摘要:
A servo drive spring conveyance apparatus is disclosed in which a spring is grasped by a grabbing jaw of a multi-armed conveying star and fed from there to additional stations. The conveyance apparatus includes two belt loops that are provided for the conveyance of the springs.

A box spring comprises a rectangular base frame, a wire grid, and a plurality of parallel rows of coil springs supporting the grid atop the base frame. Each row of coil springs is made from a single continuous length of wire in which adjacent coils are interconnected by an interconnecting segment of the wire. Each interconnecting segment is in the form of a generally diagonally extending bar having substantially parallel end portions interconnected at the center by an offset section, which offset section is formed by rotating the offset section relative to the parallel end portions while the end portions are restrained against rotation.

A coil spring assembling machine with a row of clamp fittings for clamping coil springs in a row, and first sets of upper and lower coil drive planetary rollers at the infeed end of the row of clamps for infeeding upper and lower helical coils to connect the row of coil springs, at least one of the upper and lower clamps being replaced by a novel combination coil spring clamp and helical coil feeding unit with coil drive planetary rollers within the clamp jaws, for feeding the helical coils, the clamping jaws and feed rollers being simultaneously separable to allow release of the wire coils with release of the springs; a set of clinching units on the rear end of the row of clamps and a set of cutting and clinching units at the infeed end of the row of clamps, these units each having a rotational spindle with laterally offset, axially extending finger projections and an abutment surface for cooperatively clinching the ends of the helical wires, and the cutting and clinching units also having fixed cutoff blades adjacent the rotating spindles to nip off the ends of the helical wires being twisted.

Disclosed herein is a coil spring feeding apparatus comprising a plurality of elongated magazines supported by a frame in parallel relation to each other and each including a bottom and a discharge end, a conveyor assembly extending transversely of and adjacent to the discharge ends of the magazines for receiving the endmost coil springs from the magazines and for transporting the coil springs transversely of and away from the magazine ends, which conveyor includes a pair of spaced, parallel endless belts each having a top surface and supported for intermittent travel transversely of the magazine ends, an elongated platform having and upper surface, a cylinder for locating the platform, during belt movements, in a lower position with the platform upper surface beneath the belt top surfaces, and for locating the platform between belt movements, in a raised position, and a transfer device for withdrawing the endmost coil springs from the magazines and for transferring the endmost coil springs onto the conveyor assembly between belt movements.

This invention is concerned with manufacture of spring interior units using known machinery for the manufacture of hour-glass shaped spring members wherein a plurality of the hour-glass shaped spring members are conveyed to a locality whereat a plurality of said hour-glass shaped spring members are displaced in a form of a row located adjacent to another row of springs whence the two rows of springs are joined together at both their end convolutions and the process repeated until a spring interior unit with a predetermined number of rows of springs is formed automatically.

Disclosed is equipment for joining together parallel rows of coiled springs by means of helical wires. Two rows of spaced clamps hold two parallel rows of coiled springs which overlap at the spring ends while the helical wires are wound about the overlap of the springs. The equipment includes an assembly for opening and closing the clamps with minimum wear of equipment components. If substantial wear does occur, the assembly includes means which can be manually adjusted to compensate for the wear. Thus, accurate and precise alignment of the clamps can be easily maintained. The assembly for opening and closing the clamps includes four elements: a cam, an actuator, a cam follower and a connector. The actuator, connected to the cam, is driven by a pneumatic cylinder to move the cam. The connector has the cam follower attached to one end and movable jaw members of the clamps attached to its other end. When the cam moves, the follower follows its movement. This causes the connecting means to move the movable jaw members between open and closed positions.
摘要:
A NUMBER OF COIL SPRINGS ARRANGED WITH THEIR AXES HORIZONTAL, ARE REMOVED, WHILE STILL NESTED, FROM A SUPPLY OF NESTED SPRINGS, BY A RECIPROCATING CARRIAGE. A PAIR OF SWINGING FINGERS ON EACH GRIPPER OF AN ALIGNED ROW OF GRIPPERS, GRIPS AND REMOVES ONLY THE END SPRING FROM
THE CARRIAGE AS THE CARRIAGE MOVES PAST EACH GRIPPER. THE ROW OF GRIPPERS ERECTS THE ROW OF SPRINGS AND THEN TRANSFERS THEM TO A CONVENTIONAL SPRING-ROW ASSEMBLING MACHINE.
