Abstract: 234,274. Broughton, J. May 16, 1924. Guards, controlling.-A guard for power presses and other machines is positively moved in front of the work space by means actuated by a moving part of the machine before completion of the working-stroke, and is withdrawn by frictional means on the return stroke of the machine. The positive drive is preferably thrown out just before completion of the working-stroke, the frictional means then completing the movement of the guard. As applied to a press and to a guard of the type described in Specification 120,024, a rack 2 on the plunger 1 drives through pinions 3. 6 a spindly 7 having secured to it a disc 8 and ratchet wheel 20. The parts 8, 20 drive through interposed fabric, fibre, leaher, metal, or other friction washers 11, 19, which may have cork insets, members 10, 17, slidably connected by pins 18 and pressed apart by a concentric spring or by springs 12. The friction coupling may be adjusted by a nut 21. A spring-pressed pawl 23 slides in an extension 22 of the member 17 and has a pin 26 engaging an angle-shaped part 27, which is also secured to an extension 28 of the sliding pawl. The part 27 contacts with a stationary adjustable cam 25. The sliding guard 32, actuated by an arm 16 secured to the member 17, is moved to or just past the danger zone by the wheel 20 and pawl 23, when the cam 25 lifts the pawl, as shown in Fig. 4, the coupling then completing the movement and slipping when the guard reaches its limiting-stop. The guard is returned to its left-hand stop by the coupling, the pawl 23 wiping over the teeth of the wheel 20 at the end of the movement. The cam may be dispensed with or be non-adjustable, the ratchet clutch may be of the pivoted-pawl or any other type, and the rack drive may be replaced by a chain or belt connection to a moving part, or by a cam or like actuation from the press crankshaft. Means, such as a member on the plunger engaging the guard arm or an extension thereof, may be provided to delay the return of the guard until the plunger has risen somewhat. The Provisional Specification describes the cam 25 as being built up from a bent metal strip, the co-operating part 27 carrying a roller.
