Granted: 1912-06-17
Abstract: 14,336. Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co., and Keegan, F. J. June 16. Angular bending; coiling; welding. - In a machine for making tubular or beaded-edged wheel rims from flat strips of the type in which the strips are bent by a series of sectioning rolls and coiled on a mandrel, the edges of the strip are closed by welding either during the passage through or after leaving the sectioning-rolls or during the coiling of the strip. In the form shown, the strip is conveyed through sectioning-rolls b situated on each side of an electric welding- apparatus c, and is then coiled on a mandrel d'. The welding - apparatus consists of two pairs of rolls c', c<2>, one for each edge, which are provided with insulating-disks c<9> and are mounted on shafts c<7>, the upper shafts being carried by arms c<13> pivoted at c<15> and adjusted by screws c<17>. The current is conveyed from conductors f through switches f<1>, f<2> and a pair of transformers, one end of the secondary of each transformer being connected to one of the insulated brackets c<3>, and passes thence through screwadjusted spring contact members c<4> to the upper rollers, and thence through the strip to the lower rollers and by contact members c<5> to brackets c‹ connected to the other ends of the transformers. The belt-shifting lever for the gear for driving the sectioning-rolls, welding- rolls, &c. is operated simultaneously with the main switch e, by means of a hand-lever e<1> which is mounted on a shaft e<2>, carrying at its other end a lever connected by a forked lever to the belt-shifting rod. The current switches f<1>, f<2> may be automatically put in and out by the strip, the end of which engages successively the studs g<ÎÎ> on each of the tables g; the tables are mounted on pivots g<0> and carry on their undersides triangular blocks g<3>, which are caused to rotate the tables when the rear end of the strip passes the studs by spring plungers g<2>. When the studs g<ÎÎ> engage the work, the studs y' move back levers g<4> on shafts g<6>, which are connected through spring-returned levers g<10> and rods g' to the switches f<1>, f<2> to put in the current, whereas the rotation of the tables by means of the spring plungers removes the studs from the levers g<4> which are retracted to switch off the current. In the modification in which the welding is performed during coiling, a roller on the mandrel may have insulated peripheral contacts, and welding-rollers may be arranged to bear on the upper side of the rim strip. Welding may be performed otherwise than by electricity.
