A wiring member includes a laminated flat conductor and an insulating layer provided around the laminated flat conductor. The laminated flat conductor includes a plurality of flat conductors laid on each other in a thickness direction of the laminated flat conductor, and insulating sheet members each of which is interposed between and electrically insulate adjacent ones of the plurality of flat conductors.

A machine for bending a thread-like material such as a pipe, a section iron, a bar, or the like, briefly a pipe, provided with a system for simultaneously loading a pipe to be bent and unloading another, already bent pipe, comprising a vertical hinge provided with a bending head provided with a motor for driving the bending head into rotation about an axis orthogonal to the hinge.

A conduit bender to assist with the bending of a conduit includes a lever defining a longitudinal axis and having a free end and a fixed end, a head assembly configured to receive a conduit to be bent, a rotary assembly operably coupling the fixed end of the lever to the head assembly such that the lever is pivotable relative to the head to a position corresponding to desired bend angle, and a level disposed at the free end of the rotary lever and aligned on the longitudinal axis such that the level indicates a level condition when a conduit is bent to the desired bend angle.

An apparatus for bending a metal work piece, the apparatus including a press support frame and a bending anvil disposed on the press support frame. A clamp press can be mounted to the press support frame, the clamp press positioned to selectively clamp the work piece over the bending anvil when the work piece is positioned on the bending anvil. A bending press unit can be mounted to the press support frame, the bending press unit including a bending roller oriented to engage the work piece during a bending operation when the work piece is clamped over the bending anvil. The bending press unit is operable to move the bending roller with respect to the press support frame in a first direction and a second direction, the first direction being substantially perpendicular to the second direction. A method of bending a metal work piece with the bending apparatus.
