To @ZZ whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, SERAPHIN Klares, a citizen of Germany, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Presses for Making Screw-Insulators, of which The object of this invention is to provide a sulators for telegraph-lines and the like can be rapidly and accurately carried on; and the invention resides in the novel features of construction set forth inthe following specification and claims and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure lis a sectional side elevation of the press. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of Fig. 1.

a. filling-piece ready to be slipped onto the screw-plunger. Fig. 8 is a detail view of an air-blast or cooling-tube.

The base 1 bybeing mounted on wheels 2 enables the device to be readily moved to any desired point. From the base 1 rise legs 3, carrying a top plate 4, in which is fixed a standard 5. A platform or support 6, carrying a suitable number of molds 7, is rotatable about standard 5. This support 6 when rotated a sufficient distance to bring one or another of the molds 7 into operative position can be locked in position by a spring catch or detent 8 engaging one or another of the rey When a mold isfilled with the molten glass or material for the insulator 10, Fig. 4, a screwplunger is forcedA into such mass to forma screw-thread therein. Said screw-plunger is shown as consisting of a screw-thread A and stem B, and the stem B can be detachably connected to or seated in the hollow or tubular end of the actuating-rod 11, guided in

arms

13 and 14, extending from standard 5. To this actuating-rod is secured a cross-head 15, jointed at 16 to an arm 17` extending from

lever

18 and 19. The actuation of

lever

18 and 19 with arm 17 will actuate cross-head 15 with actuating-rod 11. v

The stem B of screw-plunger A B can be detachably connected to actuating-rod 11 by into the mass 10, while on the return stroke of rod 11 the screw-plunger is to be left inserted in the mass, either by the catch 2O being withdrawn by hand or by the engaging end of the catch 20 being formed at such an angle or incline that on the movement of rod 11 away from mold 7 the catch will slip or auitomatically move out of engagement with the tube B. y

Y The former 24, with follower 25, moves with the actuating-rod 11 toward and from the mold 7. The former and follower are secured to rods 26, sliding in arm 27, extending from arm 14 and extending loosely through crosshead 15, being prevented from falling or pass ing out of engagement with the latter by collars 28, secured to the rods 26. The crosshead 15, when moving toward a mold, presses on springs 29, coiled about the rods 26 and acting against collars 30, fastened to said rods, so that the motion of the cross-head 15 toward a mold will move or hold the former and follower toward such mold by a yielding or spring pressure.

The arm 19 of the

lever

18 and 19 is Weighted and it is noticed that the movement of arm `18 against the action of the weighted arm 19 will move the rod 11, with the former 24 and follower 25, toward a mold, while the weighted arm 19,'on the release of arm 18, can be made to automatically return the rod 11 with the former and follower. The

lever

18 and 19 is fulcrumed at 31 to links or rods 32, jointed at33 to arm 14.

From standard 5 extends an arm C, Fig. 6, to which is secured a rod 54,` which carries an arm 34, in which is guided the sliding and rotary rod or spindle 35, jointed at 36 to link `37, which is jointed at 38 to lever 39 and 40,

stem B of a screw-plunger A B. A screw or fastening 44 enables the stem B to be secured to spindle 35.

From standard 5 extends an arm 45, on which a filling vessel or measure 46 is rotatably mounted, so that it can be tilted or up- When the support 6 is locked by detent 8, a mold 7 is under the measure 46, so that on tilting the latter the molten mattei' from the measure will run into the mold, the measure being conveniently calculated to hold such a quantity of material as is required to properly supply the mold.

The operation of the device is as follows: Supposing the device to be at rest, with the rod ll and spindle 35 raised and the support 6, locked by detent 8, engaging one ot the recesses 9, a mold 71's then under the measure 46 and can be charged from the latter. The support 6 .is then rotated in the direction of arrow 48, Fig. 3, so as to bring the charged moldunder the vactuating-rod l1, whereupon the support 6 is again locked and the rod `11 is then actuated by

lever

18 and 19 to force the screw-plunger into the mass in the mold, said screw-plunger, as already seen, remaining in the mass on the return of the rod 11. VOn the stem B of the screw-plunger is then slipped a filling-piece 49 as soon as the stem B has passed sufficiently far from under rod 1l to be accessible, said filling-piece beingintended to prevent the soft mass from sinking back'against stem B, while the mold with the screw-plunger therein is carried toward the spindle 35 by the continued rotation of support 6 in the direction of arrow4S. This filling-piece 49 is withdrawn or removed before the mold comes under spindle 35. Vhen the mold arrives under the spindle 35, the table 6 is again locked and lever 39 and 40 is then actuated to move the spindle 35 toward the mold, so that the spindle 35 slips over the stern B of the screw-plunger sticking in said mold.4 The stem B is then secured to spindle 35 by the screw or fastening 44, so that on the spindle 35 being rotated in the proper direction the screw-plunger turning with the spindle will screw outof the mass orinsulator in the mold, said mass having become sufficiently set to retain its form with the screw-thread formed by the screw-plunger. On the mold being now opened the insulator can be removed therefrom andthe mold can be again charged from measure 46.

By having a series of molds on support 6, which molds successively are charged by the measure 46 and successively provided with screw-plungers by rod 1l, which screw-plungers are successively withdrawn or unscrewed by spindle 35, the operation of forming the insulators can be rapidly carried on, while the uniform charging of the molds by measure 46 will enable accurate work to be attained.

In addition to lock 8 the support 6. may be locked on the movement of leverarm 39 toward said support by a detent rod or slide 50, guided in arms 5l, extending from standard 5 and connected lto arm 52, extending from lever-arm 39. On the movement of lever-arm 39 toward support 6 the detent or lock 50 engages one of the recesses or shoulders 53, Fig. 3, in table 6, so as to hold or loclethe latter until the lever-arm 39 returns.

The actuating-rod 1l and spindle 35, while supported by the same standard 5, are independent of one another, so that each of these parts can be respectively operated at such time and with such rapidity as required.

To prevent overheating of the follower and plunger a tubular ring 55, Figs. 4 and 8, is suitably applied about the plunger, which ring55, receiving airoracooling-blast through conduit or hose 56, will ej ect said air through suitable jet-openings in tube 55,'so thatthis air-blast will cool or prevent overheating.

The ring 55 is in the form of a tube and is mounted on the follower and surrounds the plunger, whereby `the jet or blast tube is always in correct position to operate upon the plunger and follower, in contradistinction to being arranged in such manner that it only operates on the plunger at certain points.
