Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Layout apparatus having a base, an upright column, a bracket slidable on the column, and a crossarm slidable relatively of the bracket is improved by utilizing a guide rail assembly that can be selectively secured to at least one or more locating stations, with the guide rail assembly including an arm support member within which may be received an arcuate guide to thus permit the rail to be pivoted around one locating station to the desired degree of angularity required.
  • a layout machine that includes a surface table having a plurality of grooves within which may be received wheels that depend from a base member.
  • An upright column receives a bracket that moves up and down on the column and further receives a crossarm member that is shiftable longitudinally of the bracket. Scribing means provided adjacent the end of the crossarm provide for three-dimensional marking. as explained in the aforementioned patents.
  • the invention consists of providing the work supporting surface of the work table with a series of locating stations that are laid out and accurately spaced given distances preferably around the perimeter of the table. A guide rail is then attached to one such station and can be secured with respect to another station if so desired so as to stabilize the guide rail with respect to the work table.
  • a support arm is releasably secured with respect to one of the locating stations associated with the guide rail, and this support arm carries an arcuate scale that is secured to the arm so that when the locating pin is removed in this area, the arcuate arm may be passed freely through the support and, by virtue of its attachment, to the rail to permit arcuate shifting or pivoting of the rail around the pivot point as defined by the Iocating station- In this manner an infinite number of planes can have measurements scribed therein simply by adjusting the location of the guide rail to the proper position.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the improvedlayout apparatus.
  • FIG. 2 is a plane view thereof partly broken away and in section.
  • FIGS. 3, 4, 5, and 6 are sectional views taken respectively on the lines 33, 44, 55, and 6-6 of FIG 2.
  • FIG. 5a is a sectional view taken on the line 5a5a of FIG. 5.
  • the improved layout apparatus includes a layout machine 11 adapted to slide along a guide rail assembly 12 that is secured with respect to one or more locating stations 13,13 that are, in turn, fixed with respect to the work surface 14 of a work table 15.
  • An arm support 16 supports a flat arcuate arm 17 having graduations 18 thereon, with the arm 17 being secured to the guide rail 12 and being movable relatively of the arm support 16 which is secured to a locating station 13, as best shown in FIG. 5 of the drawings.
  • the same includes a base 20 having the usual retractable wheels thereon of the type shown in Applicants aforementioned earlier patents for the purpose of facilitating movement across the work surface 14 of table 15.
  • Support arms 21 and 22 project from base 20 and are provided for the purpose of providing roller members 21a,21b on support arm 21 (see FIG. 6) and with it being noted that a similar set of roller members will depend from the arm 22 so as to engage the opposed sides of guide rail 12 in a manner similar to that shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings.
  • a knurled handle 23 is appropriately journaled within a housing 24 for connection with the roller 21b as shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings, with appropriate bearings 25,25 being provided for this purpose and with the arrangement being such that rotation of the handle 23 will result in rotation of the roller 21b so as to drive the base 20 relatively of the rail 12 by virtue of the frictional forces involved.
  • the handle 23 is connected to a shaft 23a and this shaft is, in turn, fixed to a circular plate 30 having an internal face 31.
  • the member 24 also supports, as shown in FIG. 4, an adjustment handle 31a having a shaft 32 that is appropriately journaled within bushings 33,33, with the shaft 32 having its outboard end in engagement with the internal face 31 of circular plate 30, as clearly shown in FIG. 4 of the drawings.
  • the layout machine 11 further includes an upright column 35 having graduations 36 provided thereon.
  • a bracket 40 is received about the column 35 and moves up and down thereon in a manner described in complete detail in Applicants earlier patents mentioned aforesaid.
  • the bracket 40 further receives a crossarm 41 that moves longitudinally within the bracket in the manner described in Applicants earlier patents mentioned aforesaid.
  • Marking means 42 and 43 are also provided on crossarm 41 for the purpose of effectuating accurate layout operations as has also been described in Applicants earlier patents aforesaid.
  • each locating station includes a base 45 that is epoxied as at 46 or otherwise secured to the work surface 14 of table 15, with an opening 45a being provided therein for clearance of the shot pin to be subsequently described.
  • An upper cylindrical plate member 47 is secured as by screws 48,48 to the top of plate member 45. This plate member 47 is provided with a bushing 49 within which the shot pin may be received.
  • the locating stations 13,13 are aligned at exact distances from each other so that the guide rail assembly 12 can be located accurately around the perimeter of the table.
  • the guide rail 12 is of generally flat elongate ruler-like configuration and includes longitudinal grooves 50 and 51 within which one or more appropriate scales 52 (see FIGS. 3 and 6) may be inserted. Alternatively, a precision digital readout rack could be inserted in one or both grooves.
  • the guide rail 12 also includes circular openings 53 within which a bushing 54 may be received, with the bushing 54 having a transverse pin 56 therein that may be received within the slot 57 of shot pin 58. By this arrangement the reduced neck portion of the shot pin may be lifted up to disengage the rail from the particular locating station 13 with which it has been associated. The exposed end of the pin can also be used as a handle.
  • the rail 12 further includes a support member 60 that is secured to the underside of the rail 12 by bolts 61,61 so as to provide support for the rail.
  • the rail 12 further includes an auxiliary support 70 that is appropriately secured, as by bolting or welding, to the rail and which further includes an opening 71 within which may be received a bolt or shot pin 72, as best shown in FIG. 5.
  • the purpose of this arrangement is to permit the bolt or shot pin 72 to be passed through an opening 17a in one arcuate end of the arcuate arm 17 so that the arm 17 is, in effect, tied or fixed to the rail 12.
  • the arm support bracket 16 is shown appropriately secured with respect to any given locating station 13 such as by being slipped over the same and tightened in place by the handle 81 which operates on the split end of bracket 16 as shown in FIG. 5a.
  • the bracket 16 further includes an arcuate slot 82 within which may be received the arcuate arm 17, with the arm 17 being secured in place at any point by virtue of the provision of a locking bolt 83 as best shown in FIG. 5 of the drawings.
  • bracket 16 can be used in either right or left hand fashion to further increase the number of available planes.
  • Layout apparatus of the character described, comprising;
  • F a layout machine having a base member adapted to move longitudinally on said guide rail in straightline movement.
  • the apparatus of claim 1 further characterized by the presence of locking means adapted to selectively fix said elongate guide rail to said arm support.
  • the apparatus of claim 4 further characterized by the presence of second drive means carried by said base member whereby fine adjustment of the travel of said layout machine may be obtained.
  • the apparatus of claim 1 further characterized by the presence of a pair of support arms projecting from said base member and engaging said elongate guide rail on opposed edges thereof.
