NOV..23, L, JOHNSON TUBE FORMING DEVICE Filed May 31, 1945 INVENTOR HERBERT L. JOHNSON AT TOR NE-Y Patented Nov. 23, 1948 OFFICE TUBE FORMING DEVICE Herbert L. Johnson, Pe abody, Mass. Application May 31, 1945, Serial No. 596,938
a 1 Claim. (Cl. 153-61) (Granted under the act of March 3, 1883, as amended April 20, 1928; 370 0. G. 757) This invention relates to devices for forming tubes and is illustrated herein as embodied in a device for forming metal tubes of small diameter from fiat sheet material.
Metal tubes of small diameter are often required in a metal working shop. However, it is uneconomical to keep a large supply of all sizes always on hand. Moreover, certain sizes and shapes of tubes often cannot be secured in the markets. Therefore, it is desirable to have readily available a small, inexpensive machine for making tubes of small diameter from flat sheet material.
Sheet metal pipes or tubes are commonly rolled into circular form from fiat stock by passing the stock through a machine having three rolls, the upper roll being arranged to bend the stock into a groove between the lower rolls. The work is removed from a machine of this type by separating its edges sufliciently to allow'the upper roll of the machine to pass between them as the work is lifted off the machine. As the diameter of small tubes or pipes made in this type of machine approaches the diameter of theupper roll, the tube cannot be removed from the machine in the manner described above without being distorted. Therefore, the ordinary type of three roll machine is not suitable for producin tubes of small diameter.
In View of the foregoing, it is a principal object of this invention to provide an inexpensive device for quickly and simply forming tubes of small diameters.
To this end, the invention contemplates the provision of a rigid roll of as small a diameter as that of the required tube in combination with an elastic roll in which a piece of sheet material disposed between the rolls is embedded as a result of the rolls being pressed together. Accordingly, the reaction of the elastic roll on being deformed by the pressure of the rigid roll, bends the sheet material progressively into conformity to the rigid roll as the rolls are rotated.
A further object of the invention is to make provision for the removal of finished work from a machine of this type without distorting it. This object is attained in the illustrated device by mounting the rigid roll, about which the tube is formed, in bearings from which the roll can be Withdrawn axially. Thus, as the roll is removed from the device, the tube is slid axially off the roll without distorting its cross sectional shape in the least.
In order to enable the device to produce tubes of many diameters, the invention, provides in accordance with another feature thereof, means for varying the penetration of the rigid roll into the elastic roll whereby the extent to which the sheet material is made to conform to the rigid roll is controlled.
With the above and other objects and features in view, the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention and will be pointed out in the claim.
Fig; 1 is a side elevational view of a tube forming device constructed in accordance with this invention showing a completed tube in place on the rigid roll and showing the rolls in released position.
Fig. 2 is an end elevational view, partly cut away and in section, of the device illustrated in Fig. 1, showing the rolls in position for forming a tube, the section being taken along the line 11-11 of Fig. 1. y
, Fig. 3 isa partial and elevational view of the 'device illustrated in Fig. 1, partly broken away.
Fig. 4. is a sectional view, the section being taken along the line IVIV of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a tube formed by the device.
As illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the device includes a base I to which a pair of supports 3 and S are attached. The supports carry two rolls 1 and 9 which arerotatably mounted one above the other, parallel to each other, and to I the base I.
The upper roll 1 is made of suitable rigid material and acts as a form around which tubes are pressed. The lower roll 9 acts to press flat sheet material around the upper roll and is constructed with an elastic outer covering l0 (Figs. 2 and 4). When the rolls are forced together the rigid roll 1 becomes embedded in the elastic covering which thereby is deformed to follow the contour of the rigid roll 1, as shown at I l in Fig. 2.
When a tube is to be made in the device, the rolls 1 and 9 are forced together by a mechanism associated with supports 3 and 5, which will be described in detail below. A piece of flat sheet material l2 (Fig. 2) is fed between the rolls, and the rolls are revolved by turning a handle l3 (Fig. 1) attached to the rigid roll I. The elastic roll 9 forces the sheet against the rigid roll I to bend the sheet into conformity to the contour of the roll. 3 When the tube It has been rolled to a cylindrical shape, the pressureon the rolls is released, the rigid roll 1 is removed from between the supports 3 and 5, and the tube [4 is slipped off the small end of the rigid roll 1. At this stage around which is fitted the outer covering H] or:
rubber or other suitable elastic material. The core i8 serves to support the elastic covering and prevent the roll 9 from springing and spreading in its central portion when the rigid roll "I' is forced into the elastic covering 10 of the roll 9.
The rigid roll I is made of steel or iron: or other suitable rigid material. The outer surface ofthe rigid roll is machined to the shape'desired'for the finished tube and serves as a form about which the tubes are pressed.
The supports 3 and are similar in co'r'istruc tion. Therefore, only the right-hand support 5 will be described in detail.
Two uprights 22 and 24 (Fig. 2) form, with a cross piece 26, a framework for the support 5. The uprights 22 and 2 5 are grooved-on their inner surfaces slidably to receive bearings 28 and 3B and a stop 32 and are held together at their upper ends by the cross piece 26. The lower ends of the uprights are fixed to the base i.
The bearings 28 and 30 and the stop 32 are mounted between the uprights, and the bearing 30 and the stop 32 slide in the grooves in the inner surfaces of theuprights. The bearing 28 is stationary, and a circular opening 33' (Figs. 3 and 4) in the upper part thereof receives and supports the elastic roll 9. The elastic covering ll] of the roll I is cut away to expose the core 13 where it comes into contact with the bearing 28, andthe endsof the rigid core l8 form journals which ride in the bearing 28, as shownin Fig. 4, and in a similar bearing associated with the lefthand support 3.
The roll 9 can rotate but does not move vertically. The form roll 5, on the other hand, can be moved up and down in the supports and also can be withdrawn axially from the device. The lower portion of the movable bearing 30 is cut away to form a semi-circular surface 34 (Fig. 3) which fits around the rigid roll'l. The surface 34 is cut away to a semi-circular shape in order that the rigid roll 1 can quickly and easily be removed from or inserted in the bearing 30 when being removed from or placed in the device.
Downward pressure is exerted on the roll I through the bearing 38' by the action of a cam 35. The upper surface of the cam bears on the stop 32 and the lower surface on the bearing 30. A strap 36 (Fig. 4) runs between the uprights 22 and 24 and carries the cam 35. A handle 38 is attached to the cam, and the cam is turned with the aid of this handle. When the handle is turned up, the rolls are free as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 and the rigid rollil can be removed from the device. Whenthe handle is turned down, the cam operates to force the rolls together as shown in Fig. 2 embedding the rigid roll I in the elastic roll 9.
1 The amount of penetration of therig'id roll into the elastic roll can .be adjusted by means of a set screw 39 (Fig. 3), which is threaded into the crosspiece, 25. By turning the set screw 39-the stop 32 can be lowered or allowed to' rise, whereby any desired amount of pressure between the rolls. can be obtained.
, roli's are in released position and when pressed together. i
The upper roll from the device.
7 is readily removable axially When the cam operating handies 38 are raised and pressure on the rolls is of the handle I3.
released, the roll 1 can be removed with the aid Moreover, the left-hand end of the roll? has a taper 46 (Fig. 1) which guides the roll into the bearing 30 when it is being replaced in the machine.
When the device is to be operated, the rigid roll i" is placed in the machine and the handles 38 are pushed down to force the roll i into the elastic cover lb of the roll 9 as shown at H in Fig. 2. The penetration of the rigid roll into the elastic roll is adjusted with the set screw 39. A piece of flat sheet material l2, from which a tube is to be formed, is introduced between the rolls. Then the handle it is turned, and a feed moveinent is imparted to the sheet forcing the-sheet to be embedded in the elastic covering and bent into conformity to the rigid roll.
When a tube is desired which closely conforms sizeto the rigid roll, the set screw 39 is tightened to force the stop 32 downward, thus increasing the penetration of the rigid roll into the elastic roll, and, as the rolls are rotated, the sheet is bent to conform closely to the outer contour of the rigid roll 3 forming a tube of cross section onlyslightly greater'than that of the rigid roll I. On the other hand, if a tube of greater cross section is desired, the set screw 39 is loosened, thus lessening the pressurebetween the rolls, and a tube is formed of 'cross'section somewhat greater than that of the rigid roll 7.
H When a tube has been rolled into shape, the handles 38 are raised to release the pressure between the' rolls. The upper roll is moved axially to the right in Fig. l, and the tube then engages righthand bearing block 30 which causes the tube to slide on the tapered end of the roll and the tube is ready to' be finished. At this point, the tube is in the form shown in Fig. 5 andhas a seam H5. The seam can be sealed in any appropriate manner to complete the tube,
This invention has been illustrated with reference to the manufacture of tubes having a circular cross section. However, it can be adapted readily to produce tubes of diiierent cross sections by employing form rollers of different shapes, for example, form rolls of oval, elliptical, or other cross section.
The invention described herein may be manufac'tured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for government purposesiwithout the payment of any royalty thereon or therefor.
