zAn important object of this invention isi-to provide a -device --for cleaning z the rough projections; on each of the faces {of the-core --reduce the core to-proper dimensions to'thereby produce v a-smoother and moreuniform core.
-Another object of this invention-is to-- provide a-device-whichwi1l simultaneously remove the projections on the faces and edges ofythe core while-removing the;-projections-in the openings formed in thecore.

A reamer support plate 38 is provided with openings 40 therein for guidably receiving the posts 30, angle iron end bars 42 being secured to the standards 20, below the end rails 24, to limit downward movement of the reamer support plate. Guide rails 44 are secured between the end rails 24 and the end bars 42 and are guidably received in notches 46 in the reamer support plate 38 to guide vertical reciprocatory movement of the latter. A plurality of flanged journals 48 are adjustably secured to the reamer support plate 38, as by fasteners 50 which extend through slots 62 in the plate 38, each of which journals rotatably receives a reamer spindle 54. A suitable reamer 56 is carried by the upper end of each spindle 54, and a bevel gear 58 is non-rotatably secured to the lower end of each spindle. The bevel gears 58 are in mesh engagement with complementary bevel gears 60 disposed on shafts 62, the latter being rotatably journaled in brackets 64 and 66, carried by the undersurface of the reamer mounting plate 38. A plate 68 connects the lower ends of the adjacent brackets 66, and provides a journal for the shaft I having the pinion I2 thereon, which pinion is adapted to drivingly engage the bevel gears I4 on the registering ends of the shafts 62. Although a suitable gear drive for the reamers has been described, it is to be understood that a belt or chain drive could be substituted without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In order to drive the pinion I2 carried by the shaft I0, there is provided an electric motor 16 which is secured by fasteners I8 to the motor mounting plate 26. The motor pulley 80 is connected by means of a belt 82 to a pulley 84 mounted on the main drive shaft 86. As is best shown in Figures 1 and 3, the shaft 86 is rotatably carried by journals 88 on the transverse angle iron braces 80 on the standards 20. A bevel gear 82 is non-rotatably disposed on the shaft 86 in meshing engagement with the bevel gear 84 on the vertically disposed reamer drive shaft 86, the shaft 86 being journaled in the bracket 98 carried by the side bars I00. The shaft 96 is provided with an internally splined socket I02 which receives the complementarily splined end I04 of the shaft I0, to thereby provide a longitudinally extensible coupling for the shafts. I
The reamer moving mechanism I4 includes a cam shaft I06 rotatably disposed in journals I08 on cross members I I0, and cam member I I2 carried by the cam shaft.
Cam followers H4 are secured to the reamer mounting plate 38 and reciprocably extend through sleeves I I 6 on the core support plate 28, into engagement with the cam members II2. Thus, as the shaft I06 is rotated the reamer support plate 38 is vertically reciprocated whereby the reamers will be moved into and out of the bores in the core I I8.
A clutch mechanism I 20 is disposed on the cam shaft I06 and includes a first clutch member I22 rotatably mounted on the shaft I06 and having a pulley I24 secured thereto. A collar I26 is fixedly secured to the shaft I06 and engages the first clutch member to limit axial movement thereof, and a belt I28 is disposed about the pulley I24 and the pulley I30 on the main drive shaft 86, to drivingly connect the clutch mechanism to the motor I6. A second clutch member I32 is splined to the shaft I06, as at I34 for sliding, but non-rotating movement thereon, and a compression spring I36 is disposed in the counterbore I38 in the second clutch member, which spring otherwise engages the cap member I40 which is fixed to the shaft I06, to thereby yieldingly urge the second clutch member into engagement with the first clutch member. As is shown in Figure 7, a collar I42 is carried by the cap to guide the spring and second clutch member as the latter is shifted axially on the shaft I 06. A brace bracket I44 is secured to a mounting rail I46, to support the cam shaft intermediate its ends.
In order to move the clutch members into and out of engagement, the second clutch member I32 is provided with a peripheral cam surface I48 which is so constructed as to shift the second cam member axially on the shaft in opposition to the spring I36, when the vertically reciprocable, and laterally inflexible cam follower I50 engages the cam surface. As is best shown in Figures 1 and 9, the follower I50 is slidably and non-rotatably received in an internally splined sleeve I52 carried by the core support plate 28, and is provided with rack teeth I64 which mesh with a spur gear I56. The spur gear I56 is non-rotatably mounted on the stub shaft I58, which is journaled in bearing plates I60 and an arm I62 is fixedly secured to the stub shaft. The arm I62 is normally biased in a clockwise direction, as viewed in Figures 1 and 9, by-a spring I64, whereby the follower I50 is normally urged into its cam engaging position. A solenoid I66 having a reciprocable plunger I68 actuated thereby, is provided to selectively move the follower I50 out of cam engaging position, the plunger being suitably pivoted to the arm I62. Thus, when the follower I50 is moved out of engagement with the cam surface I48, the clutch members will be moved into driving engagement by the spring I36, whereby the cam members I I2 will be rotated by the motor I6, to reci rocate the reamer mounting plate 38. Conversely, when the follower I50 is disposed in engagement with the cam surface, the second clutch member is moved axially on the cam shaft I06 out of engagement with the first clutch member, as the second clutch member rotates.
The abrading mechanism I6 includes a cover II0 which is hingedly attached, as at II2, to one of the side rails 22, and a handle II4, to facilitate opening and closing of the cover. As is best shown in Figure 2, the cover is provided with a plurality of openings II6 for the reception of the projecting bosses I18 on the core II8. Obviously, the spacing of the openings will be regulated by the positioning of the bosses on the particular core and, if no bosses are utilized, the abrading bars, to be described hereinafter, may be mounted on the undersurface of the cover to smooth the face of the core. The abrading bars I80, I82 and I84, shown in the accompanying drawing, have abrading blocks I86 thereon, each of which blocks overlies one of the openings I16. An actuator arm I88 is pivotally attached, intermediate its ends as at I90, to the cover I10, and has one end pivotally connected by the pin I92 to the bar I80. An actuator link I84 is terminally pivoted as at I96 and I98 to the bars I and I82, and pivotally attached by the pin 200 to the cover. A second link 202 is pivoted by pin 204 to the cover, and terminally pivoted as at 206 and 208 to the links I80 and I84. It will thus be noted that as the actuator arm I88 is pivoted fiaeasymo 5 about the' pivot poi-nt 1 90; the -bars' i 80 I82 and 1 8hwill bemoved longitiidinally.

.ltis contemplated that/the control of .the engagementcof the .clutchimembers be regulated, in responsetosthe closing of the coverji'm, and for lthis purpose; there. is provided a switch 232 which -is electrically-connected in ,series with the sole- I now 'fl"66,. and whichs'witcli is closed in response to closing of the cover" ['10 and.yielding1y biased open, in any desired mannenwhen the cover is opened, 'Additionally', there is provided a cam [operatedswitch"234 which is electrically connected in series with the switch'232 and the source "'of power (not shown) .1 The switch 234 is con- .istructed so as to remain in either open or closed position, dependent on the manner in which it is set. A cam 236 is carried by the cam shaftl'06,
and a follower rod 238 rides on the cam 236 to selectively move the switch 234.110 its open posi- "tion when the lobeon'the cam 236 elevates the rod.
The motor 16 is connectedto the source of power-and the master switch 240, 'by conductors "242and 244.
In operation, the'switch 234 is first manually closed; prior to closing of thecover' llfl, so that whenthe cover isclosectthe switch 232 will also be closedgthereby energizing-the solenoid to retractthe follower I50. It maybe noted, however,
