ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a constraining apparatus, for constraining cambered leaf spring blanks when they are quenched in an quenching oil in the oil tank of a quenching systems so as to prevent any possible distortion in the directions of the thickness and width of the blanks. The constraining apparatus basically consists of a drive system having a pair of sprockets, a drive shaft for driving the sprockets, a fixed disc and a pair of endless chains extended across the sprockets and the fixed disc, with a plurality of constrainers attached across these chains. The constrainer consists of a pair of support frame members; a plurality of slide shafts extended between these frame members on which carriers are disposed; a plurality of bases disposed to the respective carriers, which can be moved horizontally and transversely; a plurality of constraining jigs disposed to the respective bases which can constrain the blank in the directions of the thickness and width thereof; a plurality of locking means for locking the respective constraining jigs in position by locking the carriers and the bases; and a plurality of shifting means which can shift the locking means between the locked state and the released state; wherein the blank is immersed in the oil while it is constrained by the plurality of constraining jigs arranged in position along the camber profile of the leaf spring blank in the directions of the thickness and width thereof.
