Title: Improvements in and relating to clamping devices
IPC: B22C19/02
Filed: 1956-04-05
Abstract: 787,793. Clamping flasks; work-holders. HANSBERG, F. April 5, 1956 [May 9, 1955], No. 10502/56. Classes 83 (1) and 83 (3). A clamping-device for core and mould boxes comprises a pneumatic piston to which compressed air is admitted through a control-valve and which in turn acts hydraulically on the box-clamping jaw by an hydraulic-transmisson system, and a valve for hydraulically locking the clamping-jaw during the filling of the box, which valve is mounted in the hydraulictransmission system of the clamping-device. The housing 1 is divided by a partition 4 into two oil-filled chambers 5, 6. The clamping- piston 7 is mounted in the chamber 5 and urged by a spring 9 towards the wall 4. A piston 12 is mounted in the chamber 6 and is movable therein by compressed air supplied through a connector 11 to a chamber 44, an annular chamber 13 being connected to atmosphere through a bore 14. In the wall 4 is mounted the locking-valve housing 17, which comprises chambers 25, 26 communicating through a valve-passage 27. A control-piston 31 carrying a push-rod 34 is mounted in the chamber 26 and is urged to the valve-open position by a spring 33. The push-rod co-operates with a valve 35 in the chamber 25 and urged towards the closed position by a spring 38. The chamber 26 is in communication with the chamber 6 through radial bores 43, and the chamber 25 is in communication with the chamber 5 through passage 40 and apertures 41, 42. In operation, after closing the clamping- jaw 8 on to the core- or mould-box by supply of compressed-air to the chamber 44, the resistance to continued movement of the jaw builds up pressure in the oil to close the valve 35. The box is then ready for filling and the increase in pressure, which occurs during this operation and tending to open the box, reacts on the incompressible oil and is not transmitted to the pressure-air.
