or CLEVELAND, OHIO, A 00320- Toall whom it may concern:
Be it known'that I, HENRY G. 110011, a
' citizen of the United States, residin at Windsor, county of Windsor, State of mont, have'invented a certalnnew and .useful Improvement in Profiling Machines, of
which the following is a specification, ref-,
erence being, had therein to the accompanying. drawings.
This invention relates to profiling machines of the class adapted to remove portions of the surfaces of solid objects. latcs especially to a machine for forming oil grooves of any desired confi uration on theinner surface of substantia ly semicylindrical bearings.
One object of the invention is to construct a profiling machine which will reproduce the surface reliefs or elevations and face'of a work blank. j I Another object of the invention is to construct a simple, improved machine for accurately reproducing the surface grooves of a master plate on the surface ,of work blanks. Another object of the invention is to construct an improved machine for accurately, quickly and cheaply forming grooves of various configurations in the inner sur face of substantially semicylindrical bearin s.
another object is to construct an improved profiling machine for forming grooves in the lnner surfaces of substantially semicylindrical bearings of various SIZeS- Another object is to construct an im-. proved profiling machine for forming depressions in the inner surface of .semicylindrical objects ofIrelatively small diameters. Another object is to devise a new and improved means of mounting and actuating the cutting tool of a profiling machine of the class described. a Another object is to devise a new and improved means for mounting and connecting a source of power with the cutting tool of aprofiling machine of the class described.
Other objects more or less intimately re.- lated'to these objects will be pointed out in the following specification.
To disclose my invention so that it may be easily understood by those skilled in the art, I have chosen to describe inrdetail a It rev arrows.
specific form ofmachine made in accord-.
ance' with the principles of my invention and to illustrate, the various parts of this machine in the accompanying drawings which constitute a part of thi -Mi t1on and in'which, r

Fig. 10 shows in' plan view a rod with an eye head and eye 33' forming part of the blank holding device.
The base 1 which may be secured to a table, bench or. other suitable supporting means (not shown) carries on its upper surface a block 2, a cross slide 3, and two vertical brackets 4.
The block 2 is accurately positioned on base 1' by .dowel pins 5 which extend into holes 6-in the blockfand is secured in position by bolts 7. A master block 8 seats on the upper surface of block 2, being accurately positioned relative to block 2 and the other parts of the machine by registering dowel pin 9and hole 9*, and a groove 2 in which a portion of block 8 has a close fit. Screws 10 pass through block 2 and hold ,-.block 8 in place. The master block 8 has its upper surface shaped and grooved or otherwise formed to conform to the shape Fig. 4 but withmounting shown in Figs. 4

This: shaft maybe made in one to register with grooves 8 formed in the "mastel block. .A hand grip 56 of wood, or vother suitable material may be fastened to the free end of rod 52 v for easy manipulation of rod 52.
=At a'point which is between the uprights when the shaft is in its normal position, 52 is provided with a diametrical circular bore 57, having enlarged ends 57.
right angles. to bore 57, a substantially rec-. tangular diametrical slot 58 is formed.
Grooves 59 extend from slot 58 to the free end of shaft 52". a c
A spindle 60 is rotatably mounted in bore 57. Antifriction means cooperating with spindle 60 may consist of bearmgs, comprising a race 61, located in each opening 57 a and balls 61* interposed between the races and a shoulder -62 at one end of spindle 60, and
a tapered nut 63 suitably secured at the I *otherend thereof. A washer 64 and a nut 66"" or other means. that various types and sizes of cutters may be employed, as, desired for different sized- 65 serve to retain the spindle and its antifriction means in position in the'shaft 52.
blanks or bearings and grooves.
- veniently be carried by In assembling spindle '60, the shank is passed thru the boreof a pulley 67 haying a grooved outer surface 67 located in slot 58. The pulley may be secured to the spindle as by a set screw 68 or in any other suitable manner. By means of a belt 69 running in grooves 59 and connecting the pulley with a source of power later to be described, the cutter is rotated and caused to cut the surface of work blanks brought into' engagement therewith.
A source of power for the cutter may conthe free end of rod 52 As is shown, a flat base member 70 has an uprighti71 bored to receive the end of rod 52 to which it is secured by a pin 72 passing thru the upright 71 and a slot 73 near the end of rod 52. Grooved face pulleys 74 are mounted on pins 75 in upright 71 so as to run within grooves 59in rod 52 and to engage with belt 69.
A source of power, such as an electric motor 7 6, is mounted on an arm 77 which has pivotal engagement with base 70. A
stop screw 78 and post 78, and aspring 79 serve to adjust and maintain the arm 77 in any desired position. A grooved pulley 80 is attached to the rotating axle of the the motor and carries the belt 69, which serves to transmit rotational motion of the motor to the cutting tool 66.
To counter balance the weight of the motor 76, base 7 0, and other parts which may project on one side of rod 52, a counterweight 81 may be adjustably attached to the extended end of rod 72 on the side of rod 52 opposite such parts.
In using the above described machine to form oil grooves on. the inner surface of semicylindrical bearings, the apparatus is assembled as shown' in the drawings. master block 8 having an upper curved surface substantially the same as regards size, shape .and grooves, as is desired in the "finished bushing, is mounted where itwill be -in exact alignment with the shaft 52. The tracing pointer 54 is adjusted to or otherwise secured to the.
engage the'groove 8 in the block and is then locked in position by screws 55 and 55.
Next a bearing 42 is placed in the V shaped recesses41of adaptors 24 and guages 43 adjusted to accurately position the bearing. The head 40' is then pulled down to engage the edge of the bearing opposite the guages 43 by adjusting rod 36, nut 38, and bushing '32, and is clamped in position by cam lever 34 pressing on bushing 32.
The bearing having been thus secured in the adaptors, the slide is adjusted on rod 14 so that when cam lever 20 is moved to clamping position, the bearing will be brought into working position relative to shaft 52 and cutter 66. A cutter 66 of the desired size is secured in spindle 60. The
belt 69 is assembled with pulley 67 on spindle 60, pulley 80 of motor 76, and pulleys '7 4 of upright 71. After arm 77 which bears the motoris properly located with respect to base 70 so as to properly align pulley 80 with pulleys 74 and 67 and to give belt 69 the desired tension the apparatus is ready for operation.
Electrical energy issupplied to motor 76 and the rotational movement thereof transmitted to cutter66. v I
Theslide 3 is. moved forward and locked in the predetermined position which brings the cutter 66 into engagement with bearing 42. By manually sliding and rotating rod Y52 and thus causing pointer 54 to follow grooves 8 in the master block, corresponding grooves will be, traced out and cut on the bearing 42 by cutter 66.
It will be noted that rod 52 is free to rotate'in bushing 50 while the belt 69 is mov iing, due to the location of the belt within the circumference of the rod 52. Furthermore since the motor is mounted for movement with shaft 52, it transmits its rotational motion to the cutter 66 equally well in all positions of the shaft 52 and regardless of the movement of the rod.
After the grooving has been completed and slide 3 retracted by spring 19, the finished bearing may be removed from adaptors 24 by releasing camlever 34 and retracting rod 36 and head 40 after which another bea-ring may be inserted and the operations repeated. I
With bearings having internal diameters .of two inches or more the cutter mounting described above may be employed but when smaller bearings constitute the work blanks, a modified cutter mounting is preferred. Such a mounting is detailed in Fig. 7. Here is shown a smaller rod 85 with a bore 86 and slot 87 and having bearings 89 seated in enlargements 86 of bore 86. A spindle 90 turns on bearings 89, being held in position by pulley 91 secured thereto by a set screw 92. A screw 93 holds a cutting tool 94 in place in spindle 90 while a key and keyway 95 prevent rotation of cutter 94: relative to" spindle 90. Grooves similar to grooves 59, Fig. extend from pulley 91 tothe endof shaft 85. I
It'will be understood that for small bearings asmall shaft, ,a cutter and cuttermountings are needed, and that these parts should be enlarged somewhat when bearings oflarge sizes are to be accommodated. It'is' face equidistant from the center of'the rod' 52, the center is adpated to form grooves of uniform depth in any portion of the bearing surface. When a larger or smaller'bearing is tobe grooved it is placed on the \I- shaped edges of the adaptors and the slide 3 is adjusted on rod 14 so that the center of. curvature of the .bearing'surface coincides with the center of the shaft, when the slide ;is clamped in working position.
It is necessary, however; to use a cutter having a cutting head and shank of suf-. ficient length to engage the bearing blank and toform grooves or depressions of'the desired depth and size therein. ,.With the exception of this one replaceable unit the apparatus is equipped to form grooves ofumform depth in bearings of many dlfi'erent sizes.
While" I have'described in detail the various nartsof a specific apparatus embodying the principles of my invention, and one class of work of which it is capable I do not 'w1sh to be limited thereto, since many modifications of various parts of thedescribed apparatus as well as of the type of work it is capable of performing can be made w thout departure from the scope of the lnvention as. defined in what is claimed.
