Le Tourneau, Inc.; Stockton, Calif., a corporation of California Application July 13, 1943, Serial No. 494,586 7 Claims. (C1. 100-70) This invention relates to heavy-duty presses, preferably of the vertical ram type; an object being to provide a mechanism for operating the ram which includes a single throw crankshaft, and means for imparting rotation to the crankshaft from both ends and at relatively opposed points simultaneously. By so doing, I greatly reduce the torque load otherwise placed on the crankshaft if the power is applied to one end only of the shaft. This new arrangement also permits of the use of a smaller crankshaft to transmit a given power than can now be employed, with a corresponding reduction in manufacturing costs. The crankshaft operating mechanism includes a pair of synchronized electric motors, with clutch and brake units interposed between the motor and shaft. Another object of the invention is to control the clutches and brakes so that the brakes are applied automatically as the clutches are released and also simultaneously with such releasing. In this manner instant halting of the crankshaft and the ram is accomplished without any coasting and without stopping the motors. A further object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive device, and yet one which will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed。 These objects I accomplish by means, of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claims. In the drawings similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the upper portion of my improved press. Figure 2 is a fragmentary sectional elevation of the press, showing the ram and its connec
