967,658. Time switches. J. W. CONNER. Jan. 1, 1963 [Jan. 4, 1962], No. 166/63. Heading H2B. [Also in Divisions B4, G3 and G5] In a work-table in which a parts supply tray pivotally supported on the table and having compartments, the tray being advanced by steps to move selected compartments to operating position, each stepped advance being effected by an electric motor and brake unit, a timing device including an individual delay control is associated with each compartment. A selector switch connected so as to be shiftable with the stepped advance of the tray renders operative selected timing delay controls. The timing device comprises two separate circuit closing slides 172, 174 adapted to move towards one another on guide rods 175, 177. The slides are made of non-conducting material and are supported above a series of current conducting rods 176 which are connected by a central conductor bar 178 whereby to provide the several timing circuits. A switch contact 182 is slidably adjustable on each rod 176. Circuit closing spring contact members provided on the slides 172, 174 co-operate with the switch contacts 182. The slides 172, 174 are moved inwardly towards the centre of the timer unit by a pair of cords 196 which pass over pulleys to a centrally located wind-up drum 202. The slides are returned by springs 208, 210. The drum assembly is intermittently driven by an electric motor 218 through a disconnectable driving connection which includes a driving cone 222 and driven friction roller 234. A solenoid 246 when energized by contact of the selector switch arm with one of the contacts of the selector switch rocks the arm 230 and roller 234 away from the driving cone 242 and permits movement of the slides to their starting position. The subsequent opening of the timer circuit as the selector switch arm moves from one to another of its contacts, de-energizes the solenoid and permits the friction driving roller 234 to engage the cone. The rate of advance of the timer slides 172, 174 can be adjusted by axial adjustment of the position of the friction driving cone 222 by means of a contoured timing control cam 256 which is operated by energizing a solenoid 274 by means of a hand wheel 276.
摘要:
A watch-repair set-up including a watch movement-holder strip, a repair-materials box which is connected to the strip, a slide in which the strip and box may move in unison and a cover which covers the slide. The materials box includes a series of rows of cups which hold watch parts and the strip includes a plurality of openings, each of which accepts a movement holder. Each row is aligned with an opening so as to ensure that, during repair of a watch movement, parts will be replaced in the proper movement. The watch-repair set-up including the above-mentioned components is also designed so that when not in use for watch repair, it may be assembled into a compact arrangement for easy storage or transportation.
摘要:
A work-transport method and apparatus for transporting workpieces, such as watch movement assemblies, in stacked relationship in individual compartments of a work container moved reciprocably over a rotary work table. The workpieces are held in frames within the compartments. The frames are removed automatically from the compartments individually and inserted in work-receiving openings or holes in the rotary table. The workpieces are then automatically returned after work operations have been performed thereon, to the original compartment in which the workpieces were stored and removed therefrom.
