Definitions

  • This invention is directed to metal working presses and is more particularly directed to a front to back shaft press of improved design and construction.
  • a so-called stream line appearance in which most of the working parts are concealed and wherein the press provides a smooth symmetrical appearance is a prerequisite of a commercially satisfactory machine at the present day.
  • the general object of our invention therefore has been to provide a press which combines unusual features of strength and flexibility with light weight and space conserving construction. Still another object of the invention has been to provide slide reciprocating mechanism, parts of which are readily removable to facilitate repairs and rebuilding. Still another object of the invention has been to provide a satisfactory lubrieating system in connection with the crown and reciprocating slide. A still further object has been to provide a crown construction which is cast in one piece and possesses greatstrength. A still further object of the invention has been to achieve a so-called streamlined appearance in which there are no unsatisfactory projecting parts.
  • a press of the general nature set out will preferably have on the exterior a generally boxlike appearance formed by smoothly merging the side frames, the base and the crown, which latter is of generally rectangular construction.
  • the crown is surmounted by a cover which is removable and which is provided with an air filter in the upper face thereof to filter air which is forced out of and drawn into the crown, due to reciprocation of the slide.
  • a semi-seal is established between the die slide and the crown to provide the sucking action above referred to.
  • the crown itself consists of a one-piece casting with two or more girders cast therein and extending from right to left of the press.
  • the right to left girders merge with a pair of front to back girders to form sides of the crown.
  • the crown is members extending downwardly to totally enclose all projections of gears and the like and to shed oil thrown thereon back into the slide.
  • the press is-of the type generally known as a front to back machine in which the main connection shaft'axis or axes extend from the front to the back of the press. These shafts are removable from the under side-to facilitate repairs and while the construction shown refers to a double crank press, it will be readily understood in the art that any construction from a single crank to a four-point press is within the scope of our present invention.
  • the crankshafts are formed in such a way that the main driving gears are staggered with respect to each other, as will be hereinafter apparent. Wider machines can be built with the -main driving gears in line with each other, if desired.
  • Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the press, with portions broken away to better illustrate the slide reciprocating mechanism and other features;

  • the gear 30 is mount- 7 and 6
  • Cover plates 63 and 64 are secured to the crown atthe front and rear of the press, and are effective to conceal as well as protect the operating mechanism. Means are also provided, in the form of plates 65, secured 'to the plates 63 and extending angularly thereto, for deflecting oil which drops from the operating mechanism of the press into the upper die slide 60.
  • knockout bars 61 Extending through slots 66 in the slide 56, and transversely of the press, as shown in Fig. 4, are knockout bars 61, which are operatively connected to knock-out pins 68 extending downwardly through the slide and the upper die (not shown). 0n the down stroke of the slide the bars are in the position shown in the dotted line position in Fig. 4. In the event that the work sticks to the upper die, it will be stripped from ends with a compressed air reservoir .bearing caps "This saves a considerable such die at the conclusion of the up stroke of the v slide, due to the engagement of the bars 61, when in the position shown in dotted lines, by screws 69, which are mounted on the rear surfaces of the plates 63 and 64 and project beyond the lower edges of the latter. The screws 69 are vertically adjustable, and are adapted to be locked in adjusted position by meansof locknuts 10.
  • Means are also provided for counterbalancing the upper die slide, so as to reduce, as far as is practicable, the energy required of the cranks in elevating the slide at the conclusion of the pressure or work stroke.
  • Such-means is best illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3, and comprises a pair of cylinders II and 12, provided with flanges 13 whereby the cylinders are rigidly secured to the web 49 of the slide 50, and covers", through which conduits 15 extend, such conduits being rigidly secured to the crown in the manner shown in Fig. 3.
  • Each of the conduits 15 has secured to its lower end a piston 16 which forms an airtight seal with the cylinder wall, and is also provided with perforations 11 which communicate the conduits with the interior of the cylinder.
  • the conduits 15 are connected at their upper (not shown), which may be mounted 'within the crown.
  • a removable cover 18 mounted on the crown is a removable cover 18, such cover serving only to enclose and protect portions of the slide actuating mechanism, but being effective also to shed oil back into the crown, leakage of oil at the joint between the crown and cover being prevented by means of a flange 19 extending around the crown adjacent the cover.
  • a filter mat 18a (Fig. 1). This mat permits passage of air therethrough, but acts to remove impurities and the like to keep the parts inside of the crown free from extraneous dirt.
  • oil from within the slide - is pumped through an oil filter to the various bearings and other points at which lubrication is required. More oil is pumped than required, part going to lubricate the parts and the excess oil returning to the slide through an overflow pipe.
  • the upper portions of the crown are so designed as to facilitate such return flow, the plates 65, together with oil deflector A, being also highly effective for this purpose.
  • crankshafts from the under side of the crown. This may be effected by lowering the slide 50, disconnecting the pistons from the slide, and removing the amount of time and labor over other known constructions.
