Granted: 1908-07-10
Abstract: 15,903. Sonnenthal, G., and Bamford, H. July 10. Shaping.-In a shaping-machine the tool box, besides having rotary and vertical motion on the ram, has also lateral: motion, and the bed of the machine is used as table for large work. and has means for literal motion also; the smaller. table h is capable of rotation on a hinge h<4> when the carrier h<1> is at the end of its motion and the bolts h<2> are removed, and is thus moved from between the tool and the movable base g<4>. The horizontal motion of the part a<1>, which carries the tool slide a, is given by a nut c<1> fixed in a<1> and working on a screw c, which may be turned by hand, or by automatic gear, consisting of a weighted lever c<7> operated by a screw-adjusted rod d when the ram returns, which operates a ratchet c<9> and thence the screw c through gearing. The wheel c<3> is detachable so that it may be put on to the shaft f and thus, through the same gearing as before, be used to adjust the vertical motion of the tool automatically. The lower table is actuated by hand on turning the shaft g when the pinion g<1> moves along on the rack g<2>, but it may be actuated automatically from the same gearing that operates the smaller table h ; this gearing consists of a slotted disk i<3> and rod i<4> operating a ratchet i<5>, which in turn actuates by other rods a bell-crank lever i<7> a double ratchet with two wheels, having the teeth opposite in each and adapted to engage with a clutch i<15> keyed to the shaft i<14> on which is keyed a pinion i<17> engaging a pinion i<18> keyed to a splined screw i<19>. This screw is carried in the table g<4> and engages with a half-nut i<20> fixed to the base, and which can be disengaged from the screw by turning the handle i<21> which operates a quick-thread screw ; in this way the table can be quikly adjusted by hand, and can be moved in either direction automatically by shifting the clutch i<15>.
