Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for assembling an endless chain, in particular a transmission chain, built up of individual sets, each of two elongated elements with their long sides lying against each other, said sets being coupled to each other in pairs by link plates provided with openings corresponding to those sets.
  • Producing chains of this kind in the usual way is done using large lengths from which a piece having a length corresponding to the circumference of the desired length to be made is detached from the rest.
  • the devices, necessary for making a chain this way, are complicated and expensive.
  • the invention aims to propose a method as described above which has the advantage that it can be carried out manually as well as automated. According to the invention this method is carried out in such a way that the respective sets are supported parallel to each other in a number accommodating holes arranged in a closed circle and in a support, each hole having a depth less than the length of the elements and subsequently -in accordance with a desired pattern-two sets lying next to each other are coupled together by placing a link plate thereon until the part protruding from the support has been provided with link plates over a desired length.
  • the subassembly obtained in this way can be detached from the support. If wanted, this subassembly can then be turned over and the remaining link plates can be placed on the remaining free parts of the longitudinal elements in accordance with the pattern desired.
  • the method is carried out in such a way that one supports the longest of these two elements at a level that lies below the level at which the shortest element is supported. Because of this, there is the advantage that the ends of the shorter elements will already directly lie at practically the same distance from the ends of the longer elements in the completed chain.
  • the claimed exclusive rights comprise a device for carrying out the method described above.
  • This device comprises according to the invention a supporting assembling body with a closed ring of holes in it corresponding to the dimensions of the chain to be assembled, each hole having a cross-section adapted to a configuration of a combination of two longitudinal elements lying next to each other and having a depth less than the length thereof, where each hole is bounded on the top side by two raised edges situated radially at a distance from each other and is on the bottom side closed off by a stepped recess, in such a way that each longest element is inserted in a hole over a greater distance than same of the shorter element.
  • Figure 1 shows a complete device for assembling a transmission chain using the method according to the invention.
  • This device indicated in its entirety by the number 2, consists of the base 4 from which the spindle 6 protrudes.
  • An assembling plate 8 and a closing plate 10, shown in detail in Figure 2 can rotate about the spindle.
  • the device 2 comprises the upright column 12 along which an arm 16 is guided that can be moved up and down by means of a simple mechanism, driven by the operating lever 18 in the direction of the arrows 20.
  • the assembling plate which indeed could also be an assembling ring
  • a ring of axial openings 30 for inserting those sets situated between the plate's raised outer edge 32 and a raised inner edge 34.
  • Each of these openings has a configuration which corresponds to the outer contour of a set of two elongated elements of the transmission chain to be assembled, each with their long sides lying against each other, as elucidated in detail by means of Figures 3 and 4.
  • the upper surface 10a of the closing plate 10 to be placed under the assembling plate 8 is provided with a number of radial, shallow, recesses the width of which corresponds to the thickness of the longest elongated elements.
  • a set of elongated transmission elements will consist of a long pin 42 and a little shorter roll-off strip 44; in use, the longer pins 42 are in contact with the tapered cone pulleys and realize the transmission of power to the link plates, a few of which are shown in detail in Figure 4 and are indicated by the numeral 46.
  • Figure 3 shows the situation in which all the sets of pins and strips have been placed in the assembling plate and
  • Figure 4 shows the start of the phase wherein the link plates 46 are being placed on the pins and strips. This takes place in accordance with the pattern desired and can easily be done manually or be carried out mechanically.
  • the link plates are pressed onto the sets of pins and strips by the jaws 24 during the downward movement of the lever 18.
  • Figure 5 shows the situation in which the transmission chain is halfway assembled; the upper part of each set of pins and strips is coupled to the adjoining set by a link plate.
  • Figure 4 in particular shows a favourable detail of the configuration of pins and strips respectively and particularly the bevel 56 and 58 respectively on the head-end which makes it easier to place the link plates over the sets of pins and strips, especially when the pins and strips are coupled to the link plates with a light drive press-fit.
