- The. plate '40 is provide,d with a plurality of openings *in 'Which%bearing sleeves 43 are disposed, these sleeves serving as guidesfor pins 44 which extend upwardly "from a crosshead 45., this .cros'shead being secured "as .at "4610 Ithe'upper end of ran137.

- band support 48 has its exterior wall -taperedsim'ibr'lyto the band 50. support 48 will move with the die. -tioned, the lower power cylinder tends to resist move- -ment of the band support 48. This resistance is suptaper of the opening 57. It will be obvious that in orderto cause the band to compress,and be reduced in diameter it will be necessary to resist longitudinal movement of the band in the direction in which the die 52 is moved. The band support is, therefore, carried by the ram 37, of the lower power cylinder 36 and fluid under pressure is supplied to the lower end of this power cylinder to resist movement of the ram. It will be noted from Figs. 3 to 6, inclusive, that the upper end of the opening in the die 52 is only slightly greater in diameter than the exterior of the body 41.
- the die 52 If the die 52 is permitted to move downwardly far enough relative to the support 48, the latter may be engaged and damaged by the die or in turn cause damage to the die. It is, therefore, a feature of the invention to cause the support 48 to move in unison with the die after the band 50 has been partially compressed into the groove 51.
- the support 48 is provided with a shoulder 58 which will be engaged by the die 52 after the latter has moved a distance sufficient to partially compress the band 50 into the groove 51, this distance being insufficient to permit the sides of the die at the opening 57 to engage the exterior of the support 48. After the die 52 engages the shoulder 58, the band support 48 will be moved by the die away from the band 50.
- the band will be prevented from movement longitudinally, however, through engagement of the band with the shoulder at the lower side of the groove 51. the continued compression of the band 50 into the groove 51 until the band is finally compressed by the smallest diameter of the die opening 57.
- The'die is moved relative to the body 41 until it passes completely beyond the After the die has engaged the shoulder 58 the As has been menplied by fluid trapped in the lower end of the power cylinder 36.
- cylinder 36 receives fluid from pump 35 through a line in which a check valve 59 is positioned. This check valve prevents reverse flow of fluid so that when the die 52 engages the band 50 the latter will be prevented from 'moving and imparting motion to the support 48 and ram 37.
- the fluid pressure being supplied I to the power cylinder 36 by the pump will cause the band support 48 to move or be returned to its operative position as the die 52 is retracted.
- the parts of the -mechanism will then be in position for the next succeeding operation.
- the first step in the operation is the placing of a band on the support 48; this operation may be performed manually or by any other suitable means.
- the next step consists in inserting the body 41 through the opening in the die, through the band 50 and support f48and into the seat 39. It will be obvious from the foregoing that the seat 39 Continued movement of the die will cause "as a is rigidly secured to the forwardly projecting base portion of the press and is immovable.
- the band support Due to the mounting of the band support on the ram of the power cylinder 36 the band support is yieldably held against longitudinal movement until the shoulder on the band support is engaged by the die during its movement to compress the band.
- Fig. 5 shows the mechanism immediately after the die has engaged the shoulder on the band support and partially withdrawn the support from the band. It will be noted from this figure that the band has been partially compressed into the groove 51 so that the lower edge of the band is in engagement with the lower edge of the groove 51. This engagement prevents the band from moving longitudinally as the die is moved, consequently, the compression of the band into the groove will continue as the die moves.' By this method the life of the banding tools or mechanism will be lengthened and the banding operation expedited. It will be obvious that the mechanism may be modified in many Ways without affecting the method.
- the electrical circuits for the motors 26 and 34 are arranged so that the motor 34 for the cylinder 36 is started before the other motor.
- the electrical circuits are shown in Fig. 9. It will be seen from this figure that the closing of manual switch 61 will complete the circuit for relay 62 which operates a switch 63 to energize motor 34.
- Relay 62 also operates a switch 64 which partially controls a circuit for a second relay 65, the latter in turn controlling a switch 66 for the motor 26.
- a second manual switch 67 cooperates with switch 64 to control the second relay 65. After switches 61 and 67 are momentarily closed, the relays will maintain the circuits closed until normally closed switches 68 are operated to break the circuits. After the circuits are broken it will be necessary to first close switch 61 before the circuit for motor 26 can be completed by closing switch 67.

To tforoe-uthebandinto the groove a compressing 'die,

JIFhe'dieSZ .is-dormed with artaperedwopening 57 which 'islin ax'ia'l registration with .the seat .39 and band support 4,8.-.and consequently the shell .body 41. .As .the die moves infa downwarddirection when ashellbody .and band are -disposed jimthe .seat and .on the support 48,. respectively, .1t'he.tapered ..sides offthe.-.op ening;57 will engage. the band compress the .samei'from all sides. toward .the center cansingthe band'to enter'the groove 5.1. 'TIlEhe .band support 48 has its exterior wall -taperedsim'ibr'lyto the band 50. support 48 will move with the die. -tioned, the lower power cylinder tends to resist move- -ment of the band support 48. This resistance is suptaper of the opening 57. It will be obvious that in orderto cause the band to compress,and be reduced in diameter it will be necessary to resist longitudinal movement of the band in the direction in which the die 52 is moved. The band support is, therefore, carried by the ram 37, of the lower power cylinder 36 and fluid under pressure is supplied to the lower end of this power cylinder to resist movement of the ram. It will be noted from Figs. 3 to 6, inclusive, that the upper end of the opening in the die 52 is only slightly greater in diameter than the exterior of the body 41.
If the die 52 is permitted to move downwardly far enough relative to the support 48, the latter may be engaged and damaged by the die or in turn cause damage to the die. It is, therefore, a feature of the invention to cause the support 48 to move in unison with the die after the band 50 has been partially compressed into the groove 51. To facilitate this operation, the support 48 is provided with a shoulder 58 which will be engaged by the die 52 after the latter has moved a distance sufficient to partially compress the band 50 into the groove 51, this distance being insufficient to permit the sides of the die at the opening 57 to engage the exterior of the support 48. After the die 52 engages the shoulder 58, the band support 48 will be moved by the die away from the band 50. The band will be prevented from movement longitudinally, however, through engagement of the band with the shoulder at the lower side of the groove 51. the continued compression of the band 50 into the groove 51 until the band is finally compressed by the smallest diameter of the die opening 57. The'die is moved relative to the body 41 until it passes completely beyond the After the die has engaged the shoulder 58 the As has been menplied by fluid trapped in the lower end of the power cylinder 36. As shown in the diagrammatic view in Fig. 8, cylinder 36 receives fluid from pump 35 through a line in which a check valve 59 is positioned. This check valve prevents reverse flow of fluid so that when the die 52 engages the band 50 the latter will be prevented from 'moving and imparting motion to the support 48 and ram 37. By resisting longitudinal movement of the band,
while the die 52 is moving,the band will be caused to contract and move into the groove 51. After the die has engaged shoulder 58, however, the support 48 must move with the die. This movement is made possible by disposing a relief valve 60 in a line connecting the ends of cylinder 36. This relief valve 60 will be set to resist fluid flow from the lower to the upper end of the cylinder until the pressure on the fluid is in excess of that necessary to resist longitudinal movement of the band by the die. When the die imparts force directly to the ram 37 through the shoulder 58, however, the valve 60 will permit fluid flow and ram 37 and support 48 will move downwardly at the same rate as the ram 32. As previously pointed out, the initial movement of the die 52 downwardly around the band forces the band partially into the groove 51, then, when the die moves the support 48 away from the band, the bottom wall of the groove will support the hand against longitudinal movement and the continued movement of the die will complete the compression of the band into the groove.
After the die has moved beyond the band the flow of fluid to the power cylinder will be reversed causing the die to be retracted. Due to the inherent resiliency of the material of the band the latter will expand slightly after the die has passed beyond it permitting the lower edge of the band to engage the top surface of the die and be elevated together with the body 41 from the seat 39 as the die is retracted. The fluid pressure being supplied I to the power cylinder 36 by the pump will cause the band support 48 to move or be returned to its operative position as the die 52 is retracted. The parts of the -mechanism will then be in position for the next succeeding operation. The first step in the operation is the placing of a band on the support 48; this operation may be performed manually or by any other suitable means.
The next step consists in inserting the body 41 through the opening in the die, through the band 50 and support f48and into the seat 39. It will be obvious from the foregoing that the seat 39 Continued movement of the die will cause "as a is rigidly secured to the forwardly projecting base portion of the press and is immovable.
Due to the mounting of the band support on the ram of the power cylinder 36 the band support is yieldably held against longitudinal movement until the shoulder on the band support is engaged by the die during its movement to compress the band.
Fig. 5 shows the mechanism immediately after the die has engaged the shoulder on the band support and partially withdrawn the support from the band. It will be noted from this figure that the band has been partially compressed into the groove 51 so that the lower edge of the band is in engagement with the lower edge of the groove 51. This engagement prevents the band from moving longitudinally as the die is moved, consequently, the compression of the band into the groove will continue as the die moves.' By this method the life of the banding tools or mechanism will be lengthened and the banding operation expedited. It will be obvious that the mechanism may be modified in many Ways without affecting the method.
To avoid possible jamming and injury to the tooling, the electrical circuits for the motors 26 and 34 are arranged so that the motor 34 for the cylinder 36 is started before the other motor. The electrical circuits are shown in Fig. 9. It will be seen from this figure that the closing of manual switch 61 will complete the circuit for relay 62 which operates a switch 63 to energize motor 34. Relay 62 also operates a switch 64 which partially controls a circuit for a second relay 65, the latter in turn controlling a switch 66 for the motor 26. A second manual switch 67 cooperates with switch 64 to control the second relay 65. After switches 61 and 67 are momentarily closed, the relays will maintain the circuits closed until normally closed switches 68 are operated to break the circuits. After the circuits are broken it will be necessary to first close switch 61 before the circuit for motor 26 can be completed by closing switch 67.
While the form of embodiment of the present invention as herein disclosed constitutes a preferred form, it is to be understood that other forms might be adopted, all coming within the scope of the claims which follow.
