l To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, CHARLES E. FE'rHnR- 0LF,^a citizen of the United States, resldmg at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Tire-Cutting Machines, of which the following is a speciication, reference being had therein to .the accompanying drawin This invention relates to improvements in machines for straightening and cutting wire, and is especially 'adapted for use in connect-ion with flat insulated wire Vsuch as is used for the armature windings ofdynamos and motors. Machines embodying my invent-ion are, however, equally well adapted for straightening and cutting other kinds of wire. Y
Among the objects of my invention are to Vprovide improved means for feeding the wire, improved means for cutting it, improved means for regulating the length of the cut sect-ions, and improved means for 'actuating and controlling the feeding and cutting means. Other objectswill lowing specification.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this speciiication, I have shown the embodiment of my invention which I at present prefer. It will be understood, however, that various changes in construct-ion and in arrangement of parts appear from the folmay be made wit-hin the scope 'of my inven? tlon.

tal plane.
. `Adjacent the machine is a standard 5 havlng a spindle 6 upon which may be mounted a spool 7 having wire wound upon it.I
' Mounted upon thevbed plate 2 of the machine is a wire straightener, indicated as a whole by 9. This comprises a suitable support 9a upon which there is mounted a plurality of horizontal rollers 10 which, on account of their relative arrangement, are adapted to straighten the wire in a horizon- In advence of the rollers 1() are two vertical rollers 12 mounted on stationary spindles and a third vertical roller 13 mounted upon a spindle which is vertically adjustable by means of a screw 14. By means of this screw 14 the straightener may be adjusted in accordance with the stiffness or curvature of the wire upon which it is operating.
18 is a shaft rotatably mounted in the pedestals. 15 and 16 and the bearing bracket 17. 19 is a driving pulley freely mounted on the shaft 18, Connected with the pulley 19 and adapted to rotate with itis a spur gear 20 and the driving element 21 of an electromagnet-ic clutch which will be lnore 'fully described hereafter.
22 represents the' driven element of the clutch and is `keyed to the shaft 18.
Parallel to and directly above the shaft 18 is a rotatable shaft 23 mounted at one end in a bearing 16 which is pivotally mounted on t-he pedestal 16, and at the other end in a bearing 15l1 whichis slidably mounted in the pedestal 15. The shaft 23 is driven from the vshaft 18 by means of a pair of spur gears 24.
Referring now more particularly to Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings, it will be noted that the stationary jaw 28 of the shearing device is formed as a part of the casting 28L which is attached to the bed plate 2. The movable jaw 29 of the shearing device is formed on a member 29a which is mounted on a pivot 33 journaled in a bearing in the cast-ing 28a and held in place by lock nuts 34. At the rear part of the member 29HL thereis formed an arm 35 which carries a roller 3G mounted on an axis at right angles to the pivot 33.
40 is a shaft parallel to the shaft 18 and rotatably mounted in bearings 41 and 42 which are secured to the bed plate 2. The shaft 40 is driven from the pulley 19 by means of the gear wheel 44 which meshes with the gear wheel 20 and by means of a magnetic clutch, one member of which, 43, 'is attached to the gear wheel 44, and the other member of which, 39, is attached to t-he shaft. This clutch will be hereinafter described in detail.
Secured to the shaft 40 is a cam 38 which is adapted to engage the pulley 36 on the arm 35. The pulley is maintained in engagement with the cam by means of the spring 37 which acts through the rod 37. The tension of the spring may be adjusted by means of the nut 37b on the rod 37a. It will be noted that the cam 38 is frustocono-idal in shape so that there will be Pfull engagement with the roller for all positions. The shear member 29 is provided with a downward extending arm 45 which is provided with a laterally extending pin 46.
48 is a lever pivoted to the bed plate 2 atV 49, and provided with a longitudinal slot 47 through which the pin 46 passes.
54 is a shaft rotatably mounted in suitable bearings on the brackets 56 which are mounted on the tubular extension 3 of the bed plate 2. The shaft 54 is connected at its rear end with the upper end of the lever 48 by means of an arm 53 and a link 51, the link being connected with the arm and with the lever 48 at 52 and 50 respectively. It will be noted that by means of the system of levers and links-which has been described, the shaft 54 will be rocked back and forth through a small angle at each actuation of they shear. A
llhe measuring device comprises a guideway30 which consists of a stationary bar 55 having in its bottom a groove 55a. The bar 55 is supported on the brackets 56. A bar 58 serves as a Hoor for the groove or trough 55a and is mounted by means of brackets l59 on the shaft 54. The wire to be cut is fed by. the rollers 25 and 26 into the groove 55a. The connections between the shearing device and the shaft 54 are such that as the shear is moved the floor 58 drops and ermits the severed section of wire to fall 1nto racks 57 which are secured to the brackets 56.
61 is an endless steel tape or belt which passes over the rollers 62 and 63 which are mounted at the ends of the bar 55. The trough 55a is provided at its upper part with two opposite laterally extending grooves which are adapted to receive the lower strand of the tape 61. Permanently secured to the tape 61 is a depending lug or stop 64 which is adapted to entirely close the passageway through the trough 55a. stop is most clearly shown in Fig. 7. At a convenientpoint along the bar 55 there is provided an electric controller switchwhich 'is mounted upon a plate 67.v The plate 67 is provided with a depending bearing boss 66 in which there is rotatably mounted a vertical shaft 68, upon the lower end of which there is a-bevel pinion 69 adapted to mesh with a bevel gear 7() on the shaft 54. Secured to the upper end of the shaft 68 is a head 71 having a finger 72.
74 is a switch blade rotatably mounted ofi the shaft 68 between the head 71 and the plate 67. At one side the blade 74 is provided with a notch 77 adapted to be engaged by a pivotally mounted latch 78. A spring 79 tends to hold the latch in engagement with the notch.
is a clamp 'adapted to be secured to the lupper strand of the tape 61 at any desired point.
guide-way 82 for the clamp. This guideway is provided with a slot through which extends a depending pin 82 which is adapt- -ed to engage the latch 78 to release it from The plate 67 is provided with a the notch 77. A spring 76 attached at one end to the pin 75 on the plate 67 and at the iother end to the upper part of the pin 73 is secured to the switch blade 74. When the latch 78 releases the switch blade the spring 76 immediately moves it into the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 6.
84 is an insulated plate mounted upon theswitch blade 74 and carries a Contact plate 83.
87 and 90 are stationary insulating blocks secured to the plate 67. The block 90 is provided with lingers 88 and 89 adapted to engage the `contact plate -83 when the switch arm is in one position, and the block 87 isl provided with .contact fingers 85 and 86 adapted to engage the contact plat-e when the switch arm is in the other posit-ion.
The operation of the switch is as follows: When the `end of the wire to be cut engages the stop 64 it moves t-he tape 61 andwith it the pin 81 a sufiicient distance to disengage the latch 78 from the notch 77. The spring 76 immediately throws the switch arm into the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 6, the circuitI being thus broken through the lingers 88 and 89 and established through the fingers 85 and 86. As soonl as the wire has been cut off it is dropped by the floor 58 and in this way the stop 64 is released. The spring 79 immediately tends toreturn the latch 78 and with it the tape 61 to their original positions. The same movement'of the shaft 54 which releases the wire from the trough also actuates thevshaft G8 which, by means of the finger 72 and the pin 73, re-
` t-urns the switch arm 74 to its original position. l p I have found from experience that occasionally the wire will foul and work its way out. between the door 58 and the bot tom of the bar 55. 'When this occurs, the wire, of course, fails to engage the stop 64 andthe controlling switch is not operated. In order to prevent this difficulty I provide contacts 97 and 99 which are connected into the electrical circuit of the machine in a Y manner hereinafter to be set forth. The contact 99 is secured to the door 58, and the contactl 97 is preferably in the form of a screw adjustable in the lug 98. The two contacts are so positioned relative to each other that when the door 58 is fully closed, electric connection will be established through the contacts. vWhen the door is partly'open, as is the. case when a wire is between it and the lower surface of the bar 55, electrical connection is broken.
I will now describe somewhat more in detail the electric clutches which have been heretofore mentioned. These clutches are similar in construction and itwill therefore be necessary to describe but one of them. Referring to Fig. 3, 43 is the driving element which is secured to the driving` gear. rThe element 43 is provided with an annular groove in which there is a coil 105A which is connected, by means of wires passing through the insulated bushings 106 and 107, with the insulated collector rings 108 and 109. The rings of the shear clutch are provided with contact brushes 113 and 114 and the rings of the feed roller clutch are -provided with brushes 115 and 116. A diaphragln 112 is sprung into annular notches in thc groove for the coil and serves to protcct the coil against injury. A disk 112a of non-magnetic material is preferably provided between the elements 39 and 43 to 117 represents as a whole a switch-board i which is mounted on the bed plate 2 by means of suitablebraces 118. The switchboard carries a number of incandescent lamps 119 which are connected in parallel and which are used as a'rheostat to regulate the voltage'of the current supplied tothe machine. T wo snap switches 120 are provided to control the circuits, and two carbon resistance pencils 121 shunt the coils of the clutches to guard the insulation@ against puncture by the inductive kick.
Attached tothe shear arm 35 is a clip 122 to which is'connected a rod 123 which engages with an automat-ic counter 124. This counter may be of any desired construction,
but I prefer to use a counter which is provided with means for interrupting the electric circuit after a certain predetermined` number of actuations. In this way the machine may be adapted for the cutting of a definite number of wires and for automatically stopping after this definite numberhas v been cut.
I prefer to provide the shaft 23 with a pulley 125 over which passes a belt 126 which engages asuitable groove127 formed ,on the spool 7. In this way the spool 7 is positively moved and the tension on the wire 8 is reduced. 4 y
As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, I provide electrical contact devices on t-he shear arm 35.
Mounted upon opposite sides of the shear arm ,are two insulating blocks 91 and 92 carrying contact plates 93 and 94, respectively. A pair of contact fingers 95 are provided to engage with the contact plate 93 when the shear arm is in its lower position. A pair of Contact fingers 96 are provided to engage with the contact plate 94 when the p shear arm is in its raised position.
The electrical connections will be understood from a study of Fig. 11. 'Current is'- led to the machine from the elements 119 and passes through one of the switches 120 to one of the contact fingers 95. Supposing the shear to be in its normal position, the arm 35 will be depressed and contact will be established by the plate 93 between the two ngers95. Supposing the cont-rolling switch to be in its normal position, contact will be established between the fingers 88 and 89 bythe plate 83. Suppe-sing the door 58- to be in its closed position, connection will be established between the contacts 99 and 97.
128 designates the circuit breaking device connected with the counter, and for present purposes this can be considered as closed. The current then passes through the circuit which has been described to the clutch 21 which serves to rotate the shaft 18 and the feed rollers 25 and 2G. The feed rollers continue to o-perate until the end of the wire engages the stop 64, whereupon the controlling switch is actuated andthe circuit is broken between the finger-S88 and 89 and `established between the fingers 85 and 86.
The clutch 21 is thus denergized and the feed rollers stop. Theclutch 43 is energized and the shear is act-uated. rIhe operation of the controlling switch is quiterapid and in order to prevent the transfer of current from the clutch 43 to the clutch 21 before the shearing operation is complete, I provide the - addi'tional contacts 95 and 96. As soon as the movement of the shear is started, the circuit is broken between the contacts 95, and established between the contacts 96. In this way the current to the clutch 43 is maintained until the completion of the shearing operation, regardless of. the action of the controlling switch, and in the same way the current is cut off from the clutch 21 until the shear has reached its inoperative position. When theproper number ofv wires have been cut, the counting device breaks the circuit at 128 and the operation of the feed rollers is stopped.
