Title: Improvements in Machines for Automatically and Mechanically Cutting or Forming the Screw-threads Upon Screws.
Inventor: AVERY WILLIAM
IPC: B23G1/06
Filed: 1908-07-16
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 15,091. Avery, W. July 16. Lathes; chucks. -Blanks for woodscrews are fed down guide-rails 18, Fig. 2, and are taken one by one from the .jaws of an arm 21, Fig. 3, by a feeding-finger 32 and placed in a groove in a die 25 on a slide 26, which moves laterally to insert the blank in the chuck and retires to act as a steady rest. The chuck jaws are mounted on pivoted levers, closed by a spring-pressed cone and opened by a cam - operated rod 40. A reciprocable tool-carrying rockshaft 63 is held in its forward position by the engagement of a detent 103 with a projection 104 on the rock-shaft during chucking and during the pointing of the blank by a tool in a leverrest 60. This rest is carried by the slide 26 and is provided with a stop 62 which engages the end of the die 25. The detent 103 is withdrawn and the shaft 63 is returned to the right, Fig 2, by a spring, and is traversed for screw-cutting by a cam 67 on a shaft 13. A cam shaft 17 geared to the shaft 13 rotates once during the production of a finished screw and control, by a cam 85 the depth of cut. The threading-tool 66 is mounted in an arm 66 on the shaft 63 controlled by a pin 71 riding on a templet 87 carried by a frame 86, loose on a shaft 72 and having pins which rest on cams in a second rock-frame 73. The cam 85 acts through linkage to straighten out gradually a toggle mechanism raising the frame 73, thus, in conjunction with the templet 87, determining the taper of the blank and making the threading- tool take a deeper cut at each successive traverse. The cams in the frame 73 are rotated prior to the return of the tool-shaft 63 to lower the frame 86 and withdraw the tool from the cut. The rotation of the cams is effected by means of a connecting-rod 93, so controlled by two cams 49, 98 on the shafts 17 and 13 that, on the completion of the screw, the end of the rod 93 moves forward sufficiently to operate the detent 103. To reduce the thread towards the point of the screw, the shaft 63 is accelerated and retarded on alternate traverses, while acting on the pointed end, by means of a switch-cam. The pitch-cam 67 acts on the shaft 63 through a sleeve 69 which is slotted to carry a bell-crank lever, with one arm engaging an adjustable abutment in the shaft and the other a pin 110 which engages a surface 112 on an arm controlled by a pin 117. The switch-cam holds the pin 117 against movement during the threading of the shank but on alternate cuts subtracts or adds motion while threading the point by acting on the pin 110 and rocking the bell-crank. When the threading is complete, an arm 122 carrying fingers 131, 132 is rocked to engage the screw and remove it from the chuck. Projections on the fingers engage stops to effect the release of the screw. The lateral motion of the fingers is produced by a projection 129 on the arm 70.
