PEX Expanding Tool - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18741289 titled 'PEX Expanding Tool
The abstract of the patent application describes a method of operating an expanding tool by advancing a ram a first distance to rotate an expander head in a first rotational direction and then advancing the ram a second distance to expand head segments of the expander head radially.
- Simplified Explanation:
- Advancing a ram to rotate the expander head in one direction. - Advancing the ram further to expand the head segments radially.
Key Features and Innovation: - Sequential advancement of the ram for rotation and radial expansion. - Controlled expansion of head segments for precise operation.
Potential Applications: - Metalworking industries for tube expansion. - Construction for pipe fitting applications.
Problems Solved: - Precision radial expansion of head segments. - Controlled tool operation for consistent results.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in tube and pipe fitting processes. - Enhanced precision and control in expanding operations.
Commercial Applications: - "Expanding Tool for Industrial Applications": Potential use in manufacturing and construction industries for tube and pipe fitting processes.
Prior Art: - Research existing expanding tools and methods in metalworking and construction industries.
