Abstract:
An electrically-powered bending apparatus comprising:an electric motor;a speed-reduction gear train connected to a rotary shaft of said electric motor for producing a reduced rotation;a gear casing accommodating said speed-reduction gear train;an output shaft driven by said speed-reduction gear train;a bending pin integrally formed with said output shaft in an offset relationship so as to be rotatable about said output shaft in accordance with the rotation of said output shaft;a ceiling plate provided on said gear casing;a cylindrical sleeve and a reaction force receiver fixed on said ceiling plate so as to form a passage along which a rod-like member is placeable and bent by said bending pin rotating about said output shaft; anda wall positioned substantially perpendicular to said ceiling plate to form a parallel and opposed relationship with a front surface of said reaction force receiver, thereby restricting the rod size of said rod-like member inserted between said cylindrical sleeve and said reaction force receiver.
