US Patent:

40195643, Apr 26, 1977

Filed:

Nov 5, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/628992

Inventors:

Victor O. Anderson - Gardena CA

International Classification:

B22D 1722

US Classification:

164271

Abstract:

A casting support for use in automatic cast trim machines having improved casting retention characteristics and being suitable for use in machines having a simple rail for the return of spiders to the melting pot. This support is characterized by a projection supporting an enlarged end about which the casting is formed, with suitable regions adjacent the projection to provide positive locking of the extensions of the casting around the projection to prevent separation of the casting in that area and the resulting loosening thereof upon the rotation of the index mechanism in the cast trim machine. Shrinking of the casting during cooling in combination with the locking of the casting provides positive orientation of the casting on the support, yet ready removal thereof by a simple punch.

International Classification:

B22D 1720

US Classification:

164262

Abstract:

An automatic casting machine for automatically die casting and die trimming of zinc, aluminum, magnesium, lead or injection molding of parts and delivering the finished parts die trimmed free of flash and separated from the runners, gates and overflows into a finished parts receiver. The machine can be fabricated as a modification of a conventional die casting or injection molding machine, primarily by the addition of a centrally located indexing finger which becomes fastened to the sprew or bung upon casting or molding of the parts. On each opening and closing cycle of the mold the rotating indexing device rotates ninety degrees thereby rotating the spider from the casting or molding location to a series of additional stations which may include the sensing and cooling station to cool the casting, a punch and trim die station to deburr the casting and punch the finished part from the spider, and a spider ejection station, which in the case of a die casting machine may be disposed so as to automatically result in the return of the spiders to the pot.
