To all La7/2,0m, t mfc/y concern.'
Be it known that I, HERMANN ROMNDER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydraulic Presses, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to machines in which under the simultaneous influence of heat and pressure a number of straight or ilat sheets of wood, generally in the form of veneers, of any desired thickness may be forced into intimate union with each other to form bent or curved wood-veneer plates and similar articles which may be used for a great variety of purposes.
The objects of my invention are to provide an efficient, economical, and rapid machine or press of simple construction and comparatively small cost, by the use of which in one operation a number of straight sheets or layers of wood or wood veneer maybe cut each into a number of pieces of desired size and brought under the simultaneous influence of heat and pressure into this homogeneous union, resulting in the formation of curved or bent plates which are practically impervious to moisture and atmospheric iniiuences and which when thus constructed may be used for various purposes.
To the above ends my invention consists of the devices hereinafter described, and defined in the claims.
One form of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine Fig. 2 is a side view of part of two of the press-plates of the machine when open. Fig. 3 is a side view of part of two of the press-plates of the machine when closed. Fig. 4 is atop view,
on a larger scale, of a part of a press-plate. Fig. 5 is an end view of same. Fig. 6 is a vertical section on the line 1 1 of Fig. 4, showing part of two adjoining press-plates and V closed.
. :A A are'vertical parallel columns, of metal i ior `o ther suitable material, suitably set and anchored with their lower ends in a usual foundation or base of suitable material and sufficient size and strength to support the press, (not shown,) and the press-plates are mounted on and connected with the said columns in suitable manner, as hereinafter 'shown and described. j
B is a vertical cylinder, also set in said foundation or base, and in said cylinder B a piston C is arranged, movable vertically, being actuated by hydraulic pressure, the presswater being supplied and discharged through a pipe a, suitably connected to said cylinder B. At its upper end the piston C assumes the form of or is provided with a bed or bottom press-plate D of suitable dimensions, through which the upright columns A A eX- tend in such a way that the said plate D while being raised and lowered slides on said columns A A and is guided thereby in its movements.
A number of horizontal press-plates, each consisting of a number of sections F F and end or guide blocks G G, are provided, movable vertically between the vertically-movable bottom plate D and the stationary crown or top plate E, which latter is suitably secured to the upright columns A A at their upper ends and held in position by means of suitable nuts or caps b bor other means screwed or otherwise fastened to the upper ends of the said columns. Each of these plate-'sections F F, consisting of metal or other suitable material, has one concave and one convex surface so arranged that the conveX surface of one section will correspond' with the concave surface of another section, and when the press-plates, formed of a number of. said sections, are pressed and held together they will produce bent Wood-veneer plates or other material with a curvature corresponding to the conveXo-concave meeting acles or surfaces of each set of said sections The guide-blocks G G, of suitable material and shape and form, have substantially U- shaped ends of sufficient size to accommodate between them and the outer sections of the press-plates the upright columns A A and a hollow metal tube or sleeve H, surrounding each of said columns, and by means of slots J J of suitable lengths provided in 'said sleeves H H at suitable distances from each other and by means of pins d d extending IOO ,employed in one press.
through said guide-blocks G G into the slots J J of the sleeves H H each horizontal pressplate may be raised or lowered a suitable predetermined distance between the upright columns A A.
Any number ofsections F F may be connected laterally at their ends by means of couplings or bolts e e or otherwise to form a practically continuous horizontal press-plate, and any number of such press-plates may be Each one of these press-plates'is suitably placed in position between the upright columns AA, and the metal end or guide blocks G G are secured to the outer sections of each plate by means of screws ff or otherwise. Each of the said sections F F is provided with suitable steam chambers or flues c c, adapted to have steam or other means circulate through them, whereby the curved pressing-surfaces of the sections F F may be heated to the desired degree to act upon the material m to be pressed between them andthe (waterproof) cementing medium with which the several layers of the said material m are coated. This material m, as stated before, consists of a number of straight sheets of wood, generally in the form of veneers of any desired thickness, or other suitable material which is designed to be glued and pressed together between the press-plates under suilicient heat and pressure, the cementing medium with which the several layers or sheets have been coated binding them together to one practically homogeneous material of bent or curved form. The cementing medium employed may be any suitable waterproof composition-such, for example, as a compound of glue and potash.
The steam chambers or lues c c of adjoining sections F F of each press-plate are connected by means of suitable packing, as is more clearly shown at o in Figs. 4, 6, and 7. .The end or guide blocks G G are also provided with steam chambers or flues i i, and these steam-chambers i i of adjoining guide-blocks are connected by means of telescoping steam connections K K, consisting of a number of pipes g g, set in suitable packings provided in said guide-blocks, one of said pipes g g of each of said telescoping steam connections being of a diameter of suilicient size to allow it to slide a greater or less portion of its 'length into the other pipe g of each of said telescoping steam connection, the latter pipe being of su'llicient diameter to overlap the smaller one, and by means of suitable packing provided between these pipes they form a steam-tight joint, oneof said pipes g beingalso arranged stationary in the guide-block to which it is connected, while the other pipe Vis arranged movable in the packing of the guide-block to which it is connected and extending a correspondingly greater or less portion of its length into the steam-chamber i ofl its guide-block as the press is being opened or closed, a number of lugs h' 7i, provided at economical, el'licient, and inexpensive and obviates the many cumbersome and complicated steam connections`between movable press-plates now generally used, all of which latter require space on the outside of said press-plates and press, while my improved steam connection shown herewith occupies a very small place and is arranged most conveniently and entirely out of the way.
Between the separate sections FF of each press-plate I also provide a knife or number or knives L L of suitable size and shape, which when the press is being closed cut the sheets of material m placed between the several press-plates into suitable pieces and while the press remains closed extend into the space left open between the sections of the next adjoining press-plate, as will readily be seen on reference to Figs. 2 and 3. The sections F F of the press-plates next vto the crown and the bed plate have preferably'one flat and one curved surface each, the flat surface of each of said sections facing the crown and the bed plate, respectively, while the curved surface corresponds with the curved surface of the next adjoining press-plate, as shown on Fig. 1.
In practice l find it most advantageous to have the press-plates separately and independently detachable from the apparatus, so that it is not necessary to dismount or disassemble other parts of the press when it is desired to take out any of these parts.
The operation of my improved machine, described in connection with the drawings, is as follows: The press standing in its normal open position, with the bed-plate D and the piston C in their extremely lowest position and the several horizontal press-plates also in their respective lowest positions, the material m is placed in position between the several press-plates, the surfaces of the inner layers of the said material having previously been covered with a suitable waterproof gluing TIO IIC
by means of the guide-blocks G G when the materialym between the convex and concave surfaces of the sections vvof the several pressplates is being thoroughly compressed and given the desired bent or curved shape, the knives L L having mechanically cut the several layers of material as soon as the material has been pressed against the knives. The machine then stops and is allowed to stand, exerting this fixed pressure until the layers of the material m have assumed permanent union and practically become homogeneous pieces or plates impervious to moisture and atmospheric influences and of the required bent or curved shape corresponding to the conveXo-concave meeting surfaces of the said press-plates and the sections F F thereof, be-
tween which in one operation the said material fm is cut, compressed, and bent, it being understood -that the press-plates are sufficiently heated during the'operation of the press by any suitable means, as steam entering through the inlet 7c, circulating through the ilues or chambers c c of the sections F F, and passing from one press-plate to the other through the steam-chambers it of the guideblocks G G and the telescoping steam connections K K, provided between the several adjoining guide-blocks, and discharging through the outlet-pipe Z, provided in one of the guideblocks of the lowest press-plate, whereby the desired result is brought about under simultaneous, heat and pressure. The press is then opened, the press-water supply through pipe a being shut off, the piston C .moving downward of its own weight as soon as the hydraulic pressure is released, and the several horizontal press-plates slide back to their previous lowered positions, being held in the slots J J of the sleeves or tubes H H by means of the pins d d extending through the guideblocks G G into said slots J J. The distance between the several press-plates is optional to meet requirements, according to the thickness of the material.
By means of this improved machine l am able to produce a large variety of structures in which plates or veneers of wood or other suitable material may be joined so as to present a continuous homogeneous body dr a simple or a compound open curve and suitable for arches lor other structures in which curvature of greater or less pitch is desired; but as the principle of construction and operation remains the same throughout l do not deem it necessary for the purposes of this case to carry out specific illustrations further than as above given` The details of operation and construction of this machine or press may be varied from the above description without changing the nature of my invention so long as substantially straight or flat sheets of material are cut into a number of pieces of desired size, pressed, and joined together into practically continuous homogeneous pieces to form bent or curved plates.
