1 Claim.
My invention relates to improvements in starting mechanisms for drill press spindles.
The object of the invention is to provide means for automatically starting the rotation of the spindle when the same is moved downwardly into engagement with the work to be operated upon. Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is simple in construction, cheaply manufactured and having certain details of structure and combination of parts hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawing the figure represents a side elevation of the improved device.
Referring now to the drawing, 1 represents a horizontally arranged support, carrying, at one end, a vertically disposed sleeve 2 adapted to move vertically within the supoprt. Extending vertically through the sleeve is the spindle 3, which is free to rotate but held against longitudinal movement within the sleeve. One side of the sleeve is provided with rack teeth H, meshing with a cog wheel I. rotatably supported on a shaft l2, carried by the support 5. The cog wheel 1 is provided with a lever 5, by means of which it is rotated for raising and lowering the sleeve. The shaft or spindle 3 carries a sprocket wheel l3, held against rotation but vertically movable thereon. An electric motor i4 is properly supported with a sprocket wheel l5 in horizontal alinement with the sprocket wheel l3, and passing around the sprocket wheels is a drive chain IS. The motor shaft l'l carries the sprocket wheel l5, whereby the spindle is rotated. The motor M is driven by electricity through the wires IB and 19 leading to the battery 20, or other source of supply. Carried by the support I, in any desired manner, is a vertically disposed cylindrical member 21, through which passes a ver-- tically movable rod 2', which is insulated from the member 2!. A wire 22 leads from the battery 20 to themember 2|. Carried by the upper end of the member 2! is a ring-like insulator, through which the rod 2 freely passes. This insulator l0 supports a disc 9, which is connected to the wire l9 leading to the motor 14. The upper end of the rod 2 is provided with an enlarged head 8, which, as shown in the drawing. is normally held in an upward position out of contact with the disc 9.
The lower end of the sleeve 2 is provided with an outwardly extending collar or arm 4, upon which is supported the rod 2, whereby the rod is held in an upward position when the drill spindle is in its raised position and the circuit to the motor is broken.
In the operation of the device, the lever 5 is moved downwardly causing the sleeve 2, through the medium of the cog wheel 1 and rack teeth I I, to lower the spindle into engagement with the work to be operated upon. The arm or collar 4 is simultaneously lowered allowing the rod 2 to move downwardly, bringing the head into engagement with the disc 9 and completing the cir cult to the motor through the wires I8, l9 and 22, thus starting the rotation of the spindle.
What is claimed is:
An automatically operable switch mechanism for an electric motor driven drill press comprising an elongated cylindrical member adapted to be supported in fixed vertical position on the press, a vertical rod slidably extended through the cylindrical member, the said rod having its lower end projecting below the cylindrical member for engagement with a member carried by the drill press spindle for moving the rod with the movement of the spindle, an enlarged head formed on the upwardly projecting end of the rod, a. ring of insulating material mounted on the upper end of the cylindrical member, and a disc of electric conductive material supported on the insulating ring, the said disc and the cylindrical member being connected to terminals of an electric circuit through the motor so that when the spindle is lowered the head on the upper end of the rod will drop into contact with the disc to close the motor circuit and efiect rotary operation of the spindle.
