Description

l "SHEARS UNlT"
2 * * * * *
3 This invention concerns a shears unit -that cooperates with 4 a bending assembly for sections in bending-shaping machines.
The invention is applied correctly to machlnes that bend 6 sections and ls employed advantageously, but not only, ln 7 machines that bend and shape bars for building work.
8 The invention is also employed in all those cases where 9 sections are to be bent by a bending pin (or its equivalent) which can rotate clockwise and anticlockwise 11 about an axis by a required angular value, which amounts to 12 a maximum of 270 and is positioned astride the axis of feed 13 of the section.
14 By sections are meant here solid or hollow sections, including those produced by rolling, drawing, extrusion or 16 forming.
17 The invention concerns a shears unit located immediately 18 upstream of a bending assembly that serves to bend sections 19 according to a required geometric configuration, which may include bends with a clockwise and anticlockwise 21 development.
22 Bending-shaping machines entail the problem of the 23 bending of the section during bending-shaping operations 24 between two stationary contact points consisting of the contrast roll and the blade of the shears. The farther these 26 two statinary contact points are apart, the more evident is 27 the bending.
28 Where the sections have a small diameter, this bending 29 reaches a considerable value, which lessens the accuracy of bending of the bending aseembly.
31 To obviate this drawback and to be able to bring the 32 shears close to the contrast roll, shears are employed which 33 shear in a direction at a right angle to the work platform.

- 2 - 2~33~

~ llowever, this ~ype of shearinc3 is dangerous beca~se it 2 throws the shaped product thus obtained, even along a 3 considerable distance, in front oE -the bending-shaping 9 machine.
Very long contrast rolls and bending pins have also been 6 provided so that the bending assembLy can be posi.tioned well 7 below the work platform, but if this :is done, an operating 8 restriction is caused by the bending induced in -the contrast 9 roll, so that too small shaped diameter cannot be produced.
Moreover, the opening which is present in the work 11 platform and within which the bending assembly is located, 12 becomes the cause of obstruction, jamming and interference 13 with the section being shaped, etc., which slow down the 14 output.
Bending assemblies have also been employed which use, 16 instead of a bending disk, a bending arm that bears the 17 bending pin at its end, but this embodiment leaves 18 momentarily vacant spaces which interfere with the section 19 and create jamming, blockages, etc. that slow down and hold up the work.
21 The present applicant has found that the best conditions 22 for using a bending assembly in bending-shaping machines are 23 achieved with a bending assembly that includes a disk 24 holding a bending pin.
He has also found that this bending-shaping assembly 26 should be of a type capable of clockwise and anticlockwise 27 rotation, with which it is possible to exchange the 28 reciprocal positions of the contrast roll and the section or 29 sections.
To obviate the above shortcomings and obtain a shears 31 located as close as possible to the contrast roll, with this 32 closeness conditioned only by an angle of rotation of the 33 bending pin up to 270 (135+135) on a disk-type bending .3;~c~

1 assembly and with the abllity to exchange the rec:iprocal 2 positions o the contrast roll and the section, the present 3 applicant has designed, tested and embodied this invention.
4 The shears unit upstream of a disk-t~pe bending assembly providing the exchange oE the reciprocal positions of the 6 con-trast roll and the section in a bending-shaping machine 7 is described and charac-terized in the main claim, while the 8 dependent claims disclose variants of -the idea of the 9 solution.
According to the invention the shears operates by shearing 11 laterally and the support of the sta-tionary blade is 12 located astride and above part of the bending disk.
13 This blade support comprises continuous frontal and 14 lateral bevels suitable to enable che section to slide while being shaped. The upper surface of the bending disk is 16 slightly enclosed in the work platform and is located at a 17 minimum distance from the base of the stationary blade 18 support.
19 A bevel for the sliding of the section is provided between the work platform and the surface of the bending disk.
21 A slide block for lateral exchange of the reciprocal 22 positions of the contrast roll and the section, where a 23 slide block is provided for -this exchange, slides alongside 24 the front edge of the stationary blade support.
The attached figures, which are given as a non-26 restrictive example, show the following:
27 Fig. 1 gives a perspective from above of an embodiment of 28 the invention;
29 Fig. 2 shows a three-dimensional view of the embodiment of Fig.1;

1 the section or sections to be shaped.
2 The description deals with the case oE the bending-shapillg 3 of one section 11, bu-t a plurality of sections lL can a.l.so 4 be processed at one and the same time in a known manner.
Fi~.1 shows a bending assembly 13 downstream of a shears 6 unit 12, the combination of the two l.2--13 constituting a 7 shears-bending assembly 10.
8 The shears uni-t 12 comprises a support 33 for a stationary 9 blade 34 with a central through passage 25, where a stationary blade 3~ is located and secured.
11 The blade support 33 comprises frontally a :Eron~al bevel 12 23 and, laterally, lateral bevels 24.
13 The blade support 33 includes at its rear an anchorage and 14 continuous protection seating 37, which becomes positioned in a lowered position 38 in relation to the upper edge of 16 the blade support 33.
17 The blade support 33 comprises lateral supports 42 and is 18 clamped on rear stationary supports 43, which are secured to 19 a work platform 14.
When included in a slidable version, a movable support 15 21 located slightly (40) lower than the work platform 14 on 22 which the blade support 33 is rested at 42 cooperates with 23 the front edge 22 of the blade support 33.
24 A bending disk 19 is placed lower by a determined value 39 than the work platform 14; this determined value 39 is 26 established by the height of a support 16 of a bending pin 27 18 and by the position of contact at the point of maximum 28 rotation ~about 135 clockwise and anticlockwise).
29 The pin support 16 is located and fixed on the bending disk 19 by means of adjustment blocks 17.
31 As we said above, the determined value 39 is established 32 by the height of contact of the pin support 16 when the 33 latter is in the position most distant from the axis of ~01~L33~

1 rotation of the bending disk 19 and when the bendincJ p:Ln :I.8 2 is at about 13S clockwise or anticlockwise in re~.ation to 3 -the axis of the section 11.
4 A circumferential bevel 21 for the sliding of the section 11 is included between the upper surface of the bending disk 6 19 and the upper surface of the movable support 15.
7 The bending disk 19 lies partly below the blade support 33 8 and therefore rotates and can move laterally therebelow to 9 exchange the reciprocal positions of the contrast roll 20 and the section 11.
11 The blade support 33 comprises the lateral supports 42 12 spaced apart by the value of the overall bulk of -the bending 13 disk 19 in the two lateral extreme positions of exchange.
14 A blade holder 30 is included with the upper part of the blade support 33 and in correlation with the stationary 16 blade 34 and is firm].y secured to a guide pipe 29 and can 17 oscillate on a rear oscillation pivot 28.
18 The blade holder 30 may hold frontally a movable blade 26, 19 wnich cooperates with a passage 27 through which the section 11 passes.
21 The blade holder 30 is supported and positioned on the 22 slide block 32 by means of a transmission pin 41.
23 The slide block 32 can slide in guides 31 and is actuated 24 by a cylinder/piston actuator 36, which is anchored to the slide block 32 and thrust against a fixed point 35.
26 Shearing is carried out by lateral displacement of the 27 blade holder 30 towards the stationary blade 34.
