Definitions
- the mounts each consisting of the stem and inner parts of the lamp, are continuously and in succession sealed into the bulbs on a single carriage, advantageously a rotary spider, which serves to convey the mounts and the bulbs, to the sealing-in po s'r tion and then tocon'vey the sealedin vessels to a position where they are exhausted and also if desired filled with gas, all without being changedin position on the spider which is preferably actuated step by step.
- a rotary spider which serves to convey the mounts and the bulbs, to the sealing-in po s'r tion and then tocon'vey the sealedin vessels to a position where they are exhausted and also if desired filled with gas, all without being changedin position on the spider which is preferably actuated step by step.
- chine serving to carry out this process and replacing the sealing-in machines and ex-. hau'st machines hltherto used can be so built that the lamps to be finished pass along a:
- Figs. 1 and 2' show the. mach1ne in dia-.
- Fig. 3 shows the exhaust tube of a Figs. 4 and 5show in elevation and plan the mechanism for actuating the devices for .a vertical section through a releasing and gripping the exhaust tubes set in the heads; k
- Figs. 8 and 9 show in elevation and in top "iew a rotary preheating and sealing-in burnery
- Fig..10 shows a vertical "section through a valve which responds to leaky lamps and .causesthem to be sealed off automatically be'- fore they interfere with the operation of the" vacuum pump;
- Fig. 11 shows ona larger sc ale'the sealing I off torch and discharge fork in the sealingoff position.
- the machine preferably made with a rotatable spider or turret, and adtantageously rotated .step by step, has, inthe example shown, twenty-four working positions which are marked-11 to 24in Fig. 2. Til the 'posi* tions 1 or 2 ,vthe mounts and bulbsare put in their respective/holders; inpositiofn 3 the bulb is lowered 'into place. over the mount;-
- the machine consists, as in the usual rotary exhaust machine, of a central stationary valve-seat a and a rotatable spider having a flat rotary valve I) fitted on the seatand fixed to a rotary shaft c.whi ch extends through the. stationary valve seat.
- the rotary valve has ports (Z arranged in a circle and corresponding in number to the working positions of the machine, which in each revolution of the splder successively .register with parts'in the valve seat a connected to the variouspipes leadlng into the stationary valve seat to establish connections through the valve with the atmosphere, the exhaust pumps, not shown, a compressed a1r reservoir, and also with a reservoir of inert gas for filling the lamps.
- the ports 03 of a the rotary valve 6 terminate radial tubes f -which open at their outer ends into theex- I I tube or flare k which has its outer end flared into a flange, the exhaust tube k being longer.
- Each exhaust heady consists as shown in Fig. 3, of a tubular boss 9 into whose central cylindrical bore, somewhat enlarged at the upper end, there is set a tubular rubber stopper I having conical upper and lower ends and fitted between two pressure rings 1 Z advantageously made of metal and each ,having a conical recess which fits the adjoining end of the stopper Z.
- the rubber stopper l and the cooperating metal rings l and Z have coaxial central bores so as to receive the small exhaust tubelz. on the. stem 71. of the mount it. Pivotedon the upper pressure ring l 'of the rubber stopper on pivots Z are cen-' tering jaws l for centering the exhaust tube 72.? and, having inclined cheeks Z.
- the centering jaws are embraced by a tension ring Z? which has atapered bore eooperat'mgwith .the inclined cheecks of the centering jaws and which is slidably mounted in an outer sleeve 9 of the ,head to be under the influence of a spiral spring I set into the head'and tending to hold the ringagainst the upper end g of the sleeve 9
- two rods m are slidably mounted in grooves 180 apart on the head.
- cap m is turned in such a direction that its inclined slots m pull down the pins m and with them therods m and the pressure ring Z the rubber stopper is compressed between the stationary pressure ring Z and the movable pressure ring Z until the walls of the bore of the rubber stopper bear in their entire or almost entire length tightly against the exhaust tube k of 'the mount as a result of the conical end surfaces of the stopper cooperating with the corre spondingly conical recesses in the rings Z and Z so that not only is the exhaust tube 72. connected airtight to the tube f opening into the head 9, but at the same time the mount is held fast in its position.
- the pressure ring Z is pulled down theclamping jaws 1 car-' ried by it and also the tension ring Z are simultaneously moved downward.
- the tension ring Z follows this downward movement however only for a part of the way, as
- the rotati'onof cap mt necessar for clamp positions of the spider, preferably in positions 1 and 2.
- positions 1 and 2 there arearranged vertically below the heads two rotatable and vertically movable keysn in two-stationary bosses n, which have upwardly sloping but relatively displaced bayonet slots n for controlling the guide pins n on the keys.
- To the lower ends of the keys are fixed pinions n, which are in constant engagement with the teeth of an off set double rack a The latter is at every step of the rotation of the machine moved lionce to the left and right through a pivoted lever n actuated by a cam disc n controlled by themachine drive.
- each key At the upper end of each key are two lugs n, which, when the keys are 1n the high position, engage correspondingly arranged lugs m of cap m and carrythem along in the direction of rotation of the keys.
- Cap m located to the right and on'the exhaust head at working position 2 has, on the contrary, by its rotation pulled downthe rods m, and thereby automatically brought the rubber stopper 1 and the centerin 'aws 1 into the clam in osition so that the 'new mount previously inserted by the attendant has in this working position 2, its exhaust tube clamped fast simultaneously with the release of the sealed off exhaust tube in position 1.
- the attendant can-also each time, after the release and .removalof the sealed off exhaust tube end, insert, at working position 1, a new mount into'the open rubber stopper, which then, when the head reaches the working position 2, is clamped fast automatically in the working position 2 during the release of the next following sealed off exhaust'tube end.- Whilst the heads still remain in the two working positions 1 and 2 shown, the rack moves, as shown by the arrows, into the right hand position.
- Thekeys n acting on the heads need not necessarily be placed in two adjacent working positions of the machine.
- the key which effects the clamping in of the newly inserted mount may, for example, be placed in working position 3 or 4;
- Each bulb holder consists ofa bulb holding fork i fixed to the upper end of a vertically movable rod 6
- Each rod i is slidably mounted in a fixed guide 1' which travels with the machine and is, during the time in which the heads and the holding forks travel through the sealing-in and exhaust positions, held in its lower position by a flat stop spring i fixed to-the guide 2' to enter an upper holding notch in the rod 2' in which position the bulb is setin the holding fork, encloses the mount it.
- the rods 71 Shortly before orduring the introduction of the bulbs into the holding forks the rods 71 are automatically raised so that they introduction of the bulbs can cause .no damage to the mounts h set simultaneously or shortly beforein the rubber stopper sy 1.
- a vertically (lisp aceable pull rod 79 which carries at its upper end a spring controlled pawl 2
- This pull rod is also actuated once by the drive of the machine at every stoppage of the spider, and is advantageously first pulled downand then pushedup.
- the pawl 12 engaging with a notch z" of the rod 2' carries along the rod by forcing back the pawl like spring i until at the end of the downward movement the pawl like spring '5 again snaps into the upper notch of rod 11 and thereby secures the rod, together with the holding'fork, in the low position.
- the gears 1' 1* rotated by the machine drive are always automatically stopped .when the spider is making a partial rotation to move' the holding devices with the mountsand bulbs from one position to the next, and stop in such a position that the bulbs pass unhindered through the tube forks and do not strike against one or the other tube forks.
- the gears are stopped by a locking gear, which acts on the vertical shaft 1'? of gear 7*.
- the locking gear consists of a locking wheel skeyed on shaft 1", a spring influenced locking pawl s and an actuating pawl 8
- the latter carries a roller 8 which runs on a cam disc s kept in continuous rotation by the machine drive.
- this roller 8 runs on the raisedcam part of'disc 8 with the result that the actuating pawl s takes the position shown in dotted lines and the looking pawl s is also pressed into the dotted line position against the actionof spring 8
- the locking wheel 8 is thereby released and during thestoppage of the machine renders possible a rotation of shaft 1" of the toothed wheels 1", r, r and of the-tube forks g together with tlie burners g
- the roller runs off theraised cam part, and the spring 8 comes into action and presses the pawls s s into the positions shown in full lines.
- the locking pawl s then prevents afurther rotation of the gears and holds the tube forks fast in a definite position ⁇ vhich allows free passage to the bulbs.
- the upper ends of the rotatable burner feed tubes g open into fixedly supported stufling boxes 9 into which gas is continually fed from a common source of supply.
- the tube forks g are advantageously arranged sothat they ca be adjusted in height.
- the tube forks g are screwed into the upper stationary framebox g? of every fork a sleeve g which receives the tube 9 and on the upper flange rim g of which there rests a connection g of tube with the interposition of a ball hearing 9.
- a pin and slot connection is provided between it and the tube.
- the adjustment in height of the burner flames can also be produced byarranging the burner nozzles to 'be adjustable.
- Such adjustable burner'nozzles can also he used with tube becomes possible by adjustment of the tubeforks and a fine adjustment of the same by the movement of the. burner nozzles.
- the outer sleeves g of every head is, shortly before the introductionpf every bulb into the first sealing-in posit on 4, raised so far that the narrower neck part 9 of the sleeve connecting with the end g 'em-' braces the exhaust tube 71. with the leading in wire -t and that the flange g of the sleeve comesto bear on the stem k of the mount.
- the flange of the outer sleeve 9 then forms during the'sealing-in process a support for I the stem of the mount so that the/mount cannot be fused into the bulb in a slanting position.
- the raising of the outer sleeve 9 ' is effected by means of a roller 9 arranged on the lower rim of the sleeve and which, before the head, together with the mountand bulb reaches working position 4', runs onto a stationary cam g of the machine. It is advantageous to so form the upper surface of the curved cam g that sleeve 9 is at first only partly raised and. is completely raised only shortly before coming into the second sealing-in position 5. Before the head leaves tlie last sealing-in position 8, the separation ofthe superfluous bulb neck iseifected close below-the stem h? at the sealing zone.
- a separated bulb neck k drops down and remains suspended on the outer sleeve 9 as shown "in dotted lines in Fig. 3.
- the roller 9 Shortly after the last sealing-in position 8 the roller 9 again runs off the stationary cam g", causing an automatic lowering of the outer sleeve g with a release of the protected exhaust tube.
- the superfluous bulb neck is hanging to the outer sleeve is automatically destroyed by two stationary checks at forming a narrow passage through which the upper part of the head passes in its travel from working position 8 to working position 9.
- the outer lead wires t secured to the inner end of the stem tube andextending down along the exhaust tube are automatically raised into a horizontal position, so that later on these wires are not in the way when the exhaust "tube is closed by fusion in the sealing-off positions and are not fused off.
- a lead wire bender comprising two double hooks w set to be tangential to the exhaust tube k of a mount in a head 9 and displaced relative to each other.
- These hooks may be mounted on stationary supports w so as to swing towardand away from. each other and thus supports 10. can, as shown, be'placed on the segment-like heating oven w-extending over the exhaust positions 11 to 23, or in any other desired manner.
- every lamp'is in the manner known in rotatable exhaust apparatus, connected several times to a pro-vacuum pump and to several fine pumps and automatically conne ted if desired to gas filling receptacles. hould a lamp have become damaged, perhaps by a defect in the sealing-in process, it
- This automatic sealing off of the defective lamp is controlled by'a valve 3 which is placed at .Working position 11 at the entrance to the oven and is in communication with that conduit of the stationary valve seat a which leads to the rough or pre-vacuum pump.
- This control valve g which is responsive toa leaky lamp conslsts, as seen 111 F1g. 10, of a closed casmg, containing two flexible diaphragms or membranes fl/ 3 mounted on opposite sides of a partition y in the casing.
- the two membranes form the outside walls of'two chambers 7 3 separated from each other by the partition 3 and are in communication with one another through a port in the partition controlled by a valve :1 on a stem 3 which extends through the intermediate partition 3 1
- the valye y ordinarily shuts oif the chambers 3 3 from each other, so that the combustion gas or combustion mixture fed to chamber 3 by conduit 1 cannot flow into chamber 1 and from this through conduit y to a sealing ofl' burner 3 mounted in the heating oven in position to fuse the exhaust tube of a passing lamp.
- the lowermost chamber y of the control valve is formed by the casing and'the lower membrane fi and is connected b conduit y with the prevacuum pump, and y conduit 3 through the rotary valve (1, b of the machine, with the interior of the lamp which is in the working position 11.
- Theuppermost'valve chamber y isformedby the casingand theupper membrane 3 and is connected with a constant vacuum which may be one of the fine vacuum pumps, by the tube 6 I conduit 3
- In thehppermost chamber there may be further provided to advanta e a spring a which by pressure on the upper-- most membrane y presses the valve disc 3 tightly to its seat.
- the different outer sleves g of the heads have, cooling jackets g which are continually traversed by a cooling liquid, for example water.
- the cooling liquid is advan- 'tageously fed through each cooling jacket 9 as shown in Fig. 1, by a supply-or distributing tube g and a discharge conduit 9" which delivers the cooling liquid to a collecting trough 2 advantageously displaced relativeto each other by 180, which, as soon'as the delivery through a conduit fork has been'pushed forward, seal of! the exhaust tube close to the stem.
- the lamp resting on the delivery fork but still dependent from the bulb holding fork i canthen be conveniently lifted out by the operator and deposited in a collecting container.
- the'sealed-oif and detached lamp can also be automatically lifted from the bulb holding fork i and be automatically deposited.
- the lamp resting on the delivery fork automatically drops into a converyorduct arranged beside the delivery fork.
- the delivery fork ara-dially movable to the machine is provided with a spring'catch'whioh catches and turns up any dependent lead wire during the forward movement of the delivery fork.
- the catch may consist for example, as shown, of a single arm lever 2 which is ordinarily held byfa spring, 2 against a stationary stop 2' and which carries at the forward (1 a'hook shaped spring a". In the forward movement of the fork a the bend .of the spring z strikes against-the 'exhaust tube 71.
- the number of working posltions on the machine maybe smaller or larger, accord ing to requirement,
- the sealing-off of the lamp can be done in two working positions instead of in one working position, and that in such manner, that in the first sealing-off position the exhaust tube is anerely fused shut, and then is entirely melted through in the second working position.
- the mode of movement of the sealingdn burners can also be done in various wa s'. Then too the means for bending over the le ding in I wires and for the sealing-off of the lamps may 1.
