Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an assembly machine having a frame, an upper plate vertically displaceable, a table, an annular transfer plate, a cam-shaft and a driving device for said cam-shaft. Said machine comprises working units of three kinds, the one fixed onto the upper plate and the others fixed onto the table either inside or outside of the transfer plate. All working units fixed to the upper plate and the ones fixed to the table inside the transfer plate are controlled by cams carried by the cam-shaft and corresponding mechanical linkages passing through a control opening provided in the table of the frame.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
An assembly machine comprising a stationary frame, a table fixed to the frame and having a central opening, a cam-shaft journaled for rotation in the frame below the table and extending diametrally across said opening, a horizontal annular plate mounted for rotation on and relative to said table and surrounding said opening, a plurality of vertical columns rigidly supported by the frame, a sliding plate slidably mounted on the columns for vertical movement relative to the frame, working units mounted on the sliding plate and on the table for assembling articles of manufacture thereon, a plurality of cams on the cam-shaft, mechanical linkages supported by said frame and extending between said cams and said working units and said sliding plate, at least some of said mechanical linkages extending through said opening, and means connected to said cam shaft to rotate said cam-shaft thereby to operate said mechanical linkages to actuate said working units and to raise and lower said sliding plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
An assembly machine comprising a stationary frame, a table fixed to the frame and having a central opening, a cam-shaft journaled for rotation in the frame below the table and extending diametrally across said opening, a horizontal annular plate mounted for rotation on and relative to said table and surrounding said opening, a plurality of vertical columns rigidly supported by the frame, a sliding plate slidably mounted on the columns for vertical movement relative to the frame, working units mounted on the sliding plate and on the table for assembling articles of manufacture thereon, a plurality of cams on the cam-shaft, mechanical linkages supported by said frame and extending between said cams and said working units and said sliding plate, at least some of said mechanical linkages extending through said opening, and means connected to said cam shaft to rotate said cam-shaft thereby to operate said mechanical linkages to actuate said working units and to raise and lower said sliding plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An assembly machine as claimed in claim 1, said mechanical linkages for actuating said working units that are mounted on the table being disposed outside said table and cooperating with the cams on an end of said cam-shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
An assembly machine as claimed in claim 1, said cams being in two parts whereby said cams can be fixed on the cam-shaft without dismounting the cam-shaft from the frame.
