Pivotal tool support for a pipe machining apparatus

摘要

In one aspect, a tool support for a pipe machining apparatus includes a support arm defining a groove therein and configured to support a tool, and a guide member at least partially positioned in the groove to allow movement of the support arm in a first direction and inhibit movement of the support arm in a second direction. In one aspect, a tool support includes a one-piece unitarily formed body member defining a cavity there through, and a tool support arm at least partially positioned in the cavity and configured to translate within the cavity. In one aspect, a tool support includes a first translating member configured to translate a tool toward and away from a pipe, and a second translating member configured to translate the tool toward and away from the pipe. The second translating member is coupled to and moveable relative to the first translating member.

主权项

1. A tool support for a pipe machining apparatus, the tool support comprising:
a support arm defining a groove therein and configured to support a tool; a guide member at least partially positioned in the groove to allow movement of the support arm in a first direction and inhibit movement of the support arm in a second direction; and a body member defining a cavity that includes a first section having a fixed size and a second section having an adjustable size, wherein the body member also defines a receptacle in communication with the first section of the cavity, wherein the support arm is positioned in the cavity and moveable relative to the body member in the first direction, and wherein the guide member is at least partially positioned in the receptacle and extends into the first section of the cavity to be at least partially positioned in the groove; wherein the body member includes an adjustable portion configured to adjust a size of the second section of the cavity, wherein the adjustable portion is moveable to provide a first size of the second section of the cavity, in which the adjustable portion engages the support arm to secure the support arm to the body member and inhibit movement of the support arm in the first direction, and a second size of the second section of the cavity, in which the support arm is moveable relative to the body member in the first direction, wherein the second size is larger than the first size.
