CUTTING MECHANISM.
Application filed June 27, 1910.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDMUND C. MORGAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Morgan Park, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cutting Mechanism, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in cutting mechanisms, especially adapted for cutting metal, wood, or other materials, and has for its primary object to provide an improved construction, combination and arrangement of parts in devices of this nature.
More specifically, the main object of the present invention is to provide an improved cutting mechanism which will be rapid and eflicient in its action.
Another object is to provide improved means for sharpening the cutters which means will be operative while the machine is in motion, and without removing the cutters from the machine, as also shown by my co-pending application, Serial No. 569,172, in which the means for sharpening the cutter is mounted on the same arm as the cutter itself.
Other and further objects will appear in the specification, and be more specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings exemplifying the invention, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a cutting mechanism provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a section on the line IIIIII of Fig. 1.
Referring more specifically to the exemplification shown in the drawings, the base member 10 of the machine has mounted thereon in any suitable manner, but preferably by being cast integrally therewith, a standard 11, which standard is adapted at its upper end to have the material securely held in suitable position to be operated upon.
Slidably mounted upon the base member 10 is a base frame 12 of a carriage, said carriage being provided with projecting portions 18, 14 and 15. Said projecting portions 14, 15 provide a pair of overhanging bearings for rotatably mounting a shaft 16, said shaft having keyed thereto at its upper end and beneath the overhanging portion of the bearing member 15, a cutter bar 17 having a hub portion 18. The hub portion Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 25, 1915.
Serial No. 569,171.
18 is provided with integral lugs 0r projections 19.
A radially projecting arm or support 20 is pivoted at one end upon the shaft 16 to swing freely about said shaft, and is provided at its outer end with a laterally projecting support 21 having a vertically projecting pin 22 which is preferably rigidly secured thereto in any suitable manner. Also mounted on the outer end of the arm 20 and preferably rigidly connected thereto in any suitable manner is an upright journal or shaft 23. Rotatably mounted on said upright shaft 23 is a grinding frame or grinder supporting arm 24 provided with an elongated hub portion 25 having an eccentric portion 26 rigidly connected thereto and preferably cast integrally therewith, the lower face of said eccentric 26 being in slidable engagement with the upper face of the arm 20.
Cast integrally with the grinding frame 24 is a segmental friction wheel or cam 27, with which is rigidly connected a hand lever 28 whereby its movement may be controlled.
A flexible connection or spring 29 is connected at one end to the vertical pin 22, and at its other end to the hand lever 28 in such a way as to impart to the grinder arm 24 a tendency to rotate in a counter clock-wise direction.
A reciprocable rod or latch 80, which is slidably mounted upon the arm 20, is adapted to be engaged at its inner end by either one of the lugs 19 on the hub portion 18 of the cutter bar 17, so as to force the swinging arm 20 to travel with the cutter bar during certain periods, in which it is desired to grind the cutters.
In order to provide suitable grinding means, the grinder-bearing arm or frame 24 is provided with radially projecting arms or cheeks 31, 31, in which is mounted a spindle 32 having keyed thereto a grinder wheel 33, which, when the parts are in the posi tion shown in Fig. 2, is pressed resiliently against the outer end of the cutter bar 17 by the spring 29.
Keyed to the other end of the spindle is a friction wheel 34, which is in frictional engagement with a second friction wheel 35 journaled upon the elongated hub portion 25 of the grinder frame 24. The friction wheel 35 is provided with an offset integral wheel portion 86, which is in frictional engagement with an arcuate cam bar 58 forming the upper end of the projecting portion 13 of the base member 12 of the carriage. The outer end of the latch or bar 30 is provided with a rectangular loop (see Fig. 3),
I extends in a spiral about the bearing boss of the support 14, is connected at one end to a boss or lug 40 depending from the swinging arm 20, and at its other end is secured to the boss of said support 14. Said spring 39 is so connected as to press the arm 20 resiliently against the lug 38 on the bearing support 15 when it is not forced therefrom'by the cutter bar 17.
Keyed to the lower end of the shaft 16 is a bevel gear 41 with which meshes a bevel pinion 42 rigidly secured in any suitable manner to the shaft 43 of a motor 44.
Pivotally mounted at 45 upon the projecting portion 13 of the base member 12 is a resiliently mounted arm or lever 46, which projects substantially vertically and is provided with an inwardly projecting portion 47 for carrying a cam bar 48 with which the segmental cam 27 of the grinder arm 24 is in frictional engagement at certain portions of the movement of the swinging arm 20.
In order to provide for a resilient pressure between the segmental cam 27 and the cam bar 48, the lever 46 is forced resiliently toward the projecting portion 13 by means of a spring 49 carried by a projecting pin 50 threaded at its outer end to receive a nut 51 which holds the spring 49 in position by a washer 52 interposed therebetween. Crank arm 53 on the outer end of a screw feed 54, which is rotatably mounted in a bearing or boss 55, serves to feed the carriage to and from the work-supporting standard 11 by having its inner threaded end 56 threaded within the base member 12 of said carriage.
The operation of the device will now be understood. The swinging arm or support 20 is normally held in initial position adjacent the bearing member 15 by means of the spring 39 and with a lug 57 formed on the projection 21 of said swinging arm 20 bearing against the lug 38 on said bearing member 15. WVhen one of the lugs 19 engages the inner end of the latch or bar 30, the swinging arm 20 is forced from its'initial position around into the position shown in Fig. 2. During this swinging movement, the friction wheel portion 36 of the friction wheel 35 is brought into engagement with the segmental cam bar 58 by means of which the friction wheel 35 is rotated and drives the friction wheel 34, thus rotating the grinder wheel 33, while it is held against the cutter by the spring 29, as shown in Fig. 2. Simultaneously the eccentric cam 26 is being rotated (see Fig. 3) to reciprocate the bar or latch 30 until shortly after the parts have assumed the position shown in'Fig. 2, when said bolt or latch 30 is withdrawn from engagement with the lug 19 and permits the cutter bar 17 to rotate past the swinging arm 20. Near the end of the swinging movement of the arm 20, the segmental cam 27 of the grinder arm 24 frictionally engages the cam bar 48, which causes the grinder arm 24 to swing the grinder wheel 33 out of the pathof the cutter bar 17 Immediately thereafter, the parts resume their normal initial position under the action of the spring 39, which returns the arm 20 to initial position, and the spring 29, which returns the grinder arm 24 to initial position.
