The straightening jaw comprises a cubical chuck with a plane face end. The face end has an intake element and an exit element of a straightening groove. Between them is an opening arranged perpendicular to the face end. A straightening insert made of hard metal is inserted into the opening loosely but insured against twisting. On the face end, the straightening insert has a of saddle-shaped straightening indentation that connects the intake and exit elements. Because of this structure, long serv...

Apparatus for straightening elongate material, such as wire, has a rotary member which includes an internal passage through which the material is passed. Guide means in the rotary member guide the material through the passage and include deflection means for deflecting, and thus flexing, the material as it passes through the rotary member. The deflection means is so shaped as to cause the path taken by the material to have a first, curved portion which is directed away from the axis followed by ...

The invention concerns a straightening beam for an automotive bodyshell straightening jig, said straightening beam comprising a vertical beam (1), which is sideways rotatable attached to a beam base (11), which is detachably mountable to the frame of the automotive bodyshell straightening jig, and the beam further incorporating guidance means (2) for guiding a pulling tool member (3) attachable to the automotive bodyshell and for adjusting the position of the pulling tool member. With prior-art ...

A straightening system has a handle formed of a rigid material. The handle has a gripping portion in a generally cylindrical configuration adapted to be held by a hand of a user and a support portion in a generally cylindrical configuration extending at right angles from a central extent of the gripping portion. The support portion terminates in a flat region remote from the gripping portion. A pin assembly couples an object to a wall to insure proper positioning and retention of the proper posi...

Straightening apparatus with means for rotating an elongate work element and advancing the same along its longitudinal axis. A bending station is provided in the apparatus which bends the rotating work element when such is advanced therethrough. The bending station includes infeed and outfeed parts mounted for relative universal movement on a central confining member. A tapered work element is confined within a sheathing device to produce an assembly of uniform diameter for processing by the app...

An angled member includes a rod portion, for exerting a force against a leaning wall, and a cross piece, linked to one end of the rod, against which cross piece an adjustable jack acts; the other end of the rod is linked, via a connector, to a pin which is insertable within the wall or the wall's foundation, preferably the foundation, the connector passing under the foundation to connect the pin and the angle rod; roller member movably positioned intermediate the angle rod and the foundation.

An apparatus for bending components into exact desired shapes, particularly for straightening bent bolts, crank shafts and the like metal components or work pieces, has an upright frame carrying replaceable fixtures sized and shaped for securing one end of a work piece and tiltably suspending an elongated socket member for receiving the other end of the work piece. An upright straightening arm or lever is fulcrumed on the frame through a ball and socket joint and linked to the socket member for ...

A straightening apparatus is constituted by a diffuser connected to an inflow pipe having a rectangular section to form an enlarged channel, and eight straightening vanes arranged inside the diffuser. The diffuser has a rectangular sectional surface, and is formed to increase its sectional area from a channel inlet to an outlet. Each straightening vane is arranged to set its surface along the flow direction. Instead of completely partitioning the channel by one straightening vane, the straighten...

A roll configuration for use in a roll type straightener including a concave surface of revolution formed on a roll for line contact of the roll with a cylindrical workpiece wherein the throat of the surface of revolution is offset longitudinally from the axial midpoint of the surface of revolution whereby a pair of such rolls may be employed in mutually-aligned or non-offset relationship with respect to the cylindrical workpiece axis to provide lateral restraint of such a workpiece being subjec...

In order to increase output of pipe straightening devices, there is provided a driving unit between a preparatory station for the pipes and a feeding station which advances the pipes from the preparatory station in axial direction one after the other in the feeding station. The feeding station includes a succession of rotation symmetrical guiding elements supported for rotation about axes which extend parallel to the feeding path for the pipes. The guiding bodies prevent striking of unbalanced p...
