WERKZEUG ZUM ENTFERNEN EINER VENTILANORDNUNG

摘要

There is disclosed a tool ( 50 ) for extracting a valve assembly ( 16 ) from a container ( 10 ). The tool preferably had three gripper ring segments ( 52 ) adapted to move between a closed ring engaging position and a non-engaging position with the valve assembly ( 16 ). The tool has one lever assembly ( 60 ) for each gripper ring segment. Each lever assembly has a lever having a first end portion ( 64 ) connected with a corresponding one of the ring segments ( 52 ) to move the corresponding ring segment between the engaging and non-engaging positions with the valve assembly. The tool has an actuation mechanism ( 90 ) connected with the levers to move the levers in synchronism and thereby move the gripper ring segments into engagement with the valve assembly. The actuator pulls the valve assembly from the container via the levers and gripper ring segments with the gripper ring segments in the engaging position.
