LOW-DIAMETER METAL PIPE BENDING MACHINE ARRANGED IN PARTICULAR FOR PERFORMING TWO SUCCESSIVE BENDS DURING THE SAME OPERATION

摘要

A small-diameter metallic conduit bending machine comprises a stationary frame with a guide surface, a bending member for pressing a metallic conduit against the stationary frame, and an actuator for moving the bending member via a lever. One end of the lever supporting the bending member is pivoted to the stationary frame at a position lying substantially on the axial center line of the metallic conduit within a central portion of a bend section where the metallic conduit is bent so as to lie along the guide surface of the stationary frame. Thus, the metallic conduit can be readily inserted between the guide surface and the bending member, and two successive bending works can be completed through one action.
