Abstract

A swage tool includes a first die coupled to a portion of a first die block and a second die coupled to a portion of a second die block. A cylinder moves the second die toward the first die. The first die block rotates about a longitudinal axis of the first die block.

Claims (43)

1. A swage tool, comprising:

a first die block;

a second die block;

a first die coupled to a portion of the first die block;

a second die coupled to a portion of the second die block; and

a cylinder that moves the second die toward the first die along a first axis, wherein

the first die block rotates about a longitudinal axis of the first die block, and

the longitudinal axis is perpendicular to and intersects the first axis.

2. The swage tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first arm and a second arm coupling the first die block to the cylinder; and

a set of pins inserted though the cylinder and the second arm to couple the first die block to the cylinder.

3. The swage tool according to claim 2 , wherein the first arm is coupled to the second arm via the first die block.

4. The swage tool according to claim 2 , wherein the second arm rotates about the longitudinal axis of the first die block.

5. The swage tool according to claim 4 , wherein the first die block and the second arm rotate independently.

6. The swage tool according to claim 2 , wherein a main pin is provided through the first arm, the second arm and the first die block.

7. The swage tool according to claim 2 , wherein the first arm and the second arm include a ball detent and spring.

8. The swage tool according to claim 7 , wherein the first die block includes a pair of grooves corresponding to the ball detent.

9. The swage tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first die block includes a main pin inserted through a cylindrical portion.

10. The swage tool according to claim 1 , wherein a piston of the cylinder is connected to a connecting portion of the second die.

11. A swage tool, comprising:

a first die block;

a second die block;

a first die coupled to a portion of the first die block;

a second die coupled to a portion of the second die block;

a cylinder that moves the second die toward the first die,

wherein the first die block rotates about a longitudinal axis of the first die block;

a first arm and a second arm coupling the first die block to the cylinder; and

a set of pins inserted though the cylinder and the second arm to couple the first die block to the cylinder.

12. The swage tool according to claim 11 , wherein the first arm is coupled to the second arm via the first die block.

13. The swage tool according to claim 11 , wherein the second arm rotates about the longitudinal axis of the first die block.

14. The swage tool according to claim 13 , wherein the first die block and the second arm rotate independently.

15. The swage tool according to claim 11 , wherein a main pin is provided through the first arm, the second arm and the first die block.

16. The swage tool according to claim 11 , wherein the first die block includes a main pin inserted through a cylindrical portion.

17. The swage tool according to claim 11 , wherein the first arm and the second arm include a ball detent and spring.

18. The swage tool according to claim 17 , wherein the first die block includes a pair of grooves corresponding to the ball detent.

19. The swage tool according to claim 11 , wherein a piston of the cylinder is connected to a connecting portion of the second die.

20. A swage tool, comprising:

a first die block;

a second die block;

a first die coupled to a portion of the first die block;

a second die coupled to a portion of the second die block;

a cylinder that moves the second die toward the first die,

wherein the first die block rotates about a longitudinal axis of the first die block and the first die block includes a main pin inserted through a cylindrical portion.
