Granted: 1901-06-29
Abstract: 14,721. Gandy, F., and Chambers, T. Aug. 16. Moulding.-A machine for forming moulds for pipes, columns, and similar circular articles cast vertically, has a standard 1 in which is a vertical shaft 2 driven by an electric or other motor 6. A saddle 7, sliding on the standard, carries one or more spindles 8, driven by gearing from a wheel 9 sliding on the shaft 2. The spindles 8 carry compressing or moulding bars 23, Figs. 7 and 8, formed with longitudinal grooves 24 of ratchet crosssection. As the bar is rotated in the box A, and sand thrown in, the sand is forced outwards against the box to form the mould. The lower end of the bar has clutch teeth to engage teeth on a boss 28, revolubly mounted in the removable bottom 30 of the box, and shaped and grooved to form the mould for the socket. The lower end of the bar rotates on a pin 29, and is slightly enlarged so that the withdrawal of the bar imparts a finish to the mould. The slide is raised by a cord 14 attached to a drum 16 driven through a clutch and provided with a band brake 20. The standard is mounted in bearings 21, 22, so that the bars may be swung clear of the casting-pit. The machine may be fixed, and act on moulds carried by a turntable in a circular pit, or may be portable to act on a line of fixed moulds, the machine being made to act on one or more moulds at the same time.
