DRAWN-STEEL COLLET AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME.
Applicatioxf filed December 18,1920. Serial No. 431,532.
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that we, CHARLES J. FANcHER and ROBERT A. JOHNSON, both citizens of the United States, residing at Windsor, in the county of Windsor and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Drawn-Steel Feed Collets and Methods of Making the Same, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to feed collets for metal working machines, bar forming machines, and'the like, and to the method of making the same, the object thereof being to provide a feed collet which can be readily and economically constructed in a very simple manner by drawing the same from a sheet metal blank, and which can be used with the same efficiently and effectiveness as the more expensively formed feed collets heretofore manufactured from solid stock.
Prior to our invention in the making of feed collets from sheet metal, it has been the practice to form feed collets of this general type from solid stock by boring out or drilling the same, and subsequently slotting the stock and forming the gripping portions. This process has been found in practice to be both expensive and wasteful, and furthermore, the feed collets formed thereby are neither as strong nor as durable as those manufactured in accordance with our improved methods.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and wherein like reference characters indicate similar parts throughout the various views, Figs. 1 and 2 are views illustrating metal blanks which may be used for making feed collets in accordance with our improved method; Figs. 3 and 4 and 5 illustrate successive steps in theoperation; Fig. 6 is a view illustrating an unformed feed collet; and Fig. 7 illustrates a completely formed feed collet.
The present improved feed collet is constructed from a sheet metal blank out either -in the form shown in Fig. 1 or in the form shown in Fig. 2. When a blank of either form is used, it is first drawn into the shape shown in Fig. 3 comprising a cup shaped or ofi'set portion 8, and a flanged portion 7 either of disk form if the blank in Fig. 1 is used or arm-formed if the blank in Fig. 2 is used. Accordingly therefore, Fig. 3 illustrates the first drawing step, which of course may be carried out by suitable mechanism provided for that purpose.
The incompleted blank shown in Fig. 3 is then further drawn into the shape shown in F g. 4, the portions 9 and 10 forming the body of the collet, the portion 10 being Fig. 1 is used, the next step in the formation of this improved collet, after the completion of the step illustrated in Fig. 4, is 'to cut away the disk 13 shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5 so as to provide a plurality of finger pieces 7, three being provided in the present case by way of illustration. These finger pieces 7 in some instances may, if desired, have parallel, side edges as illustrated in dotted lines at 18, or may be tapered or otherwise cut as shown in full lines in Fig'. 7 to form the elongated gripping portion 17 hereinafter described.
Thereupon the blank is further subjected to pressure by suitable mechanism, so as to draw the: finger pieces 7 into the positionshown in Fig. 6, thereby to cause them to extend substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the collet.
When the blank 6, such as shown in Fig. 2, is used, after the body portion 9 and the shoulder portion 10 are formed as illustrated in Fig. 4, thefinger pieces 7 are then drawn or bentinto the position shown in Fig. 6 wherein they project or extend substantially in the direction of the axis of the collet. At the completion of this operation, the feed collet is completely drawn, and it is then placed in a suitable forming or shaping machine, such as for instance, one similar to that shown and described in our contemporraneously pending application Serial No. 429,301 filed December 9, 1920. Thus through the operation of suitable instrumentalities the finger piecesare formed into substantially the shape shown in Fig. 7 wherein they are preferably given a tapered formation both exteriorly and interiorly as illustrated at 16. thereby to have substantially a conical shape, and terminating in a gripping or otherwise shaped elongated gripping portion 17, forming an extended gripping surface of less diameter than that of the body 9 and having a bore of any desired shape to conform to the size and shape of the work or stock to be successively gripped and fed.
Either before or after the fingers are formed and shaped, in the manner shown in Fig. 7, the end of the shoulder portion 10 is cut oil thereby to provide a lengthwise extending bore through the collet, and the shouldered end of the collet is threaded as at 12 whereupon the collet is completely formed and is in readiness for use.
As will be understood, the fingers 7 are highly resilient and the terminal portions 11, through which extend the axial bore corresponding substantially in size and shape to the work or stock to be successively gripped and fed, provide inner faces or surfaces adapted to grip resiliently the work.-
Of course the fingers may be varied as desired in the manner of their construction and shape, so as to conform to the various sizes of the work or bars of stock used, and to the shape in cross-section of such bars, rods or stock, i. e., round, hexagonal, square,
, etc.
