roncrrne MACHINE.

Application filed .Tanuary23, 1922, Serial No. 531,209. Renewed July 18, 1927.

My invention relatesto forging-machines. An ob ect of my invention is to provide an improved forging machine; Another object of my invention is to provide an i1nit proved forging machine having lIIlPI'OVECl means for adjusting a blank which is operated on thereby. A further object of my invention is to provide an improved forging machine which by the cooperation of a single pair of dies and suitable blank adjusting means can completely forge a blank into its finished form. Other objects and nadvantages of my invention will hereinafter more fully appear. y r

In the accompanying drawings I have shown for purposes of illustration, one form which my invention may assume in practice.

In these drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a forging machine constitut ng the illustrativeem bodiment of my invention. s

Fig. 2 1s a plan vlew thereof. Fig. 3 1s a detail central vertical section through the dies and blank adjusting means certain parts being shown in dotted lines in a different position. v

Fig. i is a detail end elevation on an en larged scale with parts broken away.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary section on the line 55 of Fig. 3. I

In the embodiment of my invention which I have elected to disclose for purposes of illustration, the same is mounted on a heavy base frame 1. Upon this base frame there is pivoted a yoke 2 pivoted upon a transverse axis as illustrated at 3 and carrying at its upper end a rotatably mounted die 4, 'cooperata ing with a stationary die on the base 1, hereinafter descrlbed, and provided with a pcripheral groove 5 whose cross section corre-f sponds to the desired shape of a finished blank. The yoke 2 is connected byv a connecting rod 6 to a crank shaft 7 and under r the control of foot operated clutch mechanism generally indicated at 8 is driven by a heavy fly wheel or driving pulley 9.

Disposed between the sides of the-yoke 2 and carried by the frame 1 is a stationary die 10 adapted to cooperate with the die 4 and adjustable by a screw 11 to take up wear, etc. Adjacent this die and in alinement therewith is a socket 12 adapted to receive a blank 13 andto support it in contiguity to the die 10 during the forgingoperation. It'will be noted that theyoke is so disposed upon the frame that the die 1 is oscillatable over a blank supported in, the groove 12 and adjacent the die 10 and, ob

serving Fig. 4, that the die 10 is a snug fit for theperipheral groove 5 in the die 4. Ar-

mechanism will be readily apparent. The

operating lever 16 will be moved to a position to bring the eccentric 1 1 into a position such that its radius of eccentricity is disposed at a considerable angle to the plane of the socket12. A heated blank 13 will he slipped into thesocket l2 and will slip down if it is a new blank to rest upon the periphery of the cam ofeccentric 14, or until it catches on the die 10 if an old drill bit.

The foot actuated clutch mechanism will be ranged transversely at the bottom of the operated to cause the yoke 2 to oscillate and the die 4 to be moved relative to the die 10. The hand lever 16 will then be turned to cause the cam to gradually protrude the blank in such manner as to cause it to be struck by the moving die t and formed between the stationary die and the grooved periphery of the moving die to the desired shape. Then the blank has been finished, it may be removed by a pair of tongs or in any other suitable manner. v Should'wear of the die 10 occur, it'can be adjusted by its screw 11.

While I have in this application specifi- ,said member about its pivot,

cooperates,

cally described one form which my invention may assume in practice, it will be understood that this form of the same is shown for purposes of illustration and that the invention may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit or the scope of the appended claims.
