Description
April 30, 1963 w. J. CRAVEN CONTAINER FOR BAND SAWS AND THE LIKE Filed July 22, 1960 INVENTOR. W/LBUR L/ CRAVEN BY M 1 3 ATTO EYS 1 United States Patent 3,087,608 CONTAINER FOR BAND SAWS AND THE LIKE Wilbur J. Craven, East Hartford, Conn., assiguor to The Capewell Manufacturing Company, Hartford, Conn., a corporation of Connecticut Filed July 22, 1960, Ser. No. 44,590 9 Claims. (Cl. 206-52) The present invention relates to containers for coiled strip such as bandsaw blades and the like.
Generally, bandsaw blades for industrial use are transported and stored in coils of considerable length, and strips of the desired length for use are cut as needed. Since the bandsaw blade is provided with offset teeth along one edge, it is highly desirable that a container for the coil be prevented from contact with the teeth which would tend to wear and even distort the teeth.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel and rugged container for coiled bandsaw blades and the like wherein the side walls do not contact the offset teeth and wherein the bandsaw may be readily threaded outwardly and inwardly of the container.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a sturdy container having minimal frictional contact with the saw blade and having the stresses of the coiled blade distributed uniformly over the container walls.
A further object is to provide a molded plastic container having a low coefiicient of friction and provided with a plurality of means for easily threading the coil blade inwardly and outwardly of the container, and further having means for stacking a plurality of containers.
Ather objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out more in detail hereinafter.
The invention according consists in the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereafter set forth and the scope of the application which will be indicated in the appended claims.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container constructed in accordance with the present invention with a bandsaw blade shown in dotted line;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the base member of the container with a coiled bandsaw blade shown therein;
FIG. 3 is a side view of the base member of FIG. 2.;
FIG 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary section of the container with a bandsaw therein as assembled for shipping.
Referring to the attached drawing, a container embodying the present invention is generally comprised of interfitting base member 2 and top member 4 of equilateral hexagonal configuration which receive a coiled bandsaw blade 6 having teeth 8 along one edge thereof.
The junctures of the several side walls are reinforced by large bosses 20 which also provide means for receivin a threaded fastener or the like and each of the several small reinforcing bosses 22 are spaced along each of the several sides. A plurality of large bosses 24 are spaced about the inner wall 16 for reinforcement and for similarly receiving threaded fasteners or the like.
The saw blade 6 may be dispensed from the container through either of the threaded-out apertures 26 on nonadjacent sides of the peripheral wall 14. A pair of diametrically spaced apertures 28 in the transverse bottom wall 12 register with the coiled bandsaw received in the container to perimit the user to engage the coiled saw blade for threadeably rotating the saw blade inwardly and outwardly of the thread-out apertures 26.
The top member 4 is also integrally constructed and has a depending inner wall 30 which overlies and frictionally engages with the inner wall 10 of the base member, a transverse top wall 32 and a depending peripheral wall 34 which overlies and frictionally engages the outer surface of the peripheral wall 14 of the base member 2. The top member 4 is also provided with reinforcing and spacing flanges 36 and 38 about its inner and peripheral walls respectively. The pair of diametrically opposed apertures 40 in the top Wall 32 are aligned and cooperate with the diametrically opposed apertures 28 in the base member 2, so that both edges of the coil may be gripped for easy rotation of the coil in the container. The top member peripheral wall 34 has a pair of cut-outs 42 or apertures registering with the apertures 26 in the peripheral Wall of the base member to provides sufiicient clearance for withdrawal of the saw blade from the container. Screws, rivets or similar fasteners 44 iend through the top wall 32 and engage in the large bosses 20 and 24 of the base member to lock the two members together.
Referring now to the assembled package, the bandsaw coil 6 is disposed in the base member 2 as best shown in FIG. 2, and the outer lap of the coil bears against the midpoints of each of the several equilateral sides, thus distributing the stress substantially uniformly over the entire container periphery. The free end of the bandsaw coil may be threaded outwardly or inwardly of either of the two thread-out apertures 26 through rotation of the coil by gripping both edges through the aligned apertures 40 and 28 in the top and bottom walls respectively. Quite obviously, the dual apertures in the side Walls and in the transverse walls greatly facilitate withdrawal of the saw blade since the coil need be rotated a half revolution at most for passage through a thre'adout aperture.
The weight of the saw blade coil generally will maintain it seated upon the bottom wall 12, and accordingly the offset teeth 8 will be spaced inwardly from the inner surface of the peripheral wall 14. However, it is desirable to incorporate a resilient or deformable spacing member 46 between the saw teeth 8 and the top Wall 32 so as to maintain the saw blade seated upon the bottom wall 12 and to prevent abrading contact between the saw teeth and the top wall 32. This spacing member 46 is a relatively soft material such as paperboard or felt which will engage the teeth 8 and so rotate with the coil. In this manner, contact between the fingers and sharp teeth during threading, or paying out, of the coil is obviated and the spacing member need not be removed prior to use. A plurality of containers may be vertically stacked, the feet on the base member butting against the upstanding portion of the peripheral flange on the top member to stabilize the several containers.
In the illustrated embodiment, the container is an equilateral hexagon in configuration, which configuration has been found highly satisfactory for the purposes of the present invention. In order to insure satisfactory distribution of the stresses from the coiled blade about the periphery of the container, it has been found necessary to utilize structures having at least five equilateral sides,
and preferably at least SiX equilateral sides, but ten sides is a practical upper limit for fabrication and side-stacking reasons, as well as for efficient construction of the threadout apertures 26.
It is necessary that the containers have a low coefficient of friction for engagement with the saw blade so as to facilitate withdrawal and prevent binding. This characteristic is most desirably provided by fabricating the container from a material having a low coefiicient of friction, although an antifriction coating such as tetrafluoroethylene may be applied over the inner surfaces of the container. Although stainless steel can be utilized for fabrication of the container, synthetic resins are preferable from the standpoint of cost and ease of manufacture. Although other resins such as nylon and tetrafluoroethylene may be employed, high density polyethylene has proven especially suitable for the purposes of the present invention because of its low cost, ease of molding, high strength and high degree of lubricity.
As will be apparent to persons skilled in the art, various modifications and adaptations of the structure above described will become readily apparent without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims.
