Modified boiler wall tube tool

Abstract

A boiler wall tube tool has a first clamp member positioned about one side of the boiler wall and a second clamp member positioned about the opposite side of the boiler wall. The first clamp member has a recess or recesses, each recess receiving one of the tubes therein. The second clamp member has a radius or radiuses abutting against the opposite side of a tube or the tubes. The first clamp member and the second clamp member are coupled to one another about the tube or tubes through slots formed in the first clamp member and the second clamp member.

1 . A boiler wall tube tool comprising:
 a first clamp member having a pair of recesses engaging a pair of boiler wall tubes and a pair of recesses formed in the sides of the first clamp member providing access to the periphery of the boiler wall tubes;   a second clamp member having a first radius opposite to a second radius, the radiuses having different dimensions; and   means for securing the first clamp member and the second clamp member to the boiler wall tubes.   
   
   
       2 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein the first clamp member and the second clamp member each have a slot formed for receiving means therethrough for securing the first clamp member and the second clamp member to the boiler wall tubes. 
   
   
       3 . The tool of  claim 2 , wherein said securing means comprises a threaded bolt and a nut, the bolt inserted through the slots and the nut secured to the free end of the bolt projecting from the rear of one of the slots. 
   
   
       4 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein the second clamp member is reversible. 
   
   
       5 . A boiler wall tube tool comprising:
 a first clamp member having a recess engaging a boiler wall tube, and a pair of recesses formed in the sides of the first clamp member providing access to the periphery of the boiler wall tubes;   a second clamp member and a third clamp member, each one of the second clamp member and the third clamp member having a first radius opposite to a second radius, and the radiuses having different dimensions;   means for securing the first clamp member to one side of the boiler wall tubes and securing the second clamp member and the third clamp member to the opposite side of the boiler wall tubes.   
   
   
       6 . The tool of  claim 5 , wherein the first clamp member having a pair of slots formed for receiving a plurality of means, the second clamp member and the third clamp member each having a slot formed for receiving one of the plurality of means therethrough for securing the first clamp member to one side of the boiler wall tubes and securing the second clamp member and the third clamp member to the opposite side of the boiler wall tubes. 
   
   
       7 . The tool of  claim 6 , wherein one of the plurality of means comprises a thread bolt and a nut, the bolt inserted through the slots and the nut secured to the free end of the bolt projecting from the rear of one of the slots. 
   
   
       8 . The tool of  claim 5 , wherein each of the second clamp member and the third clamp member is reversible. 
   
   
       9 . A boiler wall tube tool comprising:
 a first clamp member having a front and a rear;   a first pair of recesses formed at the front of the first clamp member, wherein   each recess comprises an inner inclined surface, an outer inclined surface and a flat surface intermediately disposed between the inner inclined surface and the outer inclined surface;   a pair of recesses formed in the sides of the first clamp member providing access to the periphery of at least one boiler wall tube;   a second clamp member having a first radius opposite to a second radius and a width intermediately disposed between the first radius and the second radius, the radiuses having different dimensions; and   means for securing the first clamp member and the second clamp member about a boiler wall.
