
  • the bending forces generated by shoe 14 against tube T are primarily inwardly toward the mandrel axis 17. However, frictional forces tend to move the tube axially during forming operations and are resisted by the hook as discussed above.
  • Bending of the tube is effected by further movement of handle 13 to swing the shoe on link 20 about mandrel axis 17in a clockwise direction seen in FIG. 1. During this operation stop remains in abutment with link 20 to maintain the shoe surface 37 substantially tangential to the radius of the mandrel groove about axis 17.
  • the user Upon completion of the desired bend, the user need merely swing handle 13 in a counterclockwise direction, as seen in FIG. 1, thereby disengaging stop 40 from link 20 and permitting the handle to be swung on pivots 28 and 22 back to the open position of FIG. 4.
  • the bent tube may be readily removed from the tube bender by a slight movement thereof outwardly from the mandrel groove and in a counterclockwise direction about axis 17 to clear the mandrel groove and hook with the portion of the tube extending rearwardly from bend start point 19 being arranged substantially as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 4 so as to pemiit ready lateral movement of the tube outwardly from the tube bender.
  • the invention comprehends an improved tube bender utilizing a recessed portion 41 of the mandrel in cooperation with a hook 16 fixedly associated with the mandrel and a shoe 14 movably associated with the mandrel to have selectively spaced association therewith and juxtaposed therewith.
  • the hook 16 is positively aligned with the mandrel groove by the shoulders 34 and 35 cooperating with the mandrel side faces thereby to provide a maintained retention of the tube against movement during the bending operation.
  • Hook 16 not only serves to retain the tube against movement but also functions as a stop for limiting the pivotal movement of the handle in'the open arrangement as shown in FIG. 4, and as a stop for limiting the swinging movement of the link 20 in the open arrangement.
  • the tube T may be readily inserted into the tube bender with an automatic sufficient clearance between the shoe 14 and mandrel being provided.
  • Relative movement between handles 12 and 13 is controlled by the friction springwashers, thereby facilitating manipulation of the handles and insertion and removal of the tube.
  • the shoe is mounted on the. connecting means in such a manner as to cause an automatic swinging of the tube to the bend start position of FIG. 1 perpendicular to the radial line between bend start point 19 and mandrel axis 17 for further facilitated bending of the tube.
  • the tube bender may be used as a hickey for effecting rough fast bends as by holding of the handles together in substantially parallel relationship to expose the hook and recessed mandrel portions for engagement with the tube to be so bent.
  • Tube bender 10 is extremely simple and economical of construction with a minimum of separate parts, while yet providing the improved facilitated tube bending operation discussed above.
