Abstract
A mounting structure for a collet crimping machine is disclosed which permits the machine to be selectively pivoted from between vertical and horizontal positions as desired for use. A pivotable mounting bracket includes a flat base plate having a pair of upstanding brackets secured thereto. An arm is pivotably connected to each of the brackets. The ends of the arms are connected to the bottom of the collet crimping machine, permitting the machine to be pivoted between vertical and horizontal positions. A piston and cylinder assembly may be connected between the base plate and the collet crimping machine. The piston and cylinder assembly may function similar to a shock absorber, so as to cushion the movement of the machine as it is pivoted. Alternatively, the piston and cylinder assembly may be connected to a source of pressurized fluid so as to selectively move the machine between the vertical and horizontal positions.
