Abstract
Abstract An angular adjustment mount for a workpiece extractor includes a support plate adapted for mounting upon the reciprocal carriage of a shuttle unit. The support plate mounts a pair of spaced depending hanger plates which pivotally mount there between a hanger mount for angular adjustment. Transverse longitudinal bore through the hanger mount adjacent its lower end is adapted to supportably receive a hanger rod of a workpiece gripping jaw support. The means for effecting the angular adjustment for a hanger mount with respect to the hanger plates, includes a rack pinion on the angular mount and a transversely adjustable rack gear upon said hanger plates to mesh with said opinion. Means are provided for adjusting the rack gear relative to said pinion; and further means are included for securing the rack in such adjusted position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
An angular adjustment mount for a workpiece extractor comprising a body assembly including a support plate adapted for mounting upon the reciprocal carriage of a shuttle unit, and a pair of spaced hanger plates secured thereto and depending therefrom; a tube spanning and extending through corresponding opposed apertures in said hanger plates and secured thereto; a hanger mount having a transverse bore mounted over and receiving said tube, pivotally mounted thereon and interposed between and depending from said hanger plates; there being a longitudinal bore through said hanger mount at one ene adapted to supportably receive and mount the hanger rod of a workpiece gripping jaw support; there being an angular slit portion through said hanger mount extending to its bore to facilitate assembly of said hanger rod therethrough; fasteners extending through the Slit portion of said hanger mount threadedly engaging said hanger mount for drawing up the slit portion to secure said hanger rod thereto; a rack pinion segment on said hanger mount concentric to its pivotal mounting; an adjusting rack guidably mounted upon said hanger plates in mesh with said pinion; means to adjust said rack relative to said pinion segment for effecting angular adjustment of said hanger mount; and means for securing said rack in adjusted position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
210 words
An angular adjustment mount for a workpiece extractor comprising a body assembly including a support plate adapted for mounting upon the reciprocal carriage of a shuttle unit, and a pair of spaced hanger plates secured thereto and depending therefrom; a tube spanning and extending through corresponding opposed apertures in said hanger plates and secured thereto; a hanger mount having a transverse bore mounted over and receiving said tube, pivotally mounted thereon and interposed between and depending from said hanger plates; there being a longitudinal bore through said hanger mount at one ene adapted to supportably receive and mount the hanger rod of a workpiece gripping jaw support; there being an angular slit portion through said hanger mount extending to its bore to facilitate assembly of said hanger rod therethrough; fasteners extending through the Slit portion of said hanger mount threadedly engaging said hanger mount for drawing up the slit portion to secure said hanger rod thereto; a rack pinion segment on said hanger mount concentric to its pivotal mounting; an adjusting rack guidably mounted upon said hanger plates in mesh with said pinion; means to adjust said rack relative to said pinion segment for effecting angular adjustment of said hanger mount; and means for securing said rack in adjusted position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
117 words
In the adjustment mount of claim 1, said hanger mount being adjustable in a first plane; a center pin on and projecting from said support plate adapted for nesting within an aperture in said shuttle carriage; there being a pair of opposed arcuate slots through said support plate on opposite sides of and concentric with said center pin; and fasteners projected through said slots and transversely adjustable therein, adapted for securing to said carriage, whereby said support plate is angularly adjustable with respect to said carriage, the angular adjustment of said hanger mount being in the range of 0* to 45* on both sides of center, in a second plane at right angles to said first plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
70 words
In the adjustment mount of claim 1, the mounting of said adjusting rack including a pair of apertured plates mounted on opposide sides of an transversely spanning said hanger plates and secured thereto; a rack adjusting screw journaled through said plates and threaded through said adjusting rack; the means to adjust said rack including rotative adjustment of said screw; and an adjustment screw nut on said screw and secured thereto.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
118 words
In the adjustment mount of claim 1, the means for securing said rack in adjusted position including an apertured rack lock plug extending through and inwardly of one of said hanger plates transversly of and bearing against one side of said rack; an oppositely directed interiorly threaded rack lock plug adjustably mounted on the other hanger plate adapted to operatively engage the other side of said rack; guide means on said other hanger plate engaging and limiting the later lock plug to longitudinal movements; and a rack lock screw extending through an engaging the first lock plug and threaded into the second lock plug for drawing up the later plug into frictional retaining engagement with said rack gear.
