Abstract:
My invention relates to machinery for dressing anti polishing shafting and other cylindrical bodies; and it consists in a variety of features and details hereinafter set forth, the essential elements being, however, a grinding-wheel, (or series of such wheels), each provided with a guide to extend to and hear upon the side of the cylinder opposite that at which the grinding-wheel operates, the wheel and guide being free to move in unison to adapt themselves to irregularities or eccentricity of the shaft, and a spring or weight acting constantly to urge the grinding-wheel away from the shaft or cylinder under operation to the limit allowed by the guide, or, in other words, to press the guide against the shaft, the wheel and guide maintaining at all times a fixed relation.
Claim:
In a machine for finishing shafting, the combination of a grinding-wheel and a support therefor, a spring arranged to act upon said support to urge the grinding-wheel away from the shaft, a support for said spring, a gage arranged to bear against the shaft at a point on the opposite side from that at which the grinding-wheel operates, a supp)ort for said gage, and connecting-rod extending from the grinding-wheel support to the gage-support. |
