The invention relates'to swaging machines and more 'p'articularly to 'machinesfor reducing the diameter of members of 'circular cross section. V a specific instance, a socket member havin an insert therein may beswaged'to-contract the socket 'upon' the insert thereby "securing-these members to each other, j"
I-tis the object of the-invention to obtain a construction with which successive pieces" of work may be easily inserted andwithdra'wn and which rapidly performs thev swa'ging operation thereup o To this end the-invention consists in'the' con struction as hereinafter set forth.

i 'Application Mai-ch 20, 1944, Serial No. 527,313 e Claims. (01. 78-21 .then closed by a ring bearing cage memberG by screws G I dogs J. These dogs are adapted to couple the cage rotary member G with the member C and to this end the latter member is provided with anannular member K secured to the outer end of the portion C by screws K. member K has radially projecting segments K forming shoulders K in the path of the dogs J inone position'of the latter, while in another position said dogs will clear said shoulders. At the front of the bearing B is a removable closure L. Breferably the mounting for the closure L comprises lugs L projecting outward from the member B, and arms L extending oppositely from said member L and. having bifurcated portions L straddling said lugs L and having connecting pins L Thus, by removing one of said pins L the closure L maybe swung outward on the other pin forming a hinge so as to clear the recess B. The closure L is formed with a central inwardly tapering opening L through which the work may be introduced into operative relationto the swaging die blocks H. ,The closure L is also provided with annular bearing members L and L the former being within the annular member K and fastened by screws L to the closure Land the latter being attached to the closure at the outer end of the cage member G; Surrounding theclosure L is an axially adjustable ring M for engaging the outerends of the dogs J to actuate the same. This rin M is secured to the closure L by pins M projecting inward from the-ring and engaging inclined slots M in the closure L so that a slight rotary adjustment of the ring will cause a simultaneous axial movement thereof. A handle M rojecting radially from the ring M forms a means for adjusting the same. Each of the dogs J has mounted on its outer end portion a wheel or roller J which forms an antifriction bearing on the inner'face of the ring M. The wheels J are yieldablypressed against said ring by plungers J and springs J engaging bores in the cage mem ber G. The outer ends of these plungers J engage-the outer end portions of the dogs J. Thus,
c'ag'e member G, theinner ends of the pockets are when the ring, M is at the outer end of its axial movement, the springs J and plungers J will move the dogs J into the path of the shoulders K to couple the cage G with the rotary member 0. On the other hand, when the ring M is moved axially-inward, it will swingthe dogs J into a position to clear said shoulders K and thus uncouple the cage G from th rotary member C.
The annular Operation When the motor Dis energized, rotary motion will be imparted to the rotary member C and all the elements attached thereto. Assuming that the ring M is in a position to couple the cage 1 memberG to the portion C then this cage meme ber G and the rollers F therein will also revolve with the rotary member and at the same angular speed. Furthermore, centrifugal force de-,;.
veloped by the rotation of the swaging die blocks H and actuating hammer members I will move these parts radially outward sosas to separate the die blocks H from each' other for-the introduction of work therebetween, The ,amount of separation is increased by the engagement of the outer ends of the hammer members I with recesses I in the cage member G at substantially diametrically opposite points thereof, said 'recesses I being in registration with saidhammer members I when the dogs J are in contact with the shoulders K In this position of the parts, the work such as a socket member N surrounding an insert 0 is moved through the opening L in the closure L into the space between the die blocks I-I: There is also preferably provided a work holder P for properly centralizing and positioning the work. This holder, as shown in Fig. 2, comprises a socket member P slidable within a cylindrical member P which also contains a' spring P and has a closure cap-P All of these parts are inserted within an axial recess P in the member C(and the arrangement is such thata projecting end portion N of the work socket member N may be inserted within-the socket holder P and pressed inward againstthe tension of the spring P This arrangement will cause the socket member N to be positioned properly between the die blocks'H for theswaging, operation.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. In a swaging machine, a rotating member having a transversely extending guideway thereon, swaging members slidable on said guideway on the opposite sides of the axis of rotation and movable radially outward from said axis by centrifugal action to formtherebetween a space for receiving the-work, a 'surroundingrace member spaced from and concentric with said rotating member, an annular member in the space between said rotating member and race member provided with a series of spaced rounded inward projec- :tions, coupling means between said rotating member and annular member for causing the same torot'ateat thesame angular speed, and means operable during the rotation of said members for uncouplingsaid coupling means whereby said -annular; member will be frictionally retarded and rollers also'in said spacecoupling means between To accomplish the latter the-operator taking hold of the handle M rotates the ring M to-simultaneously move the same" axially thereby diserb' gaging the dogs J from the shoulders K This permits frictional resistance afforded by the engagement of the rollers'F with the race member or bearing B and the hammer members I to retard therotation of the cage Gto a slower angularspeed than that of the rotary member 0 so that the rollers F will successively impinge against the hammer members I to actuate the same radially inward. The hammer members I, in turn, will actuate the die blocks H which will deliver a succession of blows against the outer surface of the socket -N swagingthe same into bind ing contact withthe insert 0. The operation is sorapid that the swaging isaccomplished in ashort interval of time after which the ring M is returned by the handle M -to its normal position so that the dogs'J will be moved intothe path of the shoulders K to again couple the cage G with the rotary'member C. The completed work may then be removed, new work introduced and the operation repeated. v i
The work tobe swaged may vary in dimensions which necessitates changing ,the swaging die blocks I-I. This may be easily performed by removing one ofthe pins L and swinging the closure L outward to provide clearance forthe removal of the die blocks H and the insertion of exchange die blocks H. To avoid interference by the annular memberK, the latter is provided with notches K in its inner periphery which permit passagetherethroughof the corners of the die blocks H. J It is, therefore, possible to quickly exchange the blocks whenever there is a change in dimensions of the work to be swaged. i
