This invention relates to roll grinding mechanism, and more particularly to that class of grinding mechanism which is employed in grinding rolls such as are used for instance, in connection with rolling mills and calendering machines and other relatively heavy work, though the mechanism may be employed for grinding rolls of a different character and for a wide variety of uses.

In grinding heavy rolls of this character it is frequency desirable to grind them so that. thesurfaces will be either concave or convex, and it is desirable that the grinding machine be so constructed as to produce, not only a concave ora convex surface when desired, but also to produce, when desired, a roll having a true cylindrical surface.

In some instances, the roll grinders for the above uses are equipped with two grinding wheels, disposed one on each side of the roll to be ground and interconnected by mechanism whereby the two wheels will act in unison. This invention contemplates the provision in a machine of this type of mechanism to connect the two wheels, whereby the will be swingingly supported relatively to t e roll.

One object of my invention is to provide a roll grinding machine such that rolls may be evenly cut or formed with the desired crown, or convexit or concavity .of surface, the mechanism eingreadily adjustable for different degrees of crowning and being practically automatic in operation after adjustment.

A still further object of the invention is rest type, wherein two grinding wheels are arranged to act in unison upon a roll.

A still further object of this invention is to provide a swing rest grinder with a novel form of crowning mechanism, which will opcrate without interfering with the action of the wheel swinging features. and mechanism.

Still another ob ect of this invention is to provide an improved form of swing rest grinder, which will be capable of operating upon rolls varyin in size, between relatively wide limits, and y the use of which truly cylindrical rolls may be formed as well as rolls having convex and concave surfaces.

To these and other ends, the invention consists in the novel features and combinations of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.

Fig. 16 is a detailed view of the swing rest and wheel housing bases connected thereto, used with the machine illustrated wheel support opposite to that The roll grinder selected to illustrate the the roll 16, wheel supports 17 and 18. The carriage 15- is mounted to reciprocate relatively to the frame 10, being guided thereon by the cooperation of inverted V-sha (1 guides 19 on the frame, and suitable guideways 20 in the carriage. Means comprising a screw 21 connected to the source of power by a suitable gearing in the gear box 14, cooperates with a threaded nut 22 secured upon the carriage 15 to reciprocate the carriage to and fro upon the frame 10. Standards 23 support a suitable overhead motor supporting structure 24, upon which are mounted motors 25 and 26, which, through the

respective belts

27 and 28 drive the grinding wheels 29 and 30, respectively. Power is supplied to motors 25 and 26 from feeders 31, 32 and 33, located in a box 34 mounted upon a side of the frame 10 by means of

contacts

35, 36, and 37, secured to a bracket 38 mounted upon and carried by the carriage 15.

A pair of upwardly directed

supports

39 and 40 are secured to the carriage 15 upon 'one side of the roll, and a similar pair of

supports

41 and 42 are secured to the carriage upon the other side of the roll.

Cross bars

43 and 44 are ivotally mounted upon the upper ends of t e pair of supports respectively. Preferably, the

bars

43 and 44 are provided with knife edge bearings 45 at each end thereof, which rest upon the top of the supports and provide a fulcrum point, having a minimum amount of friction. Secured to each of the

bars

43 and 44 is a pair of depending

arms

46, 47 and 48, 49, respectively. The

arms

46, 47, and 48, 49, are pivotally secured to a swing rest 50 by means of

pivot pins

51, 52, 53 and 54 respectively. It will be noted that due to the above structure, the swing rest 50 is swingable transversely relatively to the carriage 15, to the frame 10, to the direction of reciprocation of the carriage 15 and to the axis of the roll 16.

Two pairs of

bearing brackets

55 and 56, and 57 and 58, are provided upon the swing rest 50. A bearing cap 59 is provided for each bracket and with the same forms a bearing for a pivot pin 60. The pivot pins 60 pivotally support

wheel housing bases

61 and 62, which are respectively disposed between the

brackets

55 and 56 in one instance, and 57 and 58 in the other. Upwardly extending pairs of supports, 63 and 64, and, and 66, are secured to the

wheel housing bases

61 and 62 respectively.

Cross rods

67 and 68 extend between the members of each pair of

supports

63 and 64, and, 65 and 66, the ends of which extend outwardly beyond the same. Pivotally mounted upon the ends of each

rod

67 and 68 are depending lifting pawls or bars, 69 and 70, and, 71 and 72 respectively. The lower ends of the pawls 69 to 72, inclusive, are provided with knife edge bearings forming a fulcrum point having a minimum I amount of friction.

The

supports

39 and 40 are provided with depending

bearin arms

73 and 74 respec tively, between w ich is pivotally mounted a lifter shaft 75. At each end of the lifter shaft 75 horizontally projecting arms or

shoulders

76 and 77 are provided, which are engaged by the pawls 69 and respectively, whereby rotation of the shaft in one direction will lift the

pawls

69 and 7 0, and through the

supports

63 and 64 will rotate the base 61 about the pivot pins 60in the

bearin brackets

55 and 56 of the swin rest 50. crank arm 78 extends upward y from the body of the lifting shaft 75 to which is pivoted an end of a connecting bar 79.

' The other end of the connecting bar 79 is pivotally secured to a crank arm 80, de-

pending from the body of a lifting shaft 81 which is pivotally mounted between depending bearing

arms

82 and 83 formed on the

supports

41 and 42. respectively. Horizontally projecting arms or

shoulders

84 and 85 provided upon the shaft 81 are enga ed by the

pawls

1 and 72 respectively, w ereby rotation of the shaft 81 in one direction will lift the

pawls

71 and 72, and through the

supports

65 and 66 will rotate the base 62 about the pivot pins 60 in the

bearing brackets

57 and 58 of the swing rest 50.

Through the agency of the connecting bar 79, both of the

lifting shafts

75 and 81 will be rotated in unison, insuring that the amount of rotation of one base will be equal to the amount of rotation of the other about the pivot pins 60. This tilting or rotation of the

bases

61 and 62 about the pins 60 will not affect the swinging action of the same, due to the fact that they are both mounted upon the swingable swing rest 50.

Each of the

bases

61 and 62 is provided with ways 182 in which

subbases

183 and 184 respectively, are adapted to slide. Each of the

subbases

183 and 184 are adjustable transversely relatively to the roll axis and upon the

bases

61 and 62 respectively, by means of an adjusting screw 185, which threadingly engages a threaded bushing 86, secured to each subbase. The screw 185 is rotatably mounted in a bracket 87 secured to the respective base.

A grinding wheel housing 88 is slidingly mounted upon each of the

subbases

183 and 184 by the cooperation of guides 89 on the subbase, with guideways 90 in the housing.

A screw 91 rotatable by means of a hand transversely adjustable, the wheels 29 and 30 .the wheel upon the roll when in operation thereon.

The

bases

61 and 62 with the wheel housings 88 and

subbases

183 and 184 aresu ported at the inner ends of each base upon t e Swing rest 50,. by the pivot pins 60, and are supported at the outer ends thereof by the

respective lifting shafts

75 and 81, throu h the medium of the

pawls

69 and 70 and 1 and 72 respectively, which engage the outwardly directed portions 76'and 77 of the

shaft

75, and 84 and 85 of the shaft 81, respectively. Due to the fact that the crank arm 78 of shaft '75 is oppositely directed relatively to the crank arm 80 of the shaft 81 and is connected therewith by the bar 79, the weight of the above wheel supportin structure actin upon the .

res ctive portions

76 and 77 an 84 and 85 ten s to tilt the wheels away from the roll 16.- To prevent such movement, and also to control the same, means is providedwhereby the

shafts

75 and 81 are adjustably retained. in a predetermined position. This means comprises an arm 96, which is secured to one of the shafts, in this instance, shaft 81,. and adjustable means whereby .the arm is maintained in a desired position to hold the

shafts

75 and 81 against rotative movement in one direction.

The means for holding the arm 96 com rises a member which is in engagement wit the arm 96' and is adjustable toward and away from this arm to allow relative movement of the member and arm toward and awa from each other. The member, which in thls instance, maintains the arm 96 to hold the

shafts

75 and 81, is a rotatable disk 98, the

' periphery of which engages a roller 97 carshaft 7 The rotation of the disk 98 through subried between the bifurcations in the. outer end of the arm 96. The disk. 98 is transversely adjustable upon the end of a shaft 99 relatively to the axis thereof, being provided with an elongated opening 100, withm which' is slidably seated a squareend 101 of the shaft 99. An adjusting screw 102 is adapted to move the disk transversely relatively to the axis of the shaft 99 and toward and away from the arm 96. The transverse movement of the disk upon the shaft 99 causes the periphery thereof to become eccentric to the axis.

stantially 180 degrees will, therefore, act upon the arm 96 through the roller 97 to rotate the lifting shaft 81 and through the wheels 29 and 30 toward the axis of the roll 16, which action will cause them'to ind a concave form upon the roll 16. Shouldthe disk 98 be moved. into concentric position relatively to the shaft 99, or prevented from rotatin' while in an of its adjusted position's, t 0 wheels won (1 grind. a straight surface upon the roll 16, inasmuch as the

shafts t7

5 and 81 would obtainno rotative movement from. the disk 98. When the disk 98 is adjusted eccentric to the shaft99 in a direction away from the arm 96, it follows thata con vex form will be of the roll 16.

. The disk 98 is rotated through 180 degi'eesor less, in most instances preferably less. This amount of rotation takes place durin each stroke or in each direcion of axial fee of the carriage 15 relativelyto the roll 16. Means ,is therefore provided for timing the rotation of the disk 98 relatively to the move ment of the carriage 15. A rack 103 is secured to the bed or frame 10 of the machine, by

brackets 104. A, casing 105, adapted to support the shaft 99, is bolted or otherwise secured to the carriage 15. The casing 105 is provided with suitable bearing arms which supporta pinion 106 in mesh with the rack 103. The pinion 106 is freely rotatable upon a shaft 107. A clutch 108 keyed to the shaft- 107 and operable to engage the pinion 106 by means of the hand lever 109 is slidabl 'mounted upon one end of the shaft 107. removable gear 110 is secured to the other end of shaft 107 and meshes with a removable gear '98 is moved into an ecground upon the surface '111, forming therewith a 'set. of change gears which, in order to obtain various changes in speed for the mechanism driven thereby, may be interchanged with others. The gear 111 is secured to a worm shaft 112, upon which is mounted a worm 113, which is in mesh with a worm wheel 114, secured to the shaft 99. By the proper selection of change gears110 and 111, the disk 98 may be properly rotated .to

tilt the grindingwheels toward the roll 16 durin their travel axially over the roll, where y a true and uniform, either concave or convex surface will be ground thereon when the disk 98 is set eccentric to the shaft 99.

When it is desired to grind a concave roll,

the machine is setup with the roll 16 in place and connected to its rotating means. The carriage 15 is run up'until the grinding wheels 29 and 30 are opposite the center of the roll or fled transversely toward the work, at interat the oint where the center ofthe concave form Will be formed. The disk 98 is rotatably' adjusted so that the transverse-axis thereof throu h with ac transverse axis of the roller 97 at which point there is usually rovide a scratch mark as at 115, Fig. 7. e disk 98 is then adjusted eccentricall jy to the shaft 99 by means of the screw 102. he 7 tuated. to connect the pinion 106 with the shaft 107 and the carriage 15" is moved to one end of the roll 16, or to a position to one side of the point where the center of the concave form will be ground, and the grinding wheels 29 and 30 are fed toward the roll until they en- 'age the surface thereof. The power feed or the carriage 15 is then thrown on and the wheels are carried thereby toward the center of the roll and beyond the same to the other end thereof this action being reversed by suitable mechanism to carry the wheels alon the roll in the other direction. This to an fro movement, during which the wheels are vals lgy meansof the hand wheels 92, causes the 98 to tilt the wheels toward and away from the roll in both directions of their axial travel, whereby the roll is gradually ground into concave form. In like manner, the parts may be arranged for grinding a convex form of roll, except, of course, the disk 98 must be moved eccentrically to the shaft 99 in the opposite direction.
