To all whom t may concern Be it known that l, ROBERT B.WnAvnn, a citizen of the United. States', and a resident of the city of Detroit, in the county of 5 W ayne and State of Michigan, have 1n-V vei'ited a new and useful Improvement 1n llotllolling Machines, of Which. the follow ing is a specific-ation.
My invention relates to machines for forming ge.a1te -:t li on a heated gear-blank by means of a die-roll. The 'object of my invention is the/improvement of machines of this kind to adapt' them for the rapid and certain 'production of accurately shaped bevel-gears and similar' artieies.
Further objects 4of my invention are disclosed in connection Withthe machine for orming'bevetgear teeth on heated gearblanks hereinafter described, which machine is illustratedv in the accompanying drawings. The' details 'of .my invention are pointed out4 With more -particularity in the lappended claims. u 4
In theV drawings, in which like characters are used -to designate likeparts throughout .the several views.
Figure l is a front elevation of my im! proved machine, showing a `gear-blanl z in Lposition to be operated ongand y Fig. 2 is a' side elevation of the same partly in section.
VIn carryingiout my invention .the gear-` blank to be operated on is` removably secured in a horaoiital position at the upper ex.-
tremityolia rotatable and axially ,movabie Vvertically arranged arbor; and its rim forced downward upon a dieJroll or other tool 'for shaping metal by pressure frein' above. The die-roll is secured upon the end 4001 a longitudinally, adjustable horizontal shaft or spindle rotatably journaled in fixed Libearings and having its axis of rotation in tersecting that of the arbor. The die-roll is adjusted in close' proximity te the rim or tooth-face of the gear-blank, so that chevertex .of the conical surface bounding the Working-face of the dieroll lies at Vthe point of .intersection ofthe'axes of the die-roll Ashaft 'and gear-blank supporting arbor. The die'sroll spindle lor shaft andgeanblank snpf porting arbor are connected' by gearing to cause them `to rotate at a "uniform speed ratio, this ratio being theratio of therein@ .ber'of teeth to be formed on the geanbl'ank arbor,
v Ato vbe inserted or removed,
' to the number of 'teeth on' tliedie-rollnor shaping to'ol.
Referring to the drawings, the blank-Sup porting arbor 5 is slidably arran Ied. in axial hearings' 6, 7 at the upper an' lower ex tremities ofahollow spindle 8 rotatably mounted in bearings' 9, 1Q -in cylindriea'l bosses projecting from the to' and bottom plates of the main frame 11- o the machine'. f
The upper end 12 of the arbor is slightly 'tapered as far 'as thecollar 13, and afaceplate or lower clamping-plate 14 is driven on the tapered end to a seat against the` collar. Tle upper face of the face-plate is shouldered to form a seat for an annular gear-blank.
In the operation of the machine, a gear?,
'blank 15 is arranged on the face-plate lil with its tooth-face down. The annular rim' of the gear-blank fits around the shoulder on the faceplate and the gear'blank is thereby centered on the arbor. An u lper claniping-plate 16, of greater diameter han the .gear-blank and having 'a centralfhole largeenough to lit loosely on 4the ta ered end of the arbor, 'is adapted tolle slipped' blanl,wlien the latter is in place in the en over the end of the 'arbor on top of ii'e"gear-l machine, and-a taper-pin orwedg'e 1.7 is
then driven into a tapered-'slot 18 infthe. end of the arbor to secure the clamping plate and gear-blank between the faceplate and elainpingplate.
eloW the collar 13 the arbor-His threaded Yfor a short distance and 'ay nut-4 adjusted thereon. This n'ut bears on its 'bottornon the top' of the spindle 8 near the upperlbe'aring 6.' Thenut may be adjusted-onfjthe arbor te limit ,the extent of its axial nieve-4 ment in a downward direction. The-lower;
end of the arbor is groove'd longitudinally on opposite sides and splines 22, secured in bor. A
lthe lower bearing 7 of the hollov'v7 spindle, having a sliding t in the grooves in the" thus forming a rotary driving conneetioii ,between the hollow spindle and arri' arm isiixedon' ahorizontal shaftfvffiw rool collar 23 is ipinned en the lower extremity of the arbor `to limit the 'verticalV oted in bearings 26 on the machine frame, and carrying a treadle 27 convenient to the foot ofthe operator.
l mounted r 1n The hollow-spindle 8 has a flange --19 near its upper extremity, and a fiber washer or a metal ring 20 is arranged between this flange and the top end of the bearing-sleeve 9, forming a thrustbearing supporting the' Weight ofthe holl'ovv spindle.- The sleeve bearing 9 is externally threaded on its up* per and lower extremities, which project above and .below the boss-on the rameof the machine, and .nuts 2l are adjustabl ar,-4
ranged on the 'threaded extremitiesv o the bearing-sleeve'-for securing the sleeve, and thereby the hollow-spindle, in vertical adj ustment in the machine frame. A. nut 28 is threaded on lthe l Werextremity of the,
hollowninydle and/contacts with the lower end of t e bearing iQ for preventing movement of the vspindle in an u'pvvar direction. A bevel ear 29 for rotating the hol low spindle is enovably secured to the flange 19.A
The die-roll 30 is forced on the inner end axial of the roll-spindle 31 against a Shoulder 32 and secured in place by a key -133 and nut 34. Theinner extremity of therollspindle is reduced' indiametcr and finished to folletojournal 35.- The rollspindle is provided withjournals 36, :B7-.between which the driving-pulley. 38 isinounted :and Isecurcly keyed, and has-agilange 39, coton the periphery to -form asur-gear, between the vin .the inner branch; fte-.0f 'the-steek, andthe i Secure the the. outerbranch .4:6 oithe ,stock-.in axial'.-

mounted on theA top-plate of the-machine.
96 A, pedestalz consisting of two legs 59 coni nected at 'their upper ends by a yokeGO, is
frame, -straddling the inner end of the roll' f spindle, and is secured to the'"topplat e by 'bolts 6.1 passing through .holes 62 in the baseflanges 63 of the legs.
These holes 62. are slightly larger than the bolts to admit of slight adjustment ofthe pedestal on the topplate. '.[fhe bolts 61 pass through elongated slot-'s 64 1n the top-plate, the .longer axes of los the slots being parallel to the axis of the.
.roll-spindle, and/lare; tightened up by nuts 65 on their lowerfends. By loosening the nuts the Vpedestal maybe shitedto a limited extentV in a direction parallel to the axis of theroll-spindl'e. .-Alweb 66 connects the le sl spindle, and is provided with a bearing 67 Afor .the journal 35 of the roll-spindle; This bearing may be adjusted vertically to vary its" height above the top-plate`by placing .shims under the base flanges of the pedestal legs.

Inthidbore is rotatably mounted an igternailystlueadedsleeve 7 0 having u lian ze "'Zl'fat its lower end bearing' against the lower lface of theyoke. A bevel-gear'f?, is keyed on'the upper end of thesleeve and adjusted 130 v face-plate with its tooth-ring clown.
hy means oi a nut 73 to hear ou the upper face of the yoke and .support the Sleeve in the bore. A horizontal shaft Tfl is rotatably mounted. in a l'ueai'iiur in the yoke and. oarries a lievel pinion T5 which is in mesh with the lierel-gnfai T2. A ha inl-wheel 7G on the end oi' the shaft 7l; provides ay means lor rotating' the shaft and llevel-pinion, and thereby rotatingY the sleeve T0. Pius 77 are fixed in the yoke on both .sides ol the sleeve and project downwardly toward the tot plat-e of the inaehine. '.l`hese pins are pal'- allel and serre guides 'for a ei'osshead 78 slidahly arranged upon them helow the yoke. erossbeafl inaxial line with the internally tl'neadi-al sleeve, with whirxhit engages. The screw-shaft heine i|oi'|rotatal.ily secured to the urnes-bead, 'the rotation of: the sleeve screws it up or down, vai-nylug the oroselieail with it. A. roller 80 arranged between, twodngs 51 on the under side oi.2 the eroeshead in' line with the screw-shaft. This roller is: carried by apio S2 driven 'lhrongh it, the ends of the pin heine` journaled in hearings in the lugs. When the cross-head is lowered the relier hears on the too side of the .upper elamping-ifviate i6 at a 'point about over the4 de-roll. By screwing down the cross-head pressure can he put on the clamp: ing-plate directly over the point of Contact of `the die-roll with the gea-wblank.
in the operation ot my machine, the arbor is raised by means of the foot-treadle, and a heated gear-blank is dropped onto the Next the clamping-plate is placed over the gea-rblank audtightened up by driving Vin the Wedge. The newer is thrown on, thus rotating the die-roll and arbor at a uniform sneed ratio, and pressure applied by means of the hand-wheel 76. to force the gear-blank into Contact with the dieroll. Pressure is i maintained on the geanhlank until the teeth are formed` hy the die-roll to the required depth, at' which point the further downward movement of the arbor is arrested-by power is thrown off, the arbor-raised by the treadle, the Wedge knee-hed out, and 'the ,freer-blank with teeth formed thereon re moved.
Although I have -illustrated but one die- 'rollin my machine, and have described the use of. hat one diefroll in the oneratlon of forming gear-teeth by niyinachine, find 'that Middle-rolls soon lose their accuracy of outline ,if used to form @gear-blank with A serene-shaft 75) ie attached to the Ine-nt on relatively fixed aXes;-
correctly shaped teeth at a single operation, and therefore in practice I prefer to form the teeth to approximately their correct shape with a roughiug olie-roll and then to relientiiho ;;oail'ilarilcs, or transfer them lo another machine, und form 4"he teeth to the correct shane With a finishing die-ro1l.
The arrang'en'ieut oi parte of' my machine :ula-nits of' changing the sizes end-numbers et" teeth o'l the ,gambia-nk and die-roll Within the liinitsoll the maehine. The toothed liange) on the :roll-spindle and the spur- ,eear are of the saine size and number of teeth, and the distance betiteentheir oeniiers is fixed. This pair. of gears are -out to mesh together 'with very little backlash. 'lhe -bei'ehgear 29 and bevehpinion 56, which are c-,hano'efl when the number of teeth on the die-ijoll or gear-blank is Varied., .may he adjusted to mesh pionerly by sliding the stoek'longituilinally in its ways and then raisingor lowering); the hollow spindle by means o'l`Y the seiew-i'ings on the sleeve 9. Alfter clamping the stock on the tope-plate the diefroll can be axially adjusted to cor rect working' oosition li" ineens of the hand- V W`hat I elaini and desire to secure by Letters Patent is as follows:
