Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for the mass compensation at a machine driven by means of a crank drive including a crankshaft, especially a punch press or stamping machine, comprising at least one compensation weight which is connected with a piston or cross-head and the crank drive in order to realize a mass compensation both of the oscillating masses and of the rotating masses. A double-lever is hingedly connected by means of its one end with the compensation weight in order to realize mass compensation of the rotating masses and is hingedly connected by means of its other end with the crank drive via a first guide or link. The one end of the double-lever is directly connected at the compensation weight, and an intermediate bearing means of the double-lever is hingedly connected via a second guide or link, directed towards the side of the crank shaft, with the machine housing or a component fixedly connected therewith.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A machine comprising: a machine housing; a crank drive mounted within the machine housing and including a crankshaft; a member connected drivingly to the crank drive so as to be reciprocated thereby along an axis defined by the machine; adjustment means whereby the position along said axis of the mean position of said member during reciprocation thereof may be adjusted; at least one compensation mass; and rod means connecting said compensation mass with said member, with said adjustment means and with said crank drive, said rod means including lever means connecting said compensation mass with said member, whereby reciprocation of said member is accompanied by reciprocation of said compensation mass, and the rod means further including a first rod, a second rod, and an elongate double lever having one end hinged directly to said compensation mass, having its other end hingedly connected to said crank drive through said first rod, and being connected at a position intermediate its ends to said machine housing through said second rod, said second rod extending away from said double lever in a direction towards said crankshaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
A machine comprising: a machine housing; a crank drive mounted within the machine housing and including a crankshaft; a member connected drivingly to the crank drive so as to be reciprocated thereby along an axis defined by the machine; adjustment means whereby the position along said axis of the mean position of said member during reciprocation thereof may be adjusted; at least one compensation mass; and rod means connecting said compensation mass with said member, with said adjustment means and with said crank drive, said rod means including lever means connecting said compensation mass with said member, whereby reciprocation of said member is accompanied by reciprocation of said compensation mass, and the rod means further including a first rod, a second rod, and an elongate double lever having one end hinged directly to said compensation mass, having its other end hingedly connected to said crank drive through said first rod, and being connected at a position intermediate its ends to said machine housing through said second rod, said second rod extending away from said double lever in a direction towards said crankshaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the crank drive includes a connecting rod and said first rod has one end connected to said double lever and its other end connected to said connecting rod.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first rod has one end connected with the crankshaft and its other end connected with said double lever.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
57 words
A machine as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a transverse support fixedly connected to said machine housing to provide reinforcement therefor and extending in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of said crankshaft, said second rod having one end hingedly connected to said transverse support and its other end hingedly connected to said double lever.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A machine as claimed in claim 4, wherein said transverse support accommodates a locking mechanism for fixing a component of the crank drive against rotation thereby to facilitate adjustment of the stroke of the crank drive.
