Definitions
- the present invention refers in general to hook clamping devices for hooking workpieces, such as metal sheets, which are intended to engage the edge of a workpiece during a work, for example a side edge thereof or the edge of a hole formed in the workpiece, in order to keep the workpiece in a predetermined position.
- EP-1 393 861 describes a hook clamping device comprising a hook clamping member movable between a back and raised position of rest, and a forward and lowered position for clamping a workpiece, which projects from the device through a relatively wide opening.
- the movement of the hook clamping member is controlled by a four-bar linkage, so that it translates remaining parallel to itself.
- the linkage includes a toggle mechanism in order to make irreversible the locking position of the hook clamping member, so that a force applied to the workpiece, when it is clamped by the hook clamping member, cannot cause an accidental movement of the hook clamping member from such a position.
- a movable member for closing the aforesaid opening is associated with the hook clamping member.
- the movable member is biased by resilient means and has a sealing lip which remains into contact with a side of the hook clamping member in order to close a gap between the wide opening and the hook clamping member during the movement of the latter, so that penetration of foreign bodies within the body of the device through such a gap is avoided.
- the hook clamping member of this known device always projects in a considerable manner outside of the body, in all the positions thereof. Moreover, both the mechanism which controls the movement of the hook clamping member and the system for closing the wide opening of the body, are relatively complex and therefore expensive to be manufactured and potentially not much reliable in operation.
- the invention relates to a hook clamping member of the type defined in the preamble of appended claim 1.
- EP-1 683 606 discloses such a device which comprises a hook clamping member movable between a rear and raised position of rest and a forward and lowered clamping position of a workpiece, which hook clamping member projects from the body through a relatively wide opening.
- a fluid controlled actuator provided with a slidable rod for controlling the movement of the hook clamping member between two end positions, is associated with the body of the device.
- a mechanism of articulation, interposed between the hook clamping member and the rod of the actuator, includes a transverse guide pin fixed to the body and engaging a shaped slit formed in the lower portion of the hook clamping member, which lower portion is furthermore articulated to the upper end of the rod.
- a slidable guard member mounted above the wide opening of the body, has a narrow opening crossed by the hook clamping member for closing the gap between the wide opening and the hook clamping member, in order to prevent foreign bodies, which could hinder the movement of the hook clamping member, to enter into the body.

- the hook clamping member moves between its two end positions while it remains almost parallel to itself, so that a remarkable portion thereof projects always from the body of the device.
- this device is not adapted to be used for applications in which the hook clamping member, in its position of rest, must remain substantially confined within the body of the device.
- the hook clamping member articulation mechanism of this document does not allow to make irreversible its clamping position, so that a high force applied to the workpiece to be clamped could cause an accidental movement of the hook clamping member with respect to its clamping position.

- the device of the invention turns out to be highly effective in operation and relatively simple and economic to be manufactured. It allows a wide movement, particularly an angular movement, of the hook clamping member to obtained, thanks to which the hook clamping member can reach a position of rest in which it is almost entirely confined in the body of the device, in order to avoid the most possible any presence of elements projecting from the device, which might hinder the movement of a workpiece to be clamped, when the hook clamping member is in its position of rest.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers in general to hook clamping devices for hooking workpieces, such as metal sheets, which are intended to engage the edge of a workpiece during a work, for example a side edge thereof or the edge of a hole formed in the workpiece, in order to keep the workpiece in a predetermined position.
- These devices, intended to be used in industrial machining lines, typically during welding or bending operations of workpieces, are usually exposed to environmental conditions in which working slags and powder are present, that could penetrate within their body, with the risk of endangering their operation.

EP-1 393 861 describes a hook clamping device comprising a hook clamping member movable between a back and raised position of rest, and a forward and lowered position for clamping a workpiece, which projects from the device through a relatively wide opening. The movement of the hook clamping member is controlled by a four-bar linkage, so that it translates remaining parallel to itself. The linkage includes a toggle mechanism in order to make irreversible the locking position of the hook clamping member, so that a force applied to the workpiece, when it is clamped by the hook clamping member, cannot cause an accidental movement of the hook clamping member from such a position. A movable member for closing the aforesaid opening is associated with the hook clamping member. The movable member is biased by resilient means and has a sealing lip which remains into contact with a side of the hook clamping member in order to close a gap between the wide opening and the hook clamping member during the movement of the latter, so that penetration of foreign bodies within the body of the device through such a gap is avoided. - The hook clamping member of this known device always projects in a considerable manner outside of the body, in all the positions thereof. Moreover, both the mechanism which controls the movement of the hook clamping member and the system for closing the wide opening of the body, are relatively complex and therefore expensive to be manufactured and potentially not much reliable in operation.
- More particularly, the invention relates to a hook clamping member of the type defined in the preamble of appended
claim 1. -
EP-1 683 606 discloses such a device which comprises a hook clamping member movable between a rear and raised position of rest and a forward and lowered clamping position of a workpiece, which hook clamping member projects from the body through a relatively wide opening. A fluid controlled actuator provided with a slidable rod for controlling the movement of the hook clamping member between two end positions, is associated with the body of the device. A mechanism of articulation, interposed between the hook clamping member and the rod of the actuator, includes a transverse guide pin fixed to the body and engaging a shaped slit formed in the lower portion of the hook clamping member, which lower portion is furthermore articulated to the upper end of the rod. A slidable guard member, mounted above the wide opening of the body, has a narrow opening crossed by the hook clamping member for closing the gap between the wide opening and the hook clamping member, in order to prevent foreign bodies, which could hinder the movement of the hook clamping member, to enter into the body. - The device of this document has several disadvantages. In fact, the hook clamping member moves between its two end positions while it remains almost parallel to itself, so that a remarkable portion thereof projects always from the body of the device. As a result, this device is not adapted to be used for applications in which the hook clamping member, in its position of rest, must remain substantially confined within the body of the device. Moreover, the hook clamping member articulation mechanism of this document does not allow to make irreversible its clamping position, so that a high force applied to the workpiece to be clamped could cause an accidental movement of the hook clamping member with respect to its clamping position.
- In view of overcoming the aforesaid drawbacks, the subject of the invention is a device having the features set forth in the appended claims.
- According to the invention, the hook clamping device comprises movement means adapted to move the hook clamping member according to a mainly angular motion in order to allow the hook clamping member to reach, in its position of rest, a configuration in which it is arranged substantially within the body, the movement means including a toggle mechanism adapted to make irreversible the clamping position of the hook clamping member, and the translation of the guard member being guided by guide means which extend between the guard member and the hook clamping member.
- By virtue of such features, the device of the invention turns out to be highly effective in operation and relatively simple and economic to be manufactured. It allows a wide movement, particularly an angular movement, of the hook clamping member to obtained, thanks to which the hook clamping member can reach a position of rest in which it is almost entirely confined in the body of the device, in order to avoid the most possible any presence of elements projecting from the device, which might hinder the movement of a workpiece to be clamped, when the hook clamping member is in its position of rest.
- According to a preferred feature of the invention, the hook clamping member has a pair of symmetrical loop-shaped grooves, formed on its side opposite surfaces, both such grooves being engaged by respective coaxial pins projecting from the guard member.
- By virtue of such a feature, the device of the invention allow the movement of the hook clamping member and of the guard member to be guided effectively in a simultaneous manner.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will be made clearer by the following detailed description, provided as a non-limitative example and referred to the appended drawings, in which:
-
figure 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention, in which the hook clamping member is in its forward position for clamping a workpiece, -
figure 2 is a sectioned side elevational view of the device offigure 1 , -
figure 3 is a view similar tofigure 1 , from which a head plate of the device has been removed, -
figure 4 is an enlarged view of a detail indicated by arrow IV infigure 3 , lacking of the head plate and of the guard member, -
figures 5 and 6 are views similar tofigure 2 showing different steps of the movement of the hook clamping member, respectively, of whichfigure 6 shows such a member in its position of rest, -
figure 7 is a view similar tofigure 3 , lacking of the head plate of the device, the hook clamping member being in its position of rest, -
figure 8 is a view similar tofigure 1 corresponding to the position of rest of the hook clamping member shown infigure 6 , and -
figure 9 is a top elevational view from arrow IX offigure 8 . - With reference to the figures, the body of a hook clamping device which can be used for clamping workpieces, typically sheet, in a predetermined position during working operations, is indicated 10. In particular, workpieces are clamped at their perimetral edge or at the edge of a hole formed in the workpiece, in which case the device is usually provided above with an elongated centring member (not shown in the figures as being of a type known per se) intended to be inserted in the aforesaid hole.
- The
body 10 usually comprises a pair of half-shells inner cavity 14 of thebody 10. Arectangular head plate 16 is fixed above the half-shells plate 16 has a relatively wide through opening 18, the shape of which is usually rectangular and elongated in the direction parallel to the side faces of the half-shells plate 16. - A fluid controlled actuator, typically a pneumatic actuator, is connected to the
body 10 above the half-shells slidable rod 20 extending within thecavity 14. The free end 20a of therod 20, upper with reference to the figures, is articulated by atransverse pin 22 to an end of a connectingrod 24, or of a pair of parallel connecting rods, the other end of which is articulated to thelower connection portion 28 of ahook clamping member 30, by anotherpin 26 parallel to thepin 22. - The
pin 26 crosses also the free end of acrank 32, or of a pair of parallel cranks, the opposite end of which is rotatably mounted at 34 with respect to the half-shells portion 28 of themember 30 with respect to such a crank. - The
hook clamping member 30 has aloop portion 36, at its side opposite to theportion 28, intended to allow a workpiece supported on the upper surface ofplate 16 to be clamped. Theloop portion 36 slidably engages with a longitudinal clearance thewide opening 18 of theplate 16, in order that it can project beyond the upper surface of such a plate in the clamping configuration of a workpiece. - A
transverse pin 38 is inserted at an intermediate portion of themember 30, in such a manner that the ends thereof project from opposite sides from themember 30. These ends, preferably provided withrespective rotary bearings 40, slidably engage a pair of symmetricalarched grooves 42 formed in thebody 10 on the inner surface of the half-shells - The
hook clamping member 30 undergoes a mostly angular movement between a pair of opposite positions, that is a rear and lowered position of rest (figures 6 to 9 ), in which it is substantially arranged entirely within thebody 10, and a forward and raised position for clamping a workpiece (figures 1 to 4 ), in which itsloop portion 36 projects outwardly, as a result of the axial sliding of therod 20 and by virtue of the movement mechanism consisting of the connecting rod, or the connecting rods, 24 and of the crank, or the cranks, 32, as well as by virtue of the engagement of the ends of thepin 38 in thegrooves 42. - A pair of
symmetrical grooves 44 are formed on the opposite side surfaces of theloop portion 36 of thehook clamping member 30, each of which has a loop shaped profile generally corresponding to that of theportion 36. Respective portions of a pair ofpins 46 are engaged in thegrooves 44, such pins being inserted in respective coaxial holes formed at the opposite sides of aflat guard plate 48 slidably mounted in a longitudinalrectilinear seat 50 of theplate 16, whichseat 50 is formed in a position adjacent to and facing thecavity 14 of thebody 10. In particular, the portions of thepins 46 inserted in thegrooves 44 project transversely and from opposite sides with respect to a rectangular through opening 52 of theguard plate 48, the extension of this opening in the longitudinal direction being smaller than that of theopening 18, and in which theloop portion 36 of themember 30 is inserted with a clearance. In practice, thepins 46, which extend between theguard member 48 and thehook clamping member 30, have the function of guide means for guiding translation of theplate 40 in thelongitudinal seat 50. - Conveniently, the
plate 48 has a pair ofopposite side ribs 54 slidably engaging respectivecorresponding grooves 56 formed on the sides of thelongitudinal seat 50, in order to promote longitudinal sliding of theslab 48 in theseat 50, and for keeping theplate 48 slightly spaced both from the above portion of theplate 16 and with respect to the half-shells - In the case in which translation of the
plate 48 is so extended that a portion thereof, in the rearward position of themember 30, projects beyond the rear wall of thebody 10, from the side opposite to therod 20, thehead plate 16 may have anappendage 16a extending beyond the rear wall of thebody 10, in order to protect theguard member 48. - Moreover, both the
openings circular undercuttings 18a and 52a at their corners. - In operation of the
device 10, themember 30 can assume a clamping position, as shown infigures 1 to 4 , for clamping a workpiece interposed between the forward end of theportion 36 of themember 30 and theplate 16. In this position, theloop portion 36 is arranged mainly above theplate 16. - As a result of the down movement of the rod 20 (with reference to the figures), the
pin 22 drags down the connectingrod 24 causing thecrank 32 to rotate and themember 30 to oscillate angularly by means of thepin 26, as well as the end of thepin 38 to slide, together with therelevant bearings 40, in thearched grooves 42. In this manner, theloop portion 36 re-enters within thebody 10, passing from the configuration shown infigure 5 , until it reaches the configuration shown infigures 6 to 9 , in which theportion 36 is practically all arranged within thebody 10, so that it does not hinder the movement of a workpiece to be clamped above theplate 16. - During the movement of the
member 30 between its forward clamping position of a workpiece and its back position of rest, and viceversa, sliding of theplate 48, in particular of itsnarrow opening 52 with respect to thewide opening 18 of theplate 16, allows the opening 18 to be kept substantially close, so that entering of foreign bodies in thecavity 14 of thebody 10 is effectively avoided.
