- PATENTED SEP 2 4 I974 SHEET 5 BF 6 METHOD OF SECURING FITTINGS OR PLATES ONTO CONTAINERS OR CONTAINER PORTIONS AND A MACHINE FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD
- This invention is related to a method of securing fittings or plates onto containers, for example cases, packings, goods, transport containers or the like or onto parts composing such containers: the method comprising the steps of feeding, in a manner known per se, a strip from a supply; imparting in the strip, by stamping, the plates with the plates having securing tabs which are drivable into the walls of the containers or container portions, and severing the strip while forming a plate of suitable length.
- the strip is severed, after the stamping and formation of other work functions in a machine particularly designed for the purpose, into plates of a predetermined length, whereupon the plates are collected and stored to be later applied onto the containers or container portions in another plant or machine.
- This method has however disadvantages, primarily in that the plates must be transported from one machine to another before application on the containers. This has caused increased transport and handling costs and a need for excessively large plant spaces.
- An object of this invention is to remove the abovementioned disadvantages by a method which is characterized in that the plate is pressed onto the container portions following, preferably immediately following, the method step in which the strip is severedyThe plates will thus be directly applied from the strip to the containers thereby eliminating the need for transportation of the plates between different plants or machines.
- An additional object of invention is to provide a machine for carrying out the method.
- FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a first embodiment of a machine according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged elevational view of a portion of the machine shown in FIG. 1 with parts broken away;
- FIG. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken along the line lllllI in FIG. 2;

- FIG. 5 is an enlarged elevational view similar to FIG. 2 of a second embodiment of the machine according to the invention with parts broken away, and
- FIG. 6 is an end view of the machine shown in FIG. 5.
- the numeral 1 in FIG. 1 designates generally the portion of the machine which performs work on the strip to form plates for clenching onto the container parts.
- the numeral 2 designates generally a strip supply having a strip 3 which is fed along through a feed station 4 to the strip forming portion 1.
- the strip supply 2 may consist of a reel having a strip roll ofa length of several hundreds of meters.
- the strip 3 is formed preferably of metals, for example carbon steel, and has a width and a thickness to permit ready working of the strip. Metal strips 3 may have a width of 3 5 cm and a thickness of 0.5 1.5 mm.
- the invention is, however, not limited to forming strips of metals as other materials are conceivable.
- the feed station 4 includes two rolls 6 and 7 mounted on a column 5, the roll 6 being drivable by means of a motor 8 while the roll 7 resiliently clamps the strip 3 travelling between the rolls. From the feed station 4 to the forming portion 1 of the machine the strip 3 travels through guide means 9, which may consist of two elongate sheet plates spaced from each other by spacers between which the strip is guided.
- the forming portion 1 of the machine includes a fixed or stationary frame generally designated by the numeral 10 and a tool movable relative to the frame 10 and generally designated by the numeral 11.
- This tool in the illustrated embodiment, includes an elongated beam-like body which is vertically movable towards and away from the frame 10 by means of a driving mechanism (not shown in details), as for instance a driving mechanism similar to that used in reciprocating presses.
- the driving mechanism is generally indicated by the connections 12.
- the movable tool 11 press means 13 corresponding to a backing or anvil 14 of frame 10.
- press means 13 corresponding to a backing or anvil 14 of frame 10.
- shearing means 15 provided on the movable tool 11 and stamping means 16 matching a die 17in frame 10.
- FIGS. 2 and 4 show more in detail the tool or press means 13 and the anvil 14.
- the press means 13 includes a slide plate 18 disposed at or adjacent the discharge end of tool 11 and is in the form of an elongate plate, preferably of hard metal, which is attached to the lower side of tool 11 by bolts or other fastening members 19.
- the slide plate 18 has on its lower side a V- formed recess defined by two press surfaces 20 and 21. The illustrated between the two press surfaces 20 and 21 is about
- the anvil 14 includes an arm 23 projecting from the frame 10 and disposed under the slide plate 18.
- the upper side of arm 23 has, as shown in FIG. 4, two support surfaces 24, 25 disposed at an angle to each other and on which two container walls 26, 27 are supported during a press operation.
- the angle between the support surfaces 24, 25 is in this case 200, whence follows that the angle between the press surfaces 20, 21 of the slide 18 together with the angle between the support surfaces 24, 25 make four right angles or angle total of 360.
- the under side of the arm 23 is Vshaped, the angle between the two lower surfaces of the arm 23 being the same as the angle between the two upper support surfaces 24, 25 thereof.
- a holder or retainer 28 to retain and guide a plate formed from the strip 3 relative to the slide until such time as the formed plate is clenched into the container walls 26, 27.
- the retainer 28' is in the form of two retainer bodies 29 inclined relative to. each other and movable in slots 30 in the slide plate 18.
- the retainer bodies 29 are preferably elongated webs retained in the slots 30 by stop members not shown. In FIGS. 2 and 4 the retainer bodies 29 are shown in a first position projecting out of the slide, in which the distance between adjacent portions of the retainer bodies, i.e., the distance between the lower edges of the retainer bodies, is less than the width of the plate formed from the strip 3.
- FIG. 4 shows the retainer bodies 29 disposed immediately adjacent to the V-formed recess 22 in the slide.
- the shearing means includes a first edge or rim 31 formed on the slide plate 18 and movable relative to a second edge or rim 32 disposed on the frame 10, preferably on the die 17 thereof, and located in the same vertical plane as the first edge 31.
- FIG. 2 shows the second edge 32 disposed at a fixed height above the backing arm 23. Accordingly the strip 3 will be severed into a separate plate immediately before the clenching of the plate onto the container portions.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show more particularly the stamping means 16 of the machine.
- the figures show the stamping means l6 as including a plurality of stamping members 33 detachable or removable individually or by groups and movable into bores 34 of the die 17.
- the stamping 33 consist each of a cylindrical pin, the downward ends of which are bevelled and pointed to penetrate the strip and stamp out in the strip, e.g., four securing tabs.
- the stamping members are dsiposed in two rows, parallel to each other, to form two rows of securing tabs in the strip. It is possible to arrange the separate stamping members in another manner, for example in staggered configurations or in more than two rows.
- the stamping members are attached by groups to a number of stamp holders 35.
- each stamp holder 35 is associated with three pairs of stamping members, it being however possible to provide a greater or lesser number of stamping members on each stamp holder.
- the stamp holders together with the stamping members are detac-hably connected to the movable tool 11 in the manner shown in FIG. 3.
- the faces 36 of the stamp holders are inclined and abut against a pair offaces, inclined in a corresponding manner, of two webs or guides 37 and 38.
- Each web 37 is fixed to the beam-like body 11 by bolts 39 or other suitable fastening members accessible from the lower side of the beam body 11.
- the other web 38 is applied to the beam body 11 by means of bolts 40 which are easily accessible from the upper side of the beam body.
- an adapter 41 which, as well as the stamp holders and the webs 37, 38, is preferably formed of hard metal.
- the bolts 39 and 40 are tightened and the webs 37, 38 abut against the beam body 11, the stamp holders 35 are clamped and firmly fixed relative to the beam body 11.
- the bolts 40 are released to discontinue the clamping action of the web 38 against the stamp holders, whereupon the adapter 41 is removed and the stamp holder in question may be removed or mounted respectively. It is thus possible to adjust the number of stamp holders according to different lengths of the plates produced in the machine. Plates of a maximum length implies the use of a full number of stamping members, and production of plates of a lesser length implies removing a number of stamp holders and stamping members associated thereto in accordance with the length of the plates.
- This stripper element 42 to remove the strip from the stamping member after the stamping of securing tabs in the strip.
- This stripper element includes a plate having bores 43 for receiving the stamping members 33, which plate is resiliently urged downwardly relative to the beam body 11 by springs 44, preferably helical compression springs.
- springs 44 preferably helical compression springs.
- FIG. 3 shows only one guiding upright 45 and the associated holder 46, although guide means are provided at both sides of the beam body 11.
- the helical compression springs 44 tend to maintain the stripper plate 42 spaced from the beam body 11, the stamping members 33 taking the position shown in FIGS. 2 3, in which the lower portions of the stamping members are not in contact with the strip 3.
- a depression 48 is formed which is matched by an elevation 49 in the die 17.
- This elevation 49 has a somewhat lesser width than the width of the strip 3.
- the depression 48 in the insert portion 47 has two more or less inclined side surfaces 50.
- the die 17 carries a number of spring bodies 51 which serve to maintain the strip 3 at a distance from the upper side of the die, the distance being based on the length of the securing tabs, thereby avoiding the securing tabs from coming into contact with the die after the stamping of the tabs.
- the spring bodies 51 may be in the form of elongated metal pieces which are movable in milled recesses 52 in the die through the medium of bolts or other members 53, actuated by helical compression springs 54, the springs 54 and the bolts 53 tending to maintain the bodies 51 at a constant position projecting out of the die.
- a guide element 55 is provided in the form of a bent plate spring, serving to guide the stamped strip 3 into the retainer 28 of the slide 18.
- the arm 23, serving as a backing for the press means 13 is of a cantilever type to enable a container body, e.g.,
- the arm may, as shown in FIG. 1, at its outer end be supported by a support member 56 which is pivotally movable between a rest position out of contact with the arm to permit a disposition of the container frame around the arm and a working position in which the member supports said end of the arm.
- the operation of the pivotable support member 56 is associated with the operation of the machine to cause the support member to support the arm during the pressing step only, while it otherwise assumes a rest position out of contact with the arm.
- the container portions to which the plates are to be clenched consist preferably of some wood material, for example plywood. It is however also possible to use the machine in connection with container portions consisting of another material, for example paper, plastics or combinations of paper, wood and plastic.
- the machine described operates in the following manner. From the supply reel 2 the strip 3 is fed stepwise into the forming portion 1 of the machine by means of the feed rolls 6 and 7. By each step the strip is fed along a length corresponding to the length of the intended plate, this length in turn being determined by the dimensions of the container or the container portions to which the plate is to be clenched.
- the movable tool 11 When feeding of the strip is performed the movable tool 11 is at a rest position at a maximum level wherein the stamping members are not in contact with the strip.
- the movable tool 11 is caused by means of the driving mechanism to move in a downward direction.
- the first series of securing tabs are stamped out in the strip 3 so that the stamping members 33, when the tool 11 has moved downward a distance to make the stripper plate 42 abut against the die 17, will cut through the strip and enter into the holes 34 of the die, the strip material being cut through by the stamping members and formed into tabs against the walls of the holes 34.
- the tool 11 works against the action of the compression springs 44.
- the stripper plate 42 comes into contact with the die 17 the bending or impression of the edge portions of the strip 3 will be performed, in that the elevation 49 of the die presses the strip into the depression 48 of the stripper plate, the edge portions of the strip adopting the form of the inclined side walls 50 of the depression.
- the strip 3 is severed forming a separate plate which has thereon securing tabs formed in a preceding stamping operation.
- the severing of the strip takes place by means of the shearing means 15, the first edge 31 of the slide 18 during the downward movement of the tool passing the second edge 32 to accomplish the severing.
- a third step following the shearing step, the severed plate will be clenched onto the container portions in question.
- This operation takes place by means of the slide 18, the retainer of which retains and guides the plate until the slide reaches its lower end position wherein the plate will be clenched onto the container portions by means of the securing tabs.
- the stripper plate 42 When the tool 11 after the downward work stroke again moves upwardly the stripper plate 42 will remove the strip 3 out of contact with the stamping members 33, the springs 44 removing the plate 42 and thereby also the strip from the stamping members. At the same time the spring bodies 51 having been depressed during the stamping moment will be moved upward by the springs 54 and maintain the strip 3 at a cetain level above the die 17. Thereby the stamped securing tabs will not come into contact with the die, and a lengthwise feeding of the strip may take place notwithstanding the downwardly projecting securing tabs.
- the operation of the tool 11 will most preferably be effected by means of manually actuable control means, the operator applying the container portions 26 and 27 to the backing 14 controlling the movements of the tool.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show an embodiment of a machine which is designed for shorter plates than those of the machine of FIGS. 1 4 and particularly adapted for securing plates onto cases or containers the walls of which may form an angle of 90 to each other.
- the machine shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 includes a frame 10 and a movable tool 11 which is connected through a connection 12 to a driving mechanism of a suitable kind.
- a projecting arm 23 On the frame 10 is disposed a projecting arm 23 having two support surfaces 24 and 25 for the container walls 26 and 27.
- the movable tool 11 has a slide 18, a shearing means 15 and stamping means 16.
- On the frame 10 is disposed a die 17 for the stamping means.
- the machine also includes a stripping element 42, a spring body 51 and a guide element 55.
- On the die 17 is provided an elevation 49 matching a depression in the stripper element 42.
- the angle between the two press surfaces 20 and 21 in the V- formed recess 22 in the slide is less than 90, the angle between the press surfaces being on the order of 89 Since the two container walls 26 and 27 are disposed at right angles to each other, this will result in the two edge portions of the plate tending, on clenching, to penetrate to a greater extent than the center portion of the plate into the walls 26 and 27.
- the retainer to retain and guide the plate relative to the slide 18 in this embodiment is in the form of two opposite grooves 57, 58 in the press surfaces 20, 21 of the recess 22.
- the distance between these two grooves is greater than the width of the strip 3 but less than the distance between the two edges of the plate after the bending of the plate.
- the shearing means 15 includes a knife or axe 59 connected to the movable tool 11, the knife being operable to shear off the strip 3 against the rim or edge 32 of the die 17.
- the knife 59 is, as shown in FIG. 6, at its two ends connected to piston rods 60 of two pneumatic piston-cylinder mechanisms 61 which act as springs for the knife 59.
- the knife is guided vertically by two pins 62 engaging in elongate guide grooves 63 in the knife.
- On one side of the knife see FIG. there is a first shoulder 64 which limits the stroke of the knife when the tool 11 moves downward.
- a second shoulder 65 is formed to effect the upward movement of the knife by a nose 66 of the slide 18 in the upward motion of the tool.
- the separate stamping members 33 are attached in groups in a number of stamp holders 35. These stamp holders which have bevelled side surfaces, are inserted between two guidelike webs 67, only one of which is visible in FIG. 5.
- the stamp holders are clamped between the guides 67 by L-formed wedge means 68 which have a screw member 69 securable to the tool or the beam body 11. On tightening the screw member 69 the wedge 68 will move to the right in FIG. 5 and clamp the separate stamp holders 35 with the bevelled side surfaces of the stamp holders abutting against the corresponding bevelled side surfaces of the guides 67.
- Dismounting of one or more stamp holders is made by releasing the screw 69 by a simple manual operation, which will release the wedge means permitting the stamp holders to be removed from the space between the guides 67.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 operates, except for the shearing means and retainer 28, in a manner analogous to that of the machine shown in FIGS. 1 4.
- Control and operation of the different units of the machine may be carried out by electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic means, as desired.
- Feeding of the strip may be carried out by means of rolls, but it is also possible to provide feeding mechanisms consisting of links or other mechanical elements grasping the strip and feeding the strip in its longitudinal direction.
- the advantages of the invention are obvious as the plates may be clenched, immediately following the formation thereof, onto the containers or container portions in question. In this manner the need for special machines for clenching the plates is dispensed with. Further any unnecessary transport and handling of separate plates between different stations'will be eliminated.
- Other advantages of the machines formed according to the invention are that the machines can be adapted to plates of different lengths in a simple and limited time consuming operation.
