Abstract
A device or tool is disclosed for assembling the hose and fitting of hose assemblies used in automotive air conditioning systems. The device comprises means for supporting the hose and fitting in spaced axial alignment with each other, and means including a handle and linkage responsive to movement of the handle for causing toothed rolls to engage diametrically opposite sides of the hose and force the hose over the end portion of the fitting. The toothed rolls are mounted eccentrically of studs on the handle and linkage, so as to vary the spacing between the rolls to accommodate therebetween hoses of different diameter.
