摘要

A pipe bending jig for producing selected patterns of pipe has the pipe held horizontally between a fixed grip and a movable grip. Both grips are mounted on a base support frame, with the movable grip sliding along the base frame. The movable grip has the pipe set through a vertical rotating plate and to a bending head on an extension arm. The relative settings of the plate and bending head combined with the movement of the grip, controls the bent shape of the pipe. The jig design is such that the full length of the pipe can be bent, with a minimum of cutaway loss.
