Description
Patented May 14, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE rrooL GRINDING FiX'rURE Application September 1, 1938, Serial No. 227,995
3 Claims.
This invention relates to work holding xtures for tool grinding machines and particularly to a iixture for resiliently supporting the work piece or tool being ground or sharpened against the Wheel during the grinding operation.
A primary object of the invention is to provide a fixture on which the work piece or tool being ground or resharpened may be resiliently mounted and having its work holding member held in its operative position by a spring, the pressure of which may be widely varied as required.
With the above and other objects in view the invention may include the features of construction and operation set forth in the following specication and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
In the accompanying drawing annexed hereto and forming a part of this specication, I have shown the invention embodied in a fixture or holder for grinding and resharpening lathe and planer tools and adapted for mounting upon a small size tool grinding machine, but it will be understood that the invention can be otherwise embodied and that the drawing is not to be construed as dening or limiting the scope of the invention, the claims appended to this specication being relied upon for that purpose.
In the drawing:
Figure l is a plan view of the fixture forming the present invention shown mounted upon the movable table or work support of a standard tool grinding machine.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the fixture shown in Fig. 1, parts being broken away to more clearly show their construction.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the fixture taken from the rightl hand end as seen in Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a tool adapted to have its chip clearing groove ground in the fixture forming the present invention.
In the above-mentioned drawing there has been shown but one embodiment of the invention which is now deemed preferable, but itis to be understood that changes and modications may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Briefly, and in its preferred aspect, the invention may include the following principal parts: first, a base adapted to be secured directly to the movable table of a universal tool grinding machine; second, a body member pivotally mounted thereon near one end on a horizontal axis; third, a lever pivotally mounted intermediate its ends in the base and bearing at one end against the lower surface of the body member at the end of (Cl. 51-2l8) the body member opposite that at which the body member is pivoted; and fourth, a spring engaging the opposite end of the lever and retaining the lever in a position to support the table. in its elevated or operative position.
The particular embodiment of the invention illustrated is adapted to grind or resharpen the upper cutting surface of the tool; that is, the surface interceptng the front substantially vertical surface and which forms the cutting edge. As best seen in Fig. 4, the surface formed by the wheel is in the form of va narrow channel arcuate in cross-section and extending the length of the cutting edge. This surface forms, with its intercepting vertical surface, a cutting angle of somewhat less than a right angle and the narrow channel forms a chip guiding and breaking means on the upper surface of the tool.
Referring more in detail to the figures of the drawing, there is shown a base I0 adapted to be secured in position on the table II of a universal tool grinding and sharpening machine, the wheel I2 of which is shown disposed obliquely to the direction of travel of the table I I. Means to relativelyv adjust the heighth of the table II and wheel I2, to angularly adjust the path of movement of the table II relative to the wheel I2 and to traverse the table II past the wheel forming parts of the grinder will not require further description. These parts form no part of the present invention and are those usually found on tool grinding machines. To aline the base I0 with the machine table I I, studs I3 fitting a T-slot I4 in the table II are fastened into the lower surface of the base.
Extending transversely across the base IIJ is a projection I5 within which is supported a horizontal pin I6. Mounted on this pin I6 for limited pivotal movement is a body member I'I. As shown in Fig. 2 the body member II near one end engages the pin I6 and at an intermediate point is supported upon or by means of a lever I8, there being a roller I9 at the end of the lever I8 bearing against the lower surface of the body member I 1. A lug or bracket member 20 secured to the lower surface of the body member I'I has an extended end portion closely tting the roller so that with the lever I8 held in position the body member I'I- is secured against movement up or down.
The lever I8 as shown in Fig. 2 is pivotally supported at an intermediate point on a horizontal pin 2l mounted in a projection on the base I0. The pins I6 and 2I for the body member I'I and lever I8 respectively are disposed parallelly to each other. Adjacent the end of the lever I8 opposite that on which the roller I9 is mounted there is secured a stud 22 vertically disposed in the base and passing through a hole provided therefor in the lever I8. Bearing against the upper surface of the lever I8 and surrounding the stud 22 is a helical spring 23, Vthe upper end of which bears against a nut 24 threaded upon the upper end of the stud 22. By adjustment of the nut 24 on the stud 22 the pressure exerted by the spring 23 to retain the lever I8 in the position shown in Fig. 2 may be Varied over a Wide range.
The tool W to be ground or resharpened is mounted on the upper surface of the body member I1, there being a projection 25 thereon against Which a side of the tool W may rest. A clamp 26 may be mounted on the body member I1 engaging the upper surface of the tool W to securely hold the tool in position. As shoWnin Fig. 2 the tool being operated on is positioned during operation so that the end having its upper surface ground may be substantially above the inner end of the spring retained lever I8 and substantially above the roller I9.
To enclose the pivot pins It and 2|, the roller I9 and inner end of the lever I8 to protect these parts from the entrance of abrasive dust, felts 2 may be held against these ends by means of thin metal plates 28 and 28d, the plate 28 at the left hand end of the body member Il being cut to t closely about the lever I8, as shown in Fig 2.
In operation and with the base I I! mounted 'on the table II of a tool grinding machine the tool W to be ground or resharpened is clamped as shown to the body member I'I. The table II mounting the base IE! is angularly adjusted so that the tool W being operated on will be disposed properly relatively to the wheel I2 and the direction of reciprocation of the table. With the table II and Work W so adjusted, the table II is reciprocated in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. l. The table II is raised relative to the wheel I2 so that the wheel successively cuts deeper into the narrow chip clearing and breaking channel formed in the upper surface of the tool W. The pressure of the wheel i2 against the tool W is limited by the spring 23 and is regulatable to effect the best cutting action by adjust- 'ment of the nut 2li.
The metal plates 23 and 28a compress the felts 21 against the end surfaces of the projections in the base Il! through which the pivots I6 vand 2l extend so that a substantial amount of friction is set up. This causes the body member Il to move upward extremely slowly when depressed by the Wheel I2 engaging the work W. By this means the spring 23 When compressed is prevented from rebounding to immediately raise the body member I1 to its upper position and unduly loading the wheel. The cutting action is therefore made more uniform and effective.

1. A vwork holding fixture for tool grinding machines comprising in combination, a base member, a body member pivoted theretoadjacent one end, tool clamping means on said body member, a lever pivotally mounted in said base member intermediate its ends, one end of said lever supporting said body member adjacent the end opposite its pivoted end, a spring mounted adjacent its opposite end resiliently retaining said lever in position to support said body member in operative position, and means to adjust the pressure of said spring.
