Embodiment Construction

[0022] Generally, the present subject matter provides support systems for tools, particularly for hand-held power drivers and geared thread forming devices. The support system typically includes a lower frame portion for contacting the work surface or the ground, a strut assembly releasably engageable with the lower Mounting device for one or more tools such as a forming device. When used with hand-held power drivers and geared thread forming devices, the support system maintains the power drivers and geared thread forming devices in a desired orientation with the pipe or workpiece. The support system is easily configurable between "stand alone" mode and "vehicle hitch" mode. In independent mode, the strut assembly is engaged with the lower frame section. The lower frame portion contacts the work surface or ground and stably supports the strut assembly engaged therewith. In freestanding mode, the support system is free standing and has no external anchors. In the vehicle h...

Abstract

A support system for use with one or more tools such as a handheld power drive and a geared threader is described. The support system includes a lower frame portion for contacting a work surface or floor, a mast assembly, releasable engagement provisions between the lower frame portion and the mast assembly, and mounting provisions on the mast for supporting one or more tools. The support system is configurable between a stand alone mode and a vehicle hitch mode.

Description

technical field [0001] This subject relates to support systems for tools, particularly hand-held power drivers and geared thread formers. The subject matter also relates to methods of forming threads on a workpiece using the support system. Background technique [0002] Workpieces such as pipes and pipes are often subjected to one or more operations that form threads on the ends of the workpiece. Various means for forming these threads are known. [0003] For applications where thread forming is performed, for example, on a job site or in a remote location, it may not be possible or desirable to transport a heavy and / or large thread forming machine to the job site or remote location. Accordingly, portable thread forming devices have been developed, or known thread forming devices have been adapted for easier transport and / or use on the job site. E.g, Type thread formers can be supported on sliding frames. However, this thread former weighs over 500 lbs. While transpor...
