Referring DOW t0 Fig- 1, I provide e 45 being a handle I5 by means of which the entire Clamping lealr 43 Which may be Constructed as apparatus may be moved along the rail I2. disclosed in the patent to Gherky referred to, and
Thecarriage Il may be reciprocated in the ways which as therein described comprises a pair of referred to by means of an electric motor i6 similar halves each havingfcomplementary semisecured to a bridge l1 and extending upwardly cylindrical channels M, which channels are posi- 50 from the parallel frame members l0 and Illa, tioned to receive the spindles 2S with a loose iit which motor I6 has a gear I8 secured to its armawhen the bricks 26 are arranged in tandem relature shaft driving a somewhat larger gear I9 tion as shown in Fig. 1 and spaced by separator secured to a shaft 20 Which is journaled in a plates 45. The respective halves of the clamping bracket 2l uprising from and attached to the far bar 43 may be locked together by means oi bolts 55 46. Between the halves of the clamping bar 43 is located a head G1 below a reduced portion 48, the head 4l' being on the lower end of a screw 49 operated by a hand wheel 5t the screw threads of which fit in a nut 5| held by a bridge 52 whose sides 53 are connected to and uprise from the sides of vthe carriage ll as more clearly shown in the patent to Gherky referred to. By means of the hand wheel 58 and screw L29, the bar 43 may be raised and lowered, and may be urged downwardly by the pressure of a spring 54, all as more clearly set forth in the aforesaid patent to Gherky.
The front or left-hand end of the carriage l l has an inclined wall Se and the bricks 26 extend between the vertical right-hand or rear wall of the carriage l l and the vertical plate 6l which is spaced from the inclined wall Si] by a wedge 62. By means of a screw 63 extending through a nut @il and a bridge S5 supported by vertical members 6G extending upwardly from the carriage il, the wedge 62 may be forced downwardly, a hand wheel 61 being provided to rotate the screw 63, and this construction, which is also illustrated in the patent to Gherky referred to, constitutes means for holding the bricks in the carriage l l without excessive knocking during grinding, at the same time allowing raising and lowering of the bricks in lthe carriage ll.
The separator plates 45 are U-shaped, as disclosed in the patent to Gherky referred to, and are carried by the carriage, and do not prevent the bricks from being lowered until all of the abrasive substance thereof is used.
t should be understood that the description of a particular type of track grinder is illustrative merely and that the brick and spindle of the invention may be utilized in many different types of machines. A particular feature of the present invention resides in the fact that each brick is directly secured to the clamping bar and in contact with it; nevertheless owing to the bevelled surfaces on the top of each brick which have already been described, there is no tendency to abrade the clamping bar. As shown in Fig. fi, the clamping bar rests against the upper surface of the rectangular portion 3l and does not contact the brick 2S at all. Slight skewing of the bricks in the machine due to the reciprocation does not bring the top surfaces of the bricks against the clamping bar owing to the beveling of these surfaces. 'I'he manner of attachment of the spindle 29 to the brick secures a strong and permanent union. The construction is inexpensive and for a given sized machine a brick of relatively great height can be used, and the major portion of the brick is usable for actual grinding in the machine.
It will thus be seen that there has been provided by this invention an apparatus in Which the various objects hereinabove lset forth together with many thoroughly practical advantages are successfully achieved. As many possible embodiments may be made of the above invention and as many changes might be made in the embodiment above set forth, it is to be understood that all matter hereinbefore set forth or shown in the accompanying drawing is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
I claim:-
1. A track grinding brick and spindle comprising a block of bonded abrasive material, a spindle, there being a depression in the top of the block, an enlarged portion integral with the spindle located in the depression and having a shoulder flush with the highest part of the top portion of said block, cement securing the enlarged portion to the block, and the top of the block being bevelled away from the spindle.
2. In a machine of the class described, a frame, a carriage mounted to reciprocate in said frame, means to reciprocate said carriage, a plurality of track grinding bricks each comprising a block of bonded abrasive material, a spindle projecting upwardly from said block, the top portion of said block being bevelled away from said spindle, an enlarged end of said spindle embedded in said brick and cemented thereto and having a shoulder ush with the highest part of the top portion of said block, and a clamping bar mounted in said carriage and surrounding the spindles of the several track grinding bricks and resting upon said shoulder, the entire construction eliminating,V
wear of the bar -due to relative motion between the bar and the bricks.
