9 Claims. (CI. 81-54) This invention relates to a fastening device for tightening fasteners, such as nuts, bolts and the like, to a work piece and more particularly to a fastening device that includes a rotating feed through socket.
One object of this invention is to insure that a fastener will enter the feed through socket in proper alignment with the socket conformation presented to the fastener.
Further objects will become obvious from the following description and drawings in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal view, partily in section, showing one form of the invention,
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 1 taken along the line 22 looking in the direction of the arrows,
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal view, partly in section, showing a second form of the invention,
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional View of Fig. 3 taken along the line 44 looking in the direction of the arrows,
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal view, partly in section, showing a third form of the invention, and
Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of Fig. 5 taken along the line 66 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Referring to the drawings and first to Figure 1, a stationary chute 10 conveys a fastener, in this instance a nut 14, from a source (not shown) through a delivery chute 11, and a passageway 12 in the chute 10 to a rotating feed through socket 16. The nut 14 is then urged from the chute passageway 12 through a bore 18 in the socket 16 into contact with a work piece by any suitable means, such as a plunger 20 which extends into the chute passageway 12 and is actuated by any suitable means. The bore 18 extends through the socket 16 and has at least a portion there of with a conformation adapted to positively engage the nut 14 to have it rotate with the socket 16. Therefore, when the rotating nut 14 is brought into contact with the work piece, it is tightened to said piece. In this instance in order to have the nut 14 and the socket 16 rotate together the bore conformation of the socket 16 is of the same general cross-section as the nut 14 but of slightly greater diameter.
To insure that the nut 14 will be properly fed into said bore portion adapted to positively engage the nut 14 a holding means 24 holds the nut 14 until the bore entrance portion 26 will allow the nut 14 to pass through the bore 18 without binding at such entrance of said bore. In the particular form of the invention shown what would be a likely occurrence without the means 24 is that a corner of the nut 14 being fed into the socket 16 would come in contact with a fiat of the bore conformation, thereby preventing the passage of said nut 14 through the bore 18. To prevent this from happening the means 24 holds the nut 14 so that the socket 16 rotates relative to the nut 14 until the nut flats line up with the corresponding bore flats at which time the plunger 20 constantly urging the nut 14 into the socket 16 will move it thereinto.
Figs. 1 and 2 show the holding means 24 as a simple ball arrangement comprising balls 28 which releasably engage the nut 14. This means 24 also include springs 30 which constantly urge the balls 28 toward the chute passageway 12 and set screws 32 to adjust the compression on the springs 30. These holding elements 28, 30 and 32 are housed in transverse bores 34 extending through the chute walls at the chute end 36 adjacent the socket entrance 26. The bore ends opening to the chute passageway 12 are tapered to prevent the balls 28 from dropping into said passageway 12. The balls 28 are spring presented into the path of the nut 14 to releasably hold the nut 14 so that the socket 16 rotates relative to said nut 14 as it is being fed through the chute end 36 by the plunger 20. When the socket 16 presents a bore conformation that will allow said nut 14 to pass therethrough the plunger 20 moves the nut 14 into the socket entrance 26.
Figs. 3 and 4 show another form of the invention including the chute 10', the rotatable socket 16', the plunger 20 and the holding means 24' which are functionally the same as the corresponding elements 10, 16, 20 and 24 in Fig. l and Fig. 2.
Structurally, unlike the corresponding element in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the chute 10 includes a chute stem 38 which conveys the nuts 14 to a chute head 40. This head 40 has a central bore which houses the plunger 20' and the holding means 24', and has one end 36' in communication With the entrance 26 of the rotatable socket 16'.
In this form of the invention to assure the passage of the nut 14' through the bore 18' the holding means 24' includes a pair of arms 42 pivotally attached at their rear ends to the head 40, and a pair of leaf springs 48 attached to the rear of the head 40 constantly urging the arms 42 inwardly by pressing against their outer surfaces 46. The inner surfaces 50 of the arms 42 define cam surfaces 54 located at the rear end portion of the arms 42 which are angularly displaced with respect to each other to form a tapered opening 49 wider at the rear than at the front. The arm inner surfaces 50 further define a recess 52 for containing a nut 14' conveyed to the head 40 and into which the smaller end of the tapered passage 49 opens and a pair of jaws 53 having surfaces angularly displaced with respect to each other forming a tapered opening 51 wider at the rear end portion than at the front portion. These jaws 53 define the front end portion of the recess 52 and are located adjacent the socket entrance 26'. After a nut 14 is conveyed to the recess 52 the plunger 20' is actuated by any suitable means and moves through the tapered opening 49 acting as a cam by imparting outward motion to the arms 42 as it comes in contact with the cam surfaces 54 on the arms 42. This outward movement sufliciently increases the width \of the recess 52 and the jaw tapered opening 51 so that the nut 14' contained in the recess 52 will move into the jaws 53. The nut 14' is then held by the jaws 53 until the cross-sectional conformation of the nut 14' is aligned with a bore conformation that will allow the nut 14' to pass through the bore 18. When the nut 14' and bore conformation are so aligned the plunger 20 will move the nut 14 through the socket 16' into contact with the work piece, whereby because of its rotation the nut 14' is fastened to the work piece.
In a third form of the invention shown in Figs. 5 and 6 the holding means 24 is especially adapted for thin fasteners like nut 14". This means 24" includes three arc shaped arms 56 placed about the passage 12 of the chute 10" which are pivotally attached at one end 64 'to the chute end 36" adjacent the socket entrance 26". The opposite end 66 of each arm 56 defines projection 68 which is spring pressed into the path of the nut 14" by a spring type 0 ring 58 encircling the arm 56.
The rearward surfaces 70 of the projections 68 are inclined rearwardly from the inner ends 72 of said projections 68 with respect to the longitudinal axis of the socket bore 18" to define cam surfaces. The projection inner end surfaces 72 are tapered to form edges 74 whichoare substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis ofsaid bore 18". When thenut 14" is being moved from the chute end '36" into the socket entrance 26' by the plunger 20 said nut 14" first comes in contact with the cam surfaces 70 moving therarms 56 in an outward direction untilrthe tapered surfaces 72 present an opening suflicient in size to releasably hold the nut 14". The leading edges 74 hold the nut 14" so that there is relative rotation between the nut 14" and the socket 16" until the socket conformation presented to the nut 14" is such that the pasi sage of the nut 14" through the socket 16" is assured. Briefly reviewing the overall operation of the unit by using the form of the invention as shown in Figs. 1 and 2,
the nut 14 is conveyed to the bore 18 of the rotating feed 7 through socket 16 by the stationary chute 10. The bore 18 of the socket 16 extends therethrough being adapted for the passage of the nut 14 and having a conformation .of the same general cross section as the nut 14 but of slightly greater diameter so that the nut 14 rotates with the socket 16. T o prevent the nut 14 from hanging up at the socket entrance 26 the holding means 24 engages the nut 14 holding it until the nut flats line up with the corresponding bore flats at which time the plunger will move it into the bore 18. The plunger 20 then moves the nut 14 through socket 16 into contact with the work piece and since the nut 14 is rotating it will be tightened on said work piece.
