摘要:
A conveyor for simultaneously rotating and advancing cylindrical articles, such as lengths of pipe along a predetermined path of movement. Rollers having substantially spherical surfaces are mounted in two spaced parallel rows with the planes of rotation of the rollers in each row being parallel to each other. Roller drive is by a cylindrical member rotating on a fixed axis engaging the two rows of rollers from below, while the conveyed pipe lies in the trough formed by the two rows of rollers. The angle of the planes of rotation of the two rows can be simultaneously varied in opposite directions about an axis through the pipe by a pair of oppositely movable operating members extending the length of the conveyor and the mounting means are interconnected for simultaneous angle variation.

A DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING AN ELONGATED WORK PIECE SUCH AS TUBES OR RODS WITH CIRCULAR OR ANNULAR SECTION DURING TREATMENT THEREOF AND GIVING THE WORK PIECE A ROTATIONAL FEEDING MOVEMENT AS WELL AS A LONGITUDINAL FEEDING MOVEMENT WITH THE SPEED OF THE LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENT BEING VERY SLOW AS COMPARED WITH THE ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE WORKPIECE.
摘要:
An automatic bar feeder for a centerless grinder having conventional adjustable bar-supporting rollers (68) carried by a long vertically adjustable horizontal guide tube (28), a feed ramp (14), an escapement shaft (17), a plurality of long narrow load arms (30) on said shaft having long adjusting slots (32) for mounting adjustable bar-engaging stops (31), adjustable escapement plates (18) on said shaft to lift one bar only from the ramp to the load arms, a high-speed pneumatic cylinder (69) for turning the escapement shaft rapidly to cause the escapement plates to throw the lowermost bar (W) on the ramp outwardly at a high speed such that it clears the nearest roller (68) and engages the stops (31) before the arms are lowered below said rollers (68), hydraulic cylinder means (165) for retarding and controlling the speed of lowering of the arms near the end of the stroke of said cylinder, a skewed motor-driven drive wheel (92) for engaging the bar to feed it into the grinder (B), and means (94) for swinging the drive wheel vertically.
