Definitions

  • ABSTRACT 22 H d A drauzing machine is disclosed, adapted forassocia- 1 Dec 1970 tion w1th drawing boards of considerable dimensions. [21] Appl. No.: 102,673 The machine is characterized in that it comprises at least two guiding columns mounted on a base structure, the columns receiving therein reciprocable rods [30] Fm'gn Application Priomy having lateral tubular members secured to the ends Feb. 24, 1970 U.S.S.R.
  • the present invention relates to arrangements designed for mechanization of drawing and graphic works, and, more particularly, it relates to drawing machines.
  • a drawing machine constructed in accordance with the present invention, can be successfully used in association with a drawing mechanism of the coordinate type.
  • a drawing machine comprising a guiding column belonging to the base structure, this colunm receiving thereinside a reciprocable rod provided with rollers engaged in rolling contact with the internal wall of said column, this rod having a lateral tubular member attached to the end thereof, projecting from said column.
  • this lateral tubular member carry conical couplings provided with brackets for supporting thereon the drawing board.
  • the two couplings are interconnected by means of a resilient connecting member, this member being operatively connected through an elongated cable with a drum assembly mounted in the base structure, this drum assembly being adapted to counterbalance the rod, with the help of torsion springs mounted inside this drum.
  • One end of each such torsion spring is connected with the drum, while the opposite end of the torsion spring is connected with the shaft supporting this drum, this shaft being operatively connected by means of an arm mounted on the end portion of this shaft with a control pedal mounted on the base structure.
  • a flat elastic band making at least one loop about the drum, the band having the opposite ends thereof connected to the base structure and being adapted to efiect retaining of the abovementioned rod at a desired height of its projection from the column.
  • this known drawing machine can support drawing boards within a limited range of their lengths. Should the drawing board be of an excessive length, i.e., of a length above this limited range, the telescopic couple of the machine (the rod column couple) is subjected to excessive loads and starts displaying inadequate rigidity, whereas the machine, as a whole, becomes relatively unstable.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a drawing machine which should be capable of association with drawing boards of practically and size (particularly, of any length), and that, with employing all the major assemblies and component parts of a single basic model of such drawing machine.
  • rods With the rods being operatively connected in the above-described way, they can be easily reciprocated in their respective guiding columns, because each individual one of said rods is able to align itself in respect of its guiding column.
  • each one of said lateral tubular members prefferably have made therein cylindrical counterbores for receiving therein either the slidable sleeves with their washers, or else the coupling members of the conical couplings, each said coupling member being an externally cylindrical part with a conical internal bore.
  • said externally cylindrical parts prefferably be made of an elastic plastic material.
  • the threaded connections make it possible to adjust the tension of the resilient connecting member in the course of the assembling of the drawing machine.
  • rollers carried by each said reciprocable rod to be arranged so that two pairs of rollers should be mounted thereon for rotation about their respective axes rigidly secured to the rod at diagonal points along the length thereof, at one pair of the opposite sides of this rod, and that two more roller should be mounted, respectively, on a pair of spring-biased pivotable arms having the respective pivot axes thereof positioned on said rod at diagonal points along the length of said rod, at the other pair of the opposite sides thereof.
  • the slidable sleeves interconnecting the adjacent pairs of the lateral tubular members When the reciprocable rods are thus considerably spaced from each other, it is expedient for the slidable sleeves interconnecting the adjacent pairs of the lateral tubular members to have mounted thereon additional brackets for providing additional support for the drawing board.

  • the last-mentioned shafts are rigidly secured in the rod 3 and lie in an imaginary diagonal plane passing through the rod 3, at
  • the other pair of the opposite sides 8 of the rod 3 has mounted thereon shafts 9 pivotally supporting a pair of arms 10.
  • the respective internal ends of the arms 10 are interconnected by an extension spring 11, whereas the external ends of the arms 10 support each a roller 5 rotatable about an axis 15.
  • the upper extremities of the rods 3 have rigidly attached thereto the lateral tubular members 13 (FIGS. 4 and 5). These tubular members are connected to each otherby means of slidable sleeves 14. The provision of the sleeves 14 makes it possible for the rods 3 to be rotated within a limited extent relative to each other in two different planes.
  • the external, i.e. the free ends of the lateral tubular members 13 are associated with respective conical couplings 15.
  • Each of the two conical couplings 15 includes a pair of coupling members 16 and 17.
  • Each external coupling member 16 has mounted thereon brackets 18 supporting a drawing board 19.
  • each one of these members has a cylindrical counterbore 20 made therein at both ends thereof.
  • This counterbore 20 is adapted to receive either the slidable sleeve 14 with a washer 21, or a coupling member 17.
  • the coupling member 17 is an externally cylindrical insert with a conical bore adapted to receive thereinside the other conical coupling member 16.
  • the coupling members 17 are preferably made of an elastic plastic material, e. g. of capron.
  • the coupling members being made of a plastic material, their manufacture is simplified and the performance of the friction coupling members of each one of the couplings 15 is facilitated.
  • the coupling members 16 are interconnected by a resilient connecting member 22 passing through all the lateral tubular members 13 carried by the respective rods 3 and thus holding these tubular members 13 together by an effort directed along the axis of these tubular members.
  • Each coupling member 16 is connected with the respective end of the connecting member 22 by the respective threaded connection 24.
  • drum assemblies 25 (FIGS. 6 and 7) for counterbalancing the respective rods 3.
  • Each drum assembly 25 includes a sleeve 26 receiving thereinside holders 27 with torsion springs 28. Extending centrally of the sleeve 26 is a shaft 29 having its opposite ends journalled in antifriction bearings 30. Each torsion spring 28 has one end thereof connected with the shaft 29 by means of a slot 31 extending along the entire length of the shaft 29 and receiving thereinside the said bent end portion of the spring 28. The opposite end of each torsion spring 28 is connected with the respective holder 27 by means of flaps 32 bent upon the respective holder.
  • the holders 27 have made therein aligned slots 33 adapted to receive the respective ones of spokes 34 rigidly mounted internally of the sleeve 26.
  • Each shaft 29 has its journal 35 at one end thereof mounted in the respective bracket 36 secured to the base 1, whereas the opposite end of the shaft 29 is mounted in the respective one of arms 37.
  • the arms 37 are supported by a common axle 38 and are connected by means connecting rods 39 with a control foot pedal 40.
  • Each drum assembly 25 has wound thereabout a cable 41 of which one end is secured to the sleeve 26, while the other end thereof passes through the guiding column 2, then passes over a sheave 42 (FIG. 2) rotatably mounted on spindles 43 carried by the guiding column 2, and then over a sheave 44 rotatably mounted on a spindle 45 carried by the rod 3, and, finally, this opposite end of the cable is secured to the resilient connecting member 22.
  • each drum assembly 25 has wound thereabout a length of a flat elastic band 46 (FIG. 6) of which the opposite ends are secured to the base 1, the band 46 serving for retaining selectively the respective rod 3 at a desired height.
  • the band 46 is adapted to act as a brake member, i.e. to arrest the rotation of the respective drum 25.
  • extension springs 47 (FIG. 4) associated with the respective adjustment screws, whereby it becomes possible to adjust the wedging effort applied to the conical couplings 15.
  • the herein disclosed drawing machine can include three reciprocable board-supporting rods 3 mounted each on an individual base 49 (FIG. 8).
  • the elastic flat band 46 is wound about only that one of the drums 25 which is positioned downwardly of the central one of the rods 3 whereby it becomes possible to control raising and lowering of the drawing board 19 by means of a single foot pedal 40 positioned to ensure maximal convenience to a draftsman.
  • firmer mounting of the drawing board 19 can be efiected by means of additional brackets 50 (FIG. 9) carried by the respective slidable sleeves 13 positioned intermediate of the lateral tubular members 13.
  • the herein disclosed drawing machine is operable, as follows.
  • the combined weight of the reciprocable rods 3 and of the drawing board 19 acts through the respective cables 41 upon the drums 25 and tries to lift the latter, whereby the elastic bands 46 closely engage the respective drums 25 and arrest their rotation, and, consequently, the rods 3 do not move in their respective columns 2.
  • the force applied to the resilient connecting member 22 is equal to AP P P where:
  • P is the weight of the movable part of the machine (the drawing board, the rods, etc.);
  • P is the joint effort of the extended springs 47, which controls the degree of the sagging of the resilient connecting member 22 and the effort wedging the coupling members 16 of the couplings in the coupling mem bers 17, this engagement of the couplings 15 retaining the drawing board in a desired set angular position thereof.
  • Adjustment of the angular position of the drawing board 19 relative to the vertical plane is performed independently of the foot pedal 40.
  • an upwardly directed effort equal to A P (see above) is to be applied manually to the bottom edge of the drawing board, whereby the resilient connecting member 22 straightens (P P A P), and the wedging effort applied to the couplings 15 and maintaining their engagement is relieved.
