Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for positioning and welding binding hoops around a cylindrical element, or cylinder, of revolution, around determined circumferences of the cylinder. The device comprises a cylinder support, a drive member adapted to drive the cylinder in rotation about its axis of revolution, an applying member adapted to apply a half-hoop radially on the cylinder, a magazine or half-hoops adapted to supply the applying member, and a fixed welding station.
Claims5
A device for positioning and welding circular binding hoops around a cylindrical element, or cylinder, of revolution, around determined circumferences of the cylinder, said device comprising:
- a cylinder support, a drive member adapted to rotate the cylinder about its axis of revolution, an applying member adapted to apply a half-hoop radially on the cylinder, a magazine of half-hoops adapted to supply the applying member, a fixed welding station the cylinder support comprising a mobile carriage movable horizontally on a track, said carriage being provided with a central cradle adapted to support the cylinder with its axis of revolution disposed horizontally and parallel to the track and with an end cradle allowing the cylinder to rotate freely and movable between a low position where the cylinder rests on the central cradle and a high position where the cylinder may be rotated by the drive member, without contact with the central cradle.
A device for positioning and welding circular binding hoops around a cylindrical element, or cylinder, of revolution around determined circumferences of the cylinder, said device comprising:
- a cylinder support, a drive member adapted to rotate the cylinder about its axis of revolution, an applying member adapted to apply a half-hoop radially on the cylinder, a magazine of half-hoops adapted to supply the applying member, a fixed welding station, the applying member comprising a plurality of pressure rollers distributed regularly around a circumference of which the axis determines the position of the axis of revolution of the cylinder, each pressure roller being adjustable radially in position as a function of the circumference of the cylinder and being movable radially in the direction of the cylinder or in opposite direction.
A device for positioning and welding circular binding hoops around a cylindrical element, or cylinder, of revolution, around determined circumferences of the cylinder, said device comprising, a cylinder support, a drive member adapted to rotate the cylinder about its axis of revolution, an applying member adapted to apply a half-hoop radially on the cylinder, a magazine of half-hoops adapted to supply the applying member, a fixed welding station, the magazine supporting the half-hoops in vertical planes parallel to one another and perpendicular to the track and is actuated by a movement of translation parallel to the track to bring each half-hoop successively between the cylinder and certain of the pressure rollers, after the latter have been radially moved away from the cylinder.
