Device for bending a thread-like material, for instance a tube, with different angles and orientations, in particular for exhaust pipes and manifolds for cars, provided with at least two pairs of clamping jaws hooked to a rotary device.

A method of manufacturing a hollow stabilizer includes a forming step of subjecting an element pipe to a bending process, to form a product shape including bent portions, and a quenching step of quenching the element pipe subjected to the bending process. In the quenching step, a cooling process is performed by immersing the element pipe made of steel in coolant and by spraying the coolant to an outer surface of the bent portion.

An automated bender and its method of operation according to some embodiments of the disclosure is provided. The automated bender includes a carousel which has all of the necessary components for bending a variety of conduit sizes provided thereon. The carousel can be rotated to a desired bending position to bend a particular type of conduit. A straight workpiece is fed into the automated bender and a bent workpiece, which may have multiple bends therein, is output from the automated bender. This bending process is performed without manual intervention. Software for achieving same is provided.

A retention ring for use with a recliner assembly is provided. The retention ring may be a metal member bent into an annular shape. The metal member may have a first end and a second end that are connected to one another to form a band that defines an inner diameter that may be configured to receive a recliner gear set.

A method for producing an arm structure in which the arm structure is produced by: forming an arm precursor member having an external shape of the arm structure by, in a state in which a die is closed with a metal pipe member being disposed in a cavity thereof, pressurizing the pipe member with liquid supplied to an inside thereof to cause an external surface of the thus expanded pipe member to be pressed against an inner surface of the cavity; and forming a flange portion to be attached to a driven body by machining at least an end of the formed arm precursor member.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide an elbow-shaped duct manufacturing apparatus in which the height of a forming section is easily adjusted as a duct vane forming part has an up and down detachable structure.

A surgical clip for a surgical clip applicator includes at least one pair of clip arms. Each clip arm has a distal end and a proximal end. The two clip arms are connected to each other at the proximal ends of the clip arms and form a clip throat. A tangent angle between a tangent to a neutral fiber of a clip arm and a perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the clip increases over the entire length of the clip arm substantially continuously.
