Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a strap tube or strap guide mount device. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a quick release mount for a strap tube or strap guide.
  • a quick release strap tube mount securely holds the strap tube while in use and allows for easy installation and removal of the strap tube when desired. More desirably, installation and removal of the strap tube is carried out without the need for tools and disassembly of the mount.
  • a quick release strap tube mount is used to mount an associated strap tube to an equipment item, such as a strapping machine, strapping head, strap dispenser or the like.
  • the strap tube has a notch formed therein and provides a channel for conveyance of strapping material between equipment items.
  • the mount is a quick release device that securely holds the strap tube while in use and allows for easy installation and removal of the strap tube when desired.
  • installation and removal of the strap tube is carried out without the need for tools and disassembly of the mount.
  • the mount includes a housing that defines a strap tube channel. At least one and preferably two locking arms are pivotally mounted to and disposed within the housing outside of the strap tube channel. A locking hub is associated with each arm. The locking hubs are operably connected to their respective locking arms and extend into the strap tube channel. The locking hubs engage the strap tube at the notches. The locking arms and hubs are pivotable relative to the housing between a latched position and a release position.
  • a biasing element such as a spring is coupled to each locking arm and the housing to bias the locking arm into the latched position.
  • a release member is operably connected to the locking arm to move the locking arm and hub from the latched position to the release position.
  • the housing can include a latch carriage and a latch body such that the strap tube channel is defined by and between the latch carriage and the latch body.
  • the strap tube channel can be defined by walls in the carriage and/or body having a chamfer to direct the strap tube into the channel.
  • a dowel pin in the housing anchors the spring to the housing.
  • a release tab is disposed on each locking arm to pivot the locking arm from the latched position to the release position
  • a release lever has a cam operably mounted thereto. By rotating the lever, the cam contacts the locking arms to pivot the locking arms from the latched position to the release position.
  • Each hub is a cylindrical element extending rearwardly from its arm and can be mounted to the arm by a pin for rotation about the pin relative to the arm or to remain rigid relative to the arm.
  • FIGS. IA, IB, and 1C are perspective views of one embodiment of the quick release strap tube mount invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the mount of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 A, 3B, 3 C, and 3D are front, side, rear, and perspective views, respectively, of an alternate embodiment of the mount, illustrating insertion of the strap tube into the mount;
  • FIG. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D are views similar to those of 3 A-D showing insertion of the strap tube into the mount;
  • FIG. 5 A, 5B, 5C, 5D are views similar to those of 3 A-D illustrating the strap tube being secured in the mount.
  • FIGS. 6 A, 6B, 6C, 6D are views similar to those of 3 A-D showing the strap tube being removed from the mount.
  • IC there is shown one embodiment of a quick release strap tube mount embodying the principles of the present invention.
  • the mount allows the strap tube to be rigidly mounted, but quickly and easily installed on and removed from the mount. It will be appreciated that the mount is affixed to equipment components (not shown), such as strapping machines, strapping machine heads, strap dispensers and the like, to permit mounting the strap tube between such equipment components.
  • Strap tube S is inserted in the mount 10 through an opening or channel 36 in the housing 11.
  • the housing 11 includes a latch body 12, a latch carriage 14, and a front cover 28.
  • the channel 36 is formed from the coupling of the latch body 12 with the latch carriage 14.
  • the walls the define the channel 36 can be chamfered, as at 37, to permit easy insertion of the strap tube S into the channel.
  • the mount is shown with and without the front cover 28 attached in FIGS. IB and 1C.
  • Lever 34 is mounted for rotation in the housing 11, mounted to the carriage 14 and extending through the cover 28.
  • a cam 17 having opposing lobes 19 (one shown) is mounted to the lever 34 for rotation with the lever.
  • the cam 17 rotates and contacts the locking arms 20 to urge the arms outward.
  • the arms 20 pivot about pins 16 that mount the arms 20 to the housing 11.
  • Locking hubs 18 are mounted to the locking arms 20 with fasteners 22 such as cap screws.
  • the locking hubs 18 extend rearwardly of the arms 20, through notches 15 in the carriage 14 and into the tube channel 36. As such, the arms 20 lie outside of the channel 36 whereas the hubs 18, when in the latched position, lie in recesses 15 that extend into the channel 36 (see FIG. IB and FIG. 2 and 6C).
  • the hubs 18 are cylindrical elements and are mounted to the arms 20 by fasteners that can rigidly mount the hubs 18 to the arms 20 or can mount the hubs 18 to allow the hubs 18 to rotate (e.g., spin) about the screws 22.
  • Biasing elements such as the illustrated extension springs 26 bias the locking arms 20 toward the closed or latched position, as shown in FIG. IB.
  • a dowel pin 24 resting in cavity 27 serves to anchor the extension springs 26 in the latch carriage 14.
  • Hook-like fingers 29 on the arms 20 provide a location to which the springs 26 are mounted to the arms 20 to bias the arms 20.
  • a front cover 28 retains the components in the latch carriage 14 while lock washers 30 and socket head cap screws 32 secure the front cover 28 and the latch carriage 14 to the latch body 12.
  • FIGS. 2-6D In this embodiment 110, rather using a cam-action (that is, rather than using the lever 34 and cam 17 shown in FIG. 1C) to move the arms and hubs outward, the arms 120 each include a manual actuator or finger tab 121, to facilitate pivoting the arms 120 (and hubs 118) outward. Accordingly, the central lever and cam are not needed.
  • FIGS. 3A-D, 4A-D, 5A-D, and 6A-D Operation of the quick release strap tube mount is illustrated for the embodiment 110 in FIGS. 3A-D, 4A-D, 5A-D, and 6A-D.
  • the strap tube S is inserted into the quick release mount 110, into the tube channel 36 between the body 12 and carriage 14. As the tube S is inserted, it contacts the locking hubs 118. The insertion force acts upon the locking hubs 118 to urge the arms 120 and locking hubs 118 outwardly by rotation about the dowel pins 16.
  • the locking hubs 118 engage the notches N in the strap tube S.
  • the springs 26 urge the arms 120 (and hubs 118) inward, which in turn pull the hubs 118 into the notches 15 of the carriage and the strap tube notches N as the notches N and hubs 118 align (see FIG. 6C).
  • finger actuated tabs 121, and a lever 34 and cam 17 arrangement are disclosed, other configurations can be used to pivot the locking arms 20, 120 and the hubs 18, 118, directly or indirectly, from engagement with the strap tube S and that such other configurations are within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un support de tube de cercleuse à libération rapide, pour monter un tube de cercleuse sur un élément d'équipement. Le tube de cercleuse a une encoche formée dans celui-ci et fournit un canal pour un transport de matériau de cerclage. Le support comprend un boîtier définissant un canal de tube de cercleuse. Au moins un bras de verrouillage est monté sur et disposé à l'intérieur du boîtier. Le bras de verrouillage est disposé à l'extérieur du canal de tube de cercleuse. Un moyeu de verrouillage est relié de façon opérationnelle au bras de verrouillage et s'étend à l'intérieur du canal de tube de cercleuse. Le moyeu de verrouillage engage le tube de cercleuse sur l'encoche. Le moyeu et le bras de verrouillage peuvent pivoter par rapport au boîtier entre une position bloquée et une position de libération. Un élément de sollicitation est couplé au bras de verrouillage et au boîtier pour solliciter le bras de verrouillage dans la position bloquée et un élément de libération est relié de façon opérationnelle au bras de verrouillage pour déplacer le bras de verrouillage et le moyeu de la position bloquée à la position de libération pour libérer le tube de cercleuse.
