COLLAPSIBLE TAPEB-THREAD-CUTTING TOOL.
Application filed January 12, 1920. serial No. 350,867.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a collapsible tapering tap.
One object of the invention is to provide adevice of the character described, which has been specially designed for the purpose of cutting tapered threads, and which may be driven with much less power than is required to drive taps now in common use.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described by means of which either external or internal threads may be cut, and the particular object sought to be obtained is to provide a collapsible tap whereby a tapering box may be internally threaded and a correspondingly tapered pin may be externally threaded, said pin being designed to be screwed on to said box.
A further object of the invention is to provide a tap of the character described which may be readily collapsed and released from the work, when the thread has been completed so that the tap may be readily withdrawn without injury to it or to the threads.
A further feature of the invention resides in the provision of a device of the character described which is simple in construction and operation and by means of which the work to be done may be quickly accomplished.
l/Vith the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation, and arrangementof parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein Figure 1 is a side View of the form of tap used for cutting external threads, shown partially in section. V
Figure 2 is an end view thereof,
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 3, 3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a side view of the chaser carrier,
Figure 5 is an end View thereof,
Figure 6 shows a side elevation, partially in section of the form of tap used for internal threading.
Figure 7 is an end view thereof.
Figures 8 and 9 show plan and side views, respectively, of the chaser carrier employed in this form of tap, and
Figure 10 is an end view thereof.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numeral 1 refers to the chaser support which in this instance is a die block, into the outer end of which one end of the shank 2 is threaded and the other end of said block 18 formed with an outwardly tapering socket 3 provided to receive the tapering pin 4 whlch 1t is proposed to externally thread. The outer end of the shank 2 carries the holder 5, for connection to the lathe turret or drill press and slidably mounted upon the shank 2 there is a guide 6 disc like in form. The side of this guide facing the die block has the radiating dove-tailed grooves 7 therein into which the outer ends of the chaser carriers 8 are fitted, said carriers being slidable in said grooves and the grooves are inclined, relative to the axis of the shank, so that the carriers 8 will diverge. These carriers arefitted through the corresponding bearings 9 of the block 1 so that when the guide 6 is moved toward the die block the carriers will be forced apart and when said guide is moved from. said block, the carriers will move toward each other. The inner wall of the die block 1 has the radiating grooves 10 which form bearings for the chasers 11. These chasers are fastened to the respective carriers 8 and are blade like in form and their inner edges are serrated forming cutting teeth which are given the required angle for cutting the desired form of threads.
When it is desired to thread the pin 4, the guide 6 is moved back from the block 1 the required distance and the blank pin to be threaded is then started between the chasers 11 and held stationary or rotated while the device is rotated or held stationary by a lathe turret or drill press or other suitable means. The die will feed itself and will cut the threads as it is rotated. When the pin is completely threaded the block 1 is moved toward the guide 6, the shank 2 sliding through said guide, thus causing the chaser carriers and the chasers carried thereby, to move apart thus releasing them from the threads and the die may then be readily withdrawn from the work.
In the form shown in Figures 6 to 10 inclusive, the numeral 12 designates a die chaser support which in this instance is a block which is fixed to the shaft 13 and slidably mounted upon this shaft there is the carrier guide 14: having the radiating dovetailed grooves 15 out in the side thereof facing the tap block. The chaser carriers 16 have one end dovetailed into said grooves and these carriers work through corresponding bearings 17 in the die block 12 and their other ends carry the bladelike chasers 18, whose operative edges are serrated to form internal threads in the tapering box 19.
In operation the guide 14 is adjusted on the shaft 13 to the required position to begin the work and the tap is then rotated through a drill press or other, suitable means.
The chasers take hold of the material of the box 19 and gradually t'eed themselves in, cutting the threads as the carriers are rotated until the stop 20 carried by the block 12 strikes against the end of the box at which point the block 12 is held axially stationary and the threads already cut lead the chasers, together with the chaser carriers, and carrier guide, farther into the box 19 until the required length of thread is cutwhen the stem 13 and block 12 are wit drawn thus closing the chasers until the threads are cleared when the entire tap is withdrawn without backing out or injury to the threads or chasers.
