Title: Improvements relating to the Rolling of Metal Tubes
Inventor: STIEFEL RALPH CHARLES
Filed: 1901-01-01
Granted: 1901-06-22
Abstract: 92. Stiefel, R. C. Jan. 1. Rolling.-Relates to the rolling of hollow billets into tubes by the stepby-step method, and more particularly to a feedmechanism whereby a billet may be so supported, when presented to the rolls, that the entire length of the billet may be rolled, and that without the use of a backing hot washer. Fig. 1 is a vertical section, Fig. 2 a plan, and Fig. 4 a side elevation of the machine. The apparatus consists of the feed-carriage 4 moved forward by the feed-ram 10, to or from which it can be mechanically attached or disconnected, the feed-carriage having mounted on it the feed-spindle 11, which supports the rear end of the mandrel bar 15. The rear support consists of the sleeve 16 fitting over the forward end of the reciprocating feedspindle. This sliding sleeve 16 is locked in an advanced position by means of the latches 24, which are kept apart by the wedge 26 on the central rod 27, and is unlocked by the release of the latches 29 from the holder 30 and the withdrawal of the wedge 26 through the medium of the disc-plate 32 and the bars 66. Between the strokes of the rolls, the billet is turned through 90‹ by means of the hand-lever 40, and the pinions 37, 38. The feedcarriage and the feed-ram are connected by the lever 8 and the link 6. The coiled spring 56 tends to keep the link 6 connected to the head 9 of the feed ram. When the rolls do not grip the billet, the coiled spring 46 moves the feed-spindle 1 inwardly until the nut 49 strikes the buffer 50; and at the same time the feed-carriage has been advanced slightly towards the rolls. When the billet is nearly rolled out, the treadle 62 is depressed, operating the bell-crank lever 63, link 64, and bars 66, and allowing the sleeve 16 to be moved backwards. In the backward motion of the sleeve the conical surface of the ring 17 lifts the stirrup 52 until it drops behind the ring 17, and locks the sleeve in a position away from the billet. The feed-carriage is disconnected from the feed-ram by the handlever 8 when the billet is completely rolled out, and the tube withdrawn from the rolls. To start rolling, the mandrel bar 15 is keyed to the feedspindle, the sleeve 16 is pulled forward, and the rod 27 pushed forward between the latches 24.
