In an apparatus for automatically feeding bar stock material into a numerically-controlled automatic lathe, a bar is rotatably clamped and borne by the clamp jaws of several bearing clamps disposed in a row at intervals along the bar and orientated at respectively different angles about the bar, each clamp jaw comprising three pulleys in triangular formation and an endless belt supported on these pulleys, one of which is driven, the bar being clamped between a span of the belt between two pulleys of one jaw and that of the other jaw of each bearing clamp. The bar is thus held at clamping positions that vary helically about the bar as it is fed by a feed pipe into the lathe. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of this invention to provide an automatic bar material feeding apparatus for automatically feeding bar material to a machine tool, in which apparatus noise generated by the rotation of the bar material is suppressed, and at the same time the transverse vibration of the bar material is held to a minimum thereby to make possible the operation of the machine tool at high speed with high precision.
According to this invention, briefly summarized, there is provided an apparatus for automatically feeding into a machine tool bar stock material for machining thereof, the apparatus having: a stock table for holding thereon a number of bars; openable and closeable bearing means; means for supplying the bars, one at a time, from the stock table to the bearing means to be rotatably borne thereby in coaxial alinement with the main spindle of the machine tool, the bearing means extending from one end to the other end thereof over most of the length of the bar thus borne; and a feed pipe with a feed chuck for gripping the end remote from the machine tool of the bar thus borne and successively feeding the bar into the machine tool as the machining progresses, the bearing means comprising a plurality of bearing clamps disposed sequentially at intervals along the borne bar and each comprising a pair of openable and closeable clamping jaws each having an endless belt rotatably supported on rotatable pulleys, the borne bar being elastically clamped between the two belts of the clamping jaws of each bearing clamp, the apparatus being characterized by: a first mechanism provided for each bearing clamp for varying the angular position of the clamp about the borne bar and functioning to cause the directions of the clamping forces of the bearing clamps on the borne bar to be respectively different; and a second mechanism for opening and closing the clamping jaws of each bearing clamp and functioning so that, as the feed chuck advances, the bearing clamps successively approached thereby are successively opened to release the bar and become clear of the path of the feed chuck, the first and second mechanisms being unitized for each bearing clamp
