C. SCHORN SHEARS WITH TWO MOVABLE BLADES Filed Sept. 3, 1924 Patented May 5, 1925.
l UNITED sTATEs PATENT OFFICE.
SHEARS WITH TWO MOVABLE BLADES.
Application n led September 3, 1924.
. To all whom it may concern:
to make and use the same.
M y invention relates to improvements in shears with two movable blades. The shears with two movable blades hitherto known, in which the slides are worked by motor power, have the drawback 0f a complicated driving gear.
The present invention relates to a new mechanically driven shearing machine, the driving gear of which isof very simple design. As per this invention, the two slides are actuated by a swinging lever, which in its swinging movement presses in opposite directions against both slides. According to the degree of resistance encountered by the slides, the pivotal aXis of this lever will be now in the one, now inthe other slide, i. e. always in the one that is at rest while the other one is being actuated by the swinging motion of the lever. This lever may be designed, for instance, as an angle lever connected with the driving gear, it will be supported in one of the slides and connected with the other slide in such a way that it may have its bearing or axis of rotation in this slide as well. For instance, the angle lever may be connected with the second slide bymeans of a link bar.
Owing to this design of the driving gear, the shears can be fittedrwith an efficient holding-down gear in a most simple manner. VThe shears hitherto known, could not be fitted with such a gear, unless aV hydraulically operated holding-down gear had been provided; this however necessitates a second source of power, thus making the shears more complicated in design and operation. Mechanically operated shears have, so far mostly been provided with a simple holding-down beam, which had to be adjusted by hand against the blank to be cut, in order to obtain a useful effect. As in these shears the blank is clamped between the top slide and a fastsupport, it follows that it will only be released by the shears when the bottom blade has reached its lowest Serial N0. 735,689.
position and the top blade has started its upward movement.
As per this invention, the shears are pro vided with an automatically operated hold-v ing-down gear, which by means of the swinging lever actuating the two slides is operated in such a way, that it will clamp the blank on to the bottom blade carrier in any position of the blades. Advantageously, the holding-down shoe is connected with the swinging lever by means of levers and spars carrying a countersweight for balancing the holding-down gear and the slides. The holding-down shoe follows the motion of the slides and adapts itself automatically to the thickness of the blank. It is so arranged that as soon as it sits down on the blank, it will slightly project underneath the bottom edge of the top slide. Advantageously it is made adjustable in height by fastening it to a rod that can be adjusted in length.
Two designs of construction are shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. l is a vertical section through the shears showing the holding-down gear in dotted lines;
r Fig. 2 is a front view of the blades,
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the shears, i
. Fig. 4 is a shearing machine in which the Yswinging lever is supported in the bottom slide,
Fig. machine fitted with a holding-down gear,
Fig. 6 shows the position ofthe holdingdown shoe when clamping the blank, before the cutting operation,
Figa 7 shows the beginning of the cut, and
Fig. 8 shows the position when the cut has been effected.
In the shears as per Figs. 1, 2 and 3 there are arranged in the frame or body a the top slide I) with the blade lo and the bottom slide c with the blade Z. The bottom slide has the shape of a hook and is connected by means of an articulated piece d with Aan angle lever e, which, at the point f, is supported in the top slide o; the lever e is connected at the point g by means of a draw bar h with. the driving eccentric i. When the draw bar 7i is being moved in the direc tion of the arrow, the angle lever e will have its point of rotation in the articulated piece d, because of the top slide being lighter than the bottom slide. Therefore, thetop 5' is a schematic view of a shearing' slide will move downward until the. tcp blade 7c rests on the blank m to be cut. Hereby increases the resistance which the slide offers to the lever and the angle lever e changes therefore its point of rotation by turning round the point f; consequently, the bottom slide now moves upwards thus effecting the cutting ofthe blank m.
lVhen the draw bar 7L. is being moved in the direction opposite to the arrow, the heavy bottom slide c will be moved downward iirstuntil'it pushes against a stop e, after which the angle lever will canse the top slide 0 to move upward.
At the moment when the top blade lo rests on'the blank m, the top slide Z) will be firmly pressed against the supporting faces n of the body a in accordance with the shearing action which now takes place. Consequently, the top blade will exercise no pressure on the bottom slide c so as not to increase the shearing effort by high friction.
Instead of eccentrics, the draw bar can of course also be put in motion by any other suitable means such as hydraulic cylinders and the like. l
As the body of the shears is only put to compressive stress and not to tensile stress or bending load, it can be made of a lighter design and therefore carried out more economically in spite of the heavy compressive stress to which Ait will be subjected.
In the shears as per Fig. 4, the angle lever e is supported at'the point p in the bottom slide,'v.fhereas its free end is connected with the top slide b by means of the articulated piece 0. Of' course, the design of this may be carried out in different ways.
Figs. 5 to 8 show a shearing machine with two movable blades, fitted with an automatically operated holding-down device. The angle lever e is connected by means of a rod 91 with the lever s, the free end 0f which is in contact with the rod t extending to the holding-down shoe u. The axis x of the levers is provided with a lever w for the counter-weight. The holding-down shoe u willbe so adjusted that when resting on the blank my it will project beneath the 'bottom edge of the top slide b. Advanta geously, the rod t is made adjustable in length in order to permit an adjustment of the' holding-down shoe u.
Theworking operation will be as follows:
When the top blade moves downward, the point f, in which the angle lever e is supported, will likewise descend; consequently, thev lever sis swung down by the rod r and the lholding-down shoe descends with the top slide. The blank will be clamped between the holding-down shoeul and the bottom slide c. IVhen "the point of rotation of the anglelever is now changed and the bottom slide' isflifted', the holding-down shoe u mo'ves upwards lwith the latter', as the point of rotation of the angle lever is now at f, and the lever s, carrying the rod t, is pulled upwards. The blank m remains therefore in a clamped position in exactly the same manner even during the cutting process.
Figs. G and 7 show the position of the holding-down shoe before and after the cut. ln its upward' movement, the bottom slide lifts at first the blank by the measurement e, by which dimension the holding-down shoe projects beneath the bottom edge of the top slidey andthe cutting operation then commences.
As soon as the cut has been effected, the piece cut off can be readily carried od by the roller table when the gage g/ is in its raised position. The blank at the left hand of the blades, i. e. in front of the shears is however still clamped-in. The bottom blade now moves downward and with it the holding-down shoe, which immediately afterwards returns in its original positionand releases the blank in front of the shear. In its descent, the holding-down shoe'straightens the bent end of the blank and the blank then passes through the shears advanced by the roller table,-the cut piece having been carried off before by the roller table, as mentioned heretofore,-whereas in the shears hitherto known', the cut piece at the rear of the shears will only be released at the moment when the blank is released and carried oif by the roller table at the same time when the blank is being advanced, which means a considerable loss of time that is entirely avoided in my design.
