Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rotary pipe sizing tool, according to the preamble of claim 1, which is driven by a power to expand and shrink an end of a pipe.
- a conventional pipe sizing toll is applied to expand and shrink an end of a pipe, so that the expanded or shrunk pipe could be connected to the other pipe.

Theengaging block 54 could be a round member, or any other suitable appearances. - As shown in
FIGS. 6 and7 , thetube 60 is connected or coupled to an end of thedriving portion 14, and the drivingaxle 16 passes through thetube 60 to engage theterminal 20. Themain member 10 and theclamping device 30 are connected together by the engagement of theengaging block 54 and the recess while the engaging block has a portion passing through thebore 56. Theneck portion 62 engages theslot 58 to be abutted against the elastic positioning set 64. As a result, the engagingblock 54 is free to rotate relative to therecess 52, and theneck portion 62 is free to rotate relative to theslot 58. - The engaging
block 54 has a portion extending out of the bore 56 (FIG. 6 ) for engagement to prevent theclamping device 30 from escaping along the axial direction of the drivingaxle 16. Theneck portion 62 engages theslot 58, and the elastic positioning set 64 urges theneck portion 62, so that theclamping device 30 is unable to be moved relative to themain member 10 unless a user exerts a force greater than the elastic positioning set 64 to separate theclamping device 30 from themain member 10 via the openingend 582. Besides, the arrangement of the elastic positioning set 64 and theneck portion 62 allows theclamping device 30 to rotate freely relative to themain member 10. - In conclusion, the rotating
mechanism 50 or the arrangement of therotating mechanism 50 between the clampingdevice 30 and themain member 10 makes theclamping device 30 rotates freely relative to themain member 10 through the engagement of theneck portion 62 and theslot 58, so that the angle of theclamping device 30 is adjustable. - The engaging
block 54 has a portion out of thebore 56 could separate theclamping device 30 from themain member 10 along the axial direction of the drivingaxle 16. The arrangement and relative position of the elastic positioning set 64 and theneck portion 62 allows theclamping device 30 to rotate freely relative to themain member 10. As a result, the clampingdevice 30 is connected to themain member 10 always no matter the angle of theclamping device 30 is. - Since an angle is formed between the
handle 122 and theoperating device 124 of the operatingportion 12 of themain member 10, and theclamping device 30 rotates freely relative to themain member 10, the pipe sizing toll of the present invention is able to be operated in a narrow space or a space hard to reach. - The
rotating mechanism 50 of the present preferred embodiment is provided with the engagement of theneck portion 62 and theslot 58 and the engagement of the engagingblock 54 and therecess 52. It further includes theslot 58 and therecess 52 provided on thebase 34, and the engagingblock 54 and theneck portion 62 formed on thetube 60. An alternate design could have theclamping device 30 connected to the drivingportion 14, or provides a shaft and a hub to make theclamping device 30 rotate freely relative to themain member 10. Another alternate design is that theclamping device 30 is fitted to the drivingaxle 16 or the driving 14 for free rotation. - It must be pointed out that the embodiments described above are only some preferred embodiments of the present invention.
