Application filed February 10,1921, Serial No. 443,740. RenewedNovemberfi, 1923.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DONALD J. CAMPBELL, a citizen of the United States of America,
residing at Muskegon Heights, in the'countyv of Muskegon and State of Michigan, havelnvented certain new and useful Improvements in Mold-Drawing Apparatusyand I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and usezthe.
same.
This invention relates to a mechanismadapted for use in levelling and drawing one.
part of a mold from a. box in which the mold is made. More specifically, with this invens tion, it is contemplated that after a mold has been formed in the box, said box is to be moved over the mechanism of my invention which. may be moved upwardly to engage against the under side, of the mold and which contains structure whereby the upper or table portion of the mechanismmay automatically conform to the under surface of the mold plate. Then said table is locked against movement and afterward lowered to.
alower plane, the mold which has been made, drawing from the box and disassociating therefrom so as to be removed for further use in the completed mold. It is a primary object and purpose of thepresent' invention to make a mechanism of this character with which molds may be quicklyand easily withdrawn from the boxes in which made, without injury to the mold. A further object of the invention is to construct the mechanism so that it can be-very expeditiously expenditure of energy, th samebeinghand operated and repeatedly so'that ease of operation is a very valuable feature; A still further object is to construct the mechanism simply and economically, and at the same time insure accuracy in operation and durai bility in service.- These and various other,
valuable features of the invention will appear as understanding thereof ishad from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying; drawings, in which,

In the construction .shown ,a: vertical, supporting post 1 isused, this beingone of the posts forming a part of a compressed air mold ramming. machine which is thesubi-' ject matter of anotherappl-icationfor ent Serial Number 443,739,1iledFeb; 10,

They post, at its lowerend has connection with .asuitable. base member 2 and on the post directly above said .basemembera .a sleeve 3 is mounted which maybe turned to different positions, as desired, and secured a in any position to which adjustedby a suit-1 able clamping means, illustrated ate; An

series of 'ratchet teeth 17 at .its outer :side is locatedin the-slot-in the housing, ,alongside'i of the-handle 10 in position; such that the;
end i is normally may be forced into engagement between two of the one side is formed with a series of rack teeth 19 which are in engagement with the teeth 9 on disk 8, it being evident that the post raised or lowered by proper opera tion of the disk '8. A vertical key 20 is fixed in the sleeve 6 and enters a vertical key way 21 in the post 18, serving'to keepthe post from rotation.
At its upper end, post 18 is enlarged and formed with a socket, as indicated at 22 for the reception of the lower portion of a ball 23, integral with which a short post 24 is formed which extends upwardly and to which at its upper end a table 25 is attached. A cap 26 is placed against the upper end of post 18 and over the ball 23, the post 24;
' passing upwardlythrough an opening in the said cap being formed upper side of the cap,
2 screws 28 connecting the same together.
The under side of the top of the cap is formed with an inclined cam surface 29 as best shown in Fig. 6.
A ring 31 is located under the cap and between it and the. ball 23. On its upper side it is formed with an inclined cam surface 32, the ends of which lie one above the other and are joined at a vertical shoulder as indicated at 32. The under side of the ring around the opening therein is formed with a recess 33 shaped to fit the upper portion of the ball. An operating handle 34: ex-
tends from the ring through a slot in a 7 side of cap 26, it being evident that by turning the ring through operation of thehandle, it may be clamped against the upper side of the ball 23, thereby locking the ball and attached table 25 against movement.
A sleeve 35 is rotatably mounted on the post 1 above sleeve 3 from which a supporting arm 36 projects, the same being divided at its outer portion to make a fork between the parts of which the mold box 37 is rotatably mounted, trunnions 38 on the box seating in properly formed socket bearings 39 atfthe ends of the forks. In filling the mold, a plate 10 of special design, the con- 7 struction of which forms the subject matter of a separate application for patent Serial Number 454,192, filed March 21, 1921; is clamped against the upper sideof the 'box 37, which is turned over from the position shown in Fig. 1, and the sand entered into the mold'box through said plate. After this operation is completed, the mold box is turned over to the position shown in Fig. 1, being'held therein by a movable locking pin 41, and then swung to position directly above the table 25, which is in its lower position. The clamping ring 31 has been struction conforms to the under side of the plate automatically, as is obvious. lVhen in firm contact with the plate 40, handle 3 1'is operated to clamp the ball 23 against movement, thereupon fixing the table 25 against movement. the box 37, handle 12 again grasped, the latch 13 drawn from the teeth 17, and the post 18 and table 25 lowered, drawing the mold carried on the plate from the box. Of course, with the type of mold shown, in which piston cores, such as indicated at 4-2 are formed from green sand, a specially constructed mold or core box is necessary, and one has to have certain operations performed therewith before the mold is free to be withdrawn, formed prior to lowering the table. This, however, is no part of the present invention, the special construction of the box being subject matter for a still further application for patent Serial Number 443,7 38, filed Feb. 10, 1921. After lowering the post 18 and attached table 25, the box 37 is swung out of the way and the plate 10 and mold carried thereby removed from the table, it being many times advisable to release the clamping means at t so as to swing the table to proper position so that the plate and mold may be taken direct from the table to a truck or gravity conveyor for transportation of the mold to any desired place in the foundry, so as to receive the cover or cope to complete'the mold, and then to'the pouring floor. It is evident that the mold shown in Fig. 1 for the production of pistons forms the drag of a completed mold, adapted to have a cope placed thereover. After removal of the plate 40 and mold thereon, the table is swung back to its original operative position, the clamping ring 31 released, and is thus ready for a repetitionof the operation for a succeeding mold.
The automati conforming of the table 25 to' the plate 40 coupled with the simple and 'eii'ective locking of the table against move- The operation of themechanism issimple,
which operations are per- The plate 40 is then released from yet sure and the mechanism is of such conthat it i's'durable and has little or no chance to get out of order. The appended claims define the invention and all forms of structure coming within their scope are to be considered as comprehended by the invention.
