Filed: 1911-08-31
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 19,441. Malde, D. Aug. 31. Cupping. - In a combined cupping and trimming operation for metal cans &c. the trimming - die 2 consists of a ring placed beneath the outer die 10 of the presser head and co - operating with a ring 3, mounted on the spring-pressed cross-piece 6. When the apparatus is in its upper position, Fig. 1, there is a slight clearance between the rings 2, 3, so that on the engagement of an abutment 8 on the ring 2 with the framework, the clearance is taken up, and the edge of the ring 2 passes through the sheet metal. The surface of the die 10 is protected against the action of the edge of the ring 2 by the ring 3. The die 10 is screwed to the block 12 which serves to guide the rod 13 of the ejecting- piston 11.

Abstract: 15,839. Stibbe, G., [Wildman Manufacturing Co.]. July 9. Circular machines. - Relates to machines in which the path of the needles is at times above and at other times, e.g. for welting, below an advancing cam 6<1>, as determined by the vertical position of a shifting cam 11. An intermediate cam-faced stitch cam 14 ensures the correct deflexion of the needles into the path determined. The cam 11 is elevated and depressed by means of a spiral cam 36x supporting a pin 39 on the standard 11<Î> and rotated by geared tappets which come in the path of patterncontrolled disks. Where there are two sets of cams, the disks are arranged at opposite sides of the cylinder and are operated in unison. The switch cam 14 is pivoted at 15 and is normally urged towards the needles by a spring 26. The operative end 20 is bevelled at 21 on the upper face and at 22 on the lower face. There is also a lower lateral bevel 23 and an upper lateral bevel terminating at a point 24<a>. These inclines definitely deflect the series either above or below the cams 14, 6<1>. Should a needlebutt strike the edge 25 centrally, the cam 14 yields and delivers the butt on to the lower incline 23. Should a butt strike below its centre the edge 25, it rides up to the incline 24.
