f'o all whom it may con/cam:

Be it known that I, LOUIS Vii "Nnin', a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Waterlom Blackhawk county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Turning Crank-Pins on Engine-Shafts, of which the following is 'a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in *devices for turning crank-pins on engineshafts, and the objectof my improvement is to provide means capable of use on an ordinary engine-lathe which will receive engine cranks of diilei'ing dimensions, and which may he used to turn the crank-pins thereof quickly, truly and with the proper finish and design. This object Ihave acconiplished by the IDGZlIlS WlllCl'l are hereinafter described and claimed and which are lllUS trated 1n the acconi mi 111 drawnws. in

Fwure l is an elevation of an en 'ineb v n I w lat-he equipped wlth my HIIPPOVQCl device for turning the crank-pin of an engine-- shaft. Fig. 2

is a slightly enlarged endelevation of the pair offending-tools used with my device. Fig. 3 is end-elevation in detail of the end of the journal-end holding-hotly which has the crank-arm clamping-means mounted thereon. Fig. l is sideelevation of said journal'end holdingbody, showing an engine-sh'aft journal-end i'eniovably secured in the seats therein.

Fi 5 is a similar view of said holdin n u body, the holding-body being turned one quarter around. 6 is a transverse sec ion of: said holding-body taken on t-he'line m as of Fig. 41 and looking toward the left. Fig. '7 is a transverse section of said holding-body taken on the line 1 y'of said Fig. 4.

v Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. v

The. numeral 48 designates an'enginelathe on which niy improved device for turning the cranlepin of an engine-shaftis This device comprises a holding-hodv fer the journal-end of an engine crank-shaft, and cutting-devices an,

pi'opi'iate for turning the crank-pin of the shaft into a illle finished shape. The holding-lively comprises vertical spaced apart parallel disks 1 and 2, connected by integral parts setat. right-angles to each OtllBlQEiS shown at the

The seats in these Webs mav {i5 have hearings T and 1G. and S and. 522 respec tivelv, which may be either fixed or removable, and each hearingis trongh-shaped in igs. (land and 8 in '7. The hearings-7 in the web 5., the web 6, have cross-plates l]. and 1:? respecti\'ely, which are removahly secured over said hearings by leans oi": the screws 13 and 14; These cross-plates serve to se cure the journal-ends in the liieaiings, and 2 the journal-end is secured also hv means of a set sci-ew l0 seated in the Web and engaging it.

ihe numeral 36 designates a base-block adopted to be mounted out-he lathe-frame to the righbhand of the ringbeering 3d, the latter being also mounted on said l2Ltl19 .rt'i-eine. The base-block 3'3 edjustably supports a body upon which are trzuisversely spaced apart

The other upright 29 has a, outter-tool 27 secured on its inner fece adjustably by means of an adjustingscrew 32. Spindle-arms 37 may be used to adjust the position of said ports transversel oh the lathe-bed. When the tool 26 is use ifgives a rough-cut to the crank-pin 24;, and this operation succeeded by the use oi the cut-ting'tool 27 Which finishes the crank-pin tothe smooth desired form,

The said device accurately performs the ,i'equii'ed duty in a minimum time, and perfects the crank-pins with a great saving of labor.
