SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 354,731, dated December 21, 1886.
Application filed August 16, 1886.' Serial No. 210,964. (No model.)
.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, LE GRAND M. NORTON, EDWIN NORTON, and JOHN G. HODGSON, citizens of the United States, residing in Chicago,
in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Soldering-Machines, of which the following is a specification. Y
'Our invention relates to improvements in y 1o machines for automatically soldering the joints or seams of square, rectangular, or other cans having flat or irregular sides. The object of our invention is to provide an automatic machine of a simple and durable I 5 construction which will operate to roll a square, polygonal, or irregular shaped can in van inclined position through a bath of molten solder, so that each seam or corner of the can may be several times repeatedly immersed in 2o the molten solder, and thus insure the perfect soldering of the can. By continuously rolling the can through the solder bath no part of it is long subjected to the heat and action of the molten solder; and in this way a square can 2 5 may be soldered on the same principle and with the same degree of perfection as a round can may be by rolling its corner or end seam through a similar bath, as described in the Patent No. 274,362, to Edwin Norton,of March 3o 20, 1883.
To this end our invention consists, in connection witha bath of molten solder and a flux bath, of a can-carrier provided with a series of rotatable can-holders and a track upon 3 5 which said can -holders roll as the carrier moves forward,said track servingto roll the can so that its end seams roll in the molten solder.
, It also consists in mountingthe can-holder on pivots, so that after one end has been soldered 4o the can may be turned with its soldered end down while the solder is setting or cooling. We. find that in soldering cans by rolling or otherwise immersing them in molten solder, by providing means for immediately turning the soldered seam or end ofthe can down ward after the can leaves the. bath, and by keeping it in this position while cooling, so
that the solder on the joints will have no tendency to run off, the joints will be soldered 5o much more uniformly and perfectly.
Our invention also consists, in connection with an endless carrier and pivoted or swinging can-holders mounted thereon, of a second. or duplicate solder bath, so that by turning the swinging can-holder end for end on its pivot the opposite end of the can may be soldered. As the can rolls forward along the gages of the solder bath, the can not being circular and turning on its corners, itis obvious that the center or axis of the can will not 6o move in a straight line, but in a series of short curves or an undulating or wavy line, depending on V'the outward contour or shape of the can; and the invention also consists, in connection with the solder bath and the carrier, v of averticallyreciprocating or sliding revolving can-holder and a cam or guide track for moving said canholder up and down as it revolves and is carried forward 0n its carrier," so that its center or axis will move in the path 7o which the rolling movement of the can causes said axis to describe.
It also consists in a vertically-reciprocating and revolving can-holder composed of a pivoted or swinging ring having a second revolv-` ing can-holder ring mounted to revolve within the former.
It also consists, inconnection with said piv`- otal and revolving rings, of vertical guideways or slots in the carrier, in which said pivotal ring 8O is mounted, so that the can-holder may reciprocate up and down.
The. invention also consists in the novel devices and novel combinations of devices herein shown and described, and more particularly pointed out inthe claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specication, and in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, we have shown one form and that whichwe be- 9o lieve to be the best form of machine now known to us for practicing it.
In said drawings, Figure l is a side eleva tion of. the machine.` Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-section 9 5 on line 3 3 of` Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is -an enlarged detail elevation of one ofthe links of the carrier. Fig. 5 is a section on line 5 5 of Fig. 4. Figs. 6. and 7 are enlarged detailelevations, showing the cam-track upon which thecan- Ico holder rides, and also the track for turning the holderl and upon which the can-holder rolls. Fig. 8 shows a slight modification.
In said drawings, Arepresents the frame of the machine, which may be of any suitable conlstruction; B, the can-carrier or traveling device upon which the can-holders are mounted, and by which the cans, or the corners thereof, are conveyed along the flux-ing-bath C, the bath of molten solder D, and the cooling device E. n
The carrier B is preferably a link-chain car- 'rier, and is mounted upon suitable wheels, B
B', journaled in the frame at each end, and it travels in suitable guideways or tracks, a a, on the frame. The links B are provided with friction-rollers lor pins b b, which travel in the guide-grooves a a. The guideways a a serve to keep the carrier in position and stead y it, so that the cans will be presented in proper relation to the acid and solder baths.
F is a swiveling or pivotal ring, having pivot-pinsff, which lit in slotsffin the vertical sides of the link-B, so that this ring may have an up-and-down reciprocating movement in these slots. Y
G is aring mounted in the ring F, and which carries the can.` This ring G is provided with a socket, g, for the can, conforming in shape thereto. The socket mayr consist of angleplates to fit against the side corners of the can, as indicated in the drawings.
To enable the ring G to revolve easily in the ring F, it is provided with friction-rollers g', which are j ournaled upon stud-pinsg2, screwed or otherwise fixed into the end facesof the ring G. The ring `F is furnished with annular shoulders f2 for the friction-rollers g to fit in and roll upon. The friction-rollers g', thus secured to the ring G, serve also to keep said ring in place within the ring F, as the sides or ends of the friction-rollers fit against the shoulders f2. The can X in the socket g may thus at the same time have a revolving. motion on its own axis by means of the revolution of the ring G in the ring F, Ya turningor revolving 'motion endwise by means of the swiveling or turning of the ring F on its pivots in the link B, and also a bodily up-anddown movement by means of the up-and-down reciprocation of the ring F in the slots f of the link B.
-H is a track provided with notches or re cesses h h at intervals, corresponding to the side faces or corners of the can, adapted to receive and engage corresponding pins or projections h h on the revolving can-holder ring G, and whereby the can is given a rolling or revolving motion as it iscarried forward ,byV
nished with a friction-roller, k. v
The solder bath DA is provided with a gage tand flux.
or track, D', for the ends or head of the can to -rest against, and also a gage or track, D, for the side or corner of the can to rest against.
which engages the projection or arm k on the l ring F, and serves to turn the can into a vertical position,`as indicated in Fig. 3, so that the end of the can which has just been soldered will be down while cooling andthe soldered seam stand in a horizontal position.- This cam extends around the end of the machine, and serves to hold the can in this position while it travels around the end of the machine and while it receives the jets'of air from the cooling pipes or nozzles E. The cam M is but a continuation or elevated portion of the cam K. The can X is placed in the machine in its holder at the space or point marked As it is carried along by the carrier B it is rolled in an inclined position through the' flux bath C and the solder bath D, the corner 1.
or seam of the can as it rolls projecting into the molten flux and solder.l As the carrier moves forward, the pins or proj ectionsh' on the can-holder ring Gengage the notches or recesses h in the track H, thus causing the canholder ring G to roll on said track. At the same time the arms or projections k, fitting in the cam K, serve to give the can-holder a gradual up-,anddown movement corresponding to that which'the center or axis of the can has, due to the revolution or turning of the can on its corners. The can in `this -way is given the same movement as though it were rolled by hand on its corners along the straight dat gages D Dz of the solder bath. The cam K is arranged in a plane in relation to the pins f. so as to carry the can in an inclined position through the solder and fiuxing baths, and thusproperly project the corner of the can into saidbaths. The slots f in the sides of the links B have this same inclination, so that as the can-holder ring G is moved bodily up and down by the cam-track K, the can will be kept parallel with itself and always be presented at the same angle to the soldering andV fiuxing baths.
' The flux and solder in the flux and solder vessels C D. are heated Y by gas-jets or other suitable heaters, L L, and the joint to be soldered is heated by contact with the hot solder If preferred, however, the can may be heated by suitable flame-jets or other heaters arranged in the path of the can as it is carried along by the carrier B, before it reaches the solder bath. After `the can leaves the solder bath the arnfk on the ring F engages the curved, inclined, or elevated portion M of the cam-track and swings the ring F into a horizontal position, (as indicated in Fig. 3, on the left-hand side thereof,) and while held in this position by the cam the recently-soldered joint is carried over the 4cooling jets or pipes E, by or through which cold air or other cooling fluid is projected against the joint, which is thereby rapidly' cooled. The cooling-jets should be located around the end of the machine. When the can reaches the position marked w it is turned end for end, an attendant revolving the ring F half around on its pivots f. As the can thus turned is carried forward its other end is uxed, soldered, and cooled in the same manner by the duplicate devices on the opposite side of the machine. When the can again reaches the position marked a: on the drawings,'an attendant removes the soldered can and replaces it by another.
rlhe carrier B may be furnished with any desired number of revolving,endfor-end-swiveling, and vertically reciprocating can-holders, and the solder and iiuxing baths may be made of any desired length.l We prefer, however, that the flux bath should belong enough to permit the cans to make about two complete revolutions in rolling throughit, and that the solder bath should be long enough to permit three or four complete revolutions ofthe cans.
By your present invention cans of almost any irregular shape may be automatically soldered. The cam-track K, which. raises andlowers the can bodily as it moves forward, will be so curved or shaped as to cause the center or axis of the can to describe the line as it moves forward, due to the rolling motion of the can corner or seam on the gages of the solder bath. The ring F is furnished with two guide-arms, 7c lc, one on each side of a central vertical line, so that both` pivots f f of the ring F will be raised and lowered equally by the cam K. The ring F also has a second pair of guide-arms, k k, on its opposite side to ride in the cam Kon the opposite side of the machine when the can and its holder are turned end for end on the pivots ff for the purpose of soldering the other end ofthe can. Y
rlhe canfsocket g in the can-holder ring G should fit the can snugly, and so that the friction of the can in the socket will hold it in position and still permit the can to be readily slipped in and out. nished vwith springs or yielding cushions of rubber or cloth to bear against the side faces of the can. The socket g may also be constructed to tit the can somewhat loosely, in which case, however, some guide or support will be required to sustain the can after it leaves the solder bath, when it is swung into a vertical position. While rolling through the acid and solder baths the gages on such baths would support the can and keep it from Slipping out of its socket.
The socket may be fur- In Fig. 8 we have shown'a modification of the camtrack K, in which it is made in two parts, onev adapted to bear against the lower pairzof guide-arms k k and the other against the upper pair, instead of a grooved cam, as shown' in Figs. 6 and 7. Theoperatlon of the cam, however, is the same in both cases.
We are aware that heretofore machines have been made for soldering square or rectangular cans, wherein first one corner or end'seam of the can is carried in ahorizontal path or slid through a-solder bath, and then the can turned a'quarter of a revolution and another corner slid through a second bath, and so on, and that also machines have been made in which first one corner of the can has been dipped in a solder bath and then another, the can being turned a quarter of a revolution while it is raised out ofthe bath. We make no claim to any such machines.
We are also aware of and make no claim to the device shown and described in the patent to4 Graves, N o. 242,631,0f June 7, 1-88l,wherein asquare can is revolved as it is carried through or with its end seam projecting-in a bath of solder by means of a revolving canholder mounted in a pivotal carrier, and having a round or-circular periphery, which engages a stationary straight track or wire cable, and wherein the pivotal holder is provided with an arm engaging a stationary sinuous cam, by means of which the carrier is tilted at different inclinations, so as to raise the lower end of the can somewhat when its corner isturning into the bath, or wherein, in lieu of such tilting of the carrier, the can-holder is provided with a yielding spring-socket, which moves up and down in the holder as the corner of the can turns down into the solder, stationarystraight guiderails being provided for the'corners of the can to strike against as it turns down, and thus cause the socket to yield' against the springs.
IOO
Inour invention the can rolls throughk the bath, and thus moves forward at each complete revolution a distance equal to its periphery or to the sum of its four or more sides. In said -Graves device the revolving can is carried forward at each complete revolution a distance equal to the circumference of its holder, which itself rolls on a stationary straight track or wire cable, and though the can revolves as it is carried forward through the-bath it does not have or describe a rolling motion along its surface.
In our invention, while the can is given a true rolling motion by means of the revolving up-anddown bodily-reciprocating can-holder and its projections or pins'and the stationary at the same depth at its corners and sides. In said Graves device the revolving can-holder has no up-anddown bodily -reciprocating movement, and it either has a pivotal movement which changes its inclination to the solder bath or it is provided with a springsocket, so that the can itself, by striking against a guide-rail, may raise itselfup and down against the spring of said socket, which striking of the can against the guardrail not only tends to injure it, but also by the jarring to disturb the unset solder on the seams.
In our invention the revolving can-holder is provided with faces, projections, or pins h', correlative to the shape of the can, or one for each of its corners,which engage a corresponding cam or track, on which the revolving part of said holder rolls, andthe revolving part of the holder is mounted inside an np-and-downV bodily-reciprocating outer, part which rides upon a sinuous track or cam.
In our invention the can is rolled continuously through the solder bath, the' can being-'bodily raised as its corner turns down into the bath, so that the seam projects a like or nearly like distance into the bath of solder at all times as it rolls through it; and this feature of our invention (the bodily raising of y tended and adapted for soldering square cans, I
the revolving square can as the corners turn down into the solder, so that the seam projects no deeper into the solder when the corner` is immersed than when the straight edge of the can is immersed) is independent of the forward bodily movement of the can on the carrier B, and might be practiced or embodied in a machine having vno carrier, or wherein the canholder is stationary so far as any longitudinak movement is concerned, as also obviously might that feature of our invention relating to turning the can into a vertical position while the canV is cooling and thesolder becoming set.
The machine shown in the drawings is inor cans whose horizontal section is square. As all the four sides of such 'a can are equal, the
recurring curves of the cam-track K are ofcourse all alike and equal to each other. If, however, the can were of a rectangular or other shape, and its sides unequal or of different form from each other, vt-he recurring curves of the can would correspond to the shape of the can and be different from each other. The cam-track K operates in a measure on the principle of a former used in machines'for turning irregular bodies, as gun-stocks, lasts, &c.
Vhile the edges and corners of the can are guided and in a measure rest upon the gages D D2 of thesolder bath, it should, however, be understood that littleif anyweight of the can is supported by these gages or guides, and
that no part of the weight of the can-holder ring G or ring F comes upon the can, or rests upon these gagesor guides. rIhe cam-track K, the track II, and the track a a, which guides the links B, in fact support the whole weight, so that the can is subjected to no strain, jars,
be lobserved that in soldering pyramidal-v shaped cans, or cans larger at one end than the other, -in such case the tracks on opposite sides of the machine will not be alike, or of the same size in respect to the length and height of the curves on the cam-track, or the distancebetween the notches on the notched track; and in soldering. pyramidal cans having rounded corners and unequal sides-fsuch as ,cans now commonly used for putting np canned beef or pressed corn-beef and other meats-the shape of the curves in the camtrack will be varied by the rounded corners of the can, and also by its unequalsides. Whatever the shape of the can to be rolled on its corner along the gagesof the solder bath, the cam-track will be so shaped or curved in correspbndence therewith as to raise and lower the center or axis of the can as it rolls, and is carried forward by the carrier in just the manner that said axis is raised or lowered when the can is being actually rolled upon a level plane. l
