"METEIOD TO MA}CE BENDS IN ~H15 TRAILING ENDS OF BARS
2 FOR BUILDING WORR IN BENDING-SHAPING MACEIINES, AND
3 BENDING-SHAPING MACHINES FOR BARS FO~ BUILDING WORK
4 WHICH EMPLOY SUCH METHOD"
S * * ~ * *
6 This invention concerns a method to make bends in the 7 trailing ends of bars for building work in bending-shaping 8 machines and concerns also bending-shaping machines for bars 9 for building work which employ such method, as set forth in the relative main claims.
11 The method of this invention to make bends in the trailing 12 ends is applied properly to the field of processing sections 13 for reinforcements in reinforced concrete, the sections 19 being in the form of bars or rolls of a round, square, polygonal or other cross sectlon.
16 The bendlng-shaping machines of the state of the art which 17 are characterlzed by having one single bending assembly 18 downstream of a shearing assembly and of a straightening-l9 drawing assembly~ or a drawing assembly alone~ entail the problem Of making bends in the trailing end of the bar.
21 With these known bendlng-shaping machines it is not 22 possible to make bends in the trailing end except where the 23 length between the shearing plane and the axis of the 29 abutment roll coincides with the required length of the bend in the trailing end. This fact reStriCtS the oUtpUt Of the 26 bending machines Of the state of the art considerably.
2~ Document IT-B-1024229 discloses a teaching of making the 2B bend in the traillng end, lowering the bending assembly and 29 bringing the section back to the required length before per~orming the shearing. This system entails long 31 processing times and lowering and raiSing mechanisms whiCh 32 by their use involve great consumptions of energy and 33 problems of wear and maintenance.

1 Document IT 83349 A/89 discloses a proposal to arrange the 2 shears assembly separately above the bending assembly, but 3 this proposal entails the problem of shearing the trailing 4 end where the trailing end is long.
Documents IT 83543 A/9O and EP-A-0.379.043 disclose a 6 bending~shaping machine which comprises a retractable 7 drawing assembly located downstream of the bending assembly.
8 This retractable drawing assembly enables the section to be 9 clamped and, after the shearing operation, to be drawn downstream by a desired length so that the bend in the 11 trailing end can then be made. This teaching is in itself 12 interesting and useful but involves problems of overall bulk 13 and of moving the drawing assembly, with resulting problems 14 of wasted energy, maintenanCe/ wasted materials and a 15 complex Structure.
16 Document DE-A-1.249.057 teaches a complex sy~tem for 17 expanding the abutment roll for as to clamp the bar. This 18 system cannot be applied to bending/shaping machines which 19 produce up to 1500/1600 9tirrUpS an hour because it has a very short life and is complex to handle.
21 Document DE-A-1.920.668 teaches the thrusting oi a bar 22 with an appropriate jack, but this teaching cannot be 23 applied to bending/shaping machines owing to the high 2~ working speed, the need for simplicity and the necessity of not having any contacts during the travel Of the bar.
26 EP-A-0.371.960 teaches the uSe Of the bending pin Of an 27 end-bending assembly to clamp the bar while the other 28 bending assemblies are positioned.
29 The present applicants have studied, tested and obtained this invention to obviate the shortcomings of the state of 31 the art and to achieve further advantages.
32 This invention iS set forth and characterized in the 33 relative main claims, while the dependent claims describe -- 3 2 0 8 ~ V ~ r ~

l variants of the idea of the main solution.
2 The lnvention consists in providing a normal bending-3 shaping machine for bars for building work and also a method 4 which enables bends to be made in the trailing end of bars for building work, even when the end segment of the bent bar 6 has a length different from the distance between the 7 shearing plane and the axis of the abutment roll of the ~8 bending assembly.
9 A first formulation of the method to make bends in the trailing end of bars according to the invention provides 11 that, after all the bends have been made except the bend in 12 the trailing end and after shearing to size has taken place 13 and has separated the bent bar from the feeding section, the 14 bar is thrust downstream by the distance requlred by the feeding actlon of the feeding section.
16 When the feeding section has thrust the bent bar 17 downstream by the distance required~ the feeding section 18 moves back to its Starting poSition and the bend iS made in 19 the trailing end Of the bar.
Thls first formulatlon includes clamplng means or abutment 21 means or other means suitable for the purpose which are 22 positioned downstream of the bending assembly so as to hold 23 the bar rigidly in poSition during the aforesaid step Of 24 making the bend in the trailing end of the bar.
25 These clampin~ means or abutment means or other means 26 suitable for the purpose can be retracted below the working 27 plane so as to enable the preceding bends to be made in the 28 bar.
29 A second formulation of the method to make bends in the trailing end Of the bar according to the invention provides 31 that the bending assembly can move parallel to the axis of 32 feed of the bar.
33 This motion of feed is achieved, for instance, by slider - 4 - 20g ~^3,'~

1 means able to move on suitable guides, the bending assembly 2 being positioned on these slider means.
3 According to this second formulation, after all the bends 4 have been made except the bend in the trailing end of the bar and after the shearing of the bent bar to size has taken 6 place and the bent bar has been separated from the feeding 7 section, the bending assembly is rotated by an amount enough 8 to clamp the bar by bending the same~ and the bar will abut 9 against a third retractable pointi the bending assembly is then moved forwards downstream until it has displaced the 11 bent bar by the required distance.
12 The bending assembly then releases the bent bar, which is 13 clamped by an appropriate retractable assembly and is 14 brought back upstream by a required value~ at which ~he bend in the trailing end o~ the bar i~ made.
16 The attached figures, whlch are given as a non-restrlctive 17 example, show two variants of the invention as follows:-18 Figs . la~ lb and lc show a cycle of making a bend in the 19 trailing end according to a first formulation of thiS invention;
21 Figs.2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e and 2f show a cycle of making a bend 22 in the trailing end according to a second 23 formulation of this invention.
24 Figs.1 show a cycle of making a bend in the trailing end of a bar according to a first formulation of the method of 26 this invention.
27 Fig.la shows a bar 10 coming in this example from a wound28 roll, the bar 10 having undergone all the bending operations 29 except that of its trailing end; for the sake of simplicity the bends made consist here of one single bend 23, which in 31 this case is a hook in the leading end of the bar 10.
32 The displacements of the bar 10 along the working plane 33 are brought about by a drawing assembly 11 located upstream ~Q80~

1 of a bending assembly 12.
2 The drawing assembly 11 may comprise also a straightening 3 assembly or may consist of a straightening assembly alone.
4 The drawing assembly 11 and bending assembly 12 form part 5 of the state of the art and are therefore unimportant for 6 the purposes of the invention.
7 In this example the bending assembly 12 comprises a 8 bending disk 13, a bending pln 14 and an abutment roll 15.
9 The rod 10 is sheared to the desired length by a shearing assembly 16 and thus is separated from a feeding section 22.
11 When all the bends 23 have been made except the bend in 12 the trailing end, the sheared bar 10 is thrust downstream by 13 the feeding section 22, which is drawn forwards by the 14 desired length and cooperates by butting against the bar 10 (Fig.lb).
16 Next, the feeding section 22 is moved backwards and the 17 bending assembly 12 makes the bend in the trailing end 24,in 18 this case a lefthand bend (Fig.lc); this bend 24 in the 19 trailing end can be of any type.
So as to keep the bar 10 rigidly in position during the 21 step of bending the trailing end, clamping means 17 are 22 positioned downstream of the bending unit 12 and consist, in 23 this case, of two idler rolls 18 capable of a movement 29 orthogonal to the working plane in this example.
These clamping means 17 are retractable so as to enable 26 the preceding bends 23 to be made without the bar 10 coming 27 into contact with the clamping means 17.
28 The clamping means 17 may also consist of a vice or, where 29 they consist of rolls, may be capable also of rotary movement.
31 In Fig.la the clamping means 17 are located below the 32 working plane, whereas in Fig.lb the clamping means 17 33 position the bar 10 and let it slide, while in Fig.lc the 2~8~

1 clamping means 17 grip the bar 10 and keep it in position 2 during the performance of the bend 24 in the trailing endA
3 Figs.2 show a cycle of making a bend in the trailing end 4 according to the second formulation of the method of this invention.
6 Fig.2a shows a rod 10 coming, in this case, from a wound 7 roll of a feeding section 22 and having all the bends 23, 8 except bends 24 ln the trailing end, already made; these 9 bends 23 already made are summarized in this case with one single hook. With all these bends 23 made, the bar 10 is 11 sheared to the desired length by the shearing assembly 16 12 (Fig.2a).
13 So as to Carry out the method, the bending assembly 12 iS
14 positioned on a sultable slider 19 whlch can move on guides lS 21 parallel to the axis of feed of the bar 10.
16 After making the bends 23, but not bends in the trailing 17 end, and after the bar 10 has been sheared to the desired 18 length, the bending assembly 12 is rotated about its axis 19 until the bending pin 14 rests against the bar 10 and compels the bar 10 to rest against a clamping means 117, so 21 that the bar 10 is clamped between the bending pin 14 and 22 the abutment roll 15 (Fig.2b).
23 In this case the clamping means 117 are retractable and 24 consist of tw~ idler rolls 20 capable, in this example, of a movement orthogonal to the working plane.
26 When the bar 10 has been clamped between the bending pin 27 14 and abutment roll 15, the bending assembly 12 (Fig.2c) 28 is moved downstream by the desired distance and takes the 29 bar 10 with it.
When the bar 10 has reached the desired poSition and while 31 the clamping meanS 117 take action and clamp the bar 10, the 32 bending pin 14 rotates in the opposite direction and 33 releases the bar 10 from its grip (Fig.2d).

2 ~ 8 0 t3 ~ r~

1 Next, the bending assembly 12 retreats to its bending 2 position (Fig.2e), where it makes the bend 24 in the 3 trailing end with the desired bending angle (Fig.2f).
4 The bending assembly 12 may be of any type and may carry out any other known auxiliary movement.
