Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A hydraulic bending apparatus for bending elongated members, such as electrical cables or the like.
  • the bending apparatus includes a hydraulic cylinder having an extendable and a retractable ram.
  • a drive shoe is fixed on the cylinder ram and it is provided with a hook-shaped member for engaging an elongated member.
  • a rotating shoe is pivotally mounted on the drive shoe and it is also provided with a hook-shaped mem ber for engaging an elongated member.
  • Linkage means movably connects the rotating shoe to the actuating means, whereby when an elongated member is mounted between the drive shoe and rotating shoe and the actuating means ram is extended, the drive shoe is driven away from said actuating means and said rotating shoe is pivoted relative to the drive shoe to bend the elongated member.
  • This invention relates generally to an apparatus for bending elongated members, and more particularly, to a hydraulically actuated bender for bending electrical conductors.
  • Wire bending apparatuses have been provided heretofore. However, they have had inherent disadvantages, such as the disadvantage of having the strands of a cable spread sidewardly outward during bending of the cable. A further disadvantage of the prior art cable bending apparatuses is that they are complex and costly. Still another disadvantage of the prior art cable bending apparatuses is that they have removable or loose parts or shoes which are subject to being lost or mislaid, and which in use result in increased labor time and costs in operating such apparatuses. An example of such prior art cable bending apparatuses is disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,813,914. Accordingly, it is an important object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved cable bending apparatus which overcomes the aforedescribed disadvantages of the prior art cable bending apparatuses.
  • It is still another object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved cable bending apparatus which includes a hydraulic cylinder having an extendable and retractable ram on which is mounted a drive shoe having a hook-shaped portion for engaging the cable.
  • a rotating shoe having a hook-shaped portion for engaging the cable is pivotally mounted on the drive shoe.
  • a linkage means movably connects the rotating shoe to the hydraulic cylinder, whereby when a cable is mounted between the drive shoe and the rotating shoe and the hydraulic cylinder ram is extended, the drive shoe is driven away from the hydraulic cylinder, and said rotating shoe is pivoted relative to the drive shoe to bend the elongated member.
  • the drive shoe includes an arcuate bending guide around which the cable is bent during a bending operation, and the bending guide serves to prevent spreading of the strands of the cable during the bending operation.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a hydraulic cable bender made in accordance with the principles of the present invention, and showing the hydraulic cable bender in a position prior to bending an electrical conductor.
  • FIG. 2 is a bottom plan view of the hydraulic cable bender structure illustrated in FIG. 1, taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrows.
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the hydraulic cable bender of the present invention, and showing the hydraulic cable bender in a position after bending an electrical conductor.
  • FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the hydraulic cable bender structure illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 is a left side elevational view of the hydraulic cable bender structure illustrated in FIG. 1, taken along the line 55 thereof, and looking in the direction of the arrows.
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary, elevational section view of the hydraulic cable bender structure illustrated in FIG. 4, taken along the line 6-6 thereof, and looking in the direction of the arrows.
  • the numeral 10 generally designates an actuating means in the form of a hydraulic cylinder.

  • the cylinder has fixedly mounted on the front or right end thereof a cylinder pivot block, generally indicated by the numeral65.
  • the cylinder pivot block 65 has a longitudinal bore 66 formed therethrough.
  • the front or right end of the cylinder 10 is slidably mounted in the bore 66 and is secured therein by a suitable retainer ring 69.
  • a suitable 0-ring seal and back-up ring 67 and 68 are operatively mounted in an annular groove formed in the wall of the cylinder chamber 17 for sealing engagement with the cylinder end 24.
  • the pair of parallel links 13 provides a linkage means for movably connecting the rotating shoe 12 to the cylinder or actuating means 10.
  • a transverse link pin 72 is rotatably mounted through a bore that is formed by a partial bore 73 (FIG. 6) formed through the cylinder pivot block 65, and a partial bore 74 formed through the cylinder body 16 (FIG. 6).
  • the ends of the link pin 72 are received in transverse bores 75 formed in the rear ends of the links 13.
  • the rear ends of the links 13 are each secured by a suitable button-head screw 76 to its respective end of the link pin 72.

  • the ends of the link pin 78 extend through suitable bores 80 in the front ends of the links 13.
  • FIG. 4 The top view in FIG. 4 of the bending apparatus of the present invention shows that the outer end of the cable engaging hook 48 is formed perpendicular or square to the longitudinal axis of the hook 48, and that the inner end 81 is formed at an acute angle so that it obliquely angles or slants from the open side of the hook 48 transversely toward the closed side of the hook 48 and longitudinally inwardly.
  • the cable engaging hook 53 is formed with an outer end perpendicular or square to the longitudinal axis of the hook 53, and that the inner end 82 thereof is formed at an acute or oblique angle which extends or slants from the open side of the hook 53 transversely toward its closed end and longitudinally inward.
  • the shoes 11 and 12 are mounted on pivot pin 57 with the inner ends 81 and 82 on each of the shoes 11 and 12 respectively facing each other or in opposed relationship thereto. That is, the closed side of hook I 1 extends from one side of the bending apparatus, and the closed side of hook 12 extends from the opposite or other side of the bending apparatus.
  • the cable bending apparatus of the present invention is slipped onto an elongated member to be bent as, for example, a cable, by disposing the bending apparatus of the present invention in a position as viewed in FIG. 4.
  • the elongated member is moved down between the inner ends 81 and 82 of the shoes 1 l and 12 respectively and then under the hook engaging members 48 and 53 of the shoes 11 and 12 respectively.
  • the cable is inserted parallel to the inner ends 81 and 82 through the open sides of the hook members 48 and 53, turned against the closed sides of the hooks 11 and 12 to be disposed in axial alignment with the arcuate curved inner surfaces of said hook members and the longitudinal axis of the cylinder 10.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 10 is then actuated, whereby the cylinder ram 24 is moved forwardly or to the right as viewed in FIGS. 3 and 6, so as to pivot the rotating shoe 12 in a clockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 3.
  • the elongated member or cable disposed in the bending apparatus is engaged and held by the cable engaging hooks 48 and 53, and continued operation of the hydraulic cylinder 10 moves the rotatable shoe 12 to a desired degree of bend as, for example, in FIG. 3, whereby a bend greater than would have been formed on an elongated member held in the bending apparatus of the present invention.
  • a cable or other elongated member is bent around the bending guide or sheave-like member 50 which acts as a mandrel and prevents sideward spreading of the cable strands during a bending operation.
  • the movement of the cylinder ram 24 outwardly from the cylinder body 16 can be stopped at any point within the length of travel that the ram 24 is capable of making, so as to provide any degree of bend in a cable, between and the maximum bend position shown in FIG. 3 of 120.
  • the usual bend is about 90. Small cable, such as aluminum cable, tends to spring back more than copper cable, and accordingly, such cable must be overbent to obtain a 90 bend or whatever other degree of bend is desired.
  • the bending apparatus may be twisted sideways so as to move it out through the open sides of the cable engaging hooks 48 and 53, so as to permit the bending apparatus to be detached from the cable.
  • the bending apparatus may then be returned to the initial position shown in FIG. 1 by releasing the hydraulic pressure on the cylinder to permit the spring 28 to return the shoes 1 1 and 12 to their initial position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the present invention provides a hydraulic cable bending apparatus which is unitary in construction so as to eliminate removable or loose parts, such as bending shoes.
