The apparatus embodies a double action automatic press including parallel vertical side frames rigidly united with each other and with a tripod supported base. A pair of massive vertical guide posts fixed at upper and lower ends to inner faces of said frames, vertically guide upper and lower tooling mounting platens, each platen being connected by four adjustable links to arms on one of two pair of rocker shafts, one such pair being above the upper platen, the other pair being below the lower platen. Outside one side frame, short arms are fixed on the upper pair of rocker shafts and double armed bell cranks are fixed on the lower pair of rocker shafts, each of the bell cranks having a long arm and a short arm. A pair of long links connect upper and lower outside short arms and a third link connects said long arms. A pitman connects one of said long bell crank arms to a crank arm fixed on one end of a transversely journaled crank shaft at the forward end of the press. A base mounted constant speed motor is connected through a variable speed transmission and an electro-air controlled clutch brake mechanism to a reduction gear box which is interposed in a gap in said crank shaft and directly drives the latter. Each revolution of the drive shaft accomplishes one production cycle of the press. A separate control device determines at what point in the production each cycle ends to provide a cooling ''''dwell'''' between cycles so that the trim step takes place at the beginning of each cycle, thereby improving the product. A cyclic web feeder and heater is provided on and driven by the press. The tooling employed in the press leaves the product lightly connected with the scrap of the web following each trimming step by several oppositely disposed transfer tabs which may readily be broken by a punching operation when the product arrives at a stacking station. The press embodies and automatically drives a product punch for accomplishing this function. A product stack conveyor receives products thus punched from the web and automatically discharges product stacks of predetermined quantity. A scrap chopper disposes of the scrap left in the web. The press also includes separate means manually operable while the press is running to vary the time period of the cooling dwell and also to vary the distance, short of reaching the point of maximum proximity between the platens, at which each operating cycle concludes.,下面是Apparatus for matched-mold thermo-forming专利的具体信息内容。

1. An automatic press for employing matched molding-trimming tooling in thermo-forming thermo-plastic material, said press comprising: a pair of platens mounted in parallel spaced relation and constituting mounts for a pair of matched tooling elements; means for automatically transmitting a series of consecutively cyclic reciprocative relative movements to said platens, between the points of maximum separation and maximum proximity of said platens; automatic means for halting each reciprocating movement just short of the point of maximum proximity of said platens being reached, automatic means for resuming said reciprocating after a delay to produce a cooling time period dwell while a product unit is being molded in said press, thereby facilitating a trim step, when said movement resumes, in which the spacing between said platens is further decreased to the point of maximum proximity, said reciprocation when resumed continuing without interruption into the next reciprocation, where it halts at the cooling time period dwell thereof in the same manner as said first mentioned reciprocation; and means manually operable while said press is running to adjust said automatic platen movement halting means to precisely and selectively determine at what distance apart said platens will be halted by said means.
2. A press as recited in claim 1, in which said dwell length modifying means is operable manually while said press is running, to precisely increase or decrease the time period of said dwell.
