Embodiments of the invention provide a ram guide for a crimping tool. The crimping tool includes a crimping head and a ram head. The ram guide includes a track and slot. The ram guide is configured to guide the ram head within a crimp portion of the crimping head to axially align the ram head with the crimping head.

A working head (1) for a compression or cutting tool (100) comprises a connecting portion (3) for a removable connection of the working head (1) with an actuation part (2) of the tool (100), two jaws (4) movable between an open position and a closed position to perform the compression or cutting, and a local storage (6) configured for storing one or more cumulative data representative of a stress history of the jaws (4), wherein the local storage (6) is fixed to the working head (1).

A faucet cartridge removal tool that limits lateral movement of the tool and faucet cartridge during faucet cartridge removal.

A liquid crystal display apparatus is provided. The liquid crystal display apparatus comprises a backplane having a second step portion and a first step portion used for supporting a liquid crystal panel, that is, the assembly of optical parts such as a light homogenizing element and an optical film to the liquid crystal panel is implemented in the present application via the backplane without a middle frame.

A working head for a hydraulic power tool including a head frame and a first moveable die head configured to move along the working head frame. The first moveable die head configured to receive a first moveable die comprising a first body length. A second die head is adapted to receive a second die comprising a second body length. The first body length of the moveable die is different from the second body length of the stationary die.

A joint dismounting tool is provided, including a frame body and a pulling assembly. The frame body includes a base portion and two arm portions, and the two arm portions are disposed on the base portion. The pulling assembly includes a driving rod and a cup member, the driving rod is movably disposed on the base portion, the cup member is connected to the driving rod and swingable relative to the axis, and the cup member is between the two arm portions.

A gear puller assembly includes a yoke that defines a plurality of puller arm receiving interfaces, a threaded jack shaft threadably received through the yoke and having a pressing surface on an end thereof, and a plurality of puller arms, wherein each respective puller arm is configured for being selectively engageable with a respective puller arm interface of the yoke. A detent assembly extends from the yoke through each of the puller arm receiving interfaces, each of the detent assemblies configured for engagement with respective puller arms to cause the puller arm to maintain a locked position defined at an angle between the respective puller arms and the yoke.

A method for disassembling a pipe joint is provided. A radially expandable sleeve positioned on a shaft is inserted into a distal open end of a pipe of the pipe joint. A sleeve nut on a threaded portion of the shaft is tightened against the sleeve to urge the sleeve to longitudinally slide along a tapered distal end of the shaft in a distal direction. The sleeve radially expands as the sleeve slides in the distal direction along the tapered distal end of the shaft. The sleeve is radially expanded until an interference fit is formed between the sleeve and the pipe. A force is then exerted upon the shaft to urge the shaft in a proximal direction and remove the pipe from a pipe fitting of the pipe joint.

A removal tool for a filter insert of a liquid filter. The removal tool includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis. At a distal end, the body includes a first arm and a second arm, the two arms extending essentially in parallel to the longitudinal axis and being spaced apart from one another. The two arms are elastically reversibly deflectable toward one another. A retaining element is situated at the first arm. In an open state of the retaining element, the two arms may be moved toward one another. In a closed state of the retaining element, the retaining element couples the two arms to one another and blocks a movement of the two arms toward one another.
