Claims. 1
This invention relates to a can body maker.
In can body makers. can bodies are provided with oppositely hooked ends and are wrapped about a horn with the hooked ends interlocked. A bumper steel is caused to hammer the hooked ends to form a side seam in the can body.
In can body makers high speed of operation is essential and the seams should be formed with a high degree of perfection. Defective seams result in leakage of the can and rejection of the can bodies.
One present day conventional can body maker employs a bumper steel carried by a cross head which is rotatably mounted on the upper end of a rod. The rod, in turn, is rotatably mounted on a crank shaft. The cross head is guided for vertical movement by means of a slide. Difficulties are encountered with slides employed for this purpose. Thus, acid or flux used for soldering the seams, splashes over the slide, thereby fouling it, causing defective operation and requiring frequent shutdowns for repairs. Furthermore, for a slide to work satisfactorily it must be relatively long. This increases the over-all height of the machine and makes it difficult for an operator to work on the machine. If the machine is intended to form seams on cans of large diameter, the over-all height is so great that it is necessary to employ platforms for the operators.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved type of can body maker.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a can body maker having a bumper guide which eliminates the necessity of a slide.
It is a particular object of the invention to provide a can body maker which eliminates the necessity of a slide for guiding the bumper steel and which involves fewer relatively moving parts than heretofore.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a can body maker which is low in over-all height.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a can body maker which is readily and accurately adjustable to form side seams on can bodies of different diameters.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from the ensuing description and the appended claims.
One form which the invention may assume is exemplified in the accompanying drawings and is described in detail hereinafter.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary end elevation of the machine.
Figure 2 is a section taken along the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the cross head and its guide mechanism, and it illustrates the manner in which the guide mechanism can be adjusted.
Referring now to the drawings, the body maker of my invention is generally designated as H), and it comprises a stationary frame H in which is journaled a crankshaft l2. The crankshaft |2 has the usual cheeks l3 and crankpin l4, and a connecting rod l 5 is provided, the lower end of which is rotatably mounted on the crankpin I4, as by means of a split strap l6 and cap screws H. The tubular upper end [B of the rod l5 rotatably receives a bumper pin l9 which has eccentric ends 20 for a purpose explained hereinafter. r
A cross head 2| is provided having a split collar 22, which is clamped by means of cap screws 23 to bushings 24a on the eccentric ends 20 of the bumper pin l9. The cross head 2 l. is formed with a groove 24 to receive a bumper steel 30, which is clamped in the groove by means of cap screws3l.
Caps 32 are clamped to the ends of the bumper pin [9 and to the sides of the cross head 2|, as by means of cap screws 33. The cross head 2| is formed with a guide arm 34, the outer end of which is mounted in the manner explained hereinafter and which serves to guide the move ment of the bumper steel 30. The bumper steel 30 bumps or hammers the interlocked hooks 36 on a can body 31 which is clamped to a horn 38, thereby forming a seam which is shown at 36a. The can body is automatically clamped to the horn 38, and its hooked ends 36 are auto matically interlocked, by any suitable means such as those well-known in the art, e. g., by means of arms 39. An anvil or backup member 40 is also provided, which is operated automatically by any suitable means to provide a backing for the horn at the instant of impact of the bumper steel thereon. These elements, 1. e., the arms 39 and anvil 40, form no part of-the present invention, and appropriate means for accomplishing their intended operations are well-known in the art.
It will be apparent that the bumper steel 30 swings through an are which is indicated at II. It is necessary to provide a means for guiding the bumper steel so that it coincides with the hooked ends 36 at the moment of impact. It is also desirable to provide guide means for causing the bumper steel to swing in a vertical plane at the instant of impact. Onthe other hand, it is some,
times advantageous to hammer the seam more on one side than on the other. It is, therefore, desirable to provide guide means for the bumper steel which is operable, by appropriate adjustment, to guide the bumper steel vertically, or to 5 bias it toward one side or the other. It is also desirable to provide a means for rapidly and accuratelyadjusting themachinaior cans. of diti'erent diameters.
To achieve these various objects, the cross head guide arm 34, and a mounting assembly 45 there, for, are provided and will now be described in detail.
A vertical shaft or post 46 is providediwhichiis fixed to the frame of the machine. A split collar 15' 4'! is clamped to the shaft 46 by means oiloap screws 48. It will, therefore, be apparent that, by loosening the screws 48, sliding the wharf! up or down the post 46=to the desired position and then tighteningthescrews' 48; 'th'emounti'ng assembly can be adjusted to and cl'amped iir any. selected verti'calposition:

A ffirthei" adjustment feature of tire-machine is provided by the eccentric mountlngof the'cross" headj Z'I on the"bumper=-pin" 19. As stated hereinabovee andas-shown in Figure 2 orth'e drawing; the ends -M- of th'e bumper" pin are eccentric. It happens frequently that some slight vertical adjustment of the bumper steel is" requiredf in addition'to-adjustments'of the guide-arm'mount ing assembly; 45 -on post 46 5- Th-is' slight adjustment may be accomplislied by loosening 'thecap" screws 33, turning the bumper pin l9 until the exact adjustment has been made, and then tightening the cap screws.
It will thus be apparent that a can body maker has been provided which avoids the necessity of employing a slide for guiding the cross head and bumper steel, and which avoids the major disadvantagesmfl a slide such as fouling of the slide andan undesirabl'y great oven all height of the machine. The bumper guide illustrated in the drawings and described above, is simple in construction and operation. It can be readily adjusted to provide an absolute vertical movement oi the bumper steel at the moment of impact; or" it can be adjusted to cause the bumper steel to hammer the seam more on one side or the other, as desired. Furthermore, the bumper guide can be readily adjusted to accommodate the machine to can bodies of different diameters.
A feature i of major 's'ig-nific'ance or: m'y'mac-li'ihe is that it does not coiistrain the bumperst'eel' to vertical movement but allows it to swing inan arc: The-disadvantages of'slides are, therefore; avoided- Also; my machiIie has an" advantage over' parallel links which have also been used heretofore to guide a bum'per steel; A difliculty inherent in parallel link guides isj. that the bumper is alwaysfim'a'intained i'ri a vertical posi-" tion',- but must necessarily shifti laterally during: movement.
