ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a pneumatically powered tool for expanding elastic rings. The expander includes four prongs which in use are passed through a ring and forced apart by a pneumatic ram to stretch the ring into a square by a reverse cam action of a pneumatic ram thereby opening two jaws which each carry one prong. The second pair of prongs are carried by two arms each linked to a jaw so as to open and close with the jaws. The arms are also directly coupled to the ram so that when it acts to open the jaws it also slides the arms longitudinally along the jaws so that the arm prongs are forced longitudinally apart from the corresponding jaw prongs.
When a double acting pneumatic ram is used a tool mounted two-section two-way rocker valve directs compressed air to the appropriate side of the ram piston and allows air to be exhausted from the opposite side.
