To all ,who/m. t may concern:
Be it known thatLBENGrM. W. HANsoN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and resident of Hartford,T county of Hartford, State of Connecticut, have' invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal -Working Machines, of which the following is a -specication The present 4invention relates to metalv working machines, andv has particular reference to a machine for generating or operating upon serratedor toothed members.
As an instance of a use to which the machine forming the subject matter of the present invention may be applied, reference may be had to the final finishing operation on the ,serrations or teeth of a jaw or block Ifor gauging threaded members, such, a jawy being villustrated l.and described in my co-pending application S, No. 461,956, filed April 16th, 1921. I desire it, however, to be clearly understood-'that the pr'esent disclosure is by way of exempliication only; that the invention is 'susce tible of various embodiments and modi cation, 4and that the terms here used are merely terms of description and notterms of limitation. It will further` be obvious that many features of construction are'susceptible of modification to suit differ- Aent requirements without departingA fromv thespirit of the invention.
It is the aim of the invention to provide a machine ofthe character described having various features of novelty and advan- Fig. a is a front View of the bed'of the` machine with the front coverremoved andY a portion of the front wall of the bed broken y away so as to show the driving connections,

Fig. 7 is a detail View of the metningy mechanism for the means for moving the work support step by step, and
Fig. 8 is a diagrammatic view illustratino the manner in which a piece to be operated upon isA positioned on the work carrier.
In order that the detailed description of the' construction of the machine and its mode of operation which are to follow may be better understood, a very brief statement of thel general construction and operation of the machine will here be given. The machine is provided with a base a from Vthe rear edge of which arises a standard b on which is mounted, for vertical adjustment,
'a'housingor mounting c for the tool which is here shown as being in theform of a grinding wheel d. e is a truing device carried by the standard b and so arranged that it may be employed for sharpening or resurwheel without disturb-v facing the grindin ing the relation o the wheel to the work. Mounted on ways f on the top of the bed a. is a work carrier or support including a slide or carriage g which'is adapted to be 'indexed or moved step' by step'in accordance with the normal Vdistance between thesuccessive serrations'olr' teeth-on the gauge block to be operated upon. The work support also includes a table h mounted upon the carriage g and reciprocable' at right angles to the indexing movement thereof.
The work to be operated upon is secured on the table h in'any suitable manner; in the present instance` a magnetic chuck v1 being shown for this purpose. The carriage q is indexed through the driving connections which include the escapement ratchet clutch mechanism lc, the Geneva motion device Z andthe train of gearing shown in Fig. 3. The table` k is reciprocated through the driving connections which include the reversing clutch mechanism indicated generally by the letter m and the escapement ratchet clutch mechanism n which controls the reversing clutch m. The escapement ratchet clutch mechanisms 7c and n, as hereinafter described more in detail, are controlled by the movement of the table h..
In Fig. 8, I have shown.I for illustrative purpose,athread gauge block 2c such as the present machine is adapted to operate upon so as to bring the serrations of the block in exact conformity to the groove of a thread of given pitch and diameter. The linear pitch of a thread is measured along a. line parallel to the axis of the screw, and the shortest distance (that is the normal pitch) between successive threads of the screw is less than the linear pitch; that is to say, if the screw thread is 87 pitch, the normal pitch between successive threads is slightly less than one-eighth of an inch. The lead of the thread of a screw and, therefore, its normal pitch, will vary with the linear pitch and the diameter of the thread. This means that when the normal pitch is to be determined, both the linear pitch and the diameter of the screw must be considered. In thejaw block shown in Fig. 8, the edge 10 at the end of the serrations corresponds to a line parallel to the axis of a threaded member and the serrations are spaced along this line in accordance with the linear pitch of the threaded member to be gauged. The normal pitch .is measured along the line 11- 11 which is at right angles to thelength of the serrations. The gauge block, as shown, is positioned on the work table with its serrations parallel to the edge of the grinding wheel and the line of movement of the work table. The carriageg with the work,
table and the work thereon .is indexed on a line at right angles to the length of the serrations so as to bring the successive grooves into proper alinement with the grinding wheel. In order to relieve the operator setting up the machine from making calculations to determine the extent to which the carriage g should be moved to properly index it (and which calculations, as stated, would have to take into account the lead of the serration as well as the linear pitch thereof), I provide in series one set or train of interchangeable gears for taking care of the linear pitch of the serrations and a second set or train of interchangeable gears for compensating for the difference between the linear and normal pitches, all as hereinafter described more in detail. p
ln operation, the table is advanced and returned on a straight line while the tool is operatingr on the work, and after the work has clearedD the tool and while the table is finishing its return stroke and-starting on its next forward stroke, the carriage g is indexed so that by the time the work is again brought` up to the tool it is moving in a straight linc with the next groove in alinement with the tool. Thus it will be seen that the work is indexed while it is being moved away from and up to the tool. The indexing movement of the work is brought about with a smooth movement, free from jars or vibrations, and with every assurance of uniformity and accuracy.
Referring now more in detail to the construction of the machine, 25 designates a drive shaft journaled in the rear wal'l of the bed a and having a pulley 26 for a belt 27 which also passes about a pulley on the grinding wheel spindle 28 and a pulley 29 journaled in the free end of a lever 30 pivoted at its other end on a shaft 25. `With this arrangement, it will be seen that the housing c carrying the grinding wheel spindle may be vertically adjusted on the standard?) as by means of a handle 31 operatively connected to the housing in any suitable manner. The
The table h is reciprocated through the I following driving connection. Secured to the left hand end of the main shaft 36 is a spiral gear 37 meshing with a gear 38 on a shaft 39 on which is splined a bevel gear 40 meshing with a like gear 43 splined on ya longitudinally shiftable shaft 44 on which the reversing mechanism m is mounted. This mechanism includes a pair of opposed bevel gears 45 loose on the shaft 44 and meshing with a common bevel gear 46 operatively connected to a shaft 47 having a pinion 48 meshing with a longitudinally extending rack 49 on the under surface of the table it. The gears 40, 43, 45, 46 and the shaft 47 are journaled, against endwise movement, in bearings provided in a part 50 fixed to, so as to move, with the carriage g, the top wall of the bed a being slotted as at 51 to accommodate this part 50. Secured to each gear 45 is a clutch member 54 and fixed to the shaft 44 are clutch members 55, one for cooperation with each clutch member 54; Une of the clutch members 55 is provided with a'ring 56 secured to a fork power is transmitted from the shaft 25 through the gearing 34 and to withdraw the table.

After the disk 129 has started its rotary movement, a land 130 will ride from beneath the roller 131 so that the pin 127 will ride on ythe periphery of the disk 129, and when this disk has made one complete revolution, the pin 127 will drop back into the notch 128 insuring that the disk`129 together with the shaft 112 and the parts driven therethrough will always stop in the same position which meansthat the carriage g and the work thereon will be moved exactly the same extent each time they are indexed, f A
As has been previously stated, the gauge block is so positioned on the table that it is indexed at right angles to the length of serrations, that' is along the line of normal pitch. The normal pitch is less than the linear pitch of the serrations, the diiierence depending upon the angle of lead. In order to make the setting up ofthe machine as simple as possible, to avoid the necessity of making calculations, and so as to eliminate any chance of error, the present machine is provided between the shaft 112 and the lead screw 116 with two sets of interchangeable gears; one set (comprising the gears 113, b, etc.) being arranged to take care of the linear pitch and the other set (comprising the gears 115, b, etc.) which is in series with the first set, being arranged to compensate for the diil'erence between the linear pitch and the normal pitch. In actual practice, a plurality of interchangeable gears for each set or train Will be provided, and these gears will bear suitable indicia or numbers to indicate in what combinations they should be used to eiect the desired indexing movement of the Work.. The gears 113", b, etc. and 115, b, etc. are positioned at the front of the base and enclosed in a swinging cover 135 hinged as at 136 so these gears may be readily changed. The two sets of gears 113", b, etc. and 115, b, etc. lare connected by the gears 114, b, etc. which may be interchangeable if desired.
lThe escapement ratchet clutch mechanism Z: of the means for moving the carria e step by step, as just described, is control d by the reciprocatin4 movement of the table 7u through the fol owing mechanism: On the outer end of the longitudinally movable rod 100 carrying the escapement yoke 99, is a collar 150 with which cooperates one arm of a bell crank 151, the other arm of this'bell crank being connected by a link 152 to an arm 153 fixed to a stud 154 journaled in a bearing 155 rovided in a bracket 156 secured to the ront of the base. Fixed to the stud 154is a second arm 157 carrying in its free end a follower pin 158 which engages in a cam groove 159 of a cam plate 160 fixed to a. shaft 161 journaled4 agalnst longitudinal movement'm the bracket 156. In they present instance the cam` groove 159 is in the form/of a mu1ti-pointed star, each point, designatedby the numeral 159', being of like configuration `and having its opposite sides or portions of like len h and inclination relative to the radii 'o the cam plate 160. The shaft 161 extends along the side .edge of the carriage g and is supported by a bracket 162 fixed to the carriage g and having sliding relation to the shaft 161. Supported in the bracket 162 so as to move with the carriage g,and keyed to the shaft 161, is a ratchet vwheel 163 with which cooperates a pawl 164 ivoted to an arm 165 journaled on the sha t 161. The number of teeth on this ratchet wheel corresponds to the number Aof rises and falls of the cam groove 159. The arm 165 is normally held in raised position by a spring pressed plunger 168 so that an inclined surface 166 on this arm normally liesin the path of a dog 167 secured to the table h. The pawl 164 is held in engagement with the ratchet 163 by a spring pressed plunger 169 carried by the arm 165. It will be seen that each time the table la reaches the end of its return stroke, the dog 167 will depress the arm 165 and through the ratchet rotate the shaft 161 and the cam wheel 169y thereon a distance equalto one half of a star point 159', Whereupon the yoke 99 is shifted permitting the shaft to make ahalf revolution. It will be seen that by manually depressing the arm 165 the correct. number of times the carriage may be indexed to any desired position although the table is not being reciprocated.
For the purpose of permitting of manual movement of the carriage, either while the table is at rest or in motion, means is Aprovided (see Fig. 5a) for disconnecting the Geneva motion device from the train of gears between this device and the lead screw 116 for the carriage g. ln the presentinstance the gear 113 is fixed to the shaft 112, the outer end of which is squared as at 112 for the reception of a handle. The gear 111 which meshes with the large gear 110 of the Geneva motion device is hxed to a sleeve 171 loose on the shaft 112. This sleeve carries the disk 129 having a flange provided lWith a single notch or recess 172 in which is adapted to engage a finger 173 pivoted intermediate its endsto a plate 174 fixed to the shaft 112. The finger is normally urged into the notch 172 by a spring pressed plunger 175. The linger 173 is swung out of the notch 172 by manually pulling 17,6 connected to a lever 177 pivoted as at 178 and carrying a projection 179 abuttin against the tail end of` the finger 173 and opposed to the spring pressed lunger 175. It will be seen lthat when the Enger 173 is thus disengaged from the notch in the disk 129 the shaft 112 isdisengaged from the Geneva motion device and'may be manually out a rodl llO l in the same relation.
"For the purpose of automatically stopping the machine when the operation upon the work is completed, that is, after all serrations on the ,gauge block operated upon have been successively ground, the following arrangement is provided: Journaled in suitable brackets 180 Von the right hand vend .of the base (referring to Figs. 2, 4, and6,
for instance) vis a shaft 181 carrying an adjustable collar 182provided with a radially extending 'linger 183 with which a dog-184 adjustably secured .to the right hand end of the table g is adapted to cooperate when the grinding operation on the work is completed. Rocking movement of the shaft 1-81 is transmitted by an arm 186 fixed thereto '181 as by anda link 187 to a lever 188, the free end 189 of which when .lowered into the path of .movement of the pawl'67 of the ratchet clutch mechanism m is adapted to trip the Same. When the p'awl is thus tripped the ratchet clutch mechanism stops in such Apositionthat the reversing mechanism m 1s 1n neutral position. For the purpose of holding the llever 188 in engagement with` the pawl 67 the shaft 181 carries a disk 192' rovided with an eccentricallyl disposed re 193, in which is mounted a spring pressed plunger 195 adaptedlto engage in a bore 194in the bracket 180 when the shaft181 is rocked by the engagement of the dog 184 Withl the linger ofthe collar 182.'v When it is desired to throw the machine into opera-A tion the plunger 195 is withdrawn from the bore 194 by pulling out on a knob 196 se` cured to the plunger 195,- whereupon the spring pressed Yplunger 190 will raise the lever 189 out of en agement with the pawl 6.7. Furthermore, t e power may be thrown voli" the machine at any time during the operation upon the work by rotating the shaft means of ahandle 197 secured to the disk 192; Also, the 'reversing clutch m means of a handle 198 secured to the sha `58 which carries the clutch fork 57,.
. In setting up the machine, a piece of work is positioned upon the chuck with the serrav tions of the chuck parallel to the edge of the "nding wheel and the line vof reciprocaloln of the table h. Tolthis end, a work positioning device such as shownv in Fig. 8 .may be provided.` This device is in the Storm of a pivoted vmember 200.havin a straight edge 201` aga-inst which the e e ofthe work lis adapted to engage anda sc e niark 202 cooperating with a scale 203 on the top of the chuck. For the 'convenience of the operator of |the machine a table of calculations (notshown) may be provided to indicate. what the setting of the work positioning device 200 should be for gauge blocks having serra'tions of different pitches and leads. Also, in setting up the machine the operator, for the reasons heretofore' mediate set 114, 11421143, so that in eiect these three trains of gears are a sin le train leading from the Geneva motion the lead screw 116 for the carriage. The difference ,between the normal pitch and the linear pitch of the serrations, andfwhich difference the set of gears 115, 115", 115, compensates for, is indicated as at 205 of Fig. 8. The operator will now properly set the dogs -on the tableI and carriage, and in doing this may manually move the carriage' and table by turning the shafts-112 and 86, respectively.
In operation, the table will advance on its forward stroke moving the first serration' of Ythe gauge block into engagement with the grinding wheel, and at the end` of the forward stroke of the table the'dog 83 will engage the finger or -trip 82, and -through the rod 79 and lever 74 the escapement yoke 70 will be shifted' whereupon'the cam 66 is rotated through an angle of 180, the result being that one set of clutch members 54, 55.0f the reversing clutch mechanism will be engaged and the other set will be disengaged, thus changing the direction of movement of the table. The table, on its return movement, andwhile the tol is in evice to y same line as on its forward movement.
167 will engage the arm 165 causing the cam plate 160 to rotate through a-distance equal to one side of a. star point thereof,
` andthrough the connections described, shift the yoke 99 of the esca ement clutch mechanism through which t e carriage g is 1n- `dexed. When this yoke is shifted the cam disk 105 will make a half revolution andthrough' the Geneva motion device and the tate the lead screw through an an le which will index the carri e seas to ring the second serration of t e giunge block. intov n in \ After the work has cleared-the tool, the dog train of gears which this device drives, ro'
trolling the indexing means for the carriage, the dog 84 will engage the finger 82 Y whereupon the escapement clutch mech- "anism n is again actuated to reverse the direction of movement of the table. It will be seen that the indexing movement of the lcarriage takes place during the time that the table is completing its return stroke and 'starting on its forward stroke, this indexing lever 188.
The truing device e and the manner in which it operates will now be described. As previously stated, this truing device is so arranged that it may be employed for sharpening or resurfacing the grinding wheel without disturbing the relation of the wheel to the work. Referringto Figs. 1 and 2, where the truing device is most clearly shown, 215 designates. a bracket mounted 'for vertical adjustment on the standard b and having a segmental plate 216 to which is pivoted, by means of a pivot pin 217, a carriage 218. The axis of the carriage,
namely the pin 217, is at right angles to the axis ot the grinding wheel and lies in a plane including the edge of the grinding wheel. 219 is a vertical shaft journaled in the carriage 218 and with its axis at right angles to that of the pivot pin 217 about which the carriage turns. Mounted in the arm 220 of the shaft 219 is a sharpening tool 222, shown as a diamond point which is well adapted for resurfacing the grinding wheel. For the purpose of properly ad- 'usting the diamond point, a gauge 223 may e provided, this gauge, in the present instance, being in the form of a yoke pivoted to the arm 220 so that it may be thrown up out of the position shown when the grindingwheel is to be resurfaced. For the purpose of indexing the diamond point to the proper position relative to any one of the faces of the grinding wheel` the segmental plate 216 is notched as at 225 to receive a spring pressed plunger 226 mounted on the carriage. The position of the notches 225 will, of course, vary in accordance with the angle of the thread to be cut.' It will be noted that the grinding wheel. when it is adapted to resurface the same, is moved in the plane in which it rotates and the truing device, though adjustable, is for practical `purposes fixed to the bed of the machine imanes and, therefore, has a predetermined relation to the work carried by the table. Since the grinding wheel is movable only in one direction to and from the truin device, the alinement of the truing device and the wheel is never changed, thus the wheel may be resurfaced as many times as may be necessary and it is always certain that when it is brought back into contact with the work its shape and relationship thereto is unchanged from the original setting.
