Improvements in and relating to Coiling Attachment for Sheet-metal
Rolls.
I, ADELBERT PHILANDER HINE, Citizen of the United States of America, residing
at 110 William Street, in the City of Bridgeport, in Fairfield County, in the State of
Connecticut, one of the United States of America, Gentleman, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in coiling devices
adapted to operate in conjunction with machines for rolling or shearing sheet metal, and
the object of said invention is to provide means for manipulating said metal as it issues
from the rolls in such manner that it shall be automatically wound or coiled without the
necessity either of a drum about which said winding is effected, or of an attendant to
superintend the delivery and disposal of said metal; and with these ends in view my
invention consists in the construction and combination of elements hereinafter fully
explained and then recited in the claims.
In the drawings hereunto annexed,
Figure 1, is a front elevation, showing a pair of rolls equipped with my
invention,
Figure 2, is a vertical longitudinal section at the line y-y of Figure 1 looking in
the direction of the arrow,
Figure 3, is a detail end elevation of the roller operating gears.
Like numerals denote the same parts in each of the figures.
1 denotes a pair of standards in which are journaled reducing rolls 2 adapted to roll
down the strip or sheet of metal which is designated by 3, and which is taken from a
drum or coil 4 at the rear of the roll. Extended across in front of the rolls and
preferably supported between the standards in such manner as to swing upon a hinge
connected to one of said standards, see 5 Figure 1, is a shelf or base 6. This shelf or
hase bears two smaller standards 7 between which are journaled with their axes in
parallelism three rollers 8, 9 and 10. Said rollers are geared together by means of
gears 11, whose operation is apparent from detail Figure 3, and which are driven from
a transverse shaft 14 so that all three of them revolve in the same direction. 12 is a
curved guide plate which is secured to the standard 7 with its convex portion toward
the reducing rolls.
The three rollers 8, 9 and 10, just referred to are so arranged, as will be readily
understood from the figures, as to impart to a strip of metal passing between then a
curve or bend which is dependent upon the relative position of said rollers. I prefer
to arrange then so that the curve imparted to the strip shall be a curve of somewhat
smaller radius than that of the guide 12 just referred to.
curve that
In the operation of my invention the metal to be worked is drawn between the
rolls 2 and has its end introduced between the three small rollers, passing beneath
the roller 8 and above the rollers 9, 10. These impart to it such a
its extremity comes in contact with the concave surface of the guide 12 and
following said curve is rolled into a coil which rests within the curve of the
guide and may be readily removed therefrom after the whole length of metal has
been treated. As the metal is coiled it rolls over and over within the guide
thereby forming the strip into a wound bundle whose tendency is to remain in the

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that I claim is:
1. In a machine of the character described, the combination with the rolls for
reducing the metal, of the bending rollers, and the curved guide adapted to receive
and form the coil as the strip is delivered, substantially as described.
2. In a machine of the character described, the combination with the operating rolls,
of the revolving bending rollers adapted to receive the metal and impart thereto an
upward inward curve, and the curved guide adapted to receive the coil and to form the
same as delivered by the rollers.
3. In a machine of the character described, the combination with the operating rolls,
of a swinging shelf or base supported between the roll standards, of the bending rollers
mounted upon said shelf and having their axes parallel with each other and with the
operating rolls, and the curved guide arranged above said bending rollers and a lapted
to receive the inetal as delivered by the latter, substantially as described.
