26 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures HINGE TYPE UNITS PERMANENTLY MOUNTED IN A CYLINDRICAL HUB STRUCTURE WITH REPLACEABLE FINISHING PACKS PROVIDED FOR THE UNITS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS My co-pending application, Ser. No. 155,733, filed June 23, 1971 now abandoned, discloses the general type of forked-section clip member which pivots a unit of fill or finishing material on the hub structure. My earlier co-pending application, Ser. No. 885,734, filed Dec. 17, 1969 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,685,217, illustrates and describes various forms of hub structures provided with pivotally mounted finishing units of the general sort dealt with herein, although not as associated with an inner pivotal mounting clip member which may form a permanent component of the hub structure. A concurrently filed application, Ser. No. 253,238, filed, May 15, 1962, deals with a dual clip-type pack pivoting concept generally similar to that of the present applicatlon.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIELD The improved composite abrasive pack and pivoting clip concept of the invention finds application in a large number of rotative surface finishing operations, specifically, in the rough or finish working, brushing, abrasing, buffing, burnishing or polishing of metal or nonmetal parts, in which various types of fill material is utilized, as an example, a stacked pack of more or less abrasive sheets, cotton or sisal material. I am aware of no prior art references pertinent to the combination of a hub mounted inner clip member and a replaceable, cartridge-type secondary clip member with fill material as herein shown and described.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The improvement represents a considerable refinement of the type of the finishing pack pivoting concept which is the subject matter of my above identified application, Ser. No. 155,733, characterized by a very stable pivotal mounting of the fill material in relation to a wheel structure and drive hub. However, the invention provides a very simple and expeditious means for removing and replacing a worn pack or unit of fill material, or one presenting a different fill or abrasive characteristic, in an operation involving the simple sliding of a secondary clipped pack of fill material out of a primary, permanently assembled clip member and its sliding replacement by another similar pack or unit. Dual pivotal mounting of the secondary clip member, at the pivot of the pack to the primary clip member and at the pivot of that clip member to the hub structure, is another feature characteristic of the improvement.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an end elevational view of a rotary finishing tool having a hub-applied body plate structure, showing a part of a circumferential array of like abrasive packs as replaceably applied to a clip component of a clip and pack sub-assembly, according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary view of the hub structure and pack combination, being partially broken away and typically sectioned onthe broken but generally radial line 2-2 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a perspective view also illustrating the nature of the packs clip and sheet sub-assembly, in larger scale.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A typical rotary finishing wheel or tool 10 according to the invention will basically comprise a mounting plate unit or hub structure 12, adapted to be fixedly connected to a driving wheel hub (not shown) at axially aligned plate openings 13, and a plurality of like sheet pack units, each generally designated 14, which are pivotally mounted individually to the structure 12 in equal circumferential spacing about the latter. The number of packs may, of course, vary, but preferably and usually the circumferential array thereof is such as to afford, when flexed, a substantially continuous circumferential rotative finishing engagement with a workpiece of the outer extremities of the packs or units 14.
Each of the packs or units 14, as an example, comprises a combination of a sub-assembly of a stack of identical abrasive sheets 15 or other fill material, and an improved composite clamping and pivoting unit, generally designated 16, by which the sheets or fill materials are clamped together and pivotally mounted to the hub structure 12. The sheets of sub-assembly 16 are of plain rectangular outline and may illustratively be of an abrasive coated, emery-type cloth or fabric, or of any other structural composition, as mentioned in my above-identified co-pending applications. These sheets may be uniformly oriented in a stack with the abrasive surfaces of all thereof facing circumferentially in the direction of rotation of the wheel or the leading sheet of each pack or unit reversed so that the abrasive surface thereon faces opposite to the direction of rotation in the manner shown and describe-d in my co-pending application, Ser. No. 253,236, filed May 15, 1972, concurrently herewith.
It should be appreciated that other types of fill materials may be used in sub-assembly 16 in place of the abrasive sheets 15 such as cotton, fabric, sisal, leather, brush-like materials, paper and other types and forms of fill materials now. utilized or which can be adapted to perform the required surface finishing operations on metal or non-metal materials. In addition the outerworking edges of the abrasive sheets 15 or of the selected fill materials may be straight as shown or contoured to fit the work. Also the sheets 15 or selected fill materials may be slashed to allow greater flexibility and enable the finishing of contours without pre-contouring the pack as is well known in the art.
The pivoting clamp clip unit 16 for each pack 14 may be considered to comprise two somewhat dissimilar components. One of these, as best shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is a primary, radially extending inner clip member 18 in the form of a rigid section of a metallic or non-metallic extrusion of the general nature illustrated and described in my co-pending application, Ser. No.
155,733. Clip, member 18 has pivotally articulated thereto a secondary, radially outer pack pivoting and clamping clip member of the unit 16, which clamping member is later described in detail.
Therefore, prior to completion of said assembly a series of assembly pack pivoting pins 23, in a number equalling the abrasive packs 14 and equally spaced circumferentially about the plates 19 in radially outward parallelism with the securing pins 21, are seated in inner recesses 24 of those plates, having been passed through a pivot bore 25 in a block-like inner portion 26 of clip member 18, as well as through an opening in the intermediate plate 19', if present. Thus, the inner clips 18 are pivotally pre-mounted as components of the plate assembly 12, enabling a primary, radially inner swing of the several packs 14 on the axes of the pins 23. The inner portion 26 of clip member 18 projects radially outwardly of the periphery of plate unit 12, where it is formed to provide a generally keyhole-shaped or re-entrant, radially outward recess, slot or groove 28, in which a secondary clip component of the two-clip articulating unit 16 is pivotally received.
This secondary component comprises an axially elongated clip element or member 30, made from a plastic or a metallic material, coextensive in length with primary clip member 18, which is formed to provide a radially inner loop or bight portion 31, in a quasicylindrical shape and diameter, to be quite snugly received, in an axial displacement-resisting frictional fit, in the corresponding, quasi-cylindrical recess or slot 28 of clip 28.
To this end, the bight portion 31 of clip member i is stiffened somewhat by an internal split sleeve or roll pin 32,. which encircles and serves as a wear member for an elongated center spine pin 33 of the secondary clip member 30.
Radially elongated arms of each clip member 30 extend through a restricted throat formation 34 of clip slot 28 and, with substantial radial clearance from the primary clip 18, have embedded engagement between sheets 15 of the abrasive pack 14 at a location medial of the thickness of the latter. With the clip arm 35 thus inter-leaved in the radially inner end of the packs sheet stack, a firm clamp of the latter to the outer clip member 30 is effected by means of rugged staples 36 passing through the arms 35. The bight, sleeve and spine components of outer clip member 30 will ordinarily have adequate resistance to axial displacement from one another by reason of their frictional telescoped interfit. However, this may be supplemented, as by an end solder or weld, if desired, or by removable end caps, not shown, which may be removably mounted on the hub structure engageable with the outer end surfaces of the outer clip members 30 to positively prevent relative lengthwise movement between the inner and outer clip members of each finishing unit. Of course, radial displacement of the secondary clip member 30 from the primary clip member 18 is prevented at the re-entrant throat formation 34 of the latter.
The inner and outer clip members disclosed herein may be made from metals or plastic materials by various forming operations including extruding, molding, machining, etc. which are well known in the art. In addition, the inner clip members must be slotted or otherwise notched, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to receive the outer periphery of the intermediate plate or plates 19.
The inner clip members may be permanently mounted in the hub structure as shown in the drawing, forming a throw-away wheel or hub structure or the inner clip members may be mounted in a hub structure of a rotary finishing tool which permits replacement of the inner clip members and the packs carried thereby as shown and described in my other patents and applications.
