Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Band buckle method of making the buckle, and tool for applying the buckle to lapped ends of a looped band.
  • the buckle is provided with apertures or cutouts in its sidewalls into which wedging ends of the tool may enter and form locking detents or dimples in the outer hand without shear or removal of the band cross section thereat, thereby retaining uniform ten- 93 2 sional strength of the band at all cross sections thereof.
  • the method includes the steps of forming a flat blank with the [56] m- Cited apertures therein and thence bending or folding it along predetermin' ed fold lines to form a buckle of conventional UNITED STATES PATENTS channel shape, the folds being so chosen relative to each aperture to dispose a portion thereof in a sidewall of the buckle 1 gora ..24/23 W and the remaining portion in the top wall and the final steps of 3 il/1927 P applying the buckle to the band and forming the locking de- 58 5/1938 gfig tents.
  • the tool employs pair of pivoted crimping or dimpling 2298658 10/1942 S f'" jaws and a buckle pressure applying member which are 100O083 8,1911 it l9 1 H operated in the desired sequence by cams directly engageable therewith, preferably eliminating links or other mechanism FOREIGN PATENTS 0 APPLICATIONS which would otherwise complicate the apparatus.
  • the tool of the present invention BAND BUCKLE, METHOD OF MAKING AND TOOL FOR APPLYING BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • a strap or band of metal which encircles or otherwise extends about a member or members, or a plurality of articles in a bundle, which is tensioned and its ends then secured together with alocking member, variously referred to as a seal, sleeve, or buckle.
  • the bucklejs commonly formed of ductile sheet material, such as steel, which is bent into the form of a tube having a rectangular channel in which the band ends are disposed in lapped relation after which a cold crimping or swaging action locks the buckle and band ends together.
  • portions of the band edges are sheared and bent laterally to provide locks engageable with corresponding apertures or sheared portions in' the buckle, 1,988,742.
  • the cross-section of the band is reduced at its transverse points where the shear locks or lugs occur, the strength of the band in tension is reduced.
  • the band is not weakened by shearing portions of its cross section, but on the contrary, a suitable aperture is provided in the buckle into which the band is crimped, forming a lock, but maintaining the cross section of the band-essentially the same as prior thereto.
  • the present invention is most closely related to this latter technique.
  • the present invention is conventional to the extent that a buckle is blanked and bentinto a sleeve having a rectangular opening or channel in which ends of a band are disposed in overlapping relation and locked to the buckle.
  • One of the features of novelty resides in the position and shape of cutouts at the opposite edges of the buckle into which the upper or outer band is crimped to provide locking-dimples or detents.
  • Another feature of novelty resides in the shape of the jaws of a tool andtheir manner of operation for-forming the detents.
  • a camming mechanism for the jaws which preferably eliminates links and the like, the camming mechanism being so constructed to operate in three angular stages; first, to close the jaws and produce a crimp or dimple, next to open the jaws, and lastly, to operate a member to separate the top band adjacent oneend of the buckle. Return rotation of an actuating member, such as a lever, operates the separating member and jaws as it is moved to its initial position to return the parts to their original positions for repeating the operations on the next band to be secured by a buckle.
  • an actuating member such as a lever
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan as viewed in the direction of arrow 3, FIGS. 1 and 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a section taken on line 4-4, FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 5 is a plan of a punched buckle blank before being bent
  • FIG. 6 is a side elevation, partly in section, of the buckle after being bent and applied to a band, the band also being locked to the buckle and about to be severed by the buckle applying apparatus;
  • FIG. 7 is a top plan as viewed in the direction of arrow 7, FIG. 6, portions being broken away;
  • FIG. 8 is a front elevation of a band dimpling member
  • FIG. 9 is a section'taken on line 9-9, FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 10 is an elevation as viewed in the direction of arrow 10, FIG. 8.
  • the buckle B employed with the invention comprises an elongated blank punched from sheet metal of desired width and length'which provides, after being bent, a top wall 10, opposite sidewalls 12,12 and bottom walls 14,14 which are spaced parallel to the top wall to provide a rectangular channel 16 (FIG. 6) of a desired thickness to receive at least two thicknesses of the band 18 which is to be locked to the buckle.
  • a pair of circular apertures 20,20 are also punched, as illustrated in FIG. 5, so that their centers are approximately on top fold lines 22,22.
  • the channel 16 for receiving ends of band 18 is substantially rectangular in cross section and of a size to receive at least two thicknesses of the band 18.
  • two thicknesses have been illustrated in FIG. 6 but, as is conventional in the art, more may be provided, as desired, the buckle being so bent and its top and bottom walls spaced, accordingly.
  • each aperture 20 will be generally semicircular in the top wall, as shown in FIG. 7, and the other semicircular half of the aperture will be in a sidewall 12 which, as will subsequently appear, provides access for a dimpling jaw.
  • one end of band 18 is provided with a conventional back-fold 26 for locking it to the buckle.
  • the band 18 is now disposed around the article and a tension force is applied in the direction of arrow 28, contracting the band around the article with the desired tension.
  • Jaws35 of the locking or dimpling tool to be subsequently described, then move simultaneously toward each other, their ends engaging beneath the top band and below the semicircular apertures in the top wall of the buckle. This jaw movement causes cold flow or slight stretching of portions of the top band into the semicircular apertures in the top wall, forming convex detents or dimples which have a general shape of a small segment of a sphere which have the same tensional strength of the band at all other cross sections thereof.
  • the top band is then sheared along plane 30 adjacent one end of the buckle by a pressure blade 32 which will be subsequently described in greater detail.
  • FIGS. 8 to 10 illustrate the construction of the end or tip 34 of each dimpling jaw 35.
  • its lower surface 36 is flat.
  • Its upper surface 38 is convex, as illustrated in FIG. 9, and tapers to a generally semicircular sharp edge 39. It thus forms a wedge having a flat-side and an opposite convex side which is increasing in cross section in a direction away from its convex edge.
  • the crimping or dimpling tool comprises a body or frame 40 which may be affixed to a suitable tensioning device, as previously referred to.
  • a pair of jaw actuators or levers 42,42 are pivotally connected to the frame by pivot pins 46,46 and a tie bar 48 prevents spreading of t the outer ends of the pins under the considerable actuating force applied to the levers.
  • Each lever is provided with a hemispherical socket 50 which rotatably receives a hardened ball 52 which serves as a cam follower for cam 54.
  • Cam 54 is pivotally connected to the frame by a pivot pin 56 and may be rotated in any desired manner, such as by a lever 58 having a hand crank 60 at its end.
  • the cam 54 is provided with like milled recesses or surfaces in its opposite faces, thus forming a pair of circular face cams, each of which engages a ball follower 52.
  • each face cam is provided with a pair of circular depressions 62,64, which are joined by a ramp 66.
  • a compression spring 68 maintains the ball followers against the cams.
  • levers or jaw actuators 42 are normally in open position.
  • ramps 66 first close the jaws 35 as the followers ride up the left faces (FIG. 4) of the ramp after which they ride down the right faces of the ramps, again opening the jaws.
  • a backing or spacer plate 78 and a shear plate or anvil 80 are secured to the bottom of body 40, spacer plate 78 having a rectangular recess in one face of same through which the band may slidably extend to the band tensioning device.
  • Plate 80 serves as the resisting member of a stationary shearing die across one edge of which the buckle 32 slides for severing the top band.
  • the transverse edge of blade 32 is preferably disposed at a slight angle to the perpendicular of its direction of movement so that the shearing action occurs gradually across the width of the band, thus reducing the force required for its shearing action.
  • FIG. 1A illustrates an alternative construction in which spring 76 is eliminated and in lieu thereof member 32 is pivotally connected to frame 40 by pin 82 and is operated by a separate sliding member 32a.
  • a slidable plunger 84 moves member 32 to its initial position, as shown, when lever 58 engages same as it is returned to its original position.
  • Apparatus for securing a looped flat band to a buckle said buckle having parallel spaced top and bottom walls and sidewalls joining same, providing a substantially rectangular opening between its ends through which extend at least two thicknesses of the band in lapped relationship forming an outer end portion and an inner adjacent portion, said sidewalls each having a first aperture through same, joining a second aperture in the top wall disposed adjacent a side edge of same, the first apertures providing access for portions of a band crimping device, the second apertures providing recesses into which only the outer band portion may be partially crimped for securing it to the buckle, said apparatus, comprising:
  • a a pair of movable members, each having a wedgelike end adapted to enter a first aperture and between said outer and inner portions, and
  • a buckle for securing ends of a looped band together, the buckle having parallel spaced top and bottom walls and sidewalls joining same, providing a substantially rectangular opening between its ends through which at least two thicknesses of the band are adapted to extend in lapped relationship, forming'an outer slidable end portion and an inner adjacent portion previously affixed to the buckle, the improvements, in combination, comprising: pl
  • the first apertures providing access for wedgelike ends of a band crimping device to enter between said portions in lateral directions toward each other
  • the second apertures providing recesses into which only said outer band portion may be crimped without shearing same, in directions away from said adjacent portion, to form locking detents disposed therein.
  • a buckle in accordance with claim 6 in combination with the band and locking detents.
  • a method of making a band securing buckle from a blank of a predetermined length of flat strip stock and securing it to ends of the band comprising the steps of:
  • the folds being made to cross the apertures and dispose a portion of each in a sidewall and its remaining joining semicircular portion in the top wall adjacent a side edge of the top wall to form a recess into which portions of only said outer portion of the band may be crimped to provide locking detents,
