15 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in rod bending machines, and the object of the invention is to devise means for simultaneously effecting a plurality of bends in a straight rod.
A further object is to devise means for facilitating the starting of the bending operation.
A still further object is to construct a machine which, by the changing of the elements of the bending mechanism, will produce a bent rod in which the bends are differently disposed and may be either uniform or variable.
My machine is particularly applicable for form ing from straight rods Z or zig-zag skeleton webs for structural shapes or for forming reinforcing rods for concrete constructions, it being understood that the web so formed has all its bends disposed in the same plane.
With the above and other objects in View which will hereinafter appear as the specification proceeds, my invention consists, in its preferred embodiment, of the construction and arrangement all as hereinafter more particularly described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 represents a plan View, shortened intermediately, of my machine.
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view thereof.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical cross-sectional view taken on the line 3-3 (Fig. 1).
Fig. 4 is an enlarged vertical sectional View of the driving gears of my machine taken on the line 3-4 (Fig. 1).
Fig. 5 is a. fragmentary View similar to Fig. 1 showing an alternative arrangement of bending elements for a bent rod in which the bends taper in height from one end to the other, and
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 1 showing the elements of the machine in the position they assume when the rod is completely bent.
Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different views.
My machine comprises a bed 5 preferably supported on a concrete base 2, a bracket 3 on the bed having a plate t secured thereto. Opposed guides 5, 5 extend longitudinally and centrally of the bed i in which a driving block 6 is adapted to slide, such driving block being secured to one end of a longitudinal screw l. The screw '1 is carried in a correspondingly threaded gear 8 journalled in a split housing 83 secured to the plate 4. The gear 8 meshes with a worm it on a shaft I! also journalled in the housing 9 and which may be driven by any suitable power means. The housing 9 is adapted to be filled with heavy oil (fill. 153-213) or grease and sealing rings l2 therefor may be disposed on the shaft ll between each end of the worm ii! and the adjacent face of the housing 9. The threading of the screw l is preferably of the square type.
A stationary block it is secured in the guides 5 at the end of the bed l remote from the housing t, and a plurality of blocks H are adapted to slide in the guides 5 between the blocks 6 and it. Each sliding block ill has a vertically disposed hollow fulcrum bearing l8 secured therein on which crossed links it and 28 of a lazy tongs mechanism are pivoted intermediately of their length. Each link it is interposed between the links as which are double and the free ends of the double links are pivoted to the corresponding free ends of the single links. The end links 2| of the lazy tongs mechanism are half links and are pivoted on fulcrum pins 22, 22 secured in theblocks ii and i6 respectively.
A pin it is rotatably secured in the bore of each fulcrum bearing l8, and has an enlarged head 2 projecting above the bearing in which is a notch 25 to receive the rod 26 to be bent. The heads 2 of the pins are received in central vertical orifices ill in rod clamps 28 which are provided with longitudinal rod-receiving grooves 29 of the same cross-section as the notches 25 in the pin heads, which grooves and notches are adapted to register with each other, the clamps being secured against rotation on the pins by, for example, keys Sil, and against vertical displacement therefrom by set-screws 3|.
A longitudinal notch 39 is also provided in the lower face of each clamp 28 which is adapted to receive a cable to running longitudinally of the machine through orifices 41 in the head 24 of each pin 23 and anchored at each end in thecorresponding pin head, which serves to align the clamps 28 when the lazy tongs mechanism is extended.
The operation of the device is as follows: By rotating the shaft H in the proper direction the worm iii thereon causes the gear 8 to rotate, and since such gear is held against axial displacement in the housing 9 the screw 1' draws the driving block in the guides 5 away from the fixed block it which results in the lazy tongs mechanism being opened up until the cable ii] has rotated the clamps 22 into such position that all the rod receiving grooves 29 therein are in alignment. lazy tongs mechanism the links 32 and 34 move the starting hooks 35 toward the longitudinal centre line of the lazy tongs. The rod 26 to be bent is then inserted into the grooves 39 and the shaft ll is'rotated in the opposite direction to cause the screw 'l'to move the driving block 6 towards the fixed block it. When this occurs, the closing up of the link system 32, 34 causes the starting hooks 35 to move away from the longitudinal centre line of the lazy tongs and the projections 3t engage the rod 25 and start the bending operation which is then continued by the closing up of the lazy tongs mechanism. It will be observed that, due to their angular relationship, the links 32, 34 carrying the starting hooks swing faster than the links l9, 2a of the lazy tongs mechanism, but slower than the rod bends once the bends are started and since the starting hooks are disposed alternately on opposite sides of the lazy tongs mechanism a rod bent alternately one way and then the other is fabricated. It will also be evident that the moving relationship between the starting hooks, the rod clamps and the rods is always such that there is complete clearance between these parts.
It will be obvious'from the above description and the drawings that by altering the length of the links 69 and 20 and the length of the rod clamps 28 the rod instead of being bent to have uniform bends through its length may be so bent that these bends taper from one end to the other (Fig. 5), from each end towards the centre, or in any other desired arrangement.
An advantage of my improved machine is that a large number of bends may be made in a rod therewith simultaneously, so that the machinewill have a very high output of bent rods.
Yet another advantage is that, by providing a number or" interchangeable rod clamps, lazytong links and bend starting links of different dimensions for the machine, a number of different types of bent rods having different arrangements of the bends may be produced in the one machine.
A further advantage is that the position of each bend in a rod bent in my machine is always exactly located by the rod clamps, so that all bent rods produced in the machine with one set of clamps are exact duplicates of each other and the bends of each rod lie wholly in one plane. In addition, substantially the whole length .of each part of a rod between bends is supported by a rod clamp during bending of a rod, resulting in such parts being straight in the finished bent rod. 7
