Field of the Invention The field of invention pertains to safety guards of the type used in fabricating apparatus such as power presses which contain tool and die mechanisms.
2. Description of the Prior Art The prior art is replete with safety guards which are used to confine the safety of a power press within which tool and die elements are positioned. Such arrangements are shown in US. Pat. Nos. 1,256,641, 2,714,926 and 3,293,941 which are familiarly known as fence type guards. These may be screens, perforated metal, or vertical adjustable parallel rods, and are of course all employed to limit or prevent operator access to the working space of the power press which can be very dangerous due to the closure of the press ram and plate tool holder relative to the die plate and platen in an inadvertent manner. Such guards create a safety hazard of their own. Some if improperly adjusted create unsafe conditions and fence type guards must of necessity be placed a distance from the working space creating problems for the operator which generally prompts him to remove the guard. Such guards also have little flexibility and must be rebuilt or newly constructed for different jobs. They are cumbersome and expensive and for this reason are generally removed by the operator in violation of the safety rules of his employer.
Other types of guards having these problems are disclosed in US. Pat. Nos. 2,089,938, 2,141,027,
SUMMARY- It is the prime objective of this invention to provide an improved safety guard for enclosing the tool and die area in a power press to discourage and prevent access by the operator during operation.
The present'invention is inexpensive, simple in construction and installation and is foolproof since it completely prevents an operator from reaching into the die space of a power press during the operation. It comprises a block of resilient material placed between the tool and die plates which define the working space. The block contains apertures interiorly thereof which provide for clearance of the tool and die function and yet the space is completely closed. During closure of the tool and die plates the block merely bulges and is com pressed, returning to its normal shape after each stroke of the press.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a power press including the improved safety guard of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of a ram and plate and platen assembly of a power press disclosing a safety guard enclosing the space within which a punch and die arrangement is provided;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view through the assembly disclosed in FIG. 2;
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to FIG. 1, a power press 10 includes a base 11 which is normally supported on or below a concrete floor. The base 11 carries a base plate or platen 12. An upper slide structure 13 is supported by the base and includes a ram structure 14 which is reciprocated vertically by a suitable actuating mechanism including a fly wheel, gearing, etc. (not shown). A top plate 15 is suitably secured to the ram structure 14, and a tool holder block or plate 16 is suitably secured to the top plate 15.
A cut-off punch (tool) 17 is connected to and pro jects downwardly from the tool holder 16. Similarly perforating punches 18, 19, 20 are connected to the holder 16. A die member 21 is connected to the platen 12 and includes bores 22, 23, 24 and 25, which communicate with scrap discharge openings 26 provided in the platen 12. Clamp members 27 of conventional construction secure the die member 21 to the platen 12. The bores 22 through 25 are provided at their upper 'ends with cutting edges which are conventionally engaged and mated with the tools or punches 17 through 20 to perforate or operate on a work piece.
A safety guard is generally designated at 28 and comprises a block or cube 29 of a material such as foam rubber, neoprene, urethane, vinyl, polyethelene, silicon, or suitable other materials having the quality of resiliency. The material is not limited to any one type and any material having strength to return to its original shape and which forms a block containing walls enclosing the space can be used. It is of course required that it return to its original shape after compression, and it is preferred thatait is of an absorbent characteristic. v i
The block 29 includes a front wall 30, rear wall 31, side walls 32, a top wall 33, and bottom walls 34.
The die plate or member 21 also includes a conventional stripper plate 36 belowwhich strip stock orwork' 37 is supported as it moves through the space provided by the plates 12, 15 and 16. The block 29 includes a passage 38 which emerges in side walls 32 for the passage of the strip stock 37.
The block 29 is also provided with recesses 39 to accommodate the clamps 27. The block 29 is further provided with apertures 40, 41, 42 and 43 within which the punches or tool members 17, 1 8, 19 and 20 are positioned.
In the modification of the block 29 disclosed in FIG. 6, walls'45, 46, 47 and 48 are positioned in rectangular relationship and are interconnected by suitable doublesided pressure-sensitive adhesive strips 49. In this case the aperture 50 accommodates the tool and die parts andsuitable apertures may be made in the wallsto provide for the stock strip.
A conventional oil reservoir is mounted on the plate 15 and directs lubricant through a plastic tube 52 into the block. The tube 52 may lie in a bore 53 and may have a plurality of discharge ports 54 which spray lubricant against the tools and throughout the absorbent block.
THE OPERATION The present invention provides for the greatest simplicity of operation and installation. The block 29 is readily formed from conventional material sizes to the size desired for the particular opening. Or, it may be constructed from narrower strips of material as shown in FIG. 6. In the manner of use shown the block 29 extends from the plate 12 upwardly against the tool holder 16 and thus vertical dimension of the space and dimension of the vertical dimension of the block are equal.
However, the block could also be high and wide enough to cover the tool holder 16 if desired. The die space to be enclosed is determined from the nature and construction of the arrangement in order to receive maximum safety enclosure and yet secure an efficient arrangement for operation. In most arrangements the apertures for the tools, such as in perforators, may be cut by placing the block in position and lowering the ram, the perforators thereby cutting out their own clearance apertures. The openings for stock clearance, etc. can be cut prior to this operation, but thereafter the guard is in position and the unit is ready for conventional operation. As the ram descends the tools move through openings in the stripper plate, cut through the stock, enter the bores which have sharp cutting edges at their upper ends, and the scrap is discharged through the holes 26, as the ram again moves upwardly. As shown in FIG. 4, the block is compressed and bulges outwardly as the ram descends and this clearly would force an operators hands outwardly would he desire to insert his hands which is unlikely in view of the complete barrier created by the block. The block always returns to its original shape and position.
The advantages of this invention further lie in the complete safety barrier which is provided. The noise of the punching operation is greatly diminished since the foam rubber block retains the noise in an accoustic sense. Special mounting, necessary in the prior art units, is not required. The lubrication is expedited and yet is retained in the block thus causing less danger due to lubrication drippings on the floor. The foam material absorbs lubricant from the oiler on the up stroke of the ram and releases it on the down stroke internally thus avoiding the mess provided by spray and-brush type of lubricants.
Thus it is believed that the objective of the invention has been fully achieved by the arrangement fully disclosed hereinabove.
