Title: Improvements in straightening machines with hyperbolic or other concave rolls
IPC: B21D3/04
Filed: 1950-08-02
Abstract: 676,058. Skew-rolling. LOUVROIL-MONTBARD-AULNOYE. Aug. 2, 1950 [Aug. 25, 1949], No. 19266/50. Class 83 (iv). In a machine for straightening bars &c. with co-operating skew rolls the work roll or the backing roll is resiliently mounted and movable by fluid pressure means. A C-frame 1 carries hyperboloid work rolls 2, 52 rotated from an electromotor 4, backing rolls 7, 57 and a guide roll 6. The rolls 7, 57 are carried by pistons 8, 58 on cylinders 9, 59. When fluid pressure is admitted to the tops of the cylinders the rolls 7, 57 are lowered until plates 108, 158 engage small pistons 10, 60. Pressure is admitted to passages 111, 161 to raise the rolls. The pistons 10, 60 are adjusted by screwed bevel gears 13 geared to an operating wheel through claw couplings. Bars to be straightened are laid on a table 30 and are rolled against a stop 31 when the leading end is engaged by the skew rolls which have been separated for the purpose. After rolling the bars roll down a delivery shoot. Spring means may be substituted for the fluid cylinders and the work rolls or backing rolls or both may be resiliently mounted.

Abstract: 811,996. Forging dies; jointing by forging. A.M.P. Inc. July 6, 1955 [July 6, 1954], No. 19543/55. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group XXXVI] In a method of crimping a ferrule 22, Fig. 1, on to the end 24 of a conductor 26, the ferrule is indented at three approximately equallyspaced points 30, the pressure being gradually increased to force the metal of the ferrule and conductor radially outwardly at vertices 35, 36, Fig. 3, between the areas of applied force and to forge the whole into a substantially solid cross-section. The crimping is performed between dies 60, 62, Fig. 8, the assembled ferrule resting in a nest 63 of the lower die 60 which has an arcuate hump 68 in the base for making one of the indents. The other two indents are formed by arcuate camming faces 72 on projections 70 of the other die 62 which progressively enter the nest 63 and force the metal into the arcuate valleys 69 in the base and into the arcuate throat 73 between the projections 70. The sides 64 of the die 60 are made slightly converging to give support to the projections 70. The method may be used with a ferrule 22a, Fig. 6, having an insulation sheath 50, the crimping forces being applied through the sheath 50 without detriment and causing the insulation to thicken along the vertices 35, 36, Fig. 5, where the greatest amount of abrasion is likely to occur. Specification 620,561 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,216,694. Chucks; welding by pressure. CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO. 26 April, 1968 [12 July, 1967], No. 20012/68. Headings B3B and B3R. A collet chuck comprises a collet sleeve 28 for receiving a workpiece, which sleeve 28 is movable into the bore of the chuck housing 26 to exert a gripping force on the workpiece by interaction between a taper on the sleeve and a taper in the housing bore, means for drawing the sleeve into: the housing to tighten the sleeve on a workpiece and a back member 31 connected to the sleeve to transmit axial thrust exerted by the workpiece against the back up member to the sleeve to further tighten the sleeve on the workpiece. An inertia friction welding machine comprises a non-rotatable chuck on an axially slidable member and a rotatable chuck axially fixed on the frame of the machine. The rotatable chuck is mounted on a spindle which carries inertia weights and which is rotated by an electric motor through a transmission including an hydraulic pump and motor. The rotary chuck which is screwed at 33 to the end of the rotary shaft includes a housing 26 having a tapered surface 27 at its free end and within the housing a longitudinally split collet sleeve 28 having a tapered surface 29 mating with surface 27, a back up nut 41 being threaded at 42 into the inner end of the sleeve 28 and carrying a hardened steel button 51 for engagement with the workpiece WP1. The sleeve 28 and the nut 41 each have a key and slot connection with the housing 26 to prevent relative rotation and the nut 41 is connected to the end of a power actuated draw bar 32. In operation when the workpiece in the non-rotatable chuck is urged against the workpiece WP1 in the rotating chuck, the workpiece WP1 by pressing on the nut 41 causes the sleeve 28 to be urged further into the housing 26 to tighten its grip on the workpiece. The drawbar force which is used to initially grip the workpiece WP1 is additive to the axial thrust produced by the workpiece engagement. The chuck may be employed as a non-rotary chuck.
