This invention relates to machines for feeding headed blanks 'with their headed ends' upward, and more particularly to an attachment for continuousl feeding such 5 blanks to a threadingslott1ng, riveting or other similar automatic machine.
One objectv of the invention is to provide a machine of the above nature which will be simple, cheap to manufacture, easy to install, and very eiiicient and durable in use. With this and other objects in view. there has been illustrated on the accompanying drawings one form in which the invention may be conveniently embodied in practice.
invention disclosed in Letters Patent #1,104,029, granted to Karl Weiss on July 21 1914. lig. 1 represents a top plan view ofa blank feeding attachment together with a portion of an automatic machine to which the blanks are to be fed, certain parts being This inventlonis an improvement over the stifl'ening rib 17, said'rib having an enlarged central boss 18 formingone 'bearing for a shaft 19 of .a blank YJfeeding bucket wheel 20. The other end of the shaft 19 is adapted to fit within an enlarged. boss 20* projecting inwardly from the blank holdmg section of the ho per. The bucket wheel 20 is adapted to riven in a clockwise directlon as viewed in Fig. 3 byany suitable mechanism, but in the preferred embodiment herein disclosed, the lshaft 19 is provided with a vertical worm wheel 21 located at a point outside lthe hopper and adapted to mesh with a. vhorizontal worm 22 carried by a driving shaft 22 mounted in bearings 23 and v24: parallel to the hopper 10. The drivmg shaft 22l is provided at its opposite end with a two-step cone pulley 24* adapted to be driven byy a suitable belt, not shown.
feeding bucket Wheel, shown detached from the remainder of the machine.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view, on an enlarged scale, and with arts broken away, of the 3o bucket wheel andjthe guide way for directingvthe headed blanks into the chute.
1 s'cale,gof a portion of the chute and the cover rail for reventing blanks escaping upward- Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the same on a slightlyv reduced scale.
Fig. 7 is a detailed view partly in section of the clutch mechanism, by means of which 40 the blank feeding wheel is detachably conffnected to a source of ower'. v
' 'Referring now to t e drawings in which like reference numerals denote corresponding parts throughout the several views, the
The blank feeding bucket wheel 20 comprises a hollow vcylindrical member having a fiat face 29 and a continuous guter rim 30, the -cylindrical member being open at its outer side. A series of buckets 31 are pressed out .of the metal of the inner flat face of the bucket wheel. The buckets are closed at their tops by the rim 30 of the bucket wheel,
and are provided with flat base sections Y parallel te the flat face 20.y Each bucket l3l .I
1s providedat its forward end with a laterlally inclinedA end wall adapted to deflect buckets are moving upward y, and to de. vliver said blanks to a guide way 3 4 leading to an inclined chute when the buckets are. traveling downwardly.
l j The guide Way 34 is provided withv a-pair of diverging flanges 36 and 37, the flange 36 The :an incline the rejecting w eel 28. has a notched groove in its circumference of said yguide wa being sufficiently spaced frniiiithe flat sur ace 29 ofthe bucketi wheel permit' blanks to freely pass therebechute 35 by' means ofwhich theblanks are delivered to theautomatic machine whereby they. are to be used. The -chutei 35 is' .provided with vertical parallel ,side `sections spaced apart Iso as to admit onlythe1 necks of the blanks. The chute is 'oint slightlybelow yhe rejectingwheel which just receives thelieads of blanks lying in'pro er position in vthe chute 35'and per t em to slide down-freely, All blanks `trennt-in proper position in the chute, howvenere engagedj-by'thefnotches of there- 4 ectingl wheel 28andy 'thrownback :int'io'tlle @fren n order to prevent-any possibility'offfthe .l-bunks jum ingr. out ofthe portion cfne I 'chute'outsi e the hopper, acover railf38,

@The hop er is su ported in position' by means of a ase portlJon'43 which lits within a'zgroove 44 in a supporting member 45. The st tlpportin'g member 45'is secured in any suitemanner as by bolts 46't-o the base 47 of the machinefreceiving the'blanks. In order; to permit the bucket wheel to be' operated by ,j. 'l1and, whenever deslred, the worm wheel`21 -is Ioosel mounted onthe shaft 19,'and is 1 provide with a seriesof sockets 48 within ,which a series of pins 4 9 of a clutch member v A 50 are adapted to seat, asfclearlyvshown inl Fig. 7. The opposite end 'of the shaft 19 `from thev clutch 'member 49 is provided with :a hand wheel 51 rigidly secured thereon. A
spiral spring 52 is located on the 'shaft 19 between the cover plate 12 and the hub of the hand wheel 51 in order to exert pressure o n the shaft to-normally keep the pins 49 of the clutch 50 in engagement with the Asockets 48. When it is desired to operate the ide way -34 feeds the blanks' l saidv whe side buckets o jecting into the ho the buckets of the blank feeding wheel are f located on one side instead of on the end of the wheel. By means of this construction, the headed blanks will be more positively delivered to the chute.
While there has been disclosed in this" specifcation one form in which-'the inven- "tion may be embodied, it is to be understood that this form is shown for the purpose of illustration only, and that the invention is not to be limited to the 'specific disclosure,
ous other forms 'without departing from-its spirit. In short, the invention includes vall but may' be modified and embodied in vari-v 1 4 -s'up'p'iorted. in any suitable manner, and is" 'jidapted to extend through a suitableiopeng fingingthe hop. er at a the modifications and embodiments coming' within the scope of the followingclaims.
' Havin thus fully describedthe invention,
l'what is c aimed as new, and for which it is desired to'secure Letters Patent, is:
-l-1. In, a blank feeding machine, a ho'puer adapted to Acontain a quantity of hea ed blanks, a feed wheel mounted to rotate verti- -callywithin the hopiergand located'adjacentv one side thereof, sai
feed wheel having side buckets gpening only on the 'inner side of and facing-'into the holpper vawzy 'l "from the side with whichthe w eel isa jacent, and adapted to' collect blanks from 'I 5 the body of said hopper, and an inclined chute.' projecting Aintothe 'hopper and arranged parallel and contiguous to said feed'.
wheel, for receiving the blanks fed from said ward end" with a late y inclined end wall alaplted todeflect blanks toward the front o t feed wheel, each bucket rovidedat its' fore feed 'wheel 'and tothe inclined chute.
2, In a blank feeding machine, a -hop er I adaptedv to contain a quantity of hea ed blanks, a feed wheel mounted to lrotate verfrom the side with which the w eel is Lacent and adapted to collect blanks from the 1145 v tically within the hopperv and located a lja'A i .cent one side thereof, said feed wheel having 1 only .on'the inner"sidev of I said wheel an facing into the holpper awa ady 120 od of said hopper, drivin mechanism for sai feed wheel, and an inc 'ned chute pro-V per and arranged contignous' to said f wheel for receiving the blanks fed from said feed wheel, each bucket' provided at its forward end wall with a laterally inclined end wall adapted to deflect blanks towardthe front of the said wheel and toward the inclined chute, said feed wheel being detachably connected to the driving mechanism. 3.1n a blank feeding machine, a hopper adapted to contain a quantity of headed blanks, a feed wheel mountedto rotate vertically within the hopper and located adjacent one side thereof, said feed wheel having side buckets open only on the inner side of.
said Wheel and facing into the hop er away from the side with which the whee is adjacent and adapted to collect blanks from the body of said ho per, and an inclined chute pro]ecting into t e hopper and arranged contiguous to said feed wheel, for receiving the blanks fed from said feed wheel, each bucket providedv at its forward end wall with a laterally inclined end wall adapted to deflect blanks toward the front of the feed wheel and toward the inclined chute, and means for reventing blanks from escaping upwar y from said chute.
4. In a blank feeding machine, a hopper adapted to contain a quantity of headed blanks, a feed wheel mounted to rotate verticall within the hopier and located along onel side thereof, said eed wheel having side buckets o eningonly on the inner side of In testimony whereof, weh'ave aixed our signatures to this Ispecification.
