Patent ID: 8453488

Claim:
An apparatus for bending a resilient tab, comprising: a chassis for supporting the resilient tab; a securing element for fixing a base end of the resilient tab; and a sliding element for bending a free distal end of the resilient tab, the sliding element being movable relative to the securing element, the sliding element comprising: a base; a pressing element attached to the base, the pressing being movable relative to the base along a first direction, and the first direction being inclined to a horizontal direction; and a bending element attached to the base, the bending element being movable relative to the base along a second direction; wherein the bending element is pivotably connected to the pressing element; and wherein as the sliding element move towards the securing element, the pressing element is pressed by the securing element to move relative to the bending element and drives the bending element to raise, for bending the free distal end of the resilient tab upwardly.
