ιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιιι AN APPARATUS AND ARTICLE FOR POLISHING GEMSTONES in ur 1?1? ipnm T«D» Docket 110-006 FIELD OF THE APPLICATION
[0001] The apparatus and article relate to the field of gemstone working.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Grinding and polishing are the most common gemstone working (shaping) operations. Gemstones can be worked in different ways. Most commonly, gemstones are polished or worked mechanically on a fast rotating, metal working member or scaife. A scaife is a heavy, cast iron, horizontally spinning wheel. The working surface of the scaife is impregnated with oil and diamond powder. The term "working" in the context of the present invention includes polishing and grinding of gemstones and other precious and semi-precious stones.
[0003] For gemstone working purposes, the gemstone is mounted on a dop held by a tang and leveled with respect to the working member. The gemstone leveling procedure provides for the correct angles and correct size of the facets. The term gemstone includes diamonds, and other precious and semi-precious stones. As the number of diamonds polished on the same scaife increases, the diamond impregnated surface of the scaife wears out and the scaife has to be renewed. Renewal of the scaife changes the scaife dimensions. Following renewal, the scaife has to be balanced once again and the gemstone also has to be leveled again.
[0004] Israeli Patent Application No. 162,502 to the same Assignee teaches a method of working gemstones enabling rapid gemstone working member exchange and gemstone processing sequence continuation without the need to level the gemstone or the working member. The present apparatus and replaceable abrading article are an improvement to this method.

Docket HO - 006 - 2 - DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
[00015] Figure 1 illustrates some elements of an exemplary embodiment of a gemstone working apparatus. Gemstone working apparatus 100 includes a rotatable support 104, a removable (replaceable) and disposable gemstone abrading article 108, a balancing arrangement 110 and abrading article removal tool kit 112. Electrical or pneumatic motor 114 rotates support 104 with abrading article 108 mounted on it. Motor 114 and support 104 are permanently mounted in a table type frame 116 having a flat tabletop surface 120. Rotatable support 104 provides a support surface 130 on which removable and disposable abrading article 108 rests by its lower surface 154. A guiding feature 162 facilitates the coupling of article 108. Arrows 134 indicate the coupling direction of abrading article 108 to support 104. Rotatable support 104 possesses retention forces that hold article 108 when support 104 rotates. Balancing arrangement 110 is mounted as removable or fixed to tabletop surface 120. For article 108, removal abrading article removal tool 112 may be mounted on tabletop surface 120. Otherwise, tool 112 is located in an enclosure within frame 116 or in an easy accessible location outside frame 116. Also shown in Figure 1 are gemstone 124 and a gemstone holding and leveling means such as a dop 126 that may be held by a tang (not shown). Gemstone 124 has to be worked on apparatus 100.
[00016] Figure 2 is an expended view of the same elements of the exemplary embodiment of gemstone working apparatus. The elements and their possible relative positions are shown for illustrative purposes only.
[00017] Figure 3 illustrates an exemplary rotatable support 104 having permanent magnets or electro-magnetic inserts 144. There is no direct contact between permanent magnet inserts 144 and any of the surfaces of abrading article 108. Magnetic inserts 144 generate an abrading article retention force that holds article 108 (Figure.1) on support 104. Inserts 144 are inserted in troughs made in body 150 of rotatable support 104. A layer of material exists between magnetic inserts 144 and lower surface 154 (Figure. 1) of abrading article 108. This method of insertion of permanent magnets provides a single material structure to surface 130, which may be thus manufactured with greater accuracy and at a lower expense. Surface 130 of rotatable support 104 which is in contact with lower surface 154 of abrading article 108, has an external diameter smaller than the rest of the body of support 104 and smaller than the diameter of articles 108 and 180 (Figure 4). Generally, support 104 may be implemented as a cylindrical or other shape body of Docket 110 - 006 smaller than article 108 diameter. Not all of the lower surface of the abrading article is in contact with the respective surface of the rotatable support. Rotatable support 104 has guiding feature 162 that facilitates mounting of abrading article 108 on rotatable support 104. Bore 166 enables connection of support 104 to motor 114 to which it may be fastened by screw 128 or any other suitable fastening means. [00018J Use of permanent magnets or electro-magnets necessitates use of ferromagnetic material for the abrading article. For other types of retention mechanisms, such as vacuum, the abrading article may be made of a non-magnetic material. Vacuum orifices may be inserted or drilled in the rotatable support and a vacuum pump may provide vacuum through a rotary joint. In this case atmospheric pressure would retain the abrading article on a rotatable support.
[00019] Abrading article (Figure 4) may have different shapes, although the simplest shape of the abrading article is a disk-like shape. Surface 154 is a flat surface (Figure 4A) having a high degree of flatness. Flatness of surface 154 is especially important since an abrading article rests with it on flat surface 130 (Figure 3) of rotatable support 104. The abrading article has a flat diamond powder coated working surface 184. Surface 154 and surface 184 are parallel to each other. The diamond powder may be of a single grade. Alternatively, sections of the abrading article may be coated by different grades of diamond powder. Different abrading articles may be coated by diamond powder of different grades.
[00020] Abrading article 108 would have a thickness smaller than has rotatable support 104. Rotatable support 104 provides the necessary stiffness keeping working surface 184 flat when working a gemstone. Abrading article 108, as disclosed in Israeli Patent Application No. 162,502, is characterized in that it has a predefined thickness. All of the removable articles are substantially of the same thickness. Their exchange does not change the working plane position. Accordingly, the exchange of the abrading article does not create the need to level the gemstone being worked or the working member.
[00021] Abrading article 108 (Figure 4A) has mounting bore 186, which facilitates coupling to rotatable support 104 (Figure 3). For coupling, article 108 is threaded through bore 186 on guiding feature 162 of rotatable support 104. When coupled with a tight fit guiding feature helps to locate article 108 such that the rotation axes of the article and Docket 110 - 006 . 4 . rotatable support 104 coincide or are close to each other. Following this, in conventional machines the rotating support with the abrading article are balanced by adding balancing masses/weights to the assembly. Retention forces developed by electro-magnets or vacuum may be switched ON and OFF making the coupling of article 108 with guiding feature 162 of rotatable support 104 easy, regardless of the clearance of the respective surfaces. Permanent magnets cannot be switched ON and OFF and the permanent forces they develop make coupling of article 108 with guiding feature 162 of rotatable support 104 less convenient. [00022J In one embodiment (Figure 4A), abrading article 108 has a diameter of mounting bore 186 substantially larger than the diameter of guiding feature 162 of rotatable support 104. In another embodiment (Figure 4B), abrading article 180 has no mounting bore at all. It is a flat round disk.
[00023] Figures 5A and 5B illustrate the operation of the balancing arrangement. Arrangement 110 (Figure 1) includes a stand 188 and an adjustment screw 190. Stand 188 may be removable or permanently attached to tabletop surface 120 by any suitable mechanism. Adjustment screw 190 is positioned such that it may apply pressure to abrading article 108. Article 108 has a diameter of mounting bore 186 substantially larger than the diameter of guiding feature 162 of support 104. Support 104 may now be rotated and screw 190 advanced until it touches article 108 at a point on its diameter that has maximal run-out (Figure 5B). Advance of screw 190 applies pressure to article 108 and displaces it on surface 130 of support 104. The displacement is possible since mounting bore 186 has a diameter substantially larger than the diameter of guiding feature 162. Article 108 actually slides or moves towards the center of rotation of support 104. The operation continues until support 104 with coupled to it article 108 are balanced. (Generally, the support is balanced and balancing rather relates to the proper position of the article on the surface of the support.) The balancing is performed without adding to the rotating mass unbalance compensation masses. Article 108 slides on surface 130 until its center of mass comes to a position that balances the coupled rotating masses. The thread pitch of screw 190 may be selected such as to ensure proper balancing accuracy. The balancing accuracy may be controlled by any available instrument. Tip 194 of screw 190 may be adapted to have minimal friction with the outer surface of article 108. Figure 5B shows the final balanced position of article 108. After this, screw 190 is retracted, the gemstone is leveled and the gemstone-working operation may begin.
Docket UO -006
[00024] Figure 6 shows the balancing procedure for article 180 that has no mounting bore. Accordingly, rotatable support 196 has no guiding feature.
[00025] As disclosed above, the abrading article is exchanged when it becomes unusable. Exchange of article 108 or 180 may be performed by pulling it off support 104 or 196. When electro-magnets or vacuum are used as a retention mechanism, they may be simply switched OFF. Pulling article 108 or 180 off the surface of support 104 (196) that has permanent magnet inserts may require a force substantially larger than sliding article 108 or 180 on the surface of support 104 or 196 and may not be convenient for manual operation. Figures 7 A and 7B illustrate the operation of abrading article removal tool. Tool 112 includes stand 200 having a thread and engaging bushing 204, that has an internal thread. Tool 112 further includes an eccentric rotatable bushing 206, a cylindrical bushing 208 and a flat member 210. Insert 216 has a similar thread to stand 200 and may be inserted into tabletop surface 120 of frame 160. Alternatively, a thread may be made in the tabletop part of frame 160.
[00026] For removal of articles 108 or 180, stand 200 is engaged with insert 216 such that eccentric rotatable bushing 206, may be rotated to enter the groove formed by the section of support 104 that has a smaller diameter than the rest of support 104 and lower than the surface of article 108 (180). Cylindrical bushing 208 has a thickness about the thickness of article 108 (180) and overlays bushing 206. Flat member 210 is placed on the top of it. Flat member 210 is rotated such that its longer part is over article 104 or 180. The assembly of the above mentioned parts is fastened together by nut 214 or any other fastening means. Threaded stand 200 is rotated such that it disengages threaded insert 216 or tabletop surface 120 (Figure 8). The disengagement movement of stand 200 (Figure 7B) moves bushings 206, 208 and flat member 210 as shown in Figure 7B and pulls article 108 (180) from support 104.
[00027] There is a variety of constructions for gemstone working apparatuses. Apparatus 100 (Figure 2) has abrading member working surface 184 (Figure 4) above the level of tabletop surface 120 (Figure 2) on which the dop is held in place by a tang movement. Figure 8 shows a gemstone working apparatus where abrading article working surface 184 is at the level of tabletop surface 120. Balancing arrangement 110 and abrading article removal tool 112, as Figure 8 shows, are adapted to this architecture. Adjustment Docket 110- 006 - 6 - screw 190 pushes/pulls a pin that moves in a groove 224 and is in contact with article 108. Abrading article removal tool 112 has an anchored screw 228 that engages article 108 and pulls it from support 104 in a mode similar to the above description. Figure 8 illustrates a cylindrical shape support having an external diameter smaller than article 108.
[00028] The elements of the apparatus and the method of exchanging an abrading article may be adapted for use in existing conventional gemstone working machines. Figure 9 illustrates a conventional gemstone working machine 240 with balancing arrangement 110 and abrading article removal tool 112 assembled on it. Figure 9 shows an additional exemplary form of rotatable support 244 having a form similar to the existing working members (scaife) with removable abrading article 108 mounted on it. Support 244 has permanent magnetic inserts that provide the article holding force. The exemplary form of rotatable support 244, similar to the conventional working member, was selected for demonstration purposes only. As shown, other forms and shapes of the rotatable support are possible.
[00029] As the number of gemstones polished on the same working surface of an abrading article increases, the diamond-coated surface of the article wears out or becomes unusable. By utilizing the present apparatus and article exchange method, it is easy to remove the article and mount a new abrading article when necessary. It is easy to balance the new abrading article using the balancing arrangement.
[00030] While the apparatus and the article have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations could be made hereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the specifications as defined by the appended claims.
