POWER-DISQHAEGING Ron REEL.
Application filed October 29, 1924.
As indicated, the present improvements relate to mechanism for coiling; rod, wire, or like drawn product, as it is received from the, mill. One object of the invention is to provide a machine for this purpose in which the coil being formed remains stationary during the coiling thereof, the product being wound upon a suitable mandrel that constitutes in effect a stationary reel by be ing carried thereto through a rotating head. A further object isto provide easily operated means for discharging the finishedcoil to a conveyor or the like whereby it may be removed from the machine.
To the accomplishment. of the foregoing and related ends, the invention, then, con,- sists of the means hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims, the annexed drawings and the following de scription setting forth in detail certain mechanism embodying the invention, such disclosed means constituting, however, but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.
In said annexed drawings Fig. 1 is an end elevation of a rod coiling machine embodying my present improvements, such machine including power means for discharging the finished coil; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of such parts with certain operative parts shown in section; Fig. 3 is in part a vertical transverse section and in part an end elevation of the machine, the plane of such section being indicated by the line 8-3, Fig. 2, and such end elevationbeing taken as viewed from the right in said Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a viewsimilar to Fig.1 3 but showing a modification. i
The coiling mechanism proper is mounted in the upper overhanging portion 1 of a substantial frame 2 and includes as one principal element a rotating head 3, suitably journaled in a vertical bearing 4 in such overhanging portion. Such head is of general cylindrical form and is provided with a laterally projecting flange 5 that rests on the bearing and serves to hold the head in proper endwise position. Fixedly secured within the head is a hollow guide member 6 the bore of which is of tapering form, as shown in Fig. 2, and attached toE the lower end of said guide member-so as to be carriedalong therewith is a deflector of general: conical formon the outer surface of which are attached supplemental guide members For the purpose of rotating Serial No. 746,709.
It will be understood that the rod, wire or I like drawn product is received from the mill in the bore of guide member 6' and is thence carried down the flaring side. of deflector T by means of the guides 8 on the latter tothe reel, which will now be described.
Below the overhanging portion 1 of main ra 2 is an pe r tan ula f ame 3 which servesto support the stationary reel around which the rod or similar" drawn product received in the manner just described from the rotating head 3 is designed to be coiled. This reel is in the form of a hollow drum made up off two similar semicylindrical sections 16, the juxtaposed edges 17 of such sections being cut away or rounded, as best shown in Fig. 3, Each such drum section is carried by a'pair of oscillatory arms 18 fixed on a corresponding horie zontally disposed shaft 19 that is journaled in suitable bearings 20 in said frame 15. The shafts 19- project to the left, as viewed in Fig. 2, beyond main frame 2, the corre-.
'sponding end of each shaft being journaled in a supplemental bearing 21 provided on an upright frame member 22. Intermediately of main frame 2 and such uprights 22 there. is provided an open rectangular rack member 24, that is adapted to be vertically reciprocated by meansof a piston rod 25 and piston 26, the latter being contained in a vertically disposedcylingder 27 to which a suitable pressurefluijd may be supplied when desired; Each side of rack member 24; is formed with teeth 28 constituting the rack proper, each such rack meshing with a pinion 29 fixed on the adjacent shaft 19. In order properly to, guide the racl; in its up and down movemennrods 30 are at tached to its upper transverse portion, such rods being slidably held in bearingS31 on the main frame of the machine.
Surrounding the drum or reel composed of the two semi-cylindrical parts 16 is a circulfar guard 32, such guard being removed a nfficient di tanc it m the drum to, P r-- mit a coil of desired size to be wound in the annular space thus provided. The arms 18,
it will be noted, when in normal horizontal ative position beneath the coiling head, is a second floor 35 that. forms part of a conveyor trough, and a conveyor chain 36 that carries fingers 37 is disposed so as to travel beneath such trough with said fingers projecting through a slot 38 therein.
Having thus described the construction and operation of the several component parts of my improved machine, the operation of the same as a whole may now be briefly set forth. As already indicated, the drum parts 16 are normally supported in their raised or closed position, as shown in full lines in Fig. 3, this being accomplished by supplying pressure fluid to cylinder 27 so as to force piston 26 and thus the rack frame 2 1 into their uppermost positions. In this situation the coil G is formed in the annular space between the drum .16 and the circular guard 32 by guiding the rod or wire through the rotating head into such space, as will be readily understood. l/Vhen the coil has been completed, the rack frame 24 is allowed to drop and as a result the arms 18 with attached drum parts 16 will swing into the positions shown in dotted outline in Fig. 3, such arms and drum parts now lying entirely without the space defined by the circular guard 32. As an incident to this movement of the drum parts, the coil will drop under gravity onto the supplemental floor 32 where it will be picked up by one of the conveyor fingers 37 and carried away.
In the modified form of the machine illustrated in Fig. 4:, the construction is the same as that hereinbefore described except for the drum. Said drum 40 instead of being of sectional construction'as in the case of drum 16 with the respective parts supported on the arm 18 that constitute the floor of the annular space in which the coil is formed, is in one piece and is supported from the deflector 7 Since the drum requires to be stationarily held during the coiling operation, the connection between the same and the deflector is such as to permit the free rotary movement of the deflector and the head which carries the latter with respect to said drum. To this end, the deflector is formed with an inturned flange 41 and the drum with an overlapping outwardly directed flange 12 and an annular ball bearing 43 is interposed between the two flanges. The arms 44 correspond exactly with the arms 18 and are operated in identically the same manner, the only diflerence in their construction being that they do not carry sectional drum parts. They are however formed with serrations 415 or equivalent elements that are adapted to interlock with complementary elements 46 on the lower edge of the drum 4:0, when said arms are raised into their horizontal positions. When thus raised, the arms, it will accordingly be seen, serve in effectto support the drum and in any event hold the same against rotative movement without in any way interfering with the free rotation of the head and deflector. When the coil is complete, the arms are dropped away just as before so as to clear the annular space between the drum and the circular guard 32 and thus allow the coil to drop onto the conveyor table below.
As shown in Fig. 2, the deflector 7 it will be noted, is provided with a guide member 8 diametrically opposite the guide 8 hereinbefore referred to. This second guide may be brought into operative relation with the bore in the hollow guide member 6 by rotating the deflector through a half circle and in any event serves as a counterbalance to the guide 8 so as to insure the smooth operation of the head.
Other modes of applying the principle of 7 my invention may be employed instead of the one explained, change being made as regards the mechanism herein disclosed, provided the means stated by any of the follow ing claims or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.
I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention 1.
