Abstract: 647,019. Centrifugal casting - machines. ROSEN, C. April 2, 1948, No. 9315. [Class 83 (i)] A centrifugal casting-machine comprises a carrier 10 rotated, by a motor 12 and clutch 13, about a vertical axis 11 on which are mounted eccentrically two or more flasks and one or more supply crucibles, the clutch being closed automatically after the motor has started. Each flask 16 has a T-section lug 21 which can be inserted between lugs 20 of a slide 19 which is then moved radially inwards by a screw 18, turned by key, Fig. 4, to insert a crucible 15a, mounted thereon, into a central furnace 15, and the lug 21 below guides 17a. The machine has a cover 24 which has a door 25 to give access to the screw 18, flasks 16, &c. A knob 30 enables the carrier to be turned to bring a flask opposite the door and each flask may have a detachable bottom 16a, Fig. 3. The carrier may have adjustable balance weights. In a modification, each crucible may be mounted on a slide similar to 19 and operated therewith or separately. Heating by electricity.-Assuming that the furnace has been preheated and that preheated moulds in flasks 16 have been fitted with crucibles 15a containing solid metal, inserted in the slides 19 and brought into the position shown in Fig. 1 by the screws 18, the current is turned on through a time-switch 14 which supplies current to the furnace 15 for 5 to 60 minutes according to the charges to be melted and then turns on the motor 12. After, say, one minute the time-switch operates a clutch 13 to connect suddenly the motor and shaft 11. After, say, 30 seconds to one minute it switches off entirely and allows the shaft 11 to run freely under the momentum of the carrier &c. The clutch may be controlled by the temperature of the crucible instead of by time. The crucible may be heated by high-frequency electric current or by a blow-torch. In a modification, the screws 18 are omitted and the combined moulds and flasks are moved radially inwards by a central electric magnet controlled by the time-switch so that it is de-energized soon after the clutch has been closed and centrifugal force impels the moulds and crucibles radially outward. The Provisional Specification describes the rotary carrier for the moulds &c. as spherical and rotated about a vertical or other axis, the metal being melted in an upper crucible, flowing to a central crucible, and thence, when the sphere is rotating, flowing into the moulds. The clutch also may be operated centrifugally.
