To enable operations usually performed on shapers of the vertical type to be done on horizontal shapers, L. E. Rhodes, 51 Oak St., Hartford, Conn., has developed a vertical attachment that can be quickly applied to any of the standard types of crank shapers. This attachment is shown in the accompanying illustrations. The housing which contains the vertical ram and its necessary mechanical parts is made to fit in the ways occupied by the regular horizontal ram. This housing can be adjusted to the desired position with reference to the work, and held in that position by the regular gibs.
The installation of the attachment is a simple matter; practically all that is necessary is to remove the driving arm and attach two steel leg plates which remain on the machine permanently, screw in a connecting-rod, and insert a pin. This attachment is also provided with a rotary worktable equipped with standard index-plates. |
