CUTLERY-GRINPING MTACHINE.
Application filed September 27, 1921. Serial N0. 503,578.
Tocll'whomizfmay concern: I
, Be it known that we, FRANK P. HEMMING and CARL H. IIEMMING, citizens of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Cutlery-Grinding chines; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains, to make and use the same.
This invention relates to certain improvements in cutlery grinding machines. In carrying out the invention, certain well known elements relating .to machines of this character are employed, such, for instance, as an emery wheel, preferably of the hollow or cup shaped type, rotatably mounted in close proximity to the blade to be ground, said blade being mounted on a holder attached to a reciprocating member having a quick idle movement in one direc tion, 'andaslow' return movement for grinding; also the employment of well. known planet gear mechanism to effect the slow and rapid movement of the reciprocating member.
One of the objects of the present inven-' ported carriage, said carriageadapted to:
have a movementto and from the grinding wheelv A coarse pitch screw is ournaled in the carriage carrying a nut adapted to,
engage with adjustable mechanism on the underside of the sliding plate to reciprocate said plate. At the termination oi? the quick idle travel of the sliding plate it is l1]'l})l-' live that it be brought firmly against a stop in order to positively locate the shoulder o'lv the knife blade with respect to the grinding wheel. For this purpose, the nut allowed an idle travel beyond the predetermined p p shaft 5 carrying the emery grinding wheel idle travel of the slide, and a reverse idle travel while the carriage is being moved toward the grinding wheel.
Another improved feature consists in assembling the planet gear mechanism within a pulley, and mounting the pulley on the shaft of the slide actuating screw to serve both as a driving pulley and a balance wheel to maintain a steady and continuous rotation of the screw. 1
Referring to the accompanying drawings wherein the same reference characters in dicate like parts throughout the several views:
, Figure 1 represents a plan view of the machine showing the carriage in its outer position with respect to the grinding wheel, and the sliding plate located at the termination of the idle travel, also sectional view of the handle lever;
Figure 2 is aside elevation of the ma chine looking in the direction of arrow a, Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a view of the machine looking in the direction of arrow 7), Figure 1.;
1F igure 4 is a plan view of the carriage with the sliding plate removed, also seetional view of the driving and loose pulleys mounted on the screw shaft, and sectional view of the handle lever;
Figure 5 is a detail elevation of the driv ing pulley and planet gear mechanism with the loose pulley removed;
Figure 6 is a broken view of the neck of the carriage andscrew shaft, and sectional view of the driving pulley with the loose pulley removed, showing the planet gear mechanism in position for a slow return movement of the sliding plate to grind;
Figure 7' is a detail inside view of the sliding plate;
Figure 8 is a sectional view of the sliding platoon line 8, 8, of Figure 7, and broken view of the sliding plateactuating screw, and i v 7 Figure 9 is a broken view of the slide actuating nut, part of the slide mechanism, full view of the follower and its siiipport showing the roller carried by the nut "forced to oneside to permit the return of the carriage,
The principal common features incidental to machines of this character comprise the bed 1., slide 2, adjusting screw 3 therefor, slide standards 4 in which is journaled the 6, and the tight and loose pulleys 7 and 7 8 is a plate adapted to be set at any angle with respect to the grinding wheel and is secured in any of its adjusted positions by means of the bolts 9 projecting from the bed 1.
The carriage 10 is provided with the foot 11 pivotally supported at one corner on the stud 121, Figure 3, of the base plate 8 and it projects through the huh 13, Figures 1 and 4, of the carriage foot 11.
The shaft ends 14, 15, of the screw 16 are journaled, Figure4, in the ends oi the carriage. The latter shaft carrying the driving pulley 17 with its internal planet gear mechanism and. adjacent-clutch mechanism, pi'esefntly tohe more fully described.
17% is. a loose pulley adjacent to pulley 17. 18 is a nut operatively mounted on the screw 16 having the lug 1-9'adapted to effect a longitudinal reciprocating movement of the sliding plate 20,1nounted on the oar-1 riage, by its contact with'the adjustahle r od 21, Figuresi and 8,,mounted. in the bracket 22, and the rod- 23 01% the bracket 24 located in alignment; {with the rod 21. 253isa sprang on rod? 23; adaptedv tohecompressedthrough;

The pulley 17, Figures 4, 5, and 6, has the arm 37 journa-led 'on the shaft end 15 of screw 16', The gear 38 is fast-to.

Theopera'tion of the machine is as, f0llowscv 1 'At the terminationyof the forward idle travel; of the sliding plate 20,. the, lug 60, Figure 7, oil the plateshould be" forcibly brought against: the stop 61, Figure- 4, of
the carriage-10. 'Ihis; stop is. intended to locate the posit'ioni ot'the: shoulder; of a;
knife blade with respect to-the= corner of the grinding wheeL so' that the corner: of
the wheel will always engagea'said shoul der before the grindingoperation of the nest of. the blade begins. I
There are, however, several causes: operatingto pizevent thepositive contact of the lugg 60 with the stop" 61, suc hyfor. instance,
as. the lost motion due to the wear of the mechanism for actuatingthe reciprocating slide, or undue tlghtness; or lack of lulorication of the slide willcause' it to lag he hind and fall short of the proper halting point. i
To insure-positive engagement of the slide wlth the carriage stop, thenut 18* of the screw will continue its inwardwtravel beyond the prcdeteninined travel of the slide, and, n doing so, will compress the spring. 25, Figure 8, through; the medium of the lug 19 of. the; nut, as before mentioned. DUPlnglJlHS spring oompnession, the trip 62,
carried by thebracket 30- of the nutQFig ure 4, will engage the adjustablestop 630'11 rodi 54 to;reverse' said rod and engage the clutchpins 49, 50, 'ior apre'limin'airy slow idle reverse-travel of thenut. i
. This idle reverse movement of the not will bring theroll 34 first in Contact with the incline 64 oi the former- 35. As the roller ls-moved up thisincline, it crowds the carri e'e" 10* gradually towarchthie grinding wheel in the direction of'arrow 0, Figure 1, which graduahmovement of the carriage is essential Where a large amount of stock has to" be removed from a blade, as it en j ables the gnin'dingwheel to gradually Work its way to the proper "depth into the stock of the blade" without apparent injury to the sharp cornei o'l"the-wheel, result that could not be obtained were the carriage suddenly thrown its ultimate distance at once.
As soon as the roll 34 has reached the straight face 35 of the former, the idle travel of the nut will cease, and its lug 19 will contact with the rod 21 of the slide and carry said slide slowly back during the grinding operation, and when said grinding operation is completed, the trip 62 will contact with the adjustable stop 65 and halt the travel of the nut by the disengagement of the clutch pins l9, 50. Before this tripping is effected, the adjustable rod 66, Figure 9, of the carriage will contact with the roll carrying lever 31 and throw the roll out of vertical alignment with the bracket 30 so that the carriage may be returned against the adjustable stop screw 67 by the spring 68 located between the projection 69 of the stationary plate 8, and the projection 70 of the carriage foot 11, as shown more clearly in Figures 1 and 2. As grinding wheels vary in texture, it is iecessary that a soft or semispongy wheel remain in operation longer at the shoulder of the blade before the slide has started slowly back, than would be required of a wheel of harder texture. This idle travel of the nut is regulated in accordance with the texture of the grinding wheel by means of the adjusting rod 2]. of the slide. In other words, the distance between the inner end of the rod Ql and the lug 19 of the nut is increased or decreased to give a longer or shorter idle travel to the nut before its lug 19 contacts with said rod to effect the reverse movement of the sliding plate 20.
The face 55 of the former is shown as a straight surface, for the purpose of grinding the straight faces of cutlery blades, but it will be understood that any irregular shaped article can be ground on this machine by simply changing the contour of the former, to correspond to such irregular articles.
