Definitions

  • Automated handling apparatus for making ceramic shell molds normally comprise a handling rod assembly, including a connecting lug embedded in a wax cuff having a wax pattern secured thereto.
  • the lug is threadably connected to an elongated rod of the rod assembly during formation of the mold, wherein the wax pattern is repeatedly dipped in a ceramic slurry to form a ceramic shell mold therearound.
  • the wax mold is elevated and twirled to evenly distribute a coating of the ceramic slurry therearound and to permit the run-off of excess slurry.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded, isometric view of the handling rod assembly.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a handling rod assembly operatively connected to a wax pattern 12, simulating the crankshaft ofa fuel injection pump, by means of a cast cuff .13.
  • the cuff may be cast from any suitable material, such as wax or aluminum, and suitably secured to the upper end of the wax pattern. When the pattern and the cuff each constitute a wax material, thay may be bonded together at the wax interface therebetween.
  • a connecting lug 14 has an irregularly shaped head 15 formed thereon for embedment in the cast. cuff.
  • the head thus provides a drive connection between the lug and cuff to rotate pattern 12 during formation of a ceramic shell mold thereon.
  • the lug further comprises a bore 16 formed centrally therethrough to intersect a pair of diametrically opposed bayonet-type locking slots 17, each comprising a vertically disposed portion 18 and an intersecting horizontally disposed portion 19, closed at one end thereof.
  • a pair of diametrically opposed driving and locking tabs 20 are formed on the lug to extend upwardly therefrom and in circumferentially spaced relationship relative to locking slots 17.
  • the handling rod assembly further comprises an elongated rod 21 having attachment means 22 formed on its upper end, adapted to attach the rod assembly to clamping fingers (not shown) of standard automated mold handling apparatus.
  • a mold attaching end 23 of the rod comprises a cylindrical portion 24 terminating at its lower end at a reduced extension 25 and at its upper end at an annular flange 26.
  • a hole 27, formed transversely through rod-portion 24, has a drive pin 29 press-fitted therein to have its free ends project radially outwardly from the rod.
  • a hole 30 is formed transversely through extension 25 and has a locking pin 31 press-fitted therein.
  • lug 14 having pattern 12 and cuff 13 pre-attached thereto, is selectively connected to rod assembly .10 to facilitate forma tion of a ceramic mold on the pattern in the manner described above.
  • sleeve 32 is manually retracted to compress spring 34 to expose extension 25 of rod 21 for telescopic engagement in bore 16 of connecting lug l4.
  • Thefree ends of lock pin 31 are then inserted into vertical slot portions 18 of locking slots 21 and the rod and lug are rotated relative to each other to seat the ends of the lock pin in-the closed ends of slot portions 19.
  • anti-rotation means for preventing both clockwise tab and slot connection formed on axially opposed ends of said lug and said sleeve.
  • the handling rod assembly of claim 3 further comprising an annular flange secured on said rod and a normally compressed coil spring mounted on said rod between said sleeve and said flange.
  • the handling rod assembly of claim 5 further comprising an elongated slot formed longitudinally through said sleeve to receive the end of said pin therein to form 'a lost-motion connection permitting limited axial movement, but for preventing relative rotation between said rod and said sleeve.
