  • the numeral Ill represents a work piece having a cylindrical bore I I which is to be ground, honed or polished, this work piece being a cylinder or lining of a gas engine, steam engine, an air compressor, pump or similar apparatus and held stationary on an appropriate support by any suitable fastening means.
  • the grinding mechanism may be of any approved construction so as to permit of expanding and contracting the working diameter of the same, but it is preferred to employ a grinding mechanism substantially like that shown and described in U. S. Letters Patent No. 1,610,681 dated December 14, 1926 and No. 1,692,661 dated November 20, 1928.
  • the particular embodiment of this grinding mechanism shown in the drawings is constructed as follows:
  • the numeral l2 represents the grinder body which is provided with a longitudinal bore l3 arranged axially in the body, a plurality of radial longitudinal driving grooves l4 arranged on the periphery of the body, and a pair of upper and lower guideways l5, l6 extending radially from the upper and lower part of the central bore l3 to the upper and lower parts of each driving groove.
  • Slidable lengthwise in the'upper and lower parts of the central bore in the body are upper and lower stone adjusting cones or wedge members l1, l8 which have their small ends opposing each' other and are held against tuming by spline pins l9 arranged on.
  • each pair of guideways l5 IS a pair of upper and lower shifting pins 2
  • a longitudinal holder 23 of channel form in which is mounted a longitudinal grinding stone or abrasive member 24.
  • the upper and lower parts of each stone holder engage their inner side with the outer ends of the corresponding pair of shifting pins 2
  • the shifting pins Upon moving the two adjusting cones toward each other the shifting pins are pushed outwardly whereby the stone holders and the stones carried thereby are likewise moved outwardly and the working diameter at'the outer faces of the stones is increased accordingly.
  • the resiliences of the annular springs 25, 26 draw the stone holders and stones inwardly together with the shifting pins during which time the inner ends of the shifting pins slide from the large part toward the small part of the cones so that the working diameter of the tool is reduced.
  • Rotation of the body of the tool and the parts associated therewith may be variously effected but in the present case this is accomplished by a tubular driving shaft having a lower section 28 connected by a lower universal coupling and with the upper end of the tool body l2 and an upper section 29 connected at its lower end by one or more screws 30 and one or more rivets 3
  • the lower universal coupling joint preferably comprises a ball 32 arranged at the lower end of the lower driving shaft section 28 and seated in a sphericalsocket 33 at the upper end of the tool body l2 and driving pins 34 arranged diametrically on the ball 32 and engaging its opposite ends with notches 35 in a part of the spherical socket 33.
  • the upper universal coupling joint comprises a ball 36 arranged at the upper end of the upper driving shaft section 29 and adapted to engage with a socket in the lower end of a power shaft or spindle, and a coupling pin 31 arranged diametrically in the ball 36 and adapted to engage its opposite ends with notches in the socket of the power shaft in the usual and wellknown manner in which tools of this character are now operatively detachably connected with a power source.
  • Means are provided for manually adjusting the radial position of the abrasive members or stones and therefore the working diameter of the tool either while the tool is at rest or while the same is in operation.
  • the preferred form of the diameter adjusting means shown in the drawings is constructed as follows:
  • a central adjusting rod 38 Arranged axially within the body of the tool and the tubular driving shaft is a central adjusting rod 38 which also extends through axial holes 39, 40 in the upper and lower cones l1, l8 which are of. somewhat larger diameter than this adjusting rod so as to permit of moderate lateral play of the adjusting rod in the cones and associated parts.
  • the lower end of this adjusting rod is connected with the lower cone l8 so as to form in effect a universal joint or coupling therewith by a transverse pin 4
  • the inner or central adjusting a rod is provided with an external screw thread 42 which is engaged by the internal thread of an upper adjusting screw nut 43.
  • the latter is provided at its upper end with a tubular hub 44 which is joumaled so as to be capable of rotating and also sliding lengthwise in a bearing 45 formed axially in the upper end of the upper driving shaft section 29, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • an outer or tubular adjusting rod 46 Surrounding the inner or central adjusting rod 38 is an outer or tubular adjusting rod 46 arranged in the lower driving shaft section.
  • the upper end of the outer tubular adjusting rod 46 is provided with an external screw thread and this is engaged by the internal screw thread 48 of a lower adjusting screw nut 41.
  • the lower end of the tubular adjusting rod 46 fits loosely in the bore 39 of the upper cone l1 and is loosely connected therewith by transverse pins 49, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5 so as to form in effect a universal coupling or joint between these parts.
  • the periphery of the outer tubular adjusting rod is somewhat smaller than the bore of the adjacent lower driving shaft section 28 in order to permit a moderate play between these parts which, together with the play between the irmer and outer adjusting rods and the universal joints between these rods and the cones, permit of transmitting motion to the cones for varying the diameter of the tool notwithstanding that the axes of the tool and the power shaft are not exactly in alinement.
  • a coupling is provided which compels the upper adjusting screw nut 43 and the lower adjusting screw nut 41 to turn together but permit these members to move lengthwise independently of each other. This is preferably accomplished by providing the lower end of the upper adjusting screw nut 43 with a tubular neck 49 which terminates in clutch jaws 56, and these are interspaced with corresponding clutch jaws 5
  • the threads of the screw joint between the upper screw nut 43 and the inner adjusting rod 38 and the threads of the joint between the lowerv screw nut 41 and the outer tubular adjusting rod 46 are of the same pitch but trending in opposite directions. Due to this construction the two adjusting screw nuts 43, 41 when turned in one direction will cause the inner adjusting rod 38 and its lower cone to be raised and the outer adjusting rod 46 and its upper cone to be lowered, and thereby force the stone holders outwardly for enlarging the working diameter of the tool, while upon turning the screw nuts 43, 41 in the opposite direction the inner adjusting rod 38 and lower cone will be lowered and the outer adjusting rod and upper cone will be raised, thereby permitting the contracting springs 25, 26 to draw the stone holders radially inward and reduce the working diameter of the tool accordingly.
  • the upper and lower cones are yieldingly pressed together lengthwise of the axis of the tool by a tension device which in its preferred form comprises a lower tension sleeve 53 surrounding the neck 52 of the lower adjusting screw nut 41 and provided with an external bearing disk 54, an upper tension sleeve 55 surrounding the opposing ends of the necks 59 and 52 of the upper and lower adjusting screw nuts 43 and 41 and provided with an external bearing disk 56, and a helical spring 51 surrounding the tension sleeves and engaging its.
  • a tension device which in its preferred form comprises a lower tension sleeve 53 surrounding the neck 52 of the lower adjusting screw nut 41 and provided with an external bearing disk 54, an upper tension sleeve 55 surrounding the opposing ends of the necks 59 and 52 of the upper and lower adjusting screw nuts 43 and 41 and provided with an external bearing disk 56, and a helical spring 51 surrounding the tension sleeves and engaging its.
  • a tension device which in its preferred form comprises a lower tension sleeve 53 surrounding the neck 52
  • An upper ball thrust bearing 58 is interposed between the upper end of the upper tension sleeve and the lower end of the upper adjusting screw nut and a similar ball thrust bearing 5 is interposed between the lower end of the lower tension sleeve and the upper end of the lower adjusting screw nut 41, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the adjusting ring in one 'for this purpose consist of one or more detent pawls 61 each preferably of ball shape and arranged in the upper end of a pocket 68 in the upper part of the upper driving shaft section and yleldingly held in engagement with the lower ends of the teeth of the internal gear rim 64 by a spring 69 arranged in the pocket 68 between the bottom thereof and the underside of the detent pawl 61, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the tension of the spring 69 is such that it normally holds the rim 64 against turning but will readily yield when sufficient manual pressure is exerted to overcome the spring 69 and thereby permit of adjusting the tool to the desired working diameter.
  • both of the cones together with the adjusting rods, and adjusting screws will move lengthwise as a unit or independently of each other in adapting themselves to the tapering form of the bore and when the latter by the continued grinding action on its high places by the stones has restored the same to true or straight cylindrical form, then the cones will automatically resume their normal position in which the stones are again maintained in a parallel position relative to the axis of the tool.
  • Means are provided whereby the stones of the tool are automatically retracted so as to reduce the diameter of the tool while withdrawing the same from a cylinder and the tool is retained in an inoperative position outside of a cylinder, but when the tool is inserted into a cylinder which is to be ground the stones are automatically projected to increase the working diameter of the tool and engage the outer faces of the stories with the cylindrical surface to be ground, honed or polished.
  • the numeral 10 represents a pilot which receives the body and abrading members as the same are withdrawn from the cylinder and guides the body and abrading members as the same are moved into their operative position relative to the work piece.
  • This pilot has preferably the form of an upright cylindrical sleeve or case which is arranged concentrically around the tool and the parts connected therewith and which may be held against movement by any suitable means, such for example as a bracket 1
  • a trip cam having the form of a ring 14 which surrounds the grinding tool and is provided with a bore
  • the numeral 11 represents a plurality of longitudinal shifting links arranged within the upper section of the hollow driving shaft and around the upper and lower tension disks 56, 54 and each of these links engaging its upper part in a notch 78 in the periphery of the upper tension disk 56 and its lower part in a notch 19 in the periphery of the lower tension disk, as shown in Figs. 4, 10 and 11 whereby these links serve to prevent the tension disks from turning relatively to each other.
  • each of the shifting links is provided with a head forming a downwardly facing shoulder 80 which engages with a shoulder 10! on the upper side of the upper tension disk,
  • each shifting link is provided with an upwardly facing shoulder 95 which engages with a shoulder I02 on the underside of the lower tension disk 54, as shown in Fig. 12, and thereby operates as means for limiting the distance which the tension disks can separate under the action of the spring and prevents the abrading members from being projected beyond the diameter of the circle for which they have been set.
  • each shifting link On the lower end of each shifting link a vertically swinging shifting lever is pivoted thereto by a horizontal pin 81 which lever is of elbow form and provided with an upper arm 82 which projects inwardly into a notch 83 in the adjacent part of the lower tension sleeve 53 and engages with the underside of the lower tension disk and is also provided with a lower arm 34 which projects downwardly and outwardly through a longitudinal slot 85 in the adjacent parts of the upper and lower driving shaft sections, as shown in Figs. 4 and 8.
  • each slot 85 Arranged lengthwise in each slot 85 is a trip shoe 86 which engages its central part with the outer end of the lower arm 84 of the respective shifting lever and has its upper end pivoted on the adjacent part of the upper driving shaft section while its lower end is movable radially in the respective slot 85.
  • the pivotal connection between the trip shoe and the upper driving shaft section is preferably effected by providing the upper end of this shoe with a cylindrical knuckle 81 which is seated between a recess 88 in the adjacent part of the upper driving shaft section and a retaining block 89 secured to the latter by a screw 90.
  • the outward swinging movement of each trip shoe under centrifugal action is limited by a lug 9
  • the adjusting screws 43, 41 have been set so that the tension disks 55, 54 are separated from each other a distance slightly less than the distance between the upper and lower shoulders Bil, 95 of the shifting links while the abrading members engage the bore of the work.
  • the trip shoes 85 are swung outwardly at an angle so as to present the upwardly inclined outer sides 93 of these shoes to the cam face '15 of the cam ring 74. While the tool is in this'position the same is rotated and reciprocated a sufficient number of times to remove the required amount of stock from the work piece in process of being finished.
  • the grinder is lifted so that its body is wholly withdrawn from the work piece and transferred to the inner side of the pilot sleeve or case 10.
  • this edge is provided with an upwardly tapering bevel 94 which is adaptedto be engaged by the upper ends of the abrasive members or stones upon lifting the same, together with the body, out of the work piece.
  • the stones may be adjusted radially to suit the amount of material which is to be removed from the bore of the work piece to be ground, and also to let out for wear on the stones.
  • the body and abrading members are first guided by the pilot sleeve 10 into the bore of the work piece and then the trip shoes 85 clear the cam 75 which permits the stone holders to expand under the action of the spring 51 which draws the cones together and pushes the stone holders outwardly until the stones engage the bore of the work piece.
  • the tool can be quickly inserted into and withdrawn from the bore of the work piece without interference and without requiring any special care on the part of the attendant, thereby enabling work of this character to be performed more expeditiously and economically.
  • the stones can be readily let out to make up for wear on the same and the stock removed, the spring feed device operates to automatically project the stones until the limit for which they have been set is reached, and the stones are automatically retracted when the tool is removed from the work piece and again projected when the tool is reinserted in the bore of the work piece.
  • the trip ring 14 is shown stationary in Figs. 1 and 4 of the drawings due to its being fastened to the pilot sleeve 10 by means of the screws 13. If desired this cam ring 15 may be rotatably mounted on the pilot sleeve by means of a plurality of pins 96 mounted on the pilot sleeve 10 and engaging an annular groove 91 in the periphery of this cam ring, as shown in Fig. 13.
