Amsted Industries, Inc. owned South Bend Lathe Works.
This invention relates to machine tools, such as lathes, and more particularly to mechanisms associated with such machine tools and used for directional feed selection of component parts thereof. In the past it has been common practice to provide various mechanisms to selectively position gear trains in forward, reverse, or neutral position as related to the directional travel of a carriage upon the bed of a lathe. However, such positioning devices have proved not to be entirely satisfactory, in most cases, because of excessive fractional wear occurring between members of the gear positioning parts. Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide a mechanism, which will properly position a selector gear in engagement with a cooperating, driving gear. Another object is to provide a mechanism, which will not only properly position a selector gear but also function to maintain said gear in its proper position.
A further object is to provide a mechanism, which will accommodate the movement of, said selector gear to various index positions.
