A portable pneumatic rebar bending device (11) has a base portion (13), a pivoting portion (15), and a pneumatic cylinder (17) connecting and operable to pivot the pivoting portion (15) with respect to the base portion (13). The axis of pivot includes a radiused wheel (43) having a shallow "V" shaped slot about which the radius of curvature or the rebar (125) is formed. The radiused wheel (43) can be, where necessary, removed from the pivoting members (13, 15) where the required bend is so extreme that the device (11) would otherwise be trapped. A pair of handles (53, 55) facilitates manual positioning and carriage. A weak spring (not shown) acts to reset the pivoting member (15) with respect to the base member (13) once the pneumatically operated cylinder (17) is de-pressured. The weak spring prevents injury on closure. An adjustment is provided to enable a variety of sizes of rebar to be used with the device (11) of the present invention.

Dispositif (11) pneumatique mobile de cintrage de barres d'armature comportant une partie support (13), une partie pivotante (15) et un cylindre pneumatique (17) reliant la partie pivotante (15) à la partie support (13) et faisant pivoter la première par rapport à la seconde. L'axe du pivot comporte une roue arrondie (43) pourvue d'une encoche de faible profondeur en forme de V autour de laquelle sont formés le rayon de courbure ou la barre d'armature (125). La roue arrondie (43) peut être, si nécessaire, retirée des éléments pivotants (13, 15) lorsque le cintrage nécessaire est si extrême que le dispositif (11) serait sinon empêché de fonctionner. Une paire de poignées (53, 55) facilite le positionnement et le transport manuels. Un ressort faible (n'apparaissant pas sur la figure) agit de manière à remettre l'élément pivotant (15) en position initiale par rapport à l'élément support (13), une fois que le cylindre (17) à commande pneumatique n'est plus sous pression. Le ressort faible empêche de se blesser lors de la fermeture. Un ajustement est prévu pour permettre d'utiliser une variété de tailles de barres d'armature avec le dispositif (11) de la présente invention.
