Press joining profiled components - has punches on racks driven by common pinion

摘要

The press has two punches or knives joining the ends of first second and profiled components together using a connector with arms including an angle and which are inserted in the components. Each punch fixes a profiled component to an inserted arm and is fixed to a rack (11,12). The racks mesh with opposite teeth (13) of a common driven pinion (14,15). The drive mechanism can comprise a lever (16) with spindle (18) at one end to which the pinion is fixed.
