Abstract

A reaming device for reaming a pipe, which may have electrical wires passed therethrough, is attachable to a power tool, has at least one reaming blade thereon, and is adapted to receive at least one driving bit.

Claims

1. A device for reaming a pipe comprising:

(a) a body supporting a reaming blade in order to form the device;

(b) the reaming blade being secured to the body;

(c) a power tool receiver being situated at a first end of the body;

(d) a bit receiver being situated at a second end of the body;

(e) the first end of the body being oppositely disposed from the second end of the body;

(f) the body including a blade slot;

(g) the reaming blade being received in the blade slot and secured to the body;

(h) at least one fastening means securing the reaming blade in the blade slot;

(i) the bit receiver for engaging a driving bit and including a bit sleeve positioned around the bit and receiver; and

(j) the bit sleeve and bit receiver being adapted to guidedly drive a screw.

2. The device of claim 1 further comprising:

(a) the body having a first step, a second step, and a third step;

(b) the first step, the second step, and the third step each being adapted to a different diameter of the pipe; and

(c) the reaming blade being adapted to ream the different diameter of the pipe.

3. The device of claim 2 further comprising:

(a) the reaming blade having a first blade, a second blade, and a third blade;

(b) the first blade cooperating with the first step;

(c) the second blade cooperating with the second step;

(d) the third blade cooperating with the third step;

(e) the first blade being adapted to ream a largest diameter of the pipe;

(f) the second blade being adapted to ream a larger diameter of the pipe; and

(g) the third blade being adapted to ream a large diameter of the pipe.

4. The device of claim 3 further comprising:

(a) the at least one fastening means being at least one fastener selected from the group consisting of a lock pin and an Allen screw;

(b) the bit receiver accepting a bit selected from the group consisting of an Allen bit, a Phillips bit, a torque bit, a flat bit and a socket bit.

5. The device of claim 4 further comprising:

(a) the body being cylindrical in shape;

(b) the third step being adjacent to the bit receiver; and

(c) the first step being adjacent to the power tool receiver.

6. The device of claim 5 further comprising:

(a) the bit receiver including a magnetic base in order to hold the bit therein;

(b) the fastener including the lock pin mounted in the first step; and

(c) the fastener including the Allen screw mounted in the second step.

7. The device of claim 6 further comprising:

(a) a safety shield being mounted on the device; and

(b) the safety shield being adapted to protect a user from the reaming blade.

8. The device of claim 7 further comprising:

(a) the safety shield having a shield base and a shield side;

(b) the shield base including a base aperture to receive the device; and

(c) the shield side and the shield base being in a right angle relationship.

9. The device of claim 8 further comprising the shield side being a cylinder.

10. The device of claim 7 further comprising:

(a) the safety shield having a shield base and a shield side;

(b) the shield base including a base aperture to receive the device; and

(c) the shield side and the shield side being in an obtuse angle relationship.

11. The device of claim 10 further comprising the shield side being a cylinder.

12. A device for reaming a pipe comprising:

(a) a body supporting a reaming blade in order to form the device;

(b) the reaming blade being secured to the body;

(c) a power tool receiver being situated at a first end of the body;

(d) a bit receiver being situated at a second end of the body;

(e) a safety shield covering the body;

(f) the first end of the body being oppositely disposed from the second end of the body

(g) the body including a blade slot;

(h) the reaming blade being received in the blade slot;

(i) at least one fastening means securing the reaming blade in the blade slot;

(i) the bit receiver for engaging a driving bit and including a bit sleeve positioned around the bit and receiver;

(k) the bit sleeve and bit receiver being adapted to guidedly drive a screw;

(l) the body having a first step, a second step, and a third step;

(m) the first step, the second step, and the third step each being adapted to a different diameter of the pipe; and

(n) the reaming blade being adapted to ream the different diameter of the pipe.

13. The device of claim 12 further comprising:

(a) the reaming blade having a first blade, a second blade, and a third blade;

(b) the first blade cooperating with the first step;

(c) the second blade cooperating with the second step;

(d) the third blade cooperating with the third step;

(e) the first blade being adapted to ream a largest diameter of the pipe;

(f) the second blade being adapted to ream a larger diameter of the pipe;

(g) the third blade being adapted to ream a large diameter of the pipe;

(h) the at least one fastening means being at least one fastener selected from the group consisting of a lock pin and an Allen screw;

(i) the bit receiver accepting a bit selected from the group consisting of an Allen bit, a Phillips bit, a torque bit, a flat bit and a socket bit;

(j) the body being cylindrical in shape;

(k) the third step being adjacent to the bit receiver;

(l) the first step being adjacent to the power tool receiver; and

(m) the first blade, the second blade and the third blade being adapted to render an end of a pipe smooth.

14. The device of claim 13 further comprising:

(a) the bit receiver including a magnetic base in order to hold the bit therein;

(b) the fastener including the lock pin mounted in the first step;

(c) the fastener including the Allen screw mounted in the second step; and
