Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK FEELING DEVICE Application led July 14,
This invention relates to feeding devices, and more particularly to a device for feeding rubber compound in stripl form to an ex trusion machine for insulating wire.v
The primary object of this invention is to provide a simple and effective material feeding means which is responsive to a predetermined condition for varying the rate at which the material is advanced.
In order to attain these and other objects and' in accordance with the general features of the invention, one embodimentthereof includes a mechamsm wherein rubber compound in strip form is intermittently engaged and fedv forward linto an extrusion machine by a plurality of teeth reciprocated by a cam and a lever arrangement which are controlled by the extrusion' screw. The strip is maintained in its advanced positions by fixed teeth, and the-length of the feeding stroke is automatically decreased upon an `overfeed of `the material.
, `For a better understanding of this invention reference is made to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front end view of an extrusion machine with the feeding device attached' in operative position thereto;
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the feeding device takenA on line 2-2 of IFig. 1;
Fig-3 is4 a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2 showing the feeding device fastened to an extruding machine, and
Fig. 4 is a detailed elevational view of the feeding device as viewed` on line 4 4 of Fl. 3. eferringnow to the drawings wherein like numerals are employed to designate similar parts throughout the several views, a plurality of teeth 10 are fastened by means of screws 11 to a strip 12, which strip is fastened with screws 16 to a reciprocable slide 17. This slide is reciprocated in, a longitunal opening 18 in a bracket 19 and is held in a retractedposition by a spring 23 havin one of its ends fastened to a lug 24 which 1s integral with the slide 17 and the opposite end of the spring being secured to the end of a 1927. Serial No. 205,822.
The upper extremity of the lever 41 carries a horizontal arm 47 to which is fastened a link lT'he feeding device just described is fasf tened by means of bolts 56 to a throat portion 57 of the extrusion machine 31, as clearly `shown in Fig. 3.' Upon rotation of the cam 32 the roller 34 will follow the surfaces of the raised portion 33 and arm 35 will be swung outwardly. rThis motion is transmitted to the plunger 42, and if the pressure occasioned by the teeth 10 bearing against the strip'27 is less than the pressure necessary to compress the spring 44, the slide 17 and associated teeth will be advanced against the opposing pull of spring 23. rlhis movement carries the compound strip 27 forwardA into the throat 57 of the extrusion machine 31 where the rotating screw 30 forces it outward into a wire extruding device (not shown). In the event -44 through the action of the plunger rod 42.
In the operation of the feeding device, the belt 28 driven by a source of power (not shown) rotates the extrusion screw 30 and the cam 32 attached thereto. Rotation of the camcauses the actuation ofthe bell-crank 35 which is connected to the material advancing slide 17. The outward swing of the bell-crank forces the slide 17 forward against the opposing pull of the sprin 23. This forward movement causes the teet 10 of the slide to en age the strip material 27, thereby feedin it om a reel or other supply (not shown and to continuously advance the material into the extrusion screw. From the foregoing it will be understood that the invention provides a very effective means for expeditiously and continuously feeding strip material to a screw mechanism or other suitable receiving means.
Although the invention as herein described and illustrated is particularly well adapted for use in connection with extrusion machines, it should be understood that the novel features are capable of other applications and.
ap ended claims.
