- the pivotable arm 36 is urged against the fixed arm 36 by a spring 38 to keep the gripping portion 37 closed at the outer end portions of the respective gripping arms.
- the pivotable arm 36 of the gripping means 35 is opened against the biasing force of the spring 38 by an operating member when said gripping means is located at the station U, and thereby the gripping portion 37 is opened slightly so that the gripping arms can grip the container 5 from both sides without interfering with the upward movement of said container and hold the same against downward movement together with the molding tube 13 when said molding tube is lowered.
- Numeral 39 designates the curling means by which the open edge of the container 5 is curled inwardly after the powder has been molded into, a predetermined shape within the container.
- the curling means is provided at the station V and comprises, as shown in FIG.
- numeral 43 designates a plurality of U-shaped engaging members provided on the base plate 24. These engaging members 43 engage the rollers 23, 23 provided on both sides of the beam 22 and cause the center pin 20 to oscillate vertically through said beam.
- Each of the engaging members 43 is operatively connected to a lever mechanism 46 at the lower end of a shaft 45 thereof and said lever mechanism 46 is operated by a rotary cam 47.
- Numeral 48 designates a spring to bias the lever mechanism 46 constantly upwardly. Therefore, the engaging members 43 is also constantly biased upwardly by the spring 48.
- the roller 23' which is one of the two rollers provided on the beam 22 is located in the annular guide rail 49 having a U-shaped cross-section and rolls therein while being guided thereby. If the roller 23' were to be still located in the guide rail 49 when the other roller 23 has been brought into engagement with the engaging member 43, it would be impossible for the roller to oscillate vertically. Therefore, the guide rail 49 is partially broken at locations where the roller 23 engages the respective engaging members 43, so that the roller 23 can oscillate vertically together with the engaging member 43. Namely, the engaging members 43 are provided in a pair for engagement with both of the rollers 23, 23' and one of the engaging members which engages the roller 23 is provided in the borken portion of the guide rail 49 to constitute part of said guide rail.

- M O are the stations where a powder (positive electrode depolarizer) is charged into the dies 3 and 7 from the three hoppers.
- a powder positive electrode depolarizer
- the position A of the main rotary table 1 is located below the hopper which is located above the station M though not apparent in FIG. 1
- said hopper is oscillated horizontally by the cam 26, so that the powder contained in the hopper is charged into the dies 3 and 7 while being prevented from cross-linking and without being permitted to agglomerate.
- the rollers 23, 23' are in engagement with the first engaging members 43 provided below that station M, so that the center pin 20 having the top end thereof located within the die 7 is oscillated vertically and thereby the powder is charged to the bottom of the die 7.
- the main rotary table 1 is rotated 45 in a clockwise direction, whereby the dies 3 and 7 having previously been held stationary at the station M are shifted to the station N and the hopper 27 at said station is similarly oscillated horizontally by the cam 26 to charge the powder into the dies.
- the powder thus charged in the dies is well packed therein by the action of the centerpin 20 which is again oscillated due to engagement with the second engaging members 43.
- the roller 23'- is progressively pushed upward by the guide rail 49, so that thetop end of the center pin 20 is raised within'the die 7 correspondingly.
- the rotary table 1 is rotated through another 45, so that the position A is shifted from the station N to the station to locate the dies 3 and 7 below the hopper 28.
- the hopper 28 is oscillated horizontally by the cam 26 and the powder in said hopper is charged into the dies.
- the roller 23' rolls in the guide rail 49 while being guided thereby and engages the third engaging member 43, with the other roller 23 engaging the other one of the pair of engaging members. Therefore, the center pin 20 is again oscillated vertically, whereby the powder is packed more satisfactorily and any possible irregularity in charging quantity can be corrected.
- the powder is packed tightly at a uniform density in a vertical direction.
- the center pin 20 is raised by the height b shown in'FlG. 3 due to the engagement between the rollers 23, 23 and the third engaging members 43, and is maintained at the same level even after the rollers 23, 23' roll onto the guide rail 49.
- the table 1 is further rotated clockwise and the position A of the table is shifted from the station 0 to the station P.
- a container is placed in the die 3, flush with the die 3, by the container feed lever 30, with the bottom wall facing upwardly and the open end facing downwardly.
- the top end of the center pin 20 in the die 3 is located at a level b higher than the original level and the open end of the container 5 rests on the shoulder 6 formed at the junction of the dies 3 and 7. Therefore, the container 5 is not permitted to move deeper into the die and the top end of the center pin 20 engages the inner bottom wall of the container 5, with the edge of the open end of said container resting on said shoulder 6.
- the station Q is an idle station.
- the ram 34 of the press 33 moves downward and engages the bottom wall of the container 5 to hold the container so that it may not be pushed upward from the die 3 under an upward molding pressure.
- the lower end 50 of the sliding member is pushed up by an oil cylinder or the like provided on the base plate 24, so that the molding tube 13 is moved upward and the powder in the die .7 is moved into the container 5 and compressed therein by the molding tube 13, whereby said powder is molded into a cylindrical shape conforming to the shape of the tapered top end portion of thec'enter pin 20.
- the air present in the, powder is released to the outside through the axial hole 20' of the center pin 20.
- the lower portion of the sliding member 15 is moved by the pressing means a distance only sufficient .to cause a flange 51 to move I upward to the position 51', which flange 51 is formed integrally on the molding tube 13.
- the ram 34 of the press 33 is moved upward to the original position and the container 5 is shifted from the station R to the station S while being carried on the table 1 rotating 45 in a clockwise direction.
- the top end of the molding tube 13 is maintained at the same level as it was at the station R, by the pressure from the pressing means.
- the center pin 20 is slightly lowered at the station R upon completion of the compressionmolding and maintained in that position to facilitate the removal of the container 5 at the following station S.
- the container 5 gripped by the gripping means 35 and having the compression-molded powder therein is carried to the station V, where the edge of the lower end of the container 5 is curled inwardly by the curling means 39 in the manner shown in FIG. 11.
- the die 3 which has been emptied upon removal of the container 5 therefrom is shifted from the station- S to the idling station T while being carried by the rotating table 1.
- a pair of rollers 19 provided on both sides of the lower portion of the sliding member 15 are gradually lowered from the elevated position to the same level as they are at the station M by return guide means and hence the molding tube 13 is also returned to the original position.
- the center pin 20 is also lowered to the same position as it was at the station M, like the molding tube 13.
- the container 5 which has been subjected to the curling operation at the station V while being held by the gripping means, is located at the idling station W by the table 2 upon rotation of said table through an angle of and then further shifted to the station X, where it is slipped down from the gripping portion 37 of the gripping means 35 by a pressure applied thereto from the upper side and delivered to the next working station.
- the container 5 In the compression-molding of the powder within the container 5, the container 5 is held against upward movement by the ram 34, as stated above.
- the coil spring 11 is provided between the shoulder.l2 of the die 7 and the closure member 10 which closes the lower end of the sleeve portion 8, the dies 3, 7 or the flange member 4 will not be subjected to an unnecessarily large pressure even if the ram 34 is lowered excessively, the coilspring 11 only being compressed .as shown in FIG. 12. Therefore, the table 1 or the flange member 4 will not be damaged by the ram,
- the powder molding device since the powder molding device is provided below each ofa plurality of dies mounted on the main rotary table, the steps of charging the powder into the die, transferring the powder from the die into the container and compression-molding the powder within the container, can be operated successively as the container is shifted from one station to another while being carried by the main rotary table. Therefore, the apparatus of the present invention is highly adapted to mass production. It is also to be noted that in operating the present apparatus, a smaller amount of the powder is permitted to leak from the container than in case of the apparatus of the type wherein the container is held above the die. Another advantage of the present invention is that the residence time of the container at each station can be minimized due to the fact that the amount of movement of the powder at each station in charging the powder into the die or in transferring the powder from the die into the container is small.
