ARBOR FOR Application :filed September .To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, HENRY L. DEMMLER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Kewanee, in the county of Henry and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Arbor for Core Boxes. of which the following is aaspecification.

My invention relates to arbors for core making, handling and casting, and'is more particularly designed for use with core making apparatus of the character described in my Patent #1,480,747 issued January 15, 1924. As explained in this Patent #1,480,- 747 a mold or core box is clamped against a sand container from which sand is forced into the mold or core box by compressed air. y

"` every portion or recess of the core box, so

that' when the core box is removed the core will be firmly supported upon the arbor and of the exact conformation desired.

One of the primary objects of my invention is to provide a core arbor construction which will not only permit the escape of the air from within the core along the stem of the arbor, but will also have means extending into portions of the core remote from the arbor and the tuyres in the core mold box through which the sand is driven. by the compressed air.

A further object of the invention is to provide an arbor structure which is collapsible, for removal through an opening in the casting after the casting has been made by the core and a collapsible arbor structure wherein the component parts will be held in interlocking relation when positioned for molding operations. n

A still further object of the invention is to provide a combined collapsible arbor and reenforcing means for core constructiono conn Boxes.

ze, 1924. serial no. 740,451.

Other objects will be appreciated and understood from the description and claims and from the drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is a longitudinal diametral section of the core box and core arbor con structed in accordance with one form of my invention and Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the core box shown in F ig. 1 taken on the line 2-2 thereof.

The core box and arbor illustrated in the drawing comprise a mold formed in two

portions

2 and 4 which may be fitted to gether in any suitable manner and are of the shape, on the interior thereof, of the core to be made. hrough portions of the wall I forni a number of perforations or tuyeres 6 through which core making sand is blown by compressed air as described in the patent above mentioned. These tuyeres 6 may be formed through the walls at any desirable points, although in the preferred form illustrated I have shown them as passing through the top member 2 of the core box.

An arbor stem generally designated 8 is arranged to be supported horizontally or otherwise within the core box and has out-- wardly tapered portions 10 and 12 which are arranged to engage in tight fitting relation to tapered ring stopper members 14 and 16 placed over the ends thereof and forced into the openings provided by outwardly projecting portions 18 and 2O of the portions of the core box. The stem 8 is also provided with tapered portions 22 and upon which hanger members generally designated 24 are secured by means of corresponding tapers formed on the inner faces of two of their adjacent interlocking parts. These hangers 24 may be composed of two, three or more interlocking parts 26, 28 and 30 (3 interlocking'parts shown in the drawing) and are assembled about the stem 8 on untapered portions thereof and held in interlocking relation through interlocking shoulders 32, 34 and 36 by any suitable means, as for instance, by hand, until they have been moved longitudinally of the ,stem to engage their interiorly tapered faces with 'the tapered faces 22 of the stem.. At this point the 1( wedging action of the taper 22 forces the interlocking shoulders 32, 34: and 36 into tight and relatively permanent engagement from which kthey can be displaced only by driving out the stem. After the casting has been made the stem S is driven out by tapping it on the end, whereupon the several portions of the interlocking hanger members will be disengaged and may be Aremoved through the openings in Vthe casting corresponding to the portion of the core between the liared portions 18 and 2O of the core box.

In order to permit the escape of the air blown into the mold with the sand and from all portions of the core being formed, l provide this stem with a series of the perforations 38 which are of such sizer that the air may pass out into the hollow central portion a() thereof and thus out the ends. 1Each member 26, 28 and 30 of the hangers 24 is provided on its interior with passageways which inter-communicate and with openings 42 and 44C in the stem. The member 30 may be arcuate, as shown in Fig. 2, or of any desirable shape and configuration but at suitable points, l provide number of minute perforations 46 communicating between the exterior and the hollow interior. These perforations 46 are of substantially7 the same size and character and perform the same function as those in the stem indicated at 38. They may be placed as may be best determined by practice, in positions where they will thoroughly afford egress of the air from the mold or sand during the core formation.

From the foregoing description it willbe clear that- V haveY not only. provided a novel arbor construction, but l have provided a runicpae/ arrangement lwhereby 4the cores may `be Amade, homogeneous, throughout and as well providewacore arbor andcorereenforcing means which may be readily assembled and4 dissembledfrom withinl the casting. herefore, l do not wish to be limited to the details of the construction shown or described for many equivalent structures will be readily perceived. and come within the spirit and scope of the invention anddeinitionof the appended claims.
