COLLAR TRIMMING AND PRESSING APPARATUS

摘要

A collar-pressing die assembly mounting system and operating control mechanism. The die assembly mounting system includes the operating parts of a pressing die assembly not determined by the shape of the collar to be pressed so that each new die assembly for a differently shaped collar requires only the shaped pressing parts corresponding to the collar shape. Quick-locking indexing clamps and pressing shoes pivot mounts are provided for rapid interchange of pressing dies, and quickly detachable parts of the pressing drive system permit mounting of conventional complete pressing die assemblies. The control system employs two pedals to respectively perform collar trimming and collar pressing by automatically acting power mechanisms which are actuated by the pedals.
