A die and punch assembly for use on a powder compacting press for making articles compacted from a powder and means for lubricating the die and punch assembly. The assembly comprises a die plate appropriately mounted to the press and includes an aperture in which a die bushing is mounted, the die bushing having a cavity with a punch slidably and snuggly disposed therein. The punch is actuated by a punch support which is, in turn, carried by a pair of posts extending below the die plate to permit reciprocal movement of the punch within the die cavity. A core rod has one end disposed within a longitudinal bore formed in the punch, while the other end of the core rod is fixedly mounted to the posts below the punch support. A cup-shaped tubular housing carried by the posts encloses the punch support, the core rod support, the punch, the core rod, and the posts with the open end of the tubular housing in a fluid sealing abutment with the lower side of the die plate. An actuating arm extending through the core rod support and the bottom of the tubular housing operatively connects the punch support to an external drive means to selectively cause reciprocation of the punch support. A fluid lubricant reservoir having a predetermined fluid level is connected to the interior of the tubular housing for lubricating the walls of the die cavity during the compacting operation.

A DIE AND PUNCH ASSEMBLY FOR USE ON A POWDER COMPACTING PRESS FOR MAKING ARTICLES COMPACTED FROM A POWDER MATERIAL. THE ASSEMBLY COMPISES A DIE PLATE APPROPRIATELY MOUNTED TO THE PRESS AND INCLUDES ONE OR MORE DIE CAVITIES, EACH DIE CAVITY HAVING TELESCOPICALLY ARRANGED INNER AND OUTER PUNCHES ADAPTED FOR MOVEMENT RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER TO FORM VARIOUS SHAPED ARTICLES. THE OUTER PUNCH IS ACTUATED BY A FIRST PUNCH SUPPORT WHICH, IN TURN, IS CARRIED BY A PAIR OF POSTS EXTENDING BELOW THE DIE PLATE TO PERMIT RECIPROCAL MOVEMENT OF THE OUTER PUNCH WITHIN THE DIE CAVITY, WHILE THE INNER PUNCH IS CARRIED BY A SECOND PUNCH SUPPORT WHICH, IN TURN, IS SLIDABLY CARRIED BY THE POST IN A POSITION BELOW THE FIRST PUNCH SUPPORT. AN
ACTUATING STEM, OPERATIVELY CONNECTED TO ONE OF THE PUNCH SUPPORTS, IS ADAPTED TO IMPART A RECIPROCAL MOVEMENT THERETO AND INCLUDES AN ADJUSTABLE ABUTMENT MEMBER ADAPTED TO ENGAGE THE OTHER PUNCH SUPPORTS TO DISPLACE THE LATTER IN AN UPWARD DIRECTION TOGETHER WITH THE FIRST PUNCH SUPPORT AS A UNIT AFTER THE ACTUATING STEM HAS MOVED THE FIRST PUNCH SUPPORT A PREDETERMINED DISTANCE TOWARD THE DIE CAVITY. THE SECOND PUNCH SUPPORT HAS AN ADJUSTABLE ABUTMENT MEMBER COOPERATING WITH THE ACTUATING STEM TO RETRACT BOTH PUNCH SUPPORTS AS A UNIT AWAY FROM THE DIE CAVITY AFTER AN ARTICLE HAS BEEN COMPACTED IN THE DIE CAVITY.
摘要:
A system for controlling the forward and reverse operation of a boat having a propulsion unit, which unit is mounted on the boat in an appropriate location and rotated to provide steering of the boat. Included is a mechanism for providing a rapid turning of the propulsion unit through a turn of approximately one-half circle to redirect the force of propulsion forwardly and thus provide reverse drive of the boat. The mechanism includes an actuation system connected to the propulsion unit itself for applying a control to it and rapidly reorienting it and changing its thrust direction. The system is shown with several different embodiments of both mechanical and fluid operated mechanisms to provide the rapid turning of the propulsion unit independently of the normal steering action.

A DIE AND PUNCH ASSEMBLY FOR USE ON A POWDER COMPACTING PRESS FOR MAKING ARTICLES COMPACTED FROM A POWDER AND INCLUDING A DEFLECTION COMPENSATOR WHICH ALLOWS THE PUNCH TO REMAIN ENGAGED WITH THE SUPPORT THE COMPACTED ARTICLES AFTER THE COMPACTING PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE ARTICLE IS RELIEVES. THE ASSEMBLY COMPRISES A DIE PLATE APPROPRIATELY MOUNTED TO THE PRESS AND INCLUDES ONE OR MORE DIE CAVITIES, EACH OF WHICH HAS A PUNCH SLIDABLY AND SNUGLY DISPOSED THEREIN. THE PUNCH IS ACTUATED BY A PUNCH UPPER SUPPORT WHICH, IN TURN, IS SLIDABLY CARRIED BY A PAIR OF POSTS EXTENDING BELOW THE DIE PLATE TO PERMIT RECIPROCABLE MOVEMENT OF THE PUNCH WITHIN THE DIE CAVITY. A SECOND PUNCH SUPPORT SLIDABLY CARRIED BY THE POSTS IS POSITIONED BELOW THE PUNCH UPPER SUPPORT AND OPERATIVELY CONNECTS THE PUNCH UPPER SUPPORT TO AN ACTUATING RAM WHICH SELECTIVELY CAUSES RECIPROCATION OF THE PUNCH WITHIN THE DIE CAVITY. A CORE ROD IS PROVIDED HAVING ONE END DISPOSED WITHIN A LONGITUDINAL BORE FORMED IN THE PUNCH, WHILE THE OTHER END OF THE CORE ROD IS FIXEDLY MOUNTED TO A CORE ROD SUPPORT WHICH, IN TURN, IS FIXEDLY SUPPORTED BETWEEN THE PUNCH UPPER AND LOWER SUPPORTS BY THE PAIR OF POSTS. THE PUNCH LOWER SUPPORT CARRIERS THE DEFLECTION COMPENSATOR WHICH COMPRISES A BUSHING FIXEDLY MOUNTED WITHIN A CENTRALLY DISPOSED BORE IN THE PUNCH LOWER SUPPORT AND IN WHICH THE UPPER END OF THE ACTUATING RAM IS SLIDABLY MOUNTED FOR RELATIVE RECIPROCABLE MOVEMENT. THE ACTUATING RAM HAS AN END PORTION EXTENDING THROUGH THE BRUSHING THE CARRIES AN AXIALLY ADJUSTABLE ENLARGED HEAD ADAPTED TO ENGAGE THE UPPER SURFACE OF THE PUNCH LOWER SUPPORT TO MOVE THE PUNCH SUPPORTS AND THUS THE PUNCH DOWNWARDLY IN THE DIE CAVITY, WHILE AN ENLARGED AXIALLY ADJUSTABLE INTERMEDIATE PORTION OF THE ACTUATING RAM IS ADAPTED TO ENGAGE THE LOWER PORTION OF THE BUSHING TO IMPART AN UPWARDLY DIRECTED CORE TO THE PUNCH SUPPORTS TO DRIVE THE PUNCH UPWARDLY INTO THE DIE CAVITY TO COMPACT THE POWDER MATERIAN INTO A COMPACTED ARTICLE. THE PUNCH ACTUATING MECHANISM IS PROVIDED WITH A SPRING LOADES LOST MOTION LINK TO BIAS THE PUNCH END INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMPACTED ARTICLE TO PREVENT DAMAGE THERETO WHEN THE PUNCH ACTUATING RAM IS RETRACTED TO RELIEVE THE COMPACTING PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE ARTICLE DURING COMPACTION.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for adding an additive material, such as a fluid (gas or liquid) to a granular base material which is to be compacted, providing for maximum saturation of the granular base material with the fluid by injecting the fluid into the granular base material in metered proportions prior to or during the compacting operation. The method may be advantageously carried out in an apparatus such as a compacting press having a die provided with at least one die cavity into which a lower compacting member extends for movement upwardly through the die cavity. The die cavity is filled with a granular base material from a filling head positioned above the die cavity. The filling head is part of a positioner assembly pivotally supported over the die cavity and which comprises, in addition to the filling head, an anvil or upper compacting member adapted to be placed over the filled die cavity for compression of the granular material between the anvil or upper compacting member and the lower compacting member. The fluid, under controlled pressure and in a predetermined amount, is injected into the granular base material immediately prior to or during advancement of the lower compacting member within the die cavity for compression of the granular material into a fluid-saturated compacted article, and thereafter the fluid-saturated compacted article is ejected from the die cavity for disposal into a suitable receptacle.

A die and punch assembly for use on a powder compacting press for making articles compacted from a powder and a method of assembly. The assembly comprises a die plate appropriately mounted to the press and includes an aperture in which a die bushing is adhesively bonded, the die bushing having one or more cavities, each of which has a punch slidably and snugly disposed therein. The punches are collectively actuated by a common punch support which is in turn carried by a pair of posts extending below the die plate to permit reciprocal movement of the punches within their respective die cavities. A plurality of core rods are provided, with each punch having one end of at least one core rod disposed within a longitudinal bore formed in each punch, while the other end of said core rod is fixedly mounted on a core rod support, which in turn is fixedly mounted to the posts below the punch support. Means disposed below the core rod support and extending therethrough are operatively connected to the punch support to selectively cause reciprocation thereof.
