signor to The Budd Company, Philadelphia, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Application December 13, 1944, Serial No. 567,983
7 Claims. (Cl. 153-32) The invention relates to astretcher press and more particularly to a machine of this type adapted for simultaneously bending and stretching proles into curved forms.
Among the objects of the invention is a machine of the indicated type which is easily operated and which allows the production of a great variety of shapes including shapes with curvatures in more than one plane. y
Another object of the invention is amachine'ljg) of the indicated type which can easily and speedily be adapted or changed to the production of differently shaped articles.
The aforesaid objects and other objects and advantages are achieved' by a machine having `pairs of power driven independently movable the embodiment illustrated in the attached 30 drawings and described in the following.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a machine showing diagrammatically the control circuits for the r different movable elements, certain parts being broken away; f
Figure 2 is a section on a larger scale along lline 2-2 of Figure 1` withone of the armsrswung about 90 from the positionshown inFigure 1;
Figure 3 is a section throughone of the arms 30 along line 3-3 of Figure 2 on a still larger scale; and
Figure 4 is a fragmentary section along line 4-4 of Figure 1 on a scale larger .than thatWil of Figure 2. Y A l V e#SI5 A floor I9 supports a base plate II. Part of the plate II coversy a well I2 in the floor II) the side walls of which are formed by beams I3. An upright wall I4 has its lower margin secured to a reinforcement l5 of the base plate and its w40 upper margin to a table top IB.. Webs I1, I8 and I9 interbrace said wall |4said reinforcement |5 and said top I6.` The web |8= is arranged along the vertical center line of the ,5 members II, I4, I5 and I6. The webs Hand the wall I4 are further interbraced by horizontal webs 20.
The upper side of the top plate I6 is' adapted for the securement thereto of a bending die 2|, ..250 as by means of bolts 22. The free edge of the top I6 running parallel to the wallA I4 is reinforced by an upwardly directed ange 23. `The latter has screw threaded therein bolts 24 serving for the adjustment of the"`die 2|. The die -55 plate l l.
2| and its'use will be described more fully later Secured to the bottom plate is a pair of gibs 25 which run parallel to each other and to the wall I4. Another gib 26 is secured to the wall I4 and extends horizontally on both sides of the web |8.
A pair of generally U-shaped structures 21 engage with mating gibs 28 and 29, respectively, the aforesaid gibsl 25 and 26 so that the structures 21 are slidably guided on the structure formed by the plate II and the wall I4. Each structure 21 has a vertical web 3|) carrying the gibs'29, a lower horizontal arm 3| of considerable length carrying the gibs 28 and a short horizontal upper arm 3|. The lower arm'is in the form of a circle segment and has secured to its. periphery a rack 32. I
Secured to the underside of the plate I I and arranged inthe well I2 is an electric motor 33 which `through gears 34 drives a short shaft 35 rotatably supported in bearings 36 secured to -the top of the plate II and which is controlled by the diagrammatically illustrated switch 33'. The shaft extends parallel to the hereinbefore described gibs 25 and is arranged co-axially with a pair of screw threaded shafts 31 the outer ends of which are supported rotatably but axially immovably in'bearings 38 likewise secured to the The vscrew threaded portions of the shafts 31 engage nut members 39 secured to the arms 3|. Between the inner end of each shaft 31` and the `adjacentouter end of the shaft 35 is arranged a coupling 40. The two couplings 40 are independently controllable, as by linkage and lever systems 4|, 42. l
- -f A pair of generally horizontally arranged arms 43 `have their inner 'ends journalled rotatably about'a vertical axis to the arms 3| and `3| of the` structure 21 at 44.l At some distance from the journal 44, each arm 43 rests by means of rollers 45 on the top surface of a horizontal extension 46 of thearm 3|. Each arm carries a motor 41 which through gears 48 drives a pinion 49 engaging one of the racks 32. The motors 41 of the two arms are controllable independently of each other by a pair of control means diagrammatically illustrated at 50'in Figure 1. Each arm 43 extends outwardly beyond the roller support 45, 46 and has itsv extended portion' provided with apair of horizontally spaced vertical gibs 5|."The gibs 5| are engaged by correspondingly shaped gibs 52 provided on a horizontal beam structure 53. Each beam structure 53 carries an electric-motor 54V which through `gears 55, drives a horizontal shaft 55 rotatably supported in bearings 51 on downward extensions 58 of the beam structure 53. The shaft 56 has secured thereto near each of its ends a Worm 59 which is in driving engagement with a worm wheel 60. Each worm Wheel 60 is held between lugs 6| of the extension 58 and is secured to a screw threaded shaftr62. TheL-screwwthreads of the shaft *62 engagethe correspondingly screw threaded interior of a lug 63 formed integrally with the respective arm 43. Here again each of the two motors 54 is independentlyscontrollable by a pair of control means 64 diagram-- matically illustrated in Figure-1.
Each beam structure 53-'carniesin bearing's'165' rotatably but axially stationarily a second "shaft B6 which is screw threaded:foversthe/greater part of its length. The shaft 65 is in driving connection with a motor 61 by means of gears. "'T-he motor El' is supported by the respective beam 'structure 53 :controllable :independently f the corresponding motor on the other arm .by the` control means GBL-'diagrammatically shown iin Figure l.
