- pantograph has often been rather loosely applied to denote two widely different types of linkages, and this has caused some confusion.
- the type of linkage illustrated in Fig. 3 of my United States Patent No. 1,972,910, granted September 11, 1934 is often referred to as a pantograph.
- This type of linkage is suitable only for making reproductions of the same scale or size as the model or pattern, and is not used for producing a reduction or enlargement of the scale.
- this type shown in my said patent may be referred to as a parallelogram linkage or a pantograph of the parallelogram type.
- linkage to which the term pantograp has frequently been applied, is a linkage such as that illustrated in Fig. 4 of United States Letters Patent No. 1,754,256, granted April 15, 1930, for an invention of Lorenz K. Braren.
- This type of linkage is suitable for reduction or enlargement, but is not suitable for. reproductions of the same scale or size as the model or pattern, unless the tracing p'oint be placed on the opposite side of the fixed pivot from the cutting tool, which is often inconvenient and unsatisfactory.
- the linkage shown in said Braren patent may be referred to as a storksbill or lazytongs linkage or a pantograph linkage of the storksbill or lazytongs type.
- the arm 22 carries a socket or holder 26 in which'may be inserted either a tracing point 'or a cutting tool (preferably a rotary cutting tool driven by a suitable motor) which may cooperate with a pattern or work placed on the table 21.
- a beam 30 is slidable longitudinally along guideways on a U-shaped member 3
- the beam 30 is movable in one direction in a horizontal plane by movement along its U-shaped support 3i, and movable in another direction at right angles thereto by moving the whole support 3! in and out relatively to the guides 33.
- the beam 30 is universally movable (within reasonable limits) in its own horizontal plane, and maintains always a position parallel to itself; that is, each position that it can occupy is parallel to every other position that it can occupy, so that when the beam is moved, every part of the beam partakes of the same movement of identical extent and direction.
- the beam is capable of motion of translation but is restrained against motion of rotation,
- This beam 30 carries two or more sockets 35 and 35, similar to the socket 26, so that either socket may receive the tracing point or a cutting tool, at will, which tracing points or cutting tools are adapted to cooperate with patterns or work placed upon the holding tables 3? and 38.
- the lazytongs linkage is connected to the beam 30.
- the point 39 of the lazytongs linkage is correspondingly moved by a proportionately smaller amount depending on the setting of the pantograph linkage, and since the point 39 is directly connected -to the beam 30, it causes corresponding movement of the beam 30.
- the sockets 35 and 36, and any cutting tools held in either or both of these sockets partake of the same movement as the point 39 of the lazytongs linkage, namely, a movement corresponding to but in reduced scale relatively to the movement of the point 26.
- a tracing stylus be inserted in the socket 26 and cutting tools in one or both of the sockets 35 and 36, the movement of the tracing stylus over a pattern or model will cause a corresponding reproduction of the pattern or model, on a reduced scale, on workplaced upon the tables 31 and 38.
- the tracing stylus can be placed in either of the sockets 35 and 36, while the cutting tool is placed in the socket 26.
- the tracing stylus is placed in one of the sockets on the beam 30 (for example, the socket 35) and the cutting tool is placed in the other socket on the beam 30 (for example, the socket 36).
- the lazytongs linkage may be entirely disconnected from the beam 30 if desired, but frequently it is convenient to ,leave it connected to the beam and to use a suitableholder in the socket 26 as a handle by which to operate the linkage to move the beam 30 with less force than would be required if the of the work. Also, when reductions or enlargebe observed simultaneously during the progress ments are being made, the pattern and the work Ill" Fig. 3
- the point 39 of the lazytongs linkage is pivoted to a block 40 which may be clamped in any desired position along a bar 4
- the advantage of this construction is that when the adjustment of the lazytongs linkage is changed, to change the ratio of reduction or enlargement, the member may be loosened and shifted to a new position on the bar 4!, leaving the bar M and the beam 30 in so that the work need not be shifted to a new position.
- This machine comprises a frame tables 21a and 31a coresponding to the and 31 in the embodiment (previously Pivoted to the frame 45 by means oi. tially horizontal pivot shaft as,
- This carrier contains the guides 33a in which the arms 32a of the U-shaped member am may move.
- the beam 30a is slidably mounted on the U-shaped member Ma.
- the carrier M also has a substantially vertical pivot 25a, forming the fixed point of the lazytongs linkage, comprising the bars 21a, 22a, 23a, and 2441, which lie has a socket 26a for receiving either a tracing point 48 or a cutting tool, as desired, and the beam 30;: has one or more sockets 35a for receiving a tracing point or a cutting tool it, as desired.
- the lazytongs linkage is connected as before, at the point 39a, to a block the which may be clamped in any desired position on the bar 4la secured to the beam 30a.
- the end of the tracing stylus 48 and the end of the cutting tool 49 should both lie exactly in a common plane passing'through the axis of the shaft 66, as indicated by the dot-dash line 60, and the axis of the fixed pivot 25a of the lazytongs linkage should also pass directly through the axis of the horizontal pivot 46, as indicated by the dot-dash line 5
- the machine frame is indicated at 45b, and it carries pattern and work tables 21b, 31b, and 38b, corresponding to tables 27, 31, and 38, previously described.
- the frame 45b has a horizontal pivot 46b on which is pivoted the carrier 41b in which is mounted the vertically fixed pivot 25b of the lazytongs linkage system, the parts of which maybe identical with the lazytongs system described in connection with Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, and which parts are indicated by the same reference numerals used for the corresponding parts in Figs.- 1 to 3,
- the lazytongs linkage is connected as before, at the point 3%, to the member dllb capable of being clamped in any desired position along the bar Mb mounted on the beam 30b capable of universal movement of translation but remaining always parallel to itself.
- This mounting of the beam liiib for a movement of translation without any movement of rotation may be accomplished by the use of a U-shaped member such as the member 35, -32 previously described, or it may be accomplished by mounting the beam 30b on a linkage of the type above referred to as a parallelogram linkage.
- I'he mounting is here shown, by way of example, as a parallelogram linkage mounting, including the bars and 56 pivoted at their right hand ends to the beam 30b and extending parallel to each other and pivoted at their left hand ends to the bars 5? and 58 respectively, which are also parallel to each other and which are pivoted to the member 59.
- a bar 6i! connects the Joint between the bars SEi-and 51 to the joint between the bars 55 and 58.
- the beam 302 may move horizontally in all directions, as required.
- the beam carries two or more sockets 35b and 36b, in each of-which either a tracing stylus or a cutting tool may be placed, as required.
- the member 59 to which the parallelogram linkage carrying the beam 301) is pivoted, is mounted for vertical movement along a vertical guideway 62 on the frame 45b of the machine.
- the weight of the member 59 and. of all parts supported therefrom is counterbalanced by means of a counterweight 64 connected to the member 59 by a cord or band 65 passing over a pulley 66 mounted on the machine frame.
- a cord or band 68 of adjustable length passes downwardly from the counterweight 64, around the pulley 61, and up to a connection with the member 59, so that the mass inertia of counterweight 64 may be utilized for the attenuation or damping of the vertical vibrations of the tool holder and other parts directly or indirectly carried by-the member 59.
- An arm 10 is pivoted at one end, by means of a vertical pivot, to the beam 30b, and at the other end is pivoted, by a vertical ivot, the arm II which carries the socket 12 in which may be placed either a tracing stylus I3 or a cutting tool, as required.
- the tool or stylus is mounted so as to be vertically slidable through the socket 12.
- the upper end of the tracing stylus is pivotally connected at 14, as by means of a universal joint, to a member I5 fixed to the lazytongs linkage in a position corresponding tothat of the point 26.
- a handle I6 may be provided for convenience in guiding the stylus over the pattern.
- the raising of the stylus 13 raises the member I5 on the end of the lazytongs linkage, thus tilting the lazytongs linkage upwardly and swinging it around its horizontal pivot 46b.
- This upward tilting of the lazytongs linkage pulls upwardly to a corresponding but reduced extent on the member 40b fastened to the bar llb, and thus pulls upwardly on the beam b, raising the entire parallelogram linkage and member 50, which may move vertically very easily because of the counterbalancing effect of the counterweight 64.
- the vertical movements of the tracing stylus thus result in true vertical movementv of the cutting tool, even though the lazytongs linkage is tilted about its horizontal axis 40b.
- the cutting tool is slidable vertically through the socket I2 and is connected through the universal joint I4 to the lazytongs linkage part I5, which controls or produces the upward and downward movements of the cutting tool.
- the cutting tool and the tracing-stylus are both mounted in the sockets on the beam 30b.
- the lazytongs linkage then may be. disconnected from the beam or, preferably, is used for operating the beam in the desired manner by a smaller force than would be required if the force were applied directly to the beam.
- the axis of the vertical pivot 25b should intersect the axis of the horizontal pivot 461), as shown by a dot-dash line in Fig. 5, and the 10 universal joint 14 between the members I3 and I5 should lie in a line drawn through the axis of the horizontal pivot 46b and through the pivot connecting the member 3317 to the member 40b, as indicated by another dot-dash line in Fig. 5. 15
- the machine comprises a main frame or standard Ililon which are mounted the tables H02 and I03, each having suitable slots, such as T-shaped slots, by means of which the pattern and work may be conveniently clamped to the tables.
- the table I02 is mounted on a slide I00 movable horizontally along guideways on a slide I00 which is movable vertically along guideways on the frame IN.
- a screw controlled by the g; handle I06 serves to move the table I02 horizontally, while another screw or other suitable mechanism controlled by the handle I01 serves to move the table vertically.
- the other table I03 is movable horizontally 35 along guideways on a slide IIO which is likewise movable'horizontally along guideways at right angles to the first mentioned guideways, on a slide II I which is movable along vertical guideways on the frame IOI.
- a feeding screw or other 40 suitable mechanism controlled by the handle II2 serves to move the table I03 horizontally in one direction, while a feeding screw or other suitable mechanism controlled by the handle H3 moves the table I03 horizontally in the direction at right angles thereto, and a screw or other suitable mechanism controlled by the handle H4 moves the table vertically.
- Suitable graduations are preferably associated with each of the feeding handles I06, I01, H2, H3, and II, in order that the'tables may be quickly set to any desired position or moved through any predetermined distance.
- the vertical slides I05 and III preferably also carry pointers or index markings H0 and 1, respectively, which cooperate with a scale H8 fixed to the frame IOI, so as to show the respective heights of the top surfaces of the two tables.
- the table I02 may conveniently be referred to as the pattern table and the table I03 as the work 6 table, although in some circumstances the pattern is placed on the table I03 and the work is placed on the table I02, as, for example, when making a reproduction on an enlarged scale.
- a mem- 5 her I20 accurately guided in vertical guideways so that it may move upwardly and" downwardly relatively to the main frame.
- This vertically movable member I20 carries a pair of horizontally arranged and forwardly projecting guldsways III on which are slidably mounted the side arms I22 of. a U-shaped frame, which side arms are rigidly connected to each other by the cross bar I23.
- Ball bearings are preferably interposed between the members I2I and I22 so that the U- 7
- This bar I23 may move horizontally with great case.
- This bar I23 may also move upwardly and downwardly, of course, carrying with it the members I20 and I2l.
- the forward ends of the members I2I and I22, where they project beyond the member I20, are preferably enclosed by an accordion pleated bellows I, to protect the guideways between the members I2I and I22 from dust, dirt, and the like.
- a beam I25 is movable on horizontal guideways (preferably provided with ball bearings as indicated in Fig. 9) formed on the bar I23.
- the beam I25 may move horizontally in one direction along its guideways on the bar I23, and it may move horizontally in a direction at right angles thereto by moving the entire bar I23 inwardly or outwardly on the guideways I2I, and it may move vertically by moving the entire guideways HI and member I20 in a vertical direction along the frame I M.
- the beam is thus capable of a universal movement of translation in any direction to any extent (within the limits of the machine) but is restrained by the guideways against any movement of rotation, so that all positions which the beam I25 may assume are strictly parallel to each other.
- the beam I25 carries a plurality of sockets two of which are shown at I21and I28, respectively, and all of which sockets are adapted to receive interchangeably, as desired, either a rotary cutting tool or a tracing stylus.
- One or more of the sockets may be adjustable horizontally to various positions along the beam I25, horizontally extending guideways I29 (Figs. 7 and 9) being provided in the beam
- An arm or link I3I is pivoted at one end to the beam I25 by means of a vertical pivot I 32, which may conveniently be attached to the holder or socket I28, instead of being secured immovably to the beam I25.
- the opposite end of the arm I3I is pivoted by another vertical pivot I33 to one end of the arm I34, the other end of which is provided with a socket I the purpose of
- the linkage formed by the arms I3I and I34 is freely flexible in a horizontal direction, and the socket I35 may, therefore, be moved freely to any desired position in a horizontal direction, but the linkage is perfectly rigid in a vertical direction and the socket I35 is therefore held in a strictly vertical position at all times, even though it may move up and down relatively to the frame I0 I when the beam I25 moves up and down.
- a horizontal clamping slot I40 Substantially at the top of the main frame I0 I above the member I20, is a horizontal clamping slot I40, and a block I4I may be moved along this slot and clamped in any desired position relatively thereto.
- This block I4I carries a horizontal pivot I42 (Fig. 8) on which is pivoted a carrier I43 having a vertical pivot I44 forming the main or fixed pivot of a lazytongs pantograph system or linkage.
- the lazytongs linkage may comprise, for example, the arms I46, I41, I48, and I49 pivoted to each other by vertical pivots in the usual lazytongs pantograph manable to diflerent positions along its companion arms (such as I41 and I48) in order to set'the lazytongs linkage for diiferent ratios of reduc tion or enlargement.
- a member I55, settable to diiferent'positions along the arm I49,- carries a vertical pivot I56 which extends downwardly below the bottom of the member I as shown in Fig. 9.
- a bracket I58 which may be moved to and clamped in any desired position along a horizontal guideway on a bar I59 secured to the top. of the beam I25 and extending horizontally in a direction transverse to the length of the beam, as indicated in Fig. 10.
- This bar I59 may be fixed immovably in a given position on the top of the beam I25, is desired, but preferably it is movable to any desired position along a clamping groove I60 formed along the top of the beam I25, and when shifted to the desired position, the bar I59 may be clamped in such position by any suitable means such as the bolt I6I (Fig. 9).
- a downward projection I connected through two pivots at right angles to each other, forming a universal joint, indicated generally at I66, to the upper end of a tube I61 which is slidable vertically within the holder I35 on the arm I34.
- This tube I01 is thus guided by the holder I35 so that it is maintained always in a strictly vertical position, and the universal joint I66 permits this vertical position of' the tube notwithstanding a tilting and a swinging of the member I65 and the other parts of the lazytongs linkage about the:
- the tube I61 forms a socket for receiving a cutting tool spindle assembly, the universal joint I66 being made sufliciently large so as to accommodate a tool spindle driving pulley l68 without interference.
- the lower end I69 of the spindle is adapted to receive interchangeably, as desired, either a tracing stylus or a cutting tool, indicated at I10.
- a tracing stylus When a tracing stylus is used, there is, of course, no belt connected to the pulley I68, so that the spindle does not revolve, but when a cutting tool is used, the pulley I68 is suitably driven by a belt and the tool revolves in the usual manner.
- this means may conveniently be in the form of a spring I having its lower end secured to a screw I8I having a nut I82 connected to a disk I83 which may be turned by means of pins I84, so as to vary the tension of the spring I80.
- the upper end of the spring is connected to a. cord,
- the spring I80 exerts a constant force tending totum the pulley, rather than a force which is variable when the spring is stretched to a greater or less degree.
- the pulley portion I81 is rigidly connected to another pulley portion I88 ofuniform radius, to which is attached a band I89 extending upwardly and running over an idler pulley I90 and thence downwardly to a point I 9
- the spring 2 can be set so as to counterbalance exactly the weight of the slide I 20 and all other parts supported thereby, and the slide I20 can be moved upwardly and downwardly along the. frame IOI with great ease since the force tending to lift the slide I is constant irrespective of the movements of the slide.
- a rotatable member I95 accessible on the top of the frame MI and suitably graduated so that this member may be set in any predetermined position. to and depends from this rotatable member or head I95 which screw passes into a socket in the slide I20 and is there provided with a nut ll91 which can slide vertically in the socket of the slide I20, but which can not turn therein, the nut and socket being made non-circular or else the nut having a pin projecting into a vertical slot in one side of the socket.
- a ring I98 fixed to the slide I20 surrounds the screw I98 above the nut I91 but does not engage the screw threads of the screw so that the screw is freely slidable vertically through this ring.
- Slide I20 and associated parts may, therefore, move downwardly until the ring I98 comes to rest on the top of the nut I91, but may not move any farther, andthe elevation at which this contact between the parts I91 and I98 takes place may be adjusted by turning the head I95. This serves as a depth limiter.
- the sockets I21 and I28 on the beam I25 may be so constructed that they may receive either a cutting tool or a tracing stylus, at will;
- the construction may be such that the whole cutting tool spindle may be removed when not needed, and a tracing stylus may be substituted therefor.
- the cutting tool spindle may remain permanently in the socket I21 or I28, and the cutting tool may simply be removed from the end of the spindle when not needed, and be replaced'by a tracing stylus secured to the spindle, the driving of the spindle being omitted, of course, when the cutting tool is not used.
- FIG. 12 and 13 A preferred arrangement of cutting tool spindle, remaining in place within the socket, is indicated in Figs. 12 and 13.
- the socket or holder I21 is indicated, but it is obvious that the same construction may also be used for the socket I28 or any other tool spindle sockets of this machine.
- Fixed in the upper end of the socket I21 is a sleeve 20I having suitable bearings 202 (preferably ball bearings) for holding a rotatable tube 203, the upper end of which is provided with a driving pulley having belt grooves 204 and '205.
- a sleeve 201 having ball bearings 208 and 209 for supporting a rotatable spindle 2 I0.
- the spindle is connected to and driven from the rotating tube 203 by means of an upward extension 2II at the top of the spindle 2I0 which extension is of non-circular cross section, as shown especially in Fig. 13, and which fits slidably into a similarly shaped part at the bottom of the tube 208.
- the sleeve 201, spindle 2I0, and extension 2 may slide upwardly and downwardly relatively to the sleeve 20I and 203, but
- the spindle is at all times operatively connected to and driven from sleeve 203.
- a socket At the-lower end of the spindle 2I0 is a socket which may receive,- as desired, either a cutting tool H5 or a tracing stylus, either of which may be clamped in the spindle socket by suitable means, such as a collet or split collar 2I8 and a clamping nut 2".
- a pin 220 secured to the sleeve 281 and projecting outwardly through a A long screw I98'is connected that the housing may swing horizontally .desired position around the pulley 24 I, but .is
- the pin 220 passes through a vertical member 223 slidable vertically through a bore in an extension on the holder I21.
- the lower end of this member 223 is hollowed out to form a cavity.
- a spring 224 pressing at its upper end against the member 223and reacting at its lower end against a cap 225 threaded into the holder I21.
- the upper-end of the member 223 is in the form of a screw threaded shank 221 which is engaged by screw threads on the inner surface of a sleeve 228 having an accessible head 229 which may be turned for purposes of adjustment.
- This threaded sleeve 228 is rotatable within, but held against vertical movement relatively to, a second sleeve 230 which is slidable vertically in the above mentioned bore in the holder I21, and which may be held in any desired vertical position by tightening a clamping nut 23I to reduce slightly the diameter of the bore in which the sleeve 230-is movable.
- the head 229 may be rotated to turn the sleeve 228 relatively to the screw threads 221, and thus to raise or lower the tool spindle slightly in order to place the tool exactly in the right position relatively to the work.
- the tool When the tool has been properly located; it may be maintained in this position by tightening a clamp 232 which has the effect of clamping the sleeve 2 01 immovably in the holder I21.
- an electric motor '240 maybe secured to one side of the machine frame 'IOI.
- a pulley24l At the upper end of the armature shaft of this motor is a pulley24l over which a driving belt may pass to a second pulley 242 top of mounted on a bearing on an am 243 slidable.
- a clamp 248 serves to hold in any desired position to produce the proper tensionon the belt 241 running from the pulley 2 to the pulley m. 1
- the pulley 242 is secured to a sleeve 248 which extends downwardly from the pulley and to which is secured a second pulley 249 over which may run a belt 250 extending to the pulley 204, 205 on the tool spindle.
- a housing 252 surrounds the belt and runs from the pulley 24-I to the pulley flange at the top of the all the sliding member 243 the lower end 258 of leys 242 and 249 are mounted, by means of a spherical bearing 258, so that the housing 252 I only protecting the belt, but also exerting the necessary forceto resist or counterbalance the tension of the belt 250.- Because of the fact that, during operation, the tool spindle may move vertically to a considerable extent relatively to the motor 240, this-housing 252 must be connected in such a manner as to permit such rising and falling movement of the spindle.
- One end of the housing is, therefore, pivotally connected to a sleeve member 253 surrounding and rotatable upon thesleeve 20I of the spindle, by means of pivot pins 254. (Figs. 12 and 14) extending generally transversely to the length of the housing 252, so that this housing may tilt about these pins 254 as an axis.
- a member 258 is slid able longitudinally along the housing and may be clamped-in any desired position by means of the clamp 251. This member 256 is engagedwith the shaft on which the pulm, m, not
- the housing may. tilt laterally as well as longitudinally, or in any desired direction, relatively to the shaft 258, although the housing is at all times supported by this shaft.
- the housing forms a connection between the tool spindle shaft and the pulley shaft 258 which is flexible in a vertical direction but rigid inga horizontal direction, so as to maintain the tension on the belt 250.
- the pulley shaft 258, turning this shaft about the motor shaft as a center As the tool spindle moves horizontally over the work, this results, of course, in horizontal movement of the pulley shaft 258, turning this shaft about the motor shaft as a center.
- the pattern may be placed upon the table I02 and the work may be placed upon the table I 03.
- a tracing stylus I10 is then mounted in the tube I51, and a cutting tool 2I5 is mounted on the spindle 2I0 within the holder I21.
- the upward and downward movements of the tracing stylus I10 will cause the lazytongs linkage to tilt upwardly and downwardly about pivot I42, and these vertical movements will be correspondingly transmitted, though on the proper reduced scale, from the lazytongs'system through the pivot connection I55, I51, to the beam I25 on which the cutting tool 2I5 is mounted.
- Horizontal movements of the tracing stylus I10 in any-desired position will likewise be'transmitted through the connection I58, I51, to the beam I25, whichwill thus at all times move in exactly the same direction as the tracing stylus I10, but on the proper reduced scale, depending upon the setting of the lazytongs linkage.
- the operation is simply reversed, the cutting tool being placed at 110 mounted in the spindle within the tube I81, and the tracing ⁇ stylus being mounted in the spindle within the holder or socket I21.
- the tracing stylus and cutting tool remain at all times strictly perpendicular to the surfaces of the tables I02 and I03, and may move straight up and down without any tilting, thus facilitating the making of vertical cuts or the proper finishing of vertical surfaces.
- the tracing stylus When making reproductions on the same size or scale as the original, the tracing stylus may be mounted in the socket I28 on the beam I25, the the spindle in the socket I21 so that both the tracing stylus and the tool are mounted on this parallel motion beam.
- the lazytongs linkage may be entirely disconnected, but preferably it is employed as a convenient operating mechanism'for moving the beam I25, since the'operator can grasp the lower end of the tube; I61 and use it as a handle to move the beam I252 with less force than would be required if he grasped the tracing stylus directly;
- the position of thIYghOldl' I28 on the beam I25 may be shifted laterally as desired, to place the tracing stylus at any desired distance from the cutting tool.
