Abstract

When mounting a grip 10 on a cross head 73 , a pin 62 and an adapter 50 are removed from a joint 40 . Then, a boss 13 of the grip 10 is inserted into a hollow part 45 of the joint 40 , and the pin 62 is inserted into a through-hole 14 formed in the boss 13 of the grip 10 and a hole part 42 formed in a tubular body 41 of the joint 40 . When mounting a platen 30 on the cross head 73 , the adapter 50 is mounted on the joint 40 . In addition, the platen 30 is mounted on the adapter 50 . Further, a set screw is inserted into a hole part 52 of the adapter 50.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A jig mounting device for a material testing machine, the jig mounting device being capable of selectively mounting a grip for gripping a test piece when performing a tensile test or a pressing member for pressing a test piece when performing a compression test,
the jig mounting device comprising:
a joint in which a tubular body and a hole part are formed, the tubular body formed with a hollow part insertable with a boss of the grip, and the hole part insertable with a pin penetrating through a through-hole formed in the boss of the grip in a state where the boss of the grip is inserted into the hollow part;
an adapter comprising a flange part and a hollow part, the hollow part insertable with a boss of the pressing member;
a pressing member fixing member for fixing the pressing member to the adapter in a state where the boss of the pressing member is inserted into the hollow part of the adapter, and a lower surface of the adapter and an upper surface of the pressing member are in surface contact with each other, and
an adapter fixing mechanism adapted to bring the joint and the adapter into surface contact with each other and fix the adapter to the joint.

2. The jig mounting device for a material testing machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the adapter fixing mechanism is a male screw that is formed in the adapter and screwed into a female screw formed in the joint.

3. The jig mounting device for a material testing machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressing member fixing member is a set screw that presses the boss of the pressing member.

4. The jig mounting device for a material testing machine according to claim 3 , wherein
an outer circumferential part of the boss of the pressing member is formed with a groove part insertable with a head part of the set screw.

5. A jig mounting device for a material testing machine, the jig mounting device being capable of selectively mounting a grip for gripping a test piece when performing a tensile test or a pressing member for pressing a test piece when performing a compression test,
the jig mounting device comprising:
a joint that has a tubular body formed with a hollow part insertable with a boss of the grip, wherein the tubular body is formed with a hole part insertable with a pin penetrating through a through-hole formed in the boss of the grip in a state where the boss of the grip is inserted thereinto, and formed with a female screw on an inner wall thereof;
an adapter that has a flange part and a hollow part insertable with a boss of the pressing member, and is formed in an outer circumferential part thereof with a male screw screwable with the female screw formed on the inner wall of the tubular body of the joint; and
a pressing member fixing member for fixing the pressing member to the adapter in a state where the boss of the pressing member is inserted into the hollow part of the adapter, and a lower surface of the adapter and an upper surface of the pressing member are in surface contact with each other, wherein
in a state where the female screw of the joint and the male screw of the adapter are screwed together, a lower surface of the tubular body of the joint and an upper surface of the flange part of the adapter are in surface contact with each other.

6. The jig mounting device for a material testing machine according to claim 5 , wherein:
the boss of the pressing member has a cylindrical shape, and an outer circumferential part thereof is formed with a groove part;
the adapter is formed with a hole part from the outer circumferential part to the hollow part thereof; and
the pressing member fixing member is a set screw that passes through the hole part of the adapter and penetrates into the groove part formed in the boss of the pressing member.
