Definitions

  • My invention relates to an insertion tool whereby mating articles may be driven together with sufficient force to provide a tight connection.
  • such an article may be a taper pin which is required to be driven into a mating socket with suthcient force to insure adequate holding power and contact.
  • An impact center punch type of tool may be used, employing a spring for establishing a predetermined impact, and requiring special tips for fitting specific taper pins.
  • the taper pin may be accidentally freed from the tool before the -full impact has been received by the pin, thereby making an imperfect connection.
  • onev of the primary objects of my inyention is to provide a taper pin insertion tool which will prevent accidental release of the taper pin during the impact stroke.
  • Another object is to provide an insertion tool which will insure a good connection each time the tool is used, regardless of the experience of the individual operating the tool.
  • Fig. 1 is a longitudinally sectional view of the invenl tion with ⁇ a taper pin in position therein.
  • Fig. 2 is an end view of the tool.
  • Fig. 3 is a modification, in partial section, of the connector gripping means shown in open position.
  • Fig. 4 is a similar view of a modification in closed or locked position.
  • the tool 10 illustrated in Fig. 1 comprises a hollow cap 12, enclosing the impact spring 14, which urges Washer 16 against seat 17, in housing 18.
  • the cap is threaded to the housing as at 20, to secure the spring in chamber 22 formed between the cap and housing.
  • Sliding within chamber 24 of housing 18, and driving washer 16, is a plunger 26.
  • a iiat spring 28 is riveted as at 30 to plunger 26, urging the ring or latch 32 into peripheral slot 34 in the inner wall 36 of the housing 18.
  • the slot is tapered as at 38, to cam against the rounded shoulder 40 of the ring 32, and force the ring out of slot 34, when the ring is advanced.
  • the ring is contained in transverse slot 42 of the plunger, in which is longitudinally positioned the connector engaging shaft 44.
  • the e ⁇ nd 46 of the shaft travels in the plunger bore 48, until it is stopped by the end wall 50 of the bore.
  • a neck portion 52 of the shaft extends through the larger diameter of the hollow 54 of the ring 32, which permits the ring to move transversely on the shaft when dislodged by the spring 28 into the slot 34.
  • Shaft 44 is supported by the retainer bushing 56 which is threaded to the housing 18 and to a sleeve housing 58. Within the sleeve housing, the shaft 44 is enlarged to provide a ange 60 for supporting spring 62, .the oppo- 76 which rests on shoulder 78 of the taper pin.
  • a hollow and rotatable sleeve 66 abuts ange 60 and encircles connector engaging shaft 44.
  • the sleeve extends through its housing 58 at opening 59 and is provided with a connector opening 68.
  • the end of the connector engaging shaft 44 is hollow and is similarly provided with an opening 70 to receive the taper pin connector 72 with its wire conductor ,'74 crimped theret0. Y. 'i
  • the connector engaging shaft 44 terminates in anvil
  • the sleeve is rotated on ,the hollow shaft until Openings 68 and 70 are superimposed, enabling the taperpin and wire to vhe seated therein.
  • Fig. 2 shows the openings so positioned.
  • the sleeve is then rotated until the connector is locked in position.
  • the end'of the shaft is restricted as at 80 to permit catching thetaper pin between the shoulder 78 and the pin connector. body 82.
  • a cam slot 84 is provided in the rotatable sleeve 66, having a long arm 86 and a short arm 88; an elongated slot 85 is simlarlyprovided in shaft 44.
  • the cam screwY 90 is threaded in the sleeve housing 58 and extends into the short arm of slot 84 of sleeve 66 to permit rotation thereof and into slot 85 of shaft 44V to keep the shaft from turning when the sleeve is rotated.
  • a torsion spring 92 anchored on locking pin 94. is positioned .between the sleeve and shaft to maintain the proper longitudinal position therebetween.
  • the tool operates as follows: The connector '7.2" is placed into the openings 68 and 70, and the' sleeve 68 rotated 90 degrees on the shaft 44, bringing the cam screw 90 in line with the long arm 86 of slot 84.
  • ThisV permits a longitudinal movement ofrabout /e" of the shaft into the housing to lock the tool with the connector in secured position.
  • the inward movement forces ythe ring 32 into slot 34' latching the shaft in position, so that only completion of the impacting cycle'can put the shaft and sleeve in position for releasing the connector,
  • the tool and extending connector are placed in proper position for insertion, and'pressure is brought to bear upon the cap 12 compressing spring '14. This causes the ring to engage plunger 26, while riding along the wall of slot 34.
  • the predetermined pressure is obtained by threading the cap to the housing to the desired point, and driving pin 96 between the cap and housing to prevent accidental loosening.
  • FIG. 3 I have illustrated a modified form of connector locking means.
  • the shaft 44a terminates in a pair of spring action connector engaging jaws 66a, which are compressed by the jaw housing 58a against the spring action. The shaft is pressed into the housing, thus securely locking the connector until the impacting cycle is completed.
  • the jaws terminate in connector tting recesses a'which enclose the shoulder 78a of connector Y Patented Oct, 6.1'959- 70a and the actionof the shaft drives the anvil 76a against the taper pin shoulder 78a to impact the taper pin into its mating socket.
  • the jaws 66a may be threadedly mounted to the shaft 44a' as at 661)', see Fig. 4, to facilitate a change in size, or for replacement.
  • the tool is adaptable for use with other forms of articles, such as taper sockets which are driven by changing the shape of the article supporting means.
  • a driving tool for inserting an article comprising a plunger, a shaft, means for locking thereto the article to be inserted throughout the insertion, means for latching said shaft to said plunger, means for creating an impact force upon said article when said shaft is unlatched from the plunger.
  • the tool of claim 1 provided with means for locking the shaft in position Within the tool causing the article to lbe automatically locked to said shaft when the shaft reaches its locked position.
  • the tool of claim 2 provided with a rotatable sleeve outside the shaft, a torsion spring opposing relative motion between the sleeve and shaft for maintaining the relative position therebetween.
  • the tool of claim 2 provided with a rotatable sleeve outside the shaft for enclosing the article, a cam slot positioned in said sleeve having a long arm and a short arm, a projecting member positioned in said slot for controlling the position of said sleeve with respect to said tool.
  • a driving tool comprising a housing, an impact spring in said housing, a plunger for compressing said impact spring, a shaft movable with respect to said' plunger, a latch positioned between said plunger and said shaft and laterally movable with respect thereto for locking the shaft to said plunger, a catch formed in said housing, a spring for urging said latch laterally into said catch for holding the shaft .in locked position with re spect thereto, said shaft terminating -into a connector gripping means, means for locking a connector into said connector gripping means upon movement of said shaft into the lockedv position, means for releasing the latch for separating the plunger from the shaft upon compression of the impact spring when said latch has traveled a predetermined distance in said housing, to
