1,112,880. Welding by pressure. E.V.G. ENTWICKLUNGS - U. VERWERTUNGSG.m.b.H. 10 Nov., 1966 [22 March, 1966], No. 50491/66. Heading B3R. In a mesh welding machine in which lateral wires Q of the mesh are inserted through a guide 30 at right angles to the continuous longitudinal wires L of the mesh at a distance from the welding electrodes S, E<SP>1</SP>, E<SP>2</SP> the welded mesh is advanced and the unwelded lateral wires Q are fed from the guide 30 to the welding station by rails 1 reciprocated by a common driving mechanism connected to the front ends of the rails, the driving mechanism also causing the rails 1 during their rearward movement to move downwards to disengage from the lateral wire(s) Q<SP>1</SP> about to be welded and upwards to engage further unwelded lateral wires Q. The front ends 1a of the rails 1 are connected to a common beam 2, the spacing between the rails 1 being adjustable. The rails 1 are moved so that the front and rear ends respectively describe the paths A, B, C, D; A<SP>1</SP>, B<SP>1</SP>, C<SP>1</SP>, D<SP>1</SP> by the driving mechanism which comprises a bellcrank 9 the arms of which are connected by pairs of parallel links 5, 6; 10, 11 to the beam 2 and a lever 15 respectively. A cam 19a oscillates the lever 15 and a connecting rod 21 drives a two-armed lever 23 pivotally connected to the link 5. The levers 15 and 23 are pivoted to fixed points. Flaps 31 covering the slots of the guide 30 are moved in synchronism with the rails 1 to allow the notched portions 29 of the rails 1 to lift the lateral wires Q from the slots and to move them to a location between welding electrodes E1, E2 connected to opposite poles of a D.C. supply and an opposed bridging electrode S. Projections 28 on the rails 1 engage welded lateral wires Q1 to feed the mesh. The mechanism may be such as to provide an adjustable stroke and the locations of the electrodes guide and work-engaging parts of the rails may be adjustable to vary the spacing of the lateral wires. In a modification, the electrodes E1, E2, Fig. 3, and the guide 30 are not adjustable. The projections 28<SP>1</SP>, 29<SP>1</SP> for engaging the welded and unwelded lateral wires and the stroke of the rail may be adjusted. The rails 1 lift a wire from the guide 30 and a spring 34 holds the wire until the wire is engaged by projections 29<SP>1</SP>. In an alternative construction the spring 34<SP>1</SP> extends to a position adjacent the welding station. |
