(01. 5192) This invention relates to a feed for a grinding rotation of the gear l9, which is fixed to the screw or milling machine or automatic lathe, or the shaft 20, rotates that screw shaft and, through like, in which the feed will be diminished at the a screw threaded nut 2| carried by a slide 22, end of the stroke. adjusts the slide back and forth.

After oil under pressure is introduced into a chamber 54, constituting a cylinder, against the head of a stationary piston 55 fixed to the base I0, oil will be driven through a meter valve 56, which can be adjusted as desired, into a cylinder 51 in which the head of the piston is located. It will be noticed that there is a spring 58 behind the head of the piston 5| which is guided and serves to reset that piston.
The novel features having been described, the operation will be described with reference to Fig. 2 which shows also some features that are in a general way in use at the present time. The pipe line 55 is supplied with oil or other operating liquid from a pump 62 through a relief valve 53 which has a connection 54 to a tank. Therefore, in operating the push button 6!] the oil under pressure is sent through this connection from a pipe 65 to a pipe 53, energizing the solenoid operated four-way valve 5|, allowing oil to flow into the cylinder 54. This builds up pressure against the stationary piston 55, forcing the wheel head v23 forward until the eccentric or cam 46 which, it will be remembered, is mounted on the wheel head, hits the stop 41 as illustrated.
The pressure then builds up in the cylinder 5! against the end of the piston which carries the rod 5| and the rack 45. This piston is forced back in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2. The rack being in mesh with the pinion 44 on the shaft 37 turns the cam or eccentric 46 mounted on the same shaft in the direction of the circular arrow in Fig. 2 against the stop 41. This gives the drive a diminishing feed rate at the end of the stroke. The rate of feed is controlled by the metering valve 56. When the rack comes to the end of its stroke it trips the limit switch 59 to energize the other side of the four-way valve 5|, thus reversing the direction of the oil through a pipe line 13 and bringing the wheel head to the starting position. At the same time the spring 58 moves the piston rod 5| forward. This resets the eccentric or cam 46.
As there are two stops in the form shown in Fig. 2, this action can occur at both ends of the stroke. Meantime, the pressure is held in the forward cutting direction as the oil by-passes from the cylinder 54 to the cylinder 57, during the diminishing feed period. The relief valve 63 holds the ressure in the line 65 slightly under the high pressure limit.
It will be noted that the hand wheel 34 is pulled out to break the mesh between the bevel gears and at the same time it shifts the gear 44 into mesh with the rack 45 for hydraulic feed. The gear 54 is out of mesh with the rack for hand feed when the gears 35 and 36 are in mesh and the hand feed can take place by the turning of the hand wheel 34. The pressure is maintained between the base Hl and the threaded screw 25 at all times, thereby eliminating back lash. The bearings for this screw are mounted on the base Ill. The adjustment of the slide 22 carrying the stops 4'! and 48 is to take up wheel wear and also to provide for working of different diameters. The form shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and described above is to secure diminishing feed of a wheel head at the end of a stroke.
In the form shown in Figs. 3 to 6 the corresponding device is designed for the feed of a table. It is hardly necessary to describe the differences but it will be noted that the feed of the oil is substantially the same and the same reference numerals have been applied to it. In this case the table ID is shown as moving in the direction of the arrow. The plunger 5| with the rack 45 thereon is operating in connection with the pinion 44 and turning the eccentric or cam 46 against a single stop II. The pinion 45 is operated by a hand wheel 12 capable of moving into full and dotted line positions in Fig. 4 to bring it into and out of mesh with the rack 45. The operation is substantially the same as in the other case and the same results are secured, it being understood that the slide 22 shown in the other figures is also to be applied to this in the same way and with the same adjustment or in the equivalent thereof.
