TV star back on feet after attack
'Off the Rails' host Brendan Courtney is beaten in homophobic assault, but puts on brave face for the IFTAs, says Niamh Horan
Published 13/02/2011 | 05:00
TV presenter Brendan Courtney has been left battered and bruised after a savage gay bashing attack during a night out in Dublin.
The Off the Rails star was walking down busy South Great George's Street when he was set upon by a stranger in an apparently random homophobic attack.
The attacker punched Courtney full force in the face while shouting "queer" at the terrified star. The fashion presenter was left with a nasty black eye from the incident.
Speaking this weekend the shaken stylist said it was disgraceful that such incidents were still happening in Dublin.
"I was walking home on George's Street with a group of friends after a club night in Andrews Lane. It was about two or three in the morning," he said.
"Some guy in his early 20s came up to me with a group of friends and punched me full force in the face. He ran off with his friends before we could get him.
"I felt very threatened. I have lived in Dublin city for a long time and I'd be very careful, but how do you prepare for someone running up to you out of nowhere and hitting you straight in the face?
"I haven't had time yet but I will be reporting it to the guards.
"It's absolutely disgraceful that in this day and age some people think it's still acceptable to behave in this way.
"I'm very lucky that this has been my first brush with anything like this but it isn't uncommon.
"The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine outside Jervis Street shopping centre last Wednesday. He was beaten up and they yelled at him calling him a queer. It's disgraceful.
"I'm grand though. I'm made of tough boots," he added.
The star later posted on his Facebook page: "Off to the IFTAs tonight with a black eye. Some eejit on George's Street called me a queer and punched me. I think he fancied me! This shit still happens! I'm totally grand but be careful ladies!"
Friend and model Pippa O'Connor offered her support saying: "How appalling! Rise above it."
The Off the Rails star was speaking at the Irish Film and television awards ceremony, which friends encouraged him to attend after his terrifying ordeal.
Also present on the night was Amy Huberman who scooped the award for Best Actress in Film and Television for her lead performance in the feature film Rewind.
The actress wife of Rugby star Brian O'Driscoll stole the show at the glittering awards ceremony at the Convention Centre in front of a host of Irish and international celebrities from the worlds of film and television.
Also present was Hollywood heart-throb Pierce Brosnan who picked up best actor in a supporting role for The Ghost. Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall lent her A-list star presence to the glamorous show. Up-and-coming actor Donal Gleeson won the best actor award for a lead role in television and also scooped the coveted rising star award.
Saoirse Ronan picked up best actress in a supporting role, while The Tudors was named the best television series. Martin McCann received the best actor gong for his performance in Swan Song.
The film As If I Am Not There scooped three awards on the night -- for best film, best director (Juanita Wilson), and best film script (Juanita Wilson again).

What Your Child Needs to Know About Sexby Fred Kaeser
If you start talking early enough, kids will listen. FOR MANY PARENTS, the talk is one of the most dreaded rites of passage in the child-raising experience--but it doesn't have to be. The key is to start early when talking about sex with your child. In Dr. Fred Kaeser's progressive approach, parents become their child's first resource for sexual information (instead of ceding control to peers, the school system, or the media) in order to have a lasting and positive influence over their child's sexual development. As the former director of health in the New York City public schools, there's nothing Dr. Kaeser hasn't been asked by kids, or by parents. And he has seen firsthand the results of our increasingly sexualized youth culture, and how it's making children grow up faster than ever these days. From sexting to cyberbullying, challenges and pressures abound--even for kids in kindergarten. This means that parents must begin laying the groundwork for basic conversations about sex when their child is as young as three years old. Parents then build their discussions on this early foundation, introducing more information at developmentally appropriate ages (for example, talking about puberty with your eight-year-old, and discussing safe sex with your ten-year-old). What Your Child Needs to Know About Sex (and When) goes far beyond the birds and the bees to discuss uncomfortable issues with a winning frankness and empowering attitude. It offers families the tools they need for navigating how and when to have positive dialogues about sexuality and helps parents learn to use everyday teachable moments. Open communication about sex with your children isn't necessarily easy, but it can be done; this indispensable book will guide you every step of the way.

Big Macs 'too costly' for Iceland as McDonald's outlets shut
Published 27/10/2009
The Big Mac, long a symbol of globalisation, has become the latest victim of Iceland's overexposure to the world financial crisis.
Iceland's three McDonald's outlets - all in the capital Reykjavik - will close next weekend as the franchise owner gives in to falling profits caused by the collapse of the krona currency.
"The economic situation has just made it too expensive for us," Magnus Ogmundsson, managing director of Lyst Hr, McDonald's franchise holder in Iceland, said.
Lyst was bound by McDonald's requirement that it import all the goods required for its restaurants - from packaging to meat and cheeses - from Germany.
Costs had doubled over the past year because of the fall in the krona and high import tariffs on imported goods, Mr Ogmundsson said, making it impossible for the company to raise prices further and remain competitive with rivals using locally-sourced produce.
A Big Mac in Reykjavik already costs £3.25. But the 20% increase needed to make a decent profit would have pushed that to £3.90, making the Icelandic version of the burger the most expensive in the world, Mr Ogmundsson said.
That title is currently held jointly by Switzerland and Norway where it costs £3.53, according to The Economist magazine's 2009 Big Mac index.
"The unique operational complexity of doing business in Iceland combined with the very challenging economic climate in the country makes it financially prohibitive to continue the business," Theresa Riley, a spokeswoman at McDonald's headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, said.
"This complex set of challenges means we have no plans to seek a new partner in Iceland."
McDonald's, the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, arrived in Reykjavik in 1993 when the country was on an upward trajectory of wealth and expansion.
The first person to take a bite out of a Big Mac on the island was then prime minister David Oddsson, who went on to become governor of the country's central bank, Sedlabanki, before being forced out earlier this year amid public outcry about his inability to prevent Iceland's financial crisis.
Lyst plans to reopen the stores under a new brand name, Metro, using locally-sourced materials and produce and retaining the franchise's current 90-strong staff.

The timing might be a little off this year — with Chanukah so early in December — but organizers of the annual Chanukah Camp at Camp Max Straus in Glendale are not deterred. Chanukah camp packs a week's worth of camp fun — campfires, hikes, sports, drama, arts and crafts, social service projects — into the first week of winter break, Dec. 19-23. And although Chanukah's last night is Dec. 8, all of these activities will revolve around a Chanukah theme, including a concert, carnival and latke making.
Camp Max Straus, on a 112-acre wooded campus in the Verdugo Mountains, is operated by Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles. About 40 percent of the 100 or so kids who usually come to Chanukah Camp are little brothers or sisters in the program.
Chanukah Camp works on sliding-scale tuition, so the camp and the families determine a fee based on the family's income. No one has ever been turned away for inability to pay, even if they could not afford even the $35 application fee, said Barry Vigon, director of Camp Max Straus.
Chanukah Camp is open to kids ages 7-14, with a counselor training program for older teens. Kosher meals are provided upon request. For more information, call (323) 456-1153 or visit jbbbsla.org.

Franklin gets another title
Wisconsin Rapids - When backed into a corner, when another team - a team smashing state records left and right - threatened to take away its WIAA Division 1 state gymnastics championship, Franklin Combined came out fighting.
The team, made up of gymnasts from Franklin, Muskego, Oak Creek and Whitnall, fought off deep, talented, No. 1 ranked Burlington Co-op on Saturday afternoon to win its second consecutive team championship.
Franklin won the title with a 147.648. Burlington was second at 145.116. Sheboygan South/North was third with a 140.033. Homestead finished fourth and Arrowhead fifth.
"Our sole goal all season was to keep our championship," said Franklin coach Katie Moore. "We knew we had to beat Burlington only one time. We could forget every other time they beat us if we came out and beat them today. And to do that we knew we had to start this thing big."
Franklin came out smoking: The team scored a meet-high 37.6 on its first event, the floor exercise. Junior Lauren Zurowski scored a 9.483, and the team's lowest score of the four that counted was 9.3.
"We know it's hard to start on floor because scores tend to go up as the meet goes on, but we just wanted to go out there and rock it," said junior Sammie Olson. "It was time to go out and leave everything on the floor."
Burlington, ranked No. 1 in the area almost the entire season, scored a state-record 150.475 at the sectionals, averaged a score of about 145 during the season, had a team of full of young talent and got to rest the first two rounds.
But when it started on vault, Burlington was off, at least compared to its lofty standards. It scored an inconsistent 36.101 led by freshman Molly Benavides' 9.517. But the newly minted Division 1 all-around champion, freshman Bailey Fitzpatrick, posted only an 8.7. She had a 9.167 on Friday.
"I think the girls were relaxed and ready to go, but maybe having to go today after yesterday caught up to them," said Burlington coach Diane Biedrzycki. Franklin took advantage by scoring 36.9 on vault in the next round. Zurowski led the way with a 9.4.
"Burlington regained some confidence with a strong uneven bars set. Jenna Fitzpatrick scored a 9.533, Bailey Fitzpatrick a 9.433 and Benavides a 9.25. The 37.149 team score kept the heat on Franklin.
Again Franklin was up to the challenge. They scored 36.783 on the bars, getting an exclamation point 9.5 from Olson, who finished sixth in the event at Friday's individual meet.
Burlington struggled on beam, counting two falls and finishing with a 35.183. Benavides had the high score with 9.183. Franklin followed with solid effort with a few wobbles, but no falls. Olson, who tied for first in the balance beam at the individual meet, scored a 9.333. The team posted a 36.366.
Burlington had to wait until the final rotation to finish on the floor exercise. By then, however, the team needed to be practically perfect to win the meet. They weren't. Fitzpatrick scored a 9.45, but the team finished with a 36.683, well short of what they needed to win.
Team Scores (Bars, Floor, Vault, Beam) - 1, Franklin / Muskego / Oak Creek / Whitnall (36.366, 37.6, 36.899, 36.783) 147.648; 2, Burlington / Badger / Catholic Central / Wilmot (35.183, 36.683, 36.101, 37.149) 145.116; 3, Sheboygan South / North (34.9, 36.267, 35.7, 33.166) 140.033; 4, Homestead (35.049, 35.683, 35.084, 33.983) 139.799; 5, Arrowhead (35.766, 35.917, 34.3, 33.483) 139.466; 6, Middleton (33.783, 35.116, 34.533, 34.4) 137.832; 7, Stevens Point (33.266, 34.433, 33.766, 33.533) 134.998; 8, Verona / Edgewood (33, 34.732, 33.3, 33.534) 134.566; 9, Eau Claire Memorial / North (34, 35.4, 33.384, 31.583) 134.367; 10, Oshkosh West / Lourdes / North (33.634, 33.7, 33.833, 33.083) 134.25.

Something Special (ft. Thundercat) Lyrics[Produced by RMB Justize]
I just want to
Comeback, comeback, comeback, comeback to me
I wanna roll one up, roll one up with you
Comeback, comeback, comeback, comeback to me
I wanna roll one up, roll one up with you
[Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa]
Met her at a party, I was sippin' gin
She was burnin' on The Chronic
Thunder beat the Lakers now there ain't no Super Sonics
Chain hella flossy
Waitin' for you to come over here and put it on me
You down to ride and you like say no more
Try to hide it but I can't no more
And God blessed me with game but I ain't playin' though
Instead of fuckin' with lames
(I just want you)
He ain't said nothing but a word
Twist up the herb
Tell your friends they ain't gotta catch feelings
There's enough room for all ya'll - skinny, fat, and tall
Believe me I done seen it all, done it all
Born to ball, do it big, never small
The weed I'm smokin' on
Come over here, tell your homegirls (?)
Roll another joint and get straight to the point
[Verse 2: Wiz Khalifa]
Now the hoes done shown up, the money done blown up
But every time you callin' a nigga, I pick the phone up
Don't care about my pockets being swole up
Long as I show love, show up, my top won't go up
Everyday's a new flight, at night's a new hotel
Fuck you wanna plane, nigga, (?) won't tell
Both feet in the sand, you know I'm the man
We gone stick to the plan, watch 'em shit on demand
Early morning eating breakfast in the hot tub
Pedicure, Manny, full massage with the face scrub
Smokin' O-G, fuck the police
Sun glowin' off your skin
Said she never been there before, she tryna do it again
I can only fuck once, I'm tryna do it again
Hold up, it's meant to be
No luck, here's some weed, roll up
Make sure the neighbors know us
You know what it is!
Hey, hey, hey, shit, damn
(I just want you to know that you're really special)
What I'm smokin' is special
(I just want you to know that you're really special)
That ass is lookin' special
You make everything in the world look special
And you rep that gang baby girl
(I just want you)
(?) R&B, Thundercat, whatup Drew

Poor Boston College will depart Philadelphia like a disappointed tourist, its Frozen Four visit here ruined by a pickpocket.
Seconds after B.C. failed to tie Thursday's riveting national semifinal during a 5-minute, third-period advantage, Eagles defenseman Steve Santini was stripped of the puck near mid-ice. A subsequent breakaway shot by Union's Kevin Sullivan was stopped by B.C. goalie Thatcher Demko, but Mike Vecchione pushed home the rebound.
That stunningly sudden turnaround - just four seconds after Union had killed off the major checking-from-behind penalty to Matt Hatch - gave the Dutchmen a 4-2 lead. And despite a crazy final two minutes, they held on for a 5-4 victory that sent them into the NCAA championship game Saturday night against Minnesota, a 2-1 winner over North Dakota in the second game.

I am a fashion/ textile designer and mother of six children.
Over time I have designed and knitted as well as sewn hundreds of items of baby and childrens clothing.
I am a designer specializing in innovative and practical children's wear that is timeless and understated.
Sewing, knitting and designing for babies and children gives me special joy and freedom to be playful, nostalgic and quirky.
I prefer natural yarns and fabrics as these don't just feel and look good, they also perform very well when used for children's garments.
My belief is that children's wear should be fun, practical and comfortable as well as easy to care for.
I am a highly creative person and there are a lot of artists, designers as well as dressmakers in my family and my great grandfather who was as a sewing machine engineer...
Nothing quite compares with making something for your little one yourself.
I encourage everyone with the urge to have a go.
It's fun and a lot easier than you think!
One of my daughters knitted a very simple blanket for her baby brother when she was 10 years old. It is by no means perfect but it has become a very special prized possession that both her and her brother will cherish for years to come.
Empower yourself and have a go!
A delightful vest pattern suitable for both boys and girls and easy to sew.
A simply sweet little vest in 3 sizes,3 months,6 months and 9 months.
The vest is designed to be a generous fit.
This design used to be my favorite when my sons were small.
When they outgrew one I made another in a bigger size.
It's the kind of practical, fun top that will take a baby anywhere and keep him warm but not restricting active movements.
Over the years I have made many of these in all sorts of sizes and colours with different kinds of applique.
Make it from any colour fleece fabric,it will look fabulous.
It is fully lined with knit fabric,which makes it reversible it you like
You can make it from faux fur and omit the applique for a very trendy look.
The crochet sheep are easy to make and are hand stitched onto the jacket.
You could play around with all sorts of embellishments for both boys and girls, the sky is the limit!
All edges and hemlines are embellished with hand embroidered blanket stitch for an extra hand made touch.

Material list
Step by step sewing instructions
Crochet instructions and chart

Coyle-Cassidy hockey patriarch Joseph Quinn has died.
Quinn, 87, who founded the Warriors' program in 1972, passed away Sunday at his Taunton home surrounded by his family. A member of Boston College's national championship team in 1949, the Dedham native was behind Coyle's bench for 35 seasons and was a United States Marine Corps veteran, serving during World War II.
"He was a second father to me," current Coyle hockey head coach Dave Borges said Monday morning. "I spent a lot of time with him during my life, whether it was playing or coaching, and we're certainly going to miss him. It's a big loss for the Coyle family."
Quinn led the Warriors to 13 division titles during his head coaching tenure before retiring in 2005, when Borges stepped in.
"He was a great person and a great coach who lived a long, full life," Borges said.

MONTREAL (AP) - The Montreal Canadiens weren't feeling too down despite blowing an opportunity to move into a tie for an NHL playoff spot.
Montreal squandered a two-goal lead as the Dallas Stars scored twice in the third period, including defenseman Brad Lukowich's first goal of the season that lifted the Stars into a 3-3 tie Thursday night.
The Canadiens have 67 points, one fewer than the New York Rangers for the eighth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Montreal, winless in its past four, has played one fewer game than the Rangers.
"We lost a big point, but at the same time I really think that we battled hard," Canadiens center Yanic Perreault said. "If we put in this kind of effort until the end of the year, we should have more wins."
Dallas gave up three straight goals after Mike Modano scored 4:17 in. But the Stars pulled within one on Jere Lehtinen's 20th goal 9:05 into the third.
"We came in here after the second and we didn't get down," Lukowich said. "We figured we were still playing a good game and we had given them the goals that they did get. We knew we just had to stick to what we were doing, stick to the game plan, and it would eventually come."
Lukowich beat Jose Theodore for the tying goal 2:54 later for his first goal since April 4, 2001.
"I was saying for the last month that I wasn't going to get one this year because I'd had a lot of close opportunities," Lukowich said. "I had one earlier in the game where I hit Theo in the head. I'm just lucky."
Dallas, which outshot Montreal 42-21, is 0-21-4 when trailing after two periods.
Theodore also faced 42 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Rangers in New York on Monday.
"We were looking forward to winning the game, but even if I face 40, 50, 60 shots, I've got to stop a goal like the second one," Theodore said. "I was hal-screened, but I think I should have stopped it anyway."
Manny Malhotra saw limited ice time and was held pointless in his first game with the Stars since he was acquired from the Rangers on Tuesday.
Perreault beat goalie Ed Belfour 11:48 into the first to tie it at 1 after Modano opened with his team-leading 32nd goal.
Andreas Dackell put the Canadiens ahead with a short-handed goal 2:09 into the second, followed by a deflection goal by Marcel Hossa, who was recalled from Quebec City of the AHL hours earlier.
NHL Notes:
n Stars C Pierre Turgeon was to have his strained right shoulder examined by team medical staff on Friday.
n Belfour and Stars C Joe Nieuwendyk were given an ovation from the crowd of 20,614 when the public address announcer introduced them as members of Canada's gold medal-winning Olympic team.
n Six Quebec-based members of Canada's Olympic gold medal women's team were introduced, along with head coach, Danielle Sauvageau.
n The Ottawa Senators traded tough guy Andre Roy to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday for center Juha Ylonen. Tampa also received a sixth-round pick in this year's draft. Roy, 27, had five goals, eight assists and 148 penalty minutes in 55 games this season. Ylonen, 30, had three goals and 10 assists for Tampa Bay this season. The five-year NHL veteran, earning $750,000 this season, also played for Finland in the Olympics in Salt Lake City.
n Defenseman Vitaly Vishnevski of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks was suspended for two games without pay by the NHL on Friday for elbowing Pittsburgh defenseman Michal Rozsival in a game on Wednesday. No penalty was assessed on the play. Vishnevski was also suspended for one preseason game last September. The suspension will cost him $23,780.48 and he will miss games on Friday against Chicago and Sunday against St. Louis.
n Forward Steve Moore was recalled by the Colorado Avalanche on Friday from Hershey of the AHL. Moore, 23, has nine goals, 17 assists and 25 penalty minutes in 60 games with Hershey and no points in three games with Colorado this season. Avalanche center Stephane Yelle was injured Thursday after Atlanta defenseman Andy Sutton slammed him into the boards.
n The Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday traded defenseman Jamie Pushor to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a fourth-round draft pick in 2003. Pushor is a seven-year veteran who also has played for Dallas, Anaheim and Detroit. He has appeared in 61 games this season, with six assists and 54 penalty minutes. In two seasons with the club, he has three goals, 16 assists and 148 penalty minutes in 136 games. The Blue Jackets called up defenseman Duvie Westcott on Friday from Syracuse of the AHL. Westcott has four goals and 29 assists with 85 penalty minutes for the Crunch this season. Westcott could make his NHL debut Saturday when Columbus is home against Calgary.

The subdivision of what was once called "the great Somalia" or SOOMAALI WEYN, which has now descended into small clan-based semiautonomous states, is mainly attributed to the loss of the memorial services that Somali people used to observe each year with the arrival of the Somali youth day. That day was the 15th May, which was on Wednesday.
The Somali Youth League was founded on May 15, 1943. Led by the fathers of Independence, it was Somalia's most important nationalist organization, in their ongoing struggle for independence. The Somali Youth League (SYL) was the first political party of the Somali Republic.
This special day was not remembered as it used to be. Although small celebratory groups have been observed in some places, that doesn't really show how such an important day should be commemorated.
Memories Of Independence
From what I can remember, for the past 16 years that I have been mature, Somali people across the country or elsewhere around the world used to share ideas and suggestions on how to make early preparations for the memorial services of the day which used to be held inside and outside the country.
That always started at least two or three months before the arrival of 15th May. It is the foundation day of Somali Youth council SYC in 1943, which later changed to Somali Youth League SYL. But no colourful events have been seen this year. No one can tell what has gone wrong, considering that there are millions of Somalis around the globe.
How It Used To Be
Think back in time and remember that in the capital Mogadishu, or the provincial capital of the semiautonomous state of Puntland, as elsewhere in the country, we used to host huge celebrations. They started a day before and continued through the night of the 15th May. Small luxury cars used to be seen travelling in the streets, covered with the flag of Somalia, in big cities and small villages across the country. Sadly, that didn't happen even through Wednesday night of the 15th of May 2013.
More Weighty Matters At Hand?
Instead of that, leaders of the federal government of Somalia have been sharing discussions and consultations on how to react to the outcome of the Kismayo conference. That conference elected a regional state president which the federal government recognised as an illegal administration, which didn't come with the consent of the people living in the southern Jubba regions. That is where former Islamist warlord Ahmed Mohamed Islan (Madoobe) has been elected as the Jubba Land state president on Wednesday.
The city of Garowe, which is the provincial capital of the semiautonomous Somali state of Puntland, was the same as any other big cities in Somalia, as no word of the 15th May day was even mentioned at the presidential palace or at any other governmental complex.
But, instead the president of Puntland Abdirahman Sheik Mohamed (Faroole) appeared in the news headlines around the country sending congratulations to the president elected of Jubba Land state Ahmed Madoobe, forgetting to say about the 15th of May.
"I am extremely happy to hear about the very positive news that has just emerged from the constitutional meeting which has been under way in Kismayo and elected Sheik Ahmed Madoobe as a president, we hope success for the president elected and his government." These were the words of Puntland state president Abdirahman Faroole. at a press conference, while sitting at a small park in his presidential palace in Garowe, just a few minutes after the announcement of the election.
"The outcome of Kismayo meeting is a great failure to all who were against it – I urge the federal government to support the outcome of the months-long Kismayo conference, likewise I call IGAD and the rest of the international community to support it," President Faroole told the media on Wednesday.
In reaction, prime minister of the federal government of Somalia, Abdi Farah Shirdoon, has appointed a 16-member facilitation committee, which he said will work on the process of reconciliation of the southern Jubba regions. In a press statement, the prime minister said the duties of the committee include to work on how to form a future regional state in the region. This means his government doesn't accept the outcome of the Kismayo meeting which the prime minister himself previously described as an unconstitutional" which wasn"t compatible with the federal charter.
Just as with the president of Puntland, the prime minister of Somalia hasn't mentioned anything about the 15th May in his statement which was broadcast in state media on Wednesday. All Somalis are asking themselves why the Prime Minister of the nation didn't even say a single word on the fathers of independence.
"The 15th May was the sole day of our fathe4rs of independence in the whole year and I am really disappointed by the behaviour of our leaders who are messing around with something else and forgetting the importance of this day," former table tennis national team member Abdirahman Ali Mire told the media.
"It is really a great misfortune that even never happened in the era of warlords, Somali government and other regional states will be accounted for the loss of 15th May celebrations this year," Mire added.
Not Everyone Forgets
However, the capital Mogadishu has seen a small congregation organized by a group of young boys and girls called "SYL II." It was held in an open area in the capital, attended by some low profile PMs, women and children. The President, the Prime Minister, the speaker of parliament and their ministers have not even taken part in the youth-organized congregation, because they failed to organize themselves.
That was the end of how the 15th of May passed, in 2013.

This is a Divisional of application Ser. No. 09/918,457, filed Aug. 1, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,783,484.
The invention relates to a tool magazine system for a machining spindle, comprising a gripper which picks up tools from a tool magazine, guides them to a machining spindle, for example of a machining centre or machine tool, and passes them to said spindle.
Tool magazine systems of this type are well known. In machine tools such as machining centres, cutting machines or lathes, particularly for the metal-processing industry, their function is to make a wide variety of tools available in rapid sequence according to the predetermined machining steps of the tool spindle. The tools in question are generally cutting tools such as drills or milling cutters. But it is perfectly possible to provide a machining head instead of a machining spindle, the head possibly having a tool spindle.
The known solution has the disadvantage that the arrangement of the tool magazine, in which several hundred very different tools are stored, takes up a very large space. Known systems pick up the tools from above, which necessitates a flat arrangement of the tools adjacent one another. At the same time the manipulator which handles the gripper needs a corresponding amount of space, resulting in very large installations.
The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved tool magazine system of the type described above, so as to enable a larger number of tools to be accommodated in the tool magazine system, while maintaining the same area requirement.
The present invention provides a tool magazine system for a machining spindle, comprising a gripper which picks up tools from a tool magazine, guides them to a machining spindle and passes them to a spindle wherein said gripper is fed to said tool laterally with respect to the axis of rotation, or longitudinal axis, of said tool, particularly substantially at right angles to that axis, and should grasp said tool.
This construction according to the invention allows tools to be superimposed along the longitudinal axis, vertically in the case of a rack, yet allows said tools to be grasped and transported securely. As it is in principle possible to store a plurality of tools above each other there is no problem in having said tool magazine in the form of a rack, and hence the area requirement can be considerably reduced.
The invention is in no way restricted to having said tools superimposed along the longitudinal axis, e.g. vertically. Similarly it may also be applied to existing tool magazines where said tools are e.g. juxtaposed flat or offset in a stepped arrangement. Said tool magazine system according to the invention can also accommodate tools stored in a lying position, i.e. tools with their longitudinal axis substantially horizontal.
In the tool magazine system according to the invention, the gripper approaches the tool laterally with respect to the longitudinal/rotational axis of said tool. In the state of the art, movement substantially along the longitudinal or rotational axis was envisaged (usually vertically from above), as the gripper means grasped said tool or tool shank in an axial direction. To permit these various complex movements of the gripper, said gripper is arranged on a manipulator and mounted for multi-axial movement. There may for example be a five or six-axis system with three translatory axes and two, three or even more rotational axes being provided for the gripper.
In a preferred embodiment of the tool magazine system according to the invention, a drip trough for collecting dispersed cooling liquid is provided below the tool magazine, and said drip trough is connected to the cooling liquid circuit. When the operation is started, the tool is sprayed with cooling liquid, firstly to lower its temperature and secondly to float away the detached chips. Said cooling liquid is in a circuit and, when the floated-off particles have been cleaned or filtered off, the liquid is fed by a pumping system to the tool or workpiece and sprayed onto the tool or workpiece at high pressure. When the particular step in the operation is terminated the dripping wet tool is removed from the work spindle or machining head by the gripper and transported back into the magazine. The cooling liquid clinging to it is also dispersed into the tool magazine. While the tool is out of action the liquid drips off it and is caught in the drip trough proposed according to the invention, which returns the collected liquid to the cooling liquid circuit.
To prevent all the other tools below the dripping one from being fouled with the cooling liquid mixed with abraded chips and the like, a drip sheet is provided in the storage means for the tools, so that the tool below it is protected from the liquid as by a rain canopy.
The invention further provides a gripper for taking hold of, conveying and/or passing on a tool, particularly for conveying a tool from a tool magazine to a work spindle, the tool in particular having a shank, wherein a groove, recess or shoulder with which a first member of the gripper interacts is provided in the surface of the shank or tool, and a second member of the gripper interacts with a different region of the shank or tool.
As with the form of the tool magazine system according to the invention, an improved gripper is similarly proposed, allowing the tool to be grasped substantially at right angles or laterally with respect to its preferred axis. Two different, competitive systems are substantially known for grasping tools. One is a so-called flap system, where two elements are moved axially or at an acute angle to that axis and the flaps are constructed so that they engage in the shoulders and shanks or, respectively, in slots or grooves in the tool and are held therein. Another principle operates like tongs, that is to say, the tool is picked up in an axial direction. In the state of the art solution however special undercut portions, shoulders and the like on the tool or tool shank are regularly used to hold the tool. It is often also desirable for the tool to be passed from one gripper to another, e.g. for a first gripper to take it out of the magazine and a second gripper to be responsible for inserting the tool in the work head/spindle. The known principles do not apply here, as they are generally only unilateral, i.e. they only allow the tool to be grasped at one side by the gripper.
The form of gripper now proposed according to the invention therefore also allows another gripper system, namely one approaching the tool laterally or at right angles according to the movement of the gripper. For this purpose it is proposed that the second member of the gripper should lie against the surface of the shank or the outside diameter of the tool. The second member is shaped so that it need not be held on shoulders, axial slots and the like, as was necessary in the prior art. Instead the second member is positioned on the surface of the shank or the outside diameter of the tool so that the tool is guided radially of the gripper and fixed. The axial guidance is provided by the first member, which interacts with a corresponding lug, a projection or a recess, groove or the like in the tool.
It has been indicated that a shank is provided on the tool, its external profile or outside diameter being considerably larger than the diameter of the tool. The invention is not however restricted to such a structure. It may be used in the same way in a tool without a shank, in which case the tool surface takes over the corresponding functions of the shank surface. The same applies to tools of the type where said shank is set back from the effective parts of the tool.
Use of the shank does however have a function, particularly in automatic machining of workpieces: it defines in terms of contact surfaces the exact position of the tool in a longitudinal direction and also relative to the diameter for correspondingly accurate machining. A plane face is provided on the shank for this purpose, particularly at right angles to the longitudinal axis; it is described as the functional surface and is machined extremely accurately. Known grasping principles have particularly included the functional surface for holding the tool. Such a principle is disadvantageous, firstly because the functional surface may be damaged as a result of the holding forces. Secondly chips and the like may be left on the plane face under the grasping member and may not be removed from the tool, even if a frequently envisaged subsequent blowing-off step is carried out when moving the tool into and out of the magazine. In spite of the planned cleaning step chips may therefore be left on the highly accurate contact surfaces, e.g. with a steep taper or an HSK shank. They may then be transported into the tool support on the work spindle, where they will cause measuring inaccuracies. But almost as a side effect, the solution according to the invention makes it unnecessary to include the functional surfaces for holding the tool; instead these surfaces are kept exposed and may be cleaned optimally with compressed air or a flushing liquid or the like.
A further advantage of the gripper structure is that it is comparatively compact, as said first member engages e.g. in the groove in the tool and said second member is juxtapoed, lying against the surface of the shank. If this principle is reflected in an axis or plane at right angles to the longitudinal axis, a gripper thus arranged can also grasp into the groove and another part of the shank. So with this principle, it is basically possible for two grippers to grasp the tool simultaneously. However this is the basic prerequisite for an encircling system comprising two grippers.
The gripper structure according to the invention provides three advantages: firstly it allows the tools to be arranged compactly in a tool rack; secondly it allows the workpiece to be encircled directly without using an additional encircling element and thirdly the gripper structure is chosen so that the functional surfaces are not required for holding, i.e. they cause no problems even when the tool is inserted in the work spindle, and the surfaces are accessible for cleaning.
In a preferred embodiment of the tool magazine system according to the invention, the first member and the second member can be moved relative to each other, and in particular can be moved linearly or swivelled towards each other. The proposed mobility allows the tool to be grasped and the relative mobility may be brought about by three different principles, namely solely by movement of the first or the second member or by movement of both members. According to the mount and the choice of drive it is advantageous for the first and second members either to be movable linearly towards each other or to be swivelled towards each other, e.g. if one member is hinged.
In a preferred embodiment of the tool magazine according to the invention, the first member is stationary relative to the gripper and the second member is constructed for movement towards it. The first member is preferably formed with a spring-like contact surface which engages in a peripheral groove in the shank. The second member, which is responsible for fixing the tool in a radial direction (the tool being fixed in an axial direction by the first member), is movable towards it.
Of course, it is similarly possible for the kinematics to be appropriately exchanged.
The invention also relates to a machine tool equipped with either a gripper, a tool magazine system or an encircling system as described. A machine tool of this type is employed particularly for machining workpieces, but it can also be used for other purposes, for example this principle may be applied to assembly machines where appropriate assembly tools are mounted in the work head by means of the invention.
The invention is shown diagrammatically in the accompanying drawings, in which:
The tool magazine system according to the invention is shown diagrammatically in
A dripping sheet 32 is arranged above the tool 2 to prevent cooling liquid from dripping down from a still wet tool 2 put into the rack onto a tool below it and fouling the latter, particularly on the sensitive functional surfaces or locating surfaces (HSK shank or steep taper shank).
With the arrangement according to the invention the rack bases 30 are substantially superimposed and the whole tool magazine system can therefore be made relatively compact.
The exact form of the gripper 1 can be seen particularly from
As already described, the gripper 1, 10 comprises a gripper arm 16 which has two members, namely a first member 11 and a second member 12, at its front end. The two members 11 and 12 cooperate to hold the tool 2 securely.
In the embodiment shown here the second member 12 is pivotable about an axis directed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 20 and normally arranged horizontally, i.e. it is mounted movably whereas the first member 11 is fixed to the gripper arm 16. The first member 11 has at least one contact surface 14, 14′ (
It is advantageous for the shank 21 in contact with the second member to have a larger diameter or external dimensions than the rest of the tool 2. Given the claw-like shape of the second member 12, this ensures that the claw engages over half of the diameter of the tool shank 21. The second member 12 is moved over the axis of the tool in the region of the narrower diameter, then pivoted onto the shank in a movement component in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tool. Half of the diameter describes the distance which has to be overcome in order to position the outer regions of the claw-like member 12 behind the maximum outside diameter of the shank/tool. To achieve this an e.g. cylindrical tool shank corresponding to at least half of the diameter, has to be moved into an appropriate support in order to allow the cylinder to engage from behind in the claw.
The interaction between the contact surfaces 13, 13′ of the second member 12 is shown especially in
In the embodiment shown in
It is a great advantage of the invention that the tool 2 is grasped radially with respect to the longitudinal axis 20. The shoulders, longitudinal slots and the like which are otherwise provided on the tool shank 21 are not then necessary to secure the tool 2. The functional surfaces 23 in particular, which define an exact location and position of the tool 2 in the work spindle and/or relative to the workpiece, are not needed to grasp the tool and hence these surfaces are exposed during handling, e.g. for cleaning.
For this purpose, a gap is also left between the cover 100 and the functional surface 23, that is to say, the internal surface of the cover 100 does not lie directly on the surface 23.
This arrangement prevents the functional surface from being damaged and allows it to be cleaned at any time.
The contact surfaces 13, 13′ on the second member 12 are generally accurately machined and allow the front region of the second member 12 to make positive, clamping contact with the tool shank 21. The contact surface 13, 13′ also extends over an angular region of approximately 15° to 30°. Alternatively no clamping need be provided here and contact substantially without any play may sometimes be sufficient.
It is proposed according to the invention that the first and second members 11, 12 should be movable relative to each other. With this in view, a drive is provided, for example in the form of a hydraulic or pneumatic operating cylinder incorporated in the gripper arm 16 or e.g. of an electric motor. This enables separate actuating means to be provided as the drive, i.e. it enables the movement of the gripper on its manipulator to be utilised so that the gripper is guided to appropriate stops and the members 11, 12 are then moved by virtue of the drive for the gripper. The separate actuation may alternatively be provided by the second gripper or other elements on the machine tool, and so on.
Provision is also made to allow the members 11, 12 which can move towards each other, or elements 17, 18 of the second member 12 to be fixed to each other. To this end wedge-type systems, pins or the like may be provided to hold the tool 2 securely in the gripper 1. But fixing may also be effected by appropriately constructed operating cylinders and so on.
It is further beneficial for the members 11, 12 which can be moved towards each other and/or for the elements 17, 18 to have a locking means. Locking may, for example, equally be effected by a hydraulic or pneumatic operating cylinder. But appropriate springs (compression, tension or cup springs) may also be provided, arranged counter to the working direction of the operating cylinder. If the operating cylinder or the drive is not actuated, the force of these passive elements, e.g. the spring, acts as a locking means. If movement in the opposite direction is required, the operating cylinder has to exert enough force to overcome the force of the locking means.
In the process of grasping the tool 2 the contact surface 14, 14′ of the first member 11 is first inserted in the peripheral groove 22 of the tool shank 21. It is equally possible to provide an annular slot, a groove, recess or shoulder or a retaining lug or the like on the tool 2 and/or the tool shank 21 instead of the peripheral groove. Previously, simultaneously or subsequently the second member is taken to the tool shank 21 or tool 2 with a clamping action, the second member 12 engaging its surface. As shown in
With the principle illustrated in
The vertical component or a component parallel with the longitudinal axis 20 of the second member 12 is not omitted from the
An encircling system according to the invention for engaging round an article such as the tool 2 is shown in
As will be seen from

Team Billy Dib Reject 700K Demand For Chris John Clash
By Chris LaBate
The management team of IBF featherweight champion Billy Dib have refused to accept a $700,000 demand for a unification bout with WBA king Chris John. Speaking with The Daily Telegraph, John's adviser Sampson Lewkowicz saw no reason for a fight with Dib, based on the boxer's past performance in the United States against Steven Luevano. And, few American fans are familiar with Dib outside of the Luevano bout.
John makes $500,000 a fight in his native Indonesia. A fee of $700,000 would be required for a unification in the United States or Dib's backyard of Australia.
"Because what does Billy Dib bring to the table?," Lewkowicz said.. "I really like the guy but he means absolutely nothing here in America. He talks about changing his style, of becoming more exciting, but you can't take the stripes from a zebra. It's why networks like HBO won't touch him. If Billy beats Chris it means everything to him. But if Chris beats Billy ... with all respect it means absolutely nothing."
"So if Team Dib want us in their backyard it'll require a lot more than [500,000]. Unfortunately the only fighters who make that sort of money in Australia are named Green and Mundine. But let's wait and see what they come up with. Billy knows my number."
Dib's manager, Michael Karagiannis, rejected the idea of paying John $700,000 and won't even match the champions usual purse of $500,000.
"Where else has Chris John got to go?" Karagiannis asked. "He says Billy is a nothing proposition yet Billy has the IBF belt. It won't happen for $700,000. Won't happen for $500,000. But does Chris want to retire with one belt or will he have a go at winning two?"
