摘要： A sheet metal working apparatus having a supply mechanism adapted to supply an elongated and flat strip of sheet metal stock to an inlet of a punch press and along a longitudinal axis of the strip. An intermittently operable drive device is provided for effecting an intermittent movement of the strip of sheet metal stock relative to a punch press. A set of tools are provided on the punch press as well as a second intermittent drive device for effecting a metal working engagement of the tools with the sheet metal stock during intervals of time between the movement of the sheet metal stock to produce a continuous strip of a finished sheet metal fin stock. Guide structure on the apparatus guides the continuous finished sheet metal fin stock from an outlet of the punch press and effects a holding of the fin stock slidingly thereto until a predesignated length of fin stock has exited the punch press whereupon the fin stock becomes severed to a predefined length and an ejector mechanism forcibly moves the severed fin stock away from the guide structure toward a device for collecting a plurality of finite length segments of fin stock.

摘要： A forming apparatus for cutting and forming tubing, which apparatus has a tubing-advancing drive unit associated therewith for engaging the tubing and intermittently feeding it into the apparatus, and a coil stand positioned adjacent the apparatus for permitting elongate flexible tubing to be intermittently supplied thereto. The coil stand includes a frame mounting thereon a shaft, and a reel supported on the shaft and being rotatable about the axis thereof. The reel includes a pair of end flanges which confine a coil of tubing therebetween, which tubing as unwound from the reel is led therefrom into the forming apparatus wherein it is engaged by the drive unit thereof. A drive means is engageable with the reel to initiate rotation thereof in an unwinding direction to permit feeding of tubing from the reel to the apparatus, which drive means is automatically disengaged from the reel after a selected interval to permit continued free rotation of the reel in the unwinding direction.

摘要： An elbow forming apparatus having a forming arbor with an exterior groove for accommodating a tube. A movable mandrel assembly, including a wiping member, is disposed opposite the arbor and has a further groove which cooperates with the arbor to confine the tube therebetween. An elongated rodlike mandrel is slidably inserted into the free end of the tube, after the latter has been fed into a position adjacent the arbor. The mandrel assembly is mounted on a first support structure which is rotatably supported on a second support structure, the latter being slidably supported on a third support structure which is rotatably supported on a frame for rotative movement. A cam-and-follower connects the mandrel assembly to the arbor so that, upon swinging movement of the third support structure, the mandrel assembly and the associated wiper is swingably moved around the arbor which causes a simultaneous and substantially linear retraction of the mandrel from the tube accompanied by a simultaneous bending of the tube about the arbor. The groove formed in the arbor preferably includes an intermediate straight portion joined between two bend portions, and the cam-and-follower maintains the mandrel assembly and the wiper closely adjacent the arbor during the swinging of the third support structure.

摘要： A cutting device for cutting elongate flat-walled tubular stock into preselected lengths which cutting device includes opposed circular cutting blades that are laterally movable to effect a transverse cut across the tubing. The cutting blades are rotatably mounted and engaged with a locking assembly to prevent rotation thereof. Each cutting blade includes a peripheral cutting edge incrementally defining a plurality of contact portions with one contact portion being disposed in an active cutting position and the remainder of the contact portions being disposed in inactive standby positions. Each cutting portion has an arcuate shape so as to minimize the vertical components of the cutting force being applied thereby as the depth of the cut approaches an interior surface of the tubing. Disengagement of the locking assembly permits incremental rotation of the cutting blade so as to move an unused contact portion from an inactive cutting position to the active cutting position to replace a contact portion which has become worn.
