Abstract
An apparatus for inserting one or more insert members comprises the steps of holding sleeve-like insert members onto insert holders, transferring the insert holders between metal molds which are apart, pivotably moving the insert holders so that the axes thereof are aligned with the axes of parts, onto which the insert members are to be fitted, in one of the metal molds, pressing out the insert members from the insert holders and fitting them onto the parts, onto which the insert members are to be fitted. This method allows the number of the insert holders to be reduced to half, thereby achieving a reduction in weight and a saving in space.
Claims12
An apparatus for inserting one or more insert members having an insert head comprising:
- insert holders for holding sleeve-like insert members;
- a mechanism for holding said insert holders for transferring movement in the direction of inserting said insert members and for pivotable movement about a shaft intersecting perpendicular to the direction of said transferring movement;
- and
- a mechanism for pressing out said insert members from said insert holders in the direction of inserting said insert members;
- and
- a positioning mechanism which supports said insert head for transferring movement in at least the two and more axial directions intersecting perpendicularly to each other and which positions said insert head between said metal molds which are apart, wherein said insert head comprises:
- a first support member connected to said positioning mechanism;
- a second support member pivotably mounted on said first support member;
- a third support member which is mounted on said second support member for sliding movement in the direction of inserting said insert members and which holds said insert holders;
- a fourth support member which is mounted on said second support member for sliding movement in the direction of inserting said insert members and which partially engages said insert members held on said insert holders;
- a swinging mechanism secured to said first support member and for driving said second support member in pivotable movement;
- a sliding means secured to said second support member and for sliding said third member;
- and
- a drive means secured to said second support member and for driving said fourth support member.
An apparatus for inserting one or more insert members having an insert head comprising:
- insert holders for holding sleeve-like insert members;
- a mechanism for holding said insert holders for transferring movement in the direction of inserting said insert members and for pivotable movement about a shaft intersecting perpendicular to the direction of said transferring movement;
- and
- a mechanism for pressing out said insert members from said insert holders in the direction of inserting said insert members;
- and
- a positioning mechanism which supports said insert head for transferring movement in at least the two and more axial directions intersecting perpendicularly to each other and which positions said insert head between said metal molds which are apart, wherein each of said insert holders are of such a length that it can be loaded with a plurality of said insert members in the direction of inserting said insert members.
An apparatus for inserting one or more insert members having an insert head comprising:
- insert holders for holding sleeve-like insert members;
- a mechanism for holding said insert holders for transferring movement in the direction of inserting said insert members and for pivotable movement about a shaft intersecting perpendicular to the direction of said transferring movement;
- and
- a mechanism for pressing out said insert members from said insert holders in the direction of inserting said insert members;
- and
- a positioning mechanism which supports said insert head for transferring movement in at least the two and more axial directions intersecting perpendicularly to each other and which positions said insert head between said metal molds which are apart, wherein a plurality of said insert holders are parallel arranged in the direction of intersecting perpendicular to the direction of inserting said insert members.
