Application filed May 15., 1911. Serial No. 827,123.

To (li/Z 'ich om. 'it vm r1.1/ concern Be it known that I, FRANK V. VHYLAND, a citizen ot the United States, residing at Buffalo. in the county of Erie and State of AYew York, have invented certain nevv and useful Improvements in Sn'agirig-Machines, ot which the following is a specilication.

.liv invention relates to improvements in machines tor swaging metal spokes for bic'vele and motor-vehicles and the saine is designed as an iinprovenient upon the device shown and described in Letters Patent No. (529,838, granted August. 1, 1899, to George l. Burt-all, as in v assignee, and re-issued Ma;7 22, 1900, No. 11,826 by lnesne assignments to Asbury Lester.

My present invention embraces novel features of improvement with reference to the devices for svvafgringv` the devices for actuating the wedges, the devices tor grasping the spoke wire and drawing;` the saine along, the devices for shearing' the said wire to separate the, spokes, and also has reference to means for feeding a liberal suppl)1 of oil to the swaging' devices, all of `which features are hereinafter more particularly described.

ln the drawing, Figure 1 is a side ele 'i tion representing nly improved swaging machine. Fig. 2 is a` plan View ot the saine. Fig. 3 is a section at about the line as, af, of Fig. 1` looking tovvard thesvvaging devices. Fig. 4 is an elevation of the svvaging devices vvith the tace-plates removed. Fig. is a longitudinal section of the sn'aging devices shovvn in Fig. Ll. with the face-plates in position. Fig. (3 is a vertical sectionot my iur proved oiling device. Fig. 7 is an elevation ot the jaws a'nd `their carriage. Fig'. 8 isla plan, Fig'. llan elevation and Figli() an ele vation and partial section of the spoke shearingA devices. Fig. 1l is a detached elcvation ot part ot one ot the rocker levers and links showing the adjustable connection. Fig. 12 is an elevation and Fig. lil a. horizontal section ot the details of construction ot the double cani o. Fig. 1l is an elevation `and Nie'. t5 a cross section ot the double cani o. 1G is a vertical section, and

bolts 2. The stationary head o is supported by the standard o. The enlarged endo-t' the stationaryv head b is provided ".vith a steel hand El shrunk thereon: `Within the. stationary head b is the tubular shaft fthrough which passes the wire to be sivaged. li pon the rear end of the tubular shaft c is the flywheel d and the pulleys all, one of `which pulleys is loose on the said shaft arid the other keyed fast. The tace of the stationa-rjY head b :fdjacent to the swaging devicesI is recessed to receive the large ring` o2 which is driven into place in the said head and is stationary with the said head. This ring is recessed at spaced apart intervals in its inner periphery and in the said recesses are secured the cylindrical bushings b3 within vvhlch are placed the hardened rollers b4,

part ot' the Vsurface ot' which rollers projects v within the said ring.

The tubular shaft c is inade 'with a head or boss c and this head or boss is centrally and axially recessed at 3 and transversely and ceiitrally grooved across its tace. -'In the axial recess ot' the said head or bossis placed the bushing and a dovrei-pin 1 is preferabljT employed .passing through the bushing into the head orlioss c to prevent the bushingv turning. transversely and centrally grooved in .line with the grooves of the head or la( and the rear portion of thebushing is prov ded with an opening to agree with the opening` in the tubular shaft c. In the grooves of the head or boss c1 are placed the han'uners (r3, and in the grooves of the bushing are placed the dies c* and the tapering wedges e come lie'- tvveen the said liannners and the said dies. The hanunersc3 are provided u'it-h reces. e or pockets G in their outer faces and in the hack of the auxiliary tace-plate ,'t'l there are recesses or pockets that come clos-el;1 adjacentI to the recesses or pockets t5 in the l'ace of the lianuncrs, the said recesses boing* slightlyv otl'sctr` as will he seen particule.ri),V liv reference to Fig. 5. and in these recesses, betivecn the liai-nuiers and the auviliar),V ta eplate. are double spiral springs tl, the ends ot` the springs nearest the aviai center ot' the tulmlar shaft c resting upon the edge et the hannner recesses and the distant ends ol the `said springs resting upon the edges ot the auxiliary,V 'face-plate recesses. and. the otlice 'ot' the springs is to keep the lmnnnrrs troni' living out bv centrifugal torce when the dcvices are not snaging and v.to keep thc hain- The bushing is also leo mers against the wedges and overcome their tendency to rebound against the rollers and head or ring during the swaging operations and prevent the noise or chattering attendant upon the swaging operations. Also by this improvement the wire can be drawn through the. dies when the wedges are rea miniii'ium.

I A ring tace-plate f is secured at the bolt holes shown in the statioiiary headli, see Figuit, by bolts shown in Fig, 5, and this face-plate extends down andeovers the bushings le and rollers L4, and the auxiliaryit'ace plate f extends` across the face ot' the head or boss el covering the dies and wedges, and the same is secured to the head or boss el at the bolt holes shown in Fig. t by bolts, and the said auxiliary face-plate f1 is provided with openings. through which pass the wedges e.

' Studs are connected at one end to brackets ot the frame o* which is mounted upon the 'trame o, the said frame a being secured to the flanged base or support and these studs f2 at their other ends are bolted to the ring faceplate f so that the stationary head ot' tlie'swaging ldevices through the ring face-plate is rigidly connected to the other and adjacent frames ot' the machine. The wedges e are pivotally mounted upon studs secured to the grooved revoluble collar g.I r[his collar is mounted upon the station` ary tubular support t, and I provide a split head tl secured to the frame a* by bolts 5, see Fig. 2, Iand this tubular support li, passes through this split head and is clamped thereto by the bolt 4, the said stationary tubular support Iiv heilig thus adjustable and longitudinally movable in the said split head.

The grooved revoluble collar g is connected by a yoke to a rocker-lever g1 pivoted to a slidinevv base supported upon the flanged eil holding base ofthe machine, and I provide fan adjusting device g2 secured to the said tiahged base and having a screw passing into a lug upon the sliding base of the rocker-level' (/1, and a spring 17 connected to the said sliding base acts against the edge of the rocker-lever g1 to move the saine in oneldircetion, or in other words, to hold the said rocker-lever g toward its operating cam.'-

On the .shaft 18, mounted in the frame a4, I connect ai crank-arm el which depends from the shaft'and this crank-arm is slotted as is also the rocker-lever gl and a link 1S) extends across between the rocker-lever (/1 and the .crank-arm e1 and said link is connected thereto by bolts and slidable boxes ,which parts are held in position l'v adjusting-sereiv rods 20. This adjustment, i'irovides for giving the link 19 to vary the extent ol uioveiiieiit or throw ot' the rocker-lever f/ the saine actuating the wedges (x and controlling the extent ot' their movement, between the hammersl and dies.

)n the lower end ot' the crank-:trui i" is an adjustable bar c2 movable in a slideway on the lower end of Said crank-arm and connected thereto by a bolt and having a `stop bolt adjacent to its back end, the vforward end being hardened and curved and coming against the edge of the cani 0 upon the shat't i', which shaft i' is mounted in suitable bearings upon the frame. a of the machine. Upon this shaft -r I also provide a cani o1 and another cam 02 hereinafter more particularly described.

In connection with the swaging mechanism hereinbetore described, I employ an oiling device shown especially in li`ig. t5, and this comprises a support extending to any convenient locality. A base is connected to and rises troni this support, and made with this base l is a horizontal tube and a vertical tube z', the said tube 3 intersecting the horizontal tube The horizontal tt'ibe i passes for an appreciable distance into the end of the tubular shaft c and it is threaded adjacent to the entrance to the said shaft at which point there is a nut l1 upon the threaded portion and a washer l2 coming between the nut and the end of the tubular shaft c. And on the extreme end of the horizontal tube 2 is another threaded portion receiving the cap 9 and between the cap 9 and the -end ot' the tube a washer l0,

these washers being preferably ot' felt to prevent the escape of oil, and the cap 9 is centrally perforated for the passage of the wire to he swaged, which wire is also shown in Fig. 6. The oil comes down the vertical tube '3 into the horizontal tube 2 surrounding the wire to be swag'ed and it passes ont of the open end of the tube into the opening through the tubular shaft c and with the wire passes on through the tubular shaft to the swaging devices, which swaging devices are liberally bathed in oil.

The devicesfor drivingy the earns o 01 and o2 and actuatn the shaft 1^, comprise the following: 0n t e said shaft i is a worm gear v,.and in suitable bearings connected to the frames a and L3 of the machine is a shaft L41 having a worm cz meshing with the Woringear le. Upon the shaft cl and loose thereon is a hub le* having driving pulleys la of different diaineters to provide different speeds for the cam shaft. A clutch is having one face upon the driving pulleys and the other face secured to the shaft It is provided for coupling the driving pulleys and the?,

shaft, and I provide an actuating lever lf3, a shaft '14 extending across through the traine a, an arm 15 and a yoke coupler 1 by the movement of which the driving pulleys com and one clutch face. may he moved longitudinelly o't' the Shaftfor connecting or disconmeeting the driving pulleys and the shaft. A .band not shown passes around the Said pulllefys for communicating power thereto.

These devices are shown, especially in Fig. 2.

The devices for gripping the spoke and drawing the salue along coin-prise the following z' A carriage Z is longitudinally mov able upon ways provided upony the upper part of the frame fr. This carriage is provitletl with upriglit arms :it opposite sides to which the jaws m ml are pivotecl, the Said' jaws pointing toward the Sivaging devices. The carriage is also provided with analljrettalile stop Z1 in the form of a screw ng vert1eall'y.through the t'orivartl part ot' rhe carriage with the enfle thereof eoniing up against the under edge ot' one jaw 'ni-l, anil on the. saifl stop there is a nut for clamping the saine as atljustetl, and I provide a spring; Z2, see Figs. l and Q: the ollice :i is to keep the normally apart. id carriage iS also made with a projection to which the crank-arm m3 is pivotetl and this Crank-arm carries a earn m2 coining above the upper edge of the jaw m, and on the outer end of the Granit-arm is a roller mf nloving over a rib 18 upon the frame n forming a' raceivay. rEllis frame n is vertically luovahle and in ite movement is'inaintained in a punition parallel' with the upper erige of the.

The double crank-arm .S1 is provided with :i roller running upon the periphery of the cani o1 and operated h v said earn to cause the operation o't` the rocher lever S and the sliding` movement ot the jan' carriage l longitudinally ot' the t'ranie a", and I provide a' cord at one end connected to the. rocker-lever s and passing liver the roller in the frame a, arul` at the other end connected to e weight or its equivalei'lt,v the otlice et' which is to hold the rockerlever und the cani arin and the roller 22 against the ain ol and insure the return movement of the said parts. Vhe. :rankarnis nl and ng arel pivoted at. one endto the movable 'traine n, the arm n? at its other enti being pivotecl to the traine u* and the arin 'fr at. its other entl beingl 'connected to the shaft 18 passing through the traine u2 and another crank-arm `n is also pivot'etl to the shaft 18 closely atljaeentto the Cranknrin nl, and this latter eranlearin n is provided with a shoulder anf'l the crank-arm nl is provided with an adjusting piu forming a stop`r the enil of which comes against the shoulder Q4, and on the 'tree end ot' the crank arin vr" is a roller 25 running upon the periphery et' the cani o2 upon the shaft r. This cam imparts to the crunk-erin n3 a swinging movement, intl when the shoulder 2l thereof Genies against the eni'l of the pin et' the crank-arm n?, a niovementi is imparted to the eaill crank-arm nl and from the saine to the 'traine u causing" the traine to be raiseil :nul thcrranl-arin n2 to Svving eorrespontliugly. This rieingg` movement ot' the frame n eausee. a wringing movement to the eranlearin m causing the cam m2 to operate against the upper jaw m and bring the together to grip and hohl the wire So i s to nio've the AJanie longitudinally of' the machine ritth-e proper time. rlhe rising movement el the .traine n, also actuates: the e1':izil arni 2 ot the spoke shearing ileviees, the roller lll of the Said crank arni t aleo liearingij upon the upper surface otI the ril) ttl. I'illueee spoke shearing devices further comprise a hase zt secured to the. traine (.t.

The lower end ot this pin Iii rests npon the upper end olE the sln-a1innhla le QT. The crank arm 2 is also pi\'otall \Y connected to the hase by the pio. 252i. and as before expressed, carries the roller l-t at its onter end and the said t. 'anliarm Z'' is lin-ther provided with a spring actuated latch 35 pivoted thereto above the rocher-arm t1 and there is an :nljnstahle stop 51V upon one of" the upright. bearers the hase L'` against which the latch 33 ada v)ted to come to canse the same to swi D Olie end of the roelierairm L carries a nat, shown in Figs. S, 9 and l0, which ont secures to the rorltw-arm a nosing 3? upon its opposite face and adjacent to the lower edge of the latch 35. ln the operation of the spoke shearing device, when the frame 'n is at its lowest position, the crank-arm 15 is depressed and the lower hooked end oLt' the latch comes underneath the nosinlgIl 3l. When the frame n is raised by the operation ot the cani o2 and the crank-arms n3 and al 'the said Cranlierin t is also raised because of its roller 34 bearing upon the rib l5 of the 'frame 'n and as the said crank-z1r1n t2 is raised, the latch 35 engages the nosing 37 swinging the rocker-arm t1 and forcing downward the shearing-blade .27 cuttingr ott tie projecting Swaged wire into a spoke at the vertical meeting faces of the shearingblade 27 a'nd spoke-guide 2G, so that. the said spoke falls awa)r from the machine, the end of the wire remaining in the tnhnlar spokegnide 2G" adjacent to the shearing-blade. 'lhis'shearing action is accomplished loeforc the eranli-arm t2 is fully raised and as the parts are elevated the latch 35 comes against the stop 36 land the lateh is swung on its pivot and its lower hooked end is moved away from beneath the nosing; 37, allowing the rockenarni t1 to fail and the sprine' QB to raise the shearing blade 27 and restore the said parts to their normal position ready for the operations to be repeated with the up Aand down movement of the frame. 'n i y .The various, parts hereinbefore described are timed in their severaloperations for the proper ln'rt'ormance of the swaging operar# tion and with reference to the position ot`l the parts shown in Fig'. l, the arrow shows the direction of the cam o and indicates that the wedges 1; have heen pushed in between the hammers and diesto the t'nll extent ol their movement; and will he held inthat position nntil the hai' e? drops oli' the end newness ol the eain o, shown in dotted lines, While the wire is heing swaged. These parts also indicate that the carriage Z and the grippers have heen moved to their forward position nearest; to the swaging devices and also that the trame a has been raised to bring the jaws together to take a new bite on the Wire and also that the shearing devices have'heen operated. to ont a spoke from the length of wire projeetmg beyond the tubular guide 26.

In the tui-ther movement; of the parts, as

the swaging progresses, the cani 01 moves the roller 22, the crank-arm 31, rocker-lever s and the carriage Z toward the right hand' the open ggriiipers to more the carriage Z forward to obtain a fresh oite npon the wire, and in this way the various openations are wogressiveliT repeated with each length of wire and spoke swaged therefrom.

The two-part cams o and 02 are preferably iliade alike and the description 'of/one will sniiiee for both. The two-part cam o preterabl/ comprises similar companion disks 42' and upon oppositesides of the tlange u1 of the huh o keyednpon the shaft r, see Figs. 12 und The eam disks are corre spondinely slotted at t and bolts 47 pass through' both Slots lto clamp the parts together. The cam-disk 42 is slotted at and a. holt :t8 passes through the slot into' the flange u1 to hold the disk independently thereto. The mardi-sl; t3 isvslotted at lo and a holt 4l) passes through the slot into the iiange u to hold this disk independentlji' thereto. Either cani-disk may' he adjusted and set in relai-ion to the other to properly rev'nlate the extent ot' movement of the parts enacted hv the cam o. lf the 'ezini-idisk -l is to he adjusted the holt. il and 'imite Tiff are loosened and the disk 43 tnx-ned en the huh u to lengthen or slierten the eainsmface and control the stroke of the parts operated thereby, and in this movementthe bolt 48 holds the cam-dish l2 in a fixed relation to the flange and hub. If the cani-disk 42 is to be adjusted the liolts 47 and the bolt 48 are loosened and the holt Ltt) left untouched when, the cam-disk et? can be til-ned -upon the hub independent of the din-.disk 43. Asthe rain o etleets the operation of the wedges and the ram o! theanovinent if the trainen and consequently the action of thepinecrs and the ent-ting mechanism, it is 0b rions that the adjustment ot these parts and the timing/1n `of their movements can he effected to a ninety according `to the length eiliected between the point ai! cam Vtace of the section o `vslioiilder rest; between :c

and size of the spoke being` acted upon.' rlhe cam 01 for etliecting the movement ot the carriage and grippers, and which cam is shown particularly in Figs. 14 and 1" ,.is ret'era.bi v made with removable interchangeable sections 'l'. In this connection the web ot the cani is'oit'set to torni a lrecess tolexactly receive the plate or' web of the section 't'. and a bolt 50 passing through the parts holdsthem together. The ends of the coincide with the ends of the cam face ot the eain proper,- and upon this section I provide a sui-tace ot' equal radius, that is, onel struck from the axial center ot' the cam and -where no n1ove f nient given to the roller 22 running upon the cam surface. The section t' is thus made for the purpose of producing a pause at the end ot the swaging action so as to l form a shoulder between the part swaged Land the butt end of the spoke, so that the shoulders at the respective ends of the swaged portion nn,7 be as nearly alike as. possible and may further be true and even. This `portion oit the Section l1,Fig. 14, is intery mediate between the lines ai, The surface of .this camol after this point of rest, is increased soas to draw the blank between the parts .fc and zal, and from zal to .n2 is a portion also oi,l even radius to -forin an outer rest,` and the return movement of the pineers is and the pointE point also of; and .'L", forming an= the swaging operafri, and Ahere there is another equal radius between af inner pointot restnand tion'is eiiiected withv the-rotation of the cam between the point aA and the'point If a spoke of .shorter length is to be swaged, the section e is removed and another interchangeable section inserted where the i and e occupies a slightly ditierent position, the saine being nearerto the point of swaging for ay short-` spoke,.and lfarther from the point ofswag-l ,ing and .nearer the point w1 for a longer Vspoke.
