My invention relates to improvements in washing ball-bearings, involving the use of a flow of oil under pressure, and the object of my improvement is simplicity and economy in construction and convenience and efliciency in use by the use of a machine having a revolving table structure having aplurality of stations at which the washin is eifected and by means that are substantially automatic, whereby the duties of the operator are confined to the removal of the washed bearings and supplying the bearings to be washed.

Figure 9 is a side elevation showing one of the lower clamping members.
My improvement in washing ball-bearings involves the use Of! machine that is equipped with a pluralitvgof "pairs of mating clamping members thathold the bearings byengaging respectively with the inner and the outer rings; that is supplied with a flow of cleansing oil under pressure; that has means for separating said members for permitting of the removal of the washed bearing and the insertion of anotherbearing that isto washed; that has automatically operating means for engaging the inserted bearing and for holding the same during the washing operation; such engagement and holding of the bearing involving the utilization of the oil flow and the pressure to which it is pump 69. receives the cleansing oil through the base 22.
' Above the supply pipe 71 the tank 21 is provided with a discharge opening 72 that subjected during such flow; and in which the clamping members are constructed and arranged for operation upon bearings that vary apprecia ly in size so that the range thereof will comprise, substantially that which will be included in the standard run and out-put as usually found under ordinary conditions of manufacture. a The machine comprises, as shown, eighteen pans of clamping members, respectively composed of the lower member 10 and the upper member 11. The lower member 10 has a conical face 12 for the major portion of the structure of the clamping portion proper or engaging portion and which is adapted to receive and support the inner ring of the bearing by being entered into the opening therein and which conical face 12 suflices for the greater portion of the product. For particularly diminutive bearings,- -however, a cylindrical tip 13 is provided at the apex of the conical face 12.
The upper member 11 is generally the counter-part of the lower member 10 as to the clamping portion proper or engaging portion 14, being generally in the form of a hollov cane. b b
ai u er mem er operates y engaging with the dizter ring and the holding is effected automatically responsive to the pressure of the cleansing oil as it is delivered to and passes through the machine.
The clamping members are incorporated in the structure of turn-table 15, the middle member or shaft 16 of which is in the form of 85 a tube of relatively large size and through which the cleansing oil flows intermediate a pump and said clamping members. A centrifugal pump 69 gives good results. Said a receiving pipe 70 and delivers the same through a pipe 71 to the housing and supporting tank 21, the delivery being located at the lower portion of the tank, adjacent serves as the outlet for the used oil or other cleansing liquid.
The clamping members are supported from 1 the tube 16 by a spider construction having 'arms for the respective clamping members per end of the tank 21 is a seat 24 for a ballbearing 25 that serves asthe main bearing for the tube 16 and the turn-table 15.
The lower end portion 26 of the tube .16 is connected by a gland-joint 27 with a fixed sleeve 28 that projects unwardly from the base 22 and whichby means of a laterally directed opening is connected with the inner end of the tank-enclosed portion 29 of the pump delivery pipe 71.
Power is applied through the medium of bevel-gearing 30 at the inner end of a driveshaft 31, the outer end portion of which is operatively connected by suitable gearing 32 with the motor 33.
Thus the upper clamping member 11 is supported for vertical to and fro movement toward and away from the clamping position and is adapted to be driven towards such clamping position and to eflect a hold on the bearing after gripping the same by the liquid pressure under conditions of oil flow by reason of the excess of area of the piston 38 relatively to the bore of the tubular stem 39.
The lifting of the upper clamping member 11 for releasing the bearing is effected through the medium of a track-cam orriser 41 that, as shown, cooperates with a contacting roller 42 that is operatively supported from the side of the stem 39 through the medium of a bracket 43.
The cam 41 has an inclined portion 44 on the approach side; has an abrupt drop portion 45 on the leaving side; and intermediate said sides has a flat portion 46 on which the roller 42 rides during the period in which the washed bearing is removed and the un-washed bearing is supplied.
In the present structure the flat holding portion 46 corresponds in length to the angle comprised by two adjacent cleansing stations.
During the period that a particu ar upper clamping member 11 is held out'of commission as a clamping device in the manner described the flow of oil to the same is interrupted.
The manner of doing this comprises the use of a valve 47 that covers the corresponding outlet opening 48 at the upper end portion 35 of'the main tube 16. The interior of said upper end portion 35 is finished in cylindrical form for serving as a path for face-to-face contact with the valve 47. As the tube structure 16 is rotated the valve 47 is brou ht successively into registration with the di erent outlet openings 48, the border walls of which serve as valve seats.
As mentioned, two cleansing stations are shut-ofl' at a time, thevalVe 47 being of suf ficient angular extent to cover two adjacent delivery openings 48 of clamping members 11 above the cam portions 44 and 46.
Incorporated in the structure of the valve 47 is a plug or bridge plate 49 that extends across the top end of the main tube 16, said valve 47 and plate 49 being parts of a single casting '50.
The casting 50 is held in place by means of a rod 51 that extends downwardly therefrom and is axially positioned within the main tube 16. The bottom end of the rod 51 is entered into a boss or socket 52 at the bottom of the fixed sleeve 28.
The lower clamping member 10 is fixed as to elevation and is mounted for rotation, being provided with a stem 53 that projects downwardly through a bearing housing 54. At the lower end of the stem 53 is a spur gear 55 that serves as the means for effecting rotation, by engaging with a cooperating rack structure.
I prefer to have the rotating means constructed and arranged so as to provide alternate rotation in opposite directions. Means for so doing are provided in the present instance by having said rack structure subdivided, comprising parts on opposite sides of the gear 55. As shown, there are twelve diminutive racks, comprising the outside racks 56 that alternate with the inside racks 57.
As the gear 55 leaves the rack 56 on the outer side it immediately makes operative connection with the rack 57 on the inner side and so on alternately.
The twelve racks are composed of two pairs, each pair comprising an outside rack .56 and an inside rack 57, and these are spaced equi-distant one from the next one circumferentially, but they do not fill the circumferential space, in that the racksare omitted from the operators station.
The racks aresupported from a fixed partof the frame, the actual support being an annular plate member 58 that is positioned just below the 'ears with which they cooperate.
The rac s are individually supported by means of a pivot 59 b the leaving end at which the gear 55 brea s the operative connection, and said racks are thus mounted so as to swing back and forth in a horizontal plane. I
At the approach end of each rack is a s ring 60 that tends to swing the rack towards the operating-position and for limiting such movement there is a fixed stop 61 that cooperates with a pin 62 on the rack.
The outside racks 56 are straight and the inside racks 57 are curved as shown.
It will be noted that the structure described permits of the parts being constructed and arranged so that the bearing operated upon is flooded with oil or whatever cleansing liquid may be used and quite thoroughly washed before the bearing rotating devices are brought into operation.
I claim as my invention 1.
