' The valve which is'to be ground is laid with the stem 24 restingin the groove 14 in the head 13 and the bars 17 are then swung upon the screws so that they lie transverse- 'ly' over the stem in which position the slot 19 partially surrounds the screw 20 so that by tightening the latter the lug 22 having the groove 23 is moved into contact with the upper side oi the valve stem 24. The block is then swung radially by means of the'bolt 8 in the bore 7 so that; the valve headf25 is brought intocontact with the grinding wheel 1 while the axis of the stem is lying at an angle of 45 to'the .axis of the. wheel. The
valve head is then-swung away from contact with the wheel and the screws 15 and. 20. are
tightened to maintain the stem in this position while a handle 26 is-placed over the end of the stem for the purpose of rotating the stem.
' Theha-ndle 26 has a circular hub adapted to surround the valve stem and is'provided with a set screw 27 extendingradially through the hub to engage the valve stem so that rotation of the handle rotates-the valve. The
turning of the screw causing the valve stem to be moved longitudinally.
To'obtain the proper 45 angle it might be found advisable to graduate the upper end of thepost 3 and the head 10 orthebolt 8 by markings whichwill indicate the angle which the valve head is. being grooved; By supplying a pivotal connection between the block 13 and head lOby means of theears 11 and 12 through whicha bolt'29 is passed it becomes possible/to obtain 'acontact with the periphery' of the wheel which will grinda't 45? It is also found desirable at times'to graduate the ears 11 and 12 so that the-blok 13 maybe definitely secured with the groove 14 on a parallel plane to the axis of the wheel 1 or in other words parallel to the surface of the supporting bench.
In Figures 4 and 5 a power driven grinding wheel is provided and mounted upon a conventional stand having a rod 30 supported by arms 31 attached to the supporting frame.
.To mount the present fixture to a wheel showing these characteristics the lower end of the post 3 isprovided'with a pivoted connecting means 32 and a bolt 33 for clamping the post to the rod 30.
In Figure 6 is illustrated an alternative de-' vice for receiving the stem 24 of the valve which comprises two blocks 34 and 35, the block 35 havingan ear 36 to be received between-the ears 11 onthe head 10, and'also having a drilled hole 37 to accommodate the bolt 29. The blocks are provided with semi-circular grooves 38 and 39 which combine to form circular openings of different sizes-to accommodate valves having stems of varying diameters. The two blocks are secured together by screws 40 provided with wing nuts 41. a portion of each block being bored to receive coiled springs. 42 adapted to force the blocks apart when the thumb screws 41 are released.
I Byexperimentation it has been found that? a greater smoothness and regularityingrin ding the' valve'head is attained by employingfa rod- 42, recelved in a drilled boss 43 on the lower side of the head 13, the rod being held in m0 any desired position by aset screw44, this being clearly illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings The rod 42 is provided with a goose-nec'k 45 and a bent back portion 46 upon which is slidably mounted a sleeve 47, backed.
by spring 48 which exerts pressure outwardly on the sleeve; The rod 42 is held by the set screw so that the sleeve 47 is in contact with the valve head 25 with the spring 48 slightly compressed wherebythe sleeve exerts resilient pressure against the valve'head. Th s construction providlng the resilient pressure against the valve head tends to pre ventvibrationofthe valve head while it is in contact with the grinding wheel and permits a smoother ground surface to be obtained.
It becomes apparent from the description that the fixture for supporting the work is of such nature and qualification that it maybe employed infactory or workshop without interfering with the ordinary use of the grinding wheel. Its most desirable feature is,
however, that it may be 'conveniently carried in a boat to be used in caseof an emergency in which it is found necessary that the'valves should be ground while on a cruise. V
The deviceis illustrated and describedas a fixture for grinding valves for internal combustion engines, but it is not limited to that use alone as it may also'be used for supporting various other articles at grinding angles.
Specific structural embodiments have been illustrated and described but it is to be understood that various alterations may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit of my invention as depicted in the appended claim.
What I claim is I i The combination with a grinding wheel, of a vertically extending post adjustably se- 10 cured in spaced relation thereto, a grooved block mounted to swivel and rotate on said post, adjustable work retaining members on said block adapted to engage the stem of a valve to secure the latterthereon, a goose neck rod adjustably secured to the bottom of said block to extend outwardly beyond the head of said valve, a sleeve slidably mounted on a portion of said rod that is'bent back towards said valve head, and a spring surrounding a portion of said rod and engaging said sleeve in a manner to force it into contact withsaid valve a head.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
