bracket members

21, and 25 represents yoke members having sleeves 26 at the lower ends thereof whereby the yokes are journaled upon the shaft 24 in a manner permitting them to swing in a fore and aft direction at right angles with the axes of the grinding wheels.

27 represents studs carried by the yokes 25 in substantially the same horizontal plane as the axes of the two-part feedshaft 9 and having rollers 28 journaled thereon that en gage with the cams 11.

29 represents a bevel pinion secured to the middle portion of shaft 22 and meshing with a corresponding pinion 30 secured to the rear end of a shaft 31 journaled in bearings 32 carried by the frame of the machine, and arranged in a fore and aft direction thereon, and 33 represents a sprocket wheel secured to shaft 31 adjacent pinion 30.

34 represents a shaft journaled in bearing boxes 35 carried by bracket members 36 secured to the main frame, said shaft being arranged parallel with shaft 31 and in the same vertical plane. Secured to the rear end thereof is a sprocket wheel 37 that is operatively connected, by means of a sprocket chain 38, with sprocket wheel 33,

and 39 represents a worm gear member secured to shaft 34 and engaging with worm gear member 13. The front end of shaft 31 is journaled in a bearing box 40 carried by a transversely arranged hollow frame member 41, having opposite ends thereof secured to the base of the machine, and 42 represents a bevel pinion secured to the end of the shaft and meshing with a corresponding pinion 43 secured to the inner adjacent ends of shafts 44 journaled in bearing boxes 45 secured to frame

member

41, and 46 represents sprocket wheels secured to the opposite ends of shafts 44. The ends of the hollow frame member 41 are formed to receive sleeve members 47 forming part of the chuck carrying members, having vertically arranged arms 48 spaced apart laterally, the sleeve members being adjustably clamped to the member 41 by means of bolts 49.

50 represents a rocking chuck carrying member having trunnion members 51 at opposite ends thereof that are journaled in bearings formed in the upper ends of

arms

48, and 52 represents bearing boxes carried by said trunnions and having a transverse shaft 53 journaled therein.

54 represents a chuck head, and integral therewith are bearing portions 55 whereby the chuck is journaled in bearings 56 carried by the rocking carrying member 50, the bearings being spaced apart in a manner to receive a gear member 57 between them that transmits rotary motion to the chuck head through the intermediacy of a spiral gear member 58 secured to shaft 53 and sprocket wheel 59 secured to the end of shaft 53 and operatively connected with one of the sprocket wheels 46 upon shaft 44 by means of a chain 60.

61 represents a depending ear member integral with the front end of the rocking chuck carrying member 50, having a lateral opening that receives a bolt 62 whereby a clevis member 63 is pivotally connected with the ear 61, and 64 represents an ear member integral with sleeve members 47, having a clevis 65 like in form wit-h that of clevis member 63, pivotally connected thereto, said clevises being provided with right and left threaded shank portions 66 that receive opposite ends of an adjusting

screw

67, and 68 represents a hand wheel secured to the screw whereby the operator may adjust the position of the rocking gear frame relative to the chuck carrying members 48 for the purpose of varying the angle of the chuck relative to the grinding wheels.

The chuck carrying member 50 includes a casing 69 inclosing the chuck head 54 and provided with a laterally arranged sleeve member 70, in which is journaled a stud 71 having an opening therein that adjustably receives the front end of a rod 72 arranged in a fore and aft direction, having the rear endthereof adjustably connected with a trunnion block 73, having the oppositely disposed trunnions journaled in bearings carried by the upper ends of yoke members 25, whereby the position of the chuck carrying member relative to the grinding wheels is controlled by the cams 11.

74 represents a disk secured to the face of the chuck head 54 by means of radial sliding jaws 75 that are controlled by means of an axially sliding shaft 7 6 controlled by means of a hand lever 77 and a toggle mechanism 78.

In operation motion is transmitted to the grinding wheels by a driving belt, that may be placed upon either of the driving pulleys 5, and rotary motion is transmitted to the combined clutch member 12 and worm gear member 13 of the feeding mechanism, and to the chuck head by means of pulley 23. The initial position of the chuck mechanism is as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2, with the roller 28 engaging with the depressed portion of the cam 11. be beveled is placed in one of the chucks and the operator depresses the t-readle upon the end of the machine and causes the clutch mechanism carried by the feed shaft to engage in a manner to impart one complete revolution of one of the parts of the twopart feed shaft 9, and the cam member 11 upon that part of the shaft causes the con stantly rotating chuck at the opposite side of the machine to approach the grinding wheel, and the disk is beveled to a cutting edge during one rotation of the cam'll, and the roller 28, being received by the depressed portion of the cam, permits the yoke 25 to swing forward and the chuck carrying member controlled thereby to recede from the grinding wheel, the operator placing the disks in the chucks and operating the clutch controlling treadles alternately.
