(57) @ The specification describes apparatus by which a sleeve-like fitting 1 may be swaged
on to a core 2. The apparatus includes six tools 21, each pivoted about an axis 22.
By swinging the tools 21, their forming faces 25 pass through a region of minimum
separation. The fitting 1 and core 2 move with the swinging of the tools 21 to be
gripped between the forming faces in the region of a minimum separation and so swaged.
A plate 31, moved by a piston and cylinder 29 effects simultaneous movement of the
fitting 1 and the tools 21. Springs 45 tend to restore the tools 21 after the swaging
operation.
