SAND-BLAST MACHINE.
Application filed March 26, 1923. Serial No. 627,680.
Our invention relates to sand blast ma chines, and particularly to apparatus of the rotary drum type.
Among the o )jccts of our invention may be mentioned (1) The automatic recovery of the blast sand for re-use;
(2) The cleansing of the sand by a counter draft to remove dust and like particles therefrom so that the sand is kept in the best condition for its effective operation;
(3) A more eflicient blast mechanism;
(4) A simple and rugged constructirm oi the barrel elements including ready accessibility for repair;
(5) An-improved drive for the barrel;
(6) Various features of detail construction hereinafter pointed out or illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- Fig. 1 is a broken elevation of the chargingend of an apparatus in which our invention is embodied in oneform;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line 2-2, Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a broken elevation of the elevator end of the machine;
Fig. 4 is a broken plan of the elevator drum; and
Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5-5, Fig. 2.
The present apparatus is of the self-contained type and in certain particulars is related to its prototypes in the Dreisbach Patent No. 948,271, February 1, 1910, and the copending application of G. E. Billings Serial No. 627,693, and our copending application Serial No. 627,679, (now Patent No. 1,661,93 both filed herewith.
While the invention is capable of embodiment in various constructions, we have illustrated an apparatus which is simple and efficient. It comprises a rugged sheet metal barrel body 6, perforated at 7 to form a cylindrical screen for the reception of the castings or other articles to be sanded. The screen is clamped between the webs 8 and "9 of the bearing rin s 10 and 11 by means of the tie bolts 12. The draw-up nuts 13 of the latter are exposed at the charging end of the barrel and are thus readily accessible for removal.
At one end the barrel is closed by a head 14 centrally apertured at 15 to admit a blast nozzle 16, and secured to the web 9 of the bearing ring 11 by bolts or rivets 17. At its opposite end'the barrel is closed by a semicircular head 18 to which is hinged at 19 a complementary semi-circular door 20. The head 18 is into ral with an annular flange 21 which is detac iably fastened by cap screws to the web 8 of the bearin ring 10. Latches 23 carried by the door and engaging keepers 24, secured to the web 8 of the bearin ring 1i), hold the door 20 normally closed. The door 20 and head 18, as well as the head 14, are all protected against wear by renewable lining plates 25 s aced from their inner faces by bosses tappe to receive securmg screws 26. In order to thoroughly ventilate the blast chamber, the door 20, head 14, and also the head 18, if desired, are perforated by holes 27, the draft escaping around the margin of the plates 25.
Surrounding the body 6 of the drum, but spaced therefrom, is a lighter sheet metal shell 28 which encloses the tie bolts 12 and forms an annular chamber 29 for the recc tion of the sand which passes through t c perforations of the screen bod 6 after sifting through the charge of castings; Within the annular chamber and secured to the shell 28, is arranged a spiral rib 30 extending from.
end to end of the barrel and serving as means for causing the automatic return of the sand to the elevator end of the barrel.
The web 9 of the bearing ring 11 is apertured at appropriate points 31 to permit the esca e of the sand delivered by the spiral 30 to tie elevator drum 32. The latter is of Within the upper portion of the drum is arranged a chute 138 into which the sand is discharged by thebuckets 36 of the channel 33, which receives the sand directly from the drum through the ports 31. A guard late 39 at the top oi. the chute extends toward and lies adjacent the ring partition 35, to pre vent the escape of thesandinto the channel 34 on its discharge from the buckets 36. At its lower end the chute 38 is oflset and its discharge port 40 is arranged to deliverto imaem the drum may be halted when the door 0 ning is down and the castings be then rake out -or rotation may be continued until the castings work out automatically.
Various modifications in details of construction will readily occur to those dealing with the roblem Without departing from what we c aim as our invention.
