Definitions

  • bulge 17 imparts impetus or a snap action to the stop pin as the latter moves past the intermediate position illustrated on the extreme right in FIG 3 to thereby assure completion of the intended vertical movement of the pin to the lower set position in pad ll.
  • the pin assumes the lower set position in the lower extreme portion of aperture lli as illustrated by the center pin in FIG. 3 it is detented against bottom plate 13 by the restraining force of the bottom portion of resilient bulge 17 abutting against the upper portions of shoulders 2li.
  • stop pins l5 are re* stored to the upper inoperative extreme positions in the detent pad 11 by a camming action not shown, but well known in the art.
  • the pin box then :travels laterally in a reverse direction to regain the start position preparatory to another cycling of the machine.
  • pin 15 moves vertically under the force applied to the bottorn 26 of the pin by the camming mechanism and shoulders 2t) again engage and move past bulge t7 which will distort under the pressure applied to it by shoulders 2Q.
  • the contraction and ensuing expansion of the bulge 17 in the course of the pins return movement snaps the pin into its upper extreme position in the pad l1.
  • the resilient pad Il provides a novel structure detenting the stop pins in either their set or in their inoperative positionswith the inherent qualities of the pad imparting impetus or a snap action to a pin to assure that the pin completes an intended movement to either oi the two extreme positions in the detent pad.
  • This construction is advantageous in that no springs are used to position the pins in the pin box to detent the stop pins. ln addition, the cost of manufacture is reduced, and repair and maintenance of the pin box are kept to a minimum.
  • aperture 14 need not be circular but may be of rectangular configuration with bulge portions at those Wall portions of the aperture which are to be engaged by shoulders 20 of pin 15.
  • a pin box comprising (a) a pad member having a plurality of apertures,
  • detent means including means on the wall of each aperture cooperating with said pin limiting means to detent a pin at the limits of movement in a said aperture
  • said wall means of said detent means being yieldable upon movement of a pin from either of said pair of spaced positions past an intermediate position to supply impetus to a said pin in the direction of movement thereof.
  • a pin box comprising e (a) a pair of spaced parallel plates,
  • said detent means on the wall of each aperture being yieldable under pressure applied to said pins to allow said pins to move past said detent means.
  • a pin box of the class described comprising (a) a pair of spaced parallel plates,
  • each of said pins having a shoulder portion intermediate the ends thereof to limit the movement of said pin between the spaced plate-s
  • a pin box comprising (a) a pair of spaced parallel plates,
  • said second restraining means on the wall of said aperture further being distortable upon movement of said pin between said spaced positions past an intermediate position in said aperture to exert a force upon said pin in the direction of movement thereof.
  • a pin box comprising (a) a pair of spaced parallel plates,
  • a pin box comprising (a) a pair of spaced parallel plates,
  • a pin box comprising (a) a pair of spaced parallel plates,
  • said encircling bulges on the wall of each aperture being yieldable under pressure applied to said pins to allow said pins to move in a direction parallel to the axis of said pins past said encircling bulges in either direction.
  • a pin box comprising (a) resilient material having an aperture, f
  • (f) means cooperating with said pin when the latter is in one of said spaced positions for preventing movement of the pin in a direction away from said other position.
