Definitions
- the invention concerns automatic lathes and like machines.
- automatic lathes the bar to be processed must repeated ⁇ ly be first held and then released by a collet inside a chuck through which said bar is made to pass.
- the jaws of the collet are formed of a cylindrical body the inside surface of which is cylindrical and the outer one conical .
- By means of longitudinal cuts the faces of said cylindri- cal body are divided into strips whose positions correspond to those of the various jaws.
- the collet closes by a centripetal movement of said jaws pressed by thrusting means.
- This centripetal motion is produced by bending the strips of the cylindrical supporting body contact between jaws and bar is confined to a limited area of said bar. Additional pressure by the jaws against the bar could gra ⁇ dually increase the area of contact between bar and jaws if the latter's supporting strips were fully elastic, but too much elasticity would be unlikely to ensure jaws of adequate rigidity.
- the supporting strips could be more elastic if the jaws were made in blocks separate from the cylindrical support ⁇ ing body and of a material different from that of said body and subsequently fixed to it.
- Subject of the invention is a collet for chucks on auto- matic lathes having jaws that make a translating movement.
- Said collet comprises three coaxial cylindrical cup-like structures, called 'cups' for simplicity, fitted one in ⁇ side the other, whose upper ends act on the collet, and a reaction provoking ring, with a cylindrical outer surface, that encircles the top of the jaws and the top of the outermost cup .
- the jaws have a front zone and a rear zone, both external ⁇ ly conical, whose diameter decreases towards the back of the. collet.
- the upper internal part of the reaction ring matches with the upper external part of the jaws against a surface of equal taper but tapering in the opposite direction.
- the upper edge of the first cup has an internal taper that allows it to match with the lower external part of the jaws, and an external taper, in the opposite direction to that of the inner one, which matches with the lower internal conical part of the reaction ring.
- the structures of the three cups virtually consist of a collar and of longitudinal elastic tongues.
- the upper ends of the second cup, inside the first one, and of the third cup inside the second, are arranged respective ⁇ ly in positions corresponding to the front and back zones of the jaws and fit into seats made for them behind the conical faces of said jaws. Therefore, during the closing phase of the collet, movement of the first cup towards the jaws, making frontal contact with the head of the chuck, causes simultaneous movement, due to the effect of the conical surfaces of the edge of said cup opposite respectively to the conical surface of the reaction ring and to the conical surface of the jaws, of the rear zone of the jaws towards the axis of the collet and of the reaction ring towards the front of the collet.
- the effect produced by the opposing con ⁇ ical surfaces of the ring and of the front of the jaws is to move this latter part towards the axis of the collet.
- Movement of the jaws towards the inside of the collet causes bending of the tongues of the second and third cups.
- withdrawal of the first cup leaves the reaction ring free to withdraw as well. Consequently the elastic tongues of the second and third cups are free to resume their original positions thus mov- ing both the front and the rear parts of the jaws away from the axis of the collet.
- the second cup consists of a cylindrical collar whose dia ⁇ meter is slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the cylindrical body formed by the first cup, from which collar depart a number of longitudinal tongues, equal in number to the tongues of the first cup, placed at equal distances and of a width slightly less than that of the spaces between the tongues on the first cup.
- each jaw In its rear conical area each jaw has a central longitudi ⁇ nal channel which extends from the lower edge of said jaw to a niche formed behind the jaw's front conical area.
- the position of an internal face of said niche corresponds to the bottom of the channel, there being an opposite face, farther out, parallel to the first and behind the conical surface at a distance from the first face slightly greater than the thickness of the ends of the tongues of the se- cond cup to allow said tongues' ends to enter the niche. Therefore when, during the collet's opening phase, said tongues return to their original position, their action against the external face of the niche causes the front of the jaws to move away from the collet's axis.
- the third cup inside the second one, is formed of a cylin ⁇ drical collar also carrying longitudinal tongues.
- the external diameter of the third cup, measured at the ends of the tongues, is such as will create sufficient space, between said tongues and those of the second cup, to permit entry of the fin-shaped rear end of the jaws.
- the jaws are connected by an elastic ring fitted inside a specially made transversal annular groove in said jaws.
- a section of this ring, opposite the spaces between one jaw and another, may be smaller than that of the groove so that, when the collet is closed, said section may form an undulation inside said groove to an extent correspond ⁇ ing to the reduction in the groove's length.
- Such elasticity in the reaction ring can be advantageous- ly produced by a series of alternating transversal cuts on the front and back edges of the ring, which cuts extend nearly to the opposite side so as to create a kind of fretted edge which, by its very nature, assists elastic alteration of the form along its axis.
- the advantages of the invention are evident.
- the effect of the reaction provoking ring, during the closing phase of the collet, is to create a double in ⁇ clined plane system that acts practically on the ends of the front and back of the jaws which become pressed against the bar to be firmly held, parallel to themselves until they adhere completely to said bar.

- Fig. 2 Perspective of an exploded view of the collet.
- Fig.3 Longitudinal section in detail of the open collet.
- Fig.4 The same section showing the acting forces.
- Fig.5 As Fig. 3, during the closing phase.
- Fig.6 The same showing the acting forces.
- the chuck 10 has a cylindrical body 11 and head 15 connec ⁇ ted by threading 12 on each.
- the collet 20 comprises six substantially equal jaws 21 made from six coaxial cy1indrico-conical sectors, the reac ⁇ tion ring 40 and a first cup 50.
- the projecting front edge 28 of the jaws makes contact with the edge 18 of the hole 17 in the head 15 of the chuck 10. Between zones 24 and 25 there is an arched transversal groove 29.
- the external cylindrical surface 42 of the reaction ring 40 is intended to fit into the cylindrical seat 13 of the chuck. Inside said ring 40 is a conical face 44 at the front and a conical face 45 at the back,both inclined towards the out ⁇ side of the ring.
- the cylindrical cup 50 can slide freely within the chuck 10 and consists of a collar 51 at its base and of six longitu ⁇ dinal tongues 55 set at the same angular distance one from another forming a cylindrical body with equal intermediate rectangular spaces 56.
- said cup 50 has an external co ⁇ nical surface 52 whose taper practically corresponds to that of the face 45 of the ring 40 matching it, and an in ⁇ ternal conical surface 53 whose taper practically corres ⁇ ponds to that of the conical face 27 of the jaw 21 that matches with it .
- a second cup 60 consist- ing of a cylindrical collar 61 at the base from which de ⁇ part six longitudinal rectangular tongues 62 whose width is slightly less than that of the spaces 56 between the tongues 55 of the first cup 50.
- Said tongues 62 form a cylindrical body whose external diam- eter is greater than that of the collar 61 and substantially equal to the external diameter of the cylindrical body formed by the tongues 55 of the first cup 50.
- a longitudinal rectangular channel 30 virtually parallel to the axis of the internal cylindrical face 22, its width being greater than that of the tongues 62 on the second cup 60.
- the bottom 31 of said channel connects, with practically no interruption, with the internal face of a niche 32 with an outward face 34 parallel to the internal face.
- Said niche 32 lies behind the conical face 26 of the front zone 24 of the jaws.
- a recess 35 behind the conical face 27 forming the fins 36.
- the ends 63 of tongues 62 of the second cup 60 are narrower than the width of the niches 32 in the jaws. The length of said tongues is such that said ends 63, fitted into the channel 30, penetrate inside the niches 32.
- a third cup 70 consisting of a cylindrical collar 71 at its base which carries longitu- dinal tongues 72 forming a cylindrical body.
- the external diameter of said cylindrical body is smaller than the internal diameter of the cylindrical body of the second cup 60 and this creates a space between the tongues of the second and third cups sufficient to receive the fins 36 formed at the lower ends of the jaws.
- Fig. 1 shows the collet when idle and fully open.
- the bar to be processed is put in determinining by means of force A translation of the cup 50 towards the head 15 of the chuck 10 and then simultaneous action by the conical surfaces 52 and 53 respectively on the conical surface 55 of the ring 40 and on the conical surface 27 of the rear zone 25 of the jaws 21 as indicated in each case by the arrows B and C (Figs. 3 and 4).
- Force B creates a component Bl towards the face 13 of the chuck while force C creates a component Cl towards the bar.
- force B divides again into a second component D which moves the reaction ring 40 towards the front of the collet. This movement by the reaction ring 40 in turn determines action by the conical surface 44 against the upper conical surface 26 of the jaws, as shown by the arrow E.
- Jaw translation towards the collet's axis bends the tongues 62 of the -second cup 60 towards the collet's axis by means of face 34 of niche 32 in the jaws, and bends the tongues 72 of the third cup 70 by means of the fins 36 on said jaws.
