The present invention is a method and apparatus for forming wire loops using wire looping pliers. In one embodiment of the invention, the pair of wire pliers having a cylindrical jaw and a recessed jaw for accepting the cylindrical jaw allows the user of the tool to make symmetrical wire loops on a consistent basis. Additionally, the width of the recessed jaw can be set such that the user can use the recessed jaw to measure the distance from a particular point where the neck of the wire loop should be broken. The recessed surface of the recessed jaw and the cylindrical jaw mate together in such a manner as to provide uniform pressure around a significant portion of the loop so as to prevent marring of the surface of the wire.

The present invention provides a mandrel tool and method for more efficiently and consistently forming various shapes of material. In one embodiment of the invention, a pair of pliers having mandrel jaws that are shaped with a uniform cross sectional area throughout a length of the mandrel jaw is used to replace the traditional tapered mandrel. Because the mandrel jaws have a uniform cross sectional area, the wire, for example, can be wrapped multiple times around the mandrel jaw when it is desired to produce multiples of the same shape. For added versatility, the pliers can have opposing mandrel jaws, with different size cross sectional area.

A rotary cable arranging tool is disclosed. The rotary cable arranging tool is used for untwisting a first and a second cable. The rotary cable arranging tool includes a first annular structure, a first and a second assembly member, and a first and a second hole. The first and the second holes are assembled by the cooperation of the first and the second assemblies so as to be pressed to change a width of an inner diameter. When the first and second cables are in a twisted state, the first and second assemblies are counter-rotated together, so that the first and the second cables are untwisted and enter the first and second holes respectively. Then the first and second holes are tightly combined with the first and second cables, and the first and the second cable are pulled out to be straightened.

A precision configuration system includes a plier device having clasp members, a heat transfer clamp member, a bending force transducer, and a temperature controller. One clasp member has a single jaw tooth that contacts and heats a component, for example, a wire positioned by a component holder and accommodated within a receptacle defined between double jaw teeth of the other clasp member. The heat transfer clamp member includes a heating coil that generates and transfers heat to the single jaw tooth. The bending force transducer controls magnitude and direction of bending forces applied by the plier device to precision bend and reshape the component at one or more bending points on the component based on force commands received from a component configuration computer system. The temperature controller controls the generation and transfer of heat to the single jaw tooth to facilitate temperature controlled, precision bending and reshaping of the component.

To provide a guide wire shaping mold that reduces damage to a blood vessel by folding back a tip end of the guide wire and do not require heating treatment, and a guide wire shaping method using the guide wire shaping mold. A guide wire shaping mold configured to shaping by reducing an annular diameter of the guide wire in which a tip end is annularly arranged, the guide wire shaping mold includes a wire shaping portion configured such that an annular portion of the guide wire is arranged, and a wire drawing path formed in a passage way shape, communicating with the wire shaping portion, and configured to retract the guide wire in a linear direction and in a base end direction.

The present application relates to the technical field of circle-producing devices, and discloses a circle-producing plier. The circle-producing plier comprises: a first plier arm, wherein one end of the first plier arm is provided with a fixing plate, a plurality of molding columns of different diameters are connected on the fixing plate, a mounting plate is rotatably connected on each of the molding columns, a molding protrusion is connected on each mounting plate, and a molding gap for molding a wire is arranged between the molding protrusion and a corresponding molding column; and a second plier arm, wherein the second plier arm is rotatably connected to the first plier arm, the second plier arm is provided with a connecting part, the connecting part is configured to be rotatably switchable between an initial position and a molding position, the connecting part is in motion-transmission connection with a plurality of mounting plates through a motion-transmission assembly, and in a process of the connecting part rotating from the initial position to the molding position, the molding protrusion molds a wire located in the molding gap onto the corresponding molding column to form an O ring. The present application discloses a circle-producing plier which can improve working efficiency and bend a wire into O rings of various sizes.

A manual tool for expanding and manipulating steel cables of the clamp type including two symmetrical flat steel pieces assembled with a bolt, each of which has a semicircular head with three equidistant perforations from which emerge three tubular extensions or cylinders perpendicular to the surface of the semicircular head, heads which in closed clamp position form a complete circle with six equidistant tubular projections and a central hole, both extending in their handles to open and close and to be able to expand and manipulate steel cables composed of a steel core and six strands of coiled metal wires that wrap said steel core, which cable will be provided with a chain sling with hook and a steel socket that has bronze wedges inserted for its adjustment.

A bending tool for shortening the length of a wastegate actuator arm (or linkage) of a turbocharger system of an automobile by applying or otherwise creating a bend or dent in a wastegate actuator arm to repair a leaky wastegate, and a method of repairing a leaky wastegate valve of a turbocharger system of an automobile without disassembling or removing components of the turbocharger system.
