    Abstract: A pipe bending machine has a beam mounted in see-saw pivotal relation on a fulcrum and spaced apart cradles support the pipe. An actuator initially drives the second cradle and the beam apart to pivot the pipe about the first cradle until the pipe is in contact with the die and thereafter drives the beam away from the second cradle to bend the pipe against the die. The mechanical advantage of the levered operation requires only a single actuator motion to bend the pipe. An external mandrel allows the pipe to be incrementally fed through the bending machine and secures the pipe against cross-sectional distortion during the bending process.

    Abstract: A mandrel assembly is provided for insertion into a hollow tube to support the interior walls of the tube during bending of the tube in a tube bending apparatus. The mandrel assembly includes at least one mandrel segment that is adapted for positioning within the tube and has an exterior support surface for supporting the interior walls of the tube during bending. The mandrel segment is anchored at a fixed axial location within the tube by an anchoring device that is radially expandable and retractable between an expanded condition in which an anchor shoe is engaged with the interior wall of the tube and a retracted condition in which the anchor shoe is loose within the tube. A mandrel support rod is attached to the anchoring device for inserting and withdrawing the anchoring device into the tube when the anchor shoe is retracted.

The mandrel comprises a plurality of plugs in the form of discs and a through-hole is created substantially in the center of each plug. A flexible member is inserted through the through-holes of the respective plugs. One end of the flexible member is fixed to a shank so that the plugs are connected to the shank in series. Each plug is provided with a flat slant surface that descends from about the center of the plug toward the outer periphery of the plug. A lock hole is formed in parallel to the through hole in each plug and a flexible lock member, one end of which is fixed to the shank, is passed through the lock holes of the respective plugs.
