I My invention relates' to an apparatus designed and worked out particularly for grindinglong cylinders," such, for example, as are used in the u landing gear of heavy air craft and where speed and accuracy are required.
Among the salient objects of my invention are: to "provide an apparatusEby means of which a cylinder of any length can be accurately ground or reground for the purpose of providing a true,
smooth and perfect fit of the plunger within said cylinder; to provide an apparatus which canbe adjusted as to its grinding element relative to the holding and guiding sleeve which enters the cylinder; to provide a device ,of the character referred to which is simple, practic-aland highly eflicient in accomplishing the desiredendj and, H in general, 'to provide a grinding apparatusof *the character referredto which can be used in cylinders of any length and can be adjusted for have illustrated one practical embodiment thereof on the accompanying sheet of drawings,whic h I will now describe. In the drawing; Figure l is a side elevation of a lathe showing my invention in place theren',,with the cylinder to be ground also in place ready to'receive the grinding apparatus; I
Figure 2 is an enlarged side elevation of my invention, detached and partly in section to show theinterior thereof; a Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig.2; and
Figure 4 is a cross sectional view taken on line l----4ofFig.2. I
Referring now in detail to the drawing; 5 desig nates as a whole a lathe of any standard type; having the usual chuck 6, traveling' carriage TI and the usual operating mechanism. This mechanism forms no part of myinvention proper, but
my invention is, used in connection with such a lathe.
The invention 'as here embodied consists of a body, sleeve or cylinder 8, having in its outer end @ber H, an operating shaft I2 is mounted to be driven from a pulley [3, as hereinafteragain referred to.
Secured to the other end of said body cylinder 8, is an extension l4 provided along one side with a groove I4, seen in Fig. 4 also, and in its a bearing member 9; resting against an annular of its bore,'as at l5,'inwhich, on the shaft l2, is a ball-bearing element 16, with a' retaining disc orplate I'l, securedagainst the end of the extension member l4, said plate having an open ing 1 8 therein large enough to permit of a limited lateral movement of the end of theshaft l2, in a manner to be described. T
Mounted over said extension M; is an outer bearing sleeve IS, the endof which is extended beyond the retaining plate I1, and is provided at one side with an opening 20, through which a grinding element 2|, mounted on the shaft l2, canprotrude to-differentdistances. It is to be understood thatthe end of the shaft l2 flexes slightly to permit the grinding element 2| to be moved to and through the opening for different distances for grinding the inside ofcylinders of different diameters. This lateraladjustm'ent is accomplished by two adjustment screws21 and 23, through the end of 'the extension member 14,
as seen in Fig. 4, the inner ends of said screws bearing against the ball-bearing element It, the opposite side of which element bears against the side ofth'e oval opening or enlargement l5 of the cylindrical extension M. This adjustment is accoinplished by turning one screw out and the other in, the ball-bearing element being thus moved in the oval opening l5 and operating to move the grinding element out or in, through the side opening 20 in the outer or hearing cylinder l9. shaft l2, hasa' three pointbearing at all times and is held in place by the two screws 22 and 23. A pipe 24 is niountedalong side of the body cylinder 8, and connects at its inner end withthe groove I 4, the other endbeing adapted to'be connected with a source of grinding fluid tobe discharged ontothe grinding element 2|, as clearly indicated in Fig. 2. Thus the invention proper is assembled as a unit. I
I will nowdescribe how the invention proper is used in connection with a standard. lathe. A holding bracket 25 is mounted on the carriage l of the lathe, as seen in Fig. 1, and the outer end of the body cylinder 8 is clamped therein, as at26 A motor 21 is also mounted on said car}- riage 'L'as indicated, with drive pulley :8 gri belt 29 to the' drive pulley l3 on the shaft ll o f the device. Thus the grinding device 'is moved forwardly endwise as the carriage l is moved on the lathe.
The tube or cylinder, designated 30, to be ground, is secured at its end in the chuck 6, as shown, with a holding bracket 3| on the lathe bed Thus the ball bearing element 16, on the r for holding the outer end of said tube or cylinder rotatably in position to be bored.
It will be understood that the outer bearing sleeve 19 of the grinding device fits snugly in the cylinder and that the grinding element 2! is adjusted to protrude through the opening 252 in the side of said bearing sleeve E9 to engage and grind the inner Wall of the tube or cylinder 38 as said tube or cylinder 39 is rotated by the lathe chuck 6.
Thus I have provided a very simple, yet a very practical and successful apparatus for accurately and rapidly grinding long tubes or cylinders and the adjustment of the grinding element is accomplished by the slight flexing of the shaft laterally, as will be understood from the showing in Fig. 2, and While I have shown and described in detail one practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limit the invention to the details of construction and arrangement, except as I may be limited by the hereto appended claims.
