9 Claims.
This invention relates to lathe head-stock structures ofthe class wherein the work-piece, in the nature of a rod-like body is passed through a hollow head-stock spindle and is held by a holder in the nature of a collet-type chuck. The invention is more particularly concerned with novel chuck operating mechanism in two forms, one for a draw in chuck and the other for a push out chuck, one operating in a direction reverse to the other. The invention will best be understood by reference to the following descrip-l tion when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings ofboth forms, while its scope will be pointed out more particularly .in the appended claims. Y

Referring to the drawings and to the embodiments of the invention illustrated therein by way of example, and having reference at first to Fig. 1, there is shown a portion of -a lathe comprising a bed I6 supporting a head-stock I8 having transverse walls 26 and 22 which support appropriate bearings, presently to be described, for a hollow, head-stock spindle 24. In the present example there are two such bearings, and one of them is a one-row ball bearing while the other is a two-row ball bearing. The rst bearing corn- (ci. 27s-.52)
prises innerand outer races 26 and 28 and an in` termediate set of balls 30, while the second cornprisestwo inner races 32, two outer races 34 and two `sets of balls 36. It is deemed unnecessary to describe the bearings ,in further detail. The head-stock yspindle is suit-ably driven as by a pulley 38, herein grooved to receive V belts 46, ,and suitably secured to the spindle.
In the draw in type, the head-stock spindle has an internal taper `l2 which receives an external taper 44 on a hollow, collet chuck 46 provided with longitudinal slots 48 to render the same resiliently contractible by being drawn in (i. e. moved to the left as viewed in Fig. 1) by -a hollow chuck spindle 50 whose inner or righthand end is secured to the adjacent end of the chuck as by a screw thread 52 having suiiicient end `clearance to allow axial adjustment ofthe chuck to suit variations in diameter of the work. The chuck is suitably held vagainst rotation in the head-stock spindle 24 butis permitted to Amove axially thereinas by providing the chuck with a. keyway 54 which receives a key 56 attached to the head-stock spindle.
Ahand-wheel 58 is located at the outer end of the coaxial hollow spindles, and is secured to the chuck spindle 5l] (see`Fig.\5) as by screws 66, commonly called Dutchman threaded partly into the hand wheel and partly into the chuckspindle. It will be remembered that the chuck and the chuck-spindle have screw-threaded connection wth each other and that the chuck, although free toI move axially, is prevented by the key 56 from turning in the head-stock spindle. It follows that, by grasping the hand-wheel 58 and turning the chuck spindle 50, the chuck m-ay be drawn in to the extent necessary to` establish preliminary engagement of the internal surface 62 of the chuck with the work.
To maintain the adjustment thus obtained, screws 64 threaded into the hand-wheel are then screwed inwardly into firm engagement with a friction ring 66 non-rotatably coupled to the adjacent end of the head-,stock spindle 24 as by jaws or teeth 68 on the ring received in correspending slots 1li in the end of the spindle. The slots are of suflicient length to provide a clearance beyond the ends of the jaws. Thus, the pressure of the screws 64 against the friction ring 66 forces a shoulder 12 on the latter axially against a shoulder 14 on a second friction ring 16, which, as shown in Fig. 4, is suitably secured as by screws 'I8 to the hand-wheel 58.
'Ihe binding of the friction ring 66 against'the friction ring 16, as just described, prevents relative rotation of the two spindles 24 and 58 inasmuch as the friction ring 68 is, as stated, nonrotatively coupled to the outer end of the spindle 24. All is now in readiness for the application of clamping pressure of the chuck 48 against the work by a powerful inward pull of the chuck produced by the closing mechanism now to be described.
The closing mechanism comprises an actuator, herein a ring 19 (see Fig. 1) which turns about the common axis of the described spindles, and is provided with a handle 88. This turning movement is utilized to impart an axial movement to the chuck-spindle 50 by appropriate mechanism such as an outer sleeve 82 secured to the outer end of the head-stock I8 as by screws 84 and having an internal, left-hand, screwthread 86, mating with an external screw-thread 88 on an inner sleeve 98. It will be convenient, sometimes, to refer to the outer, internally threaded sleeve as the nut, and to refer to the inner, externally threaded sleeve as the screw. Inasmuch as the nut is held fixed by reason of the fact that it is secured to the head-stock, it follows that rotationpof the screw is accompanied by axial movement of the latter.
Assuming then that the screwfmoves outwardly, i. e. toward the left as viewed in Fig. 1, its movement is imparted to the chuck spindle 58 through a suitable thrust bearing hereincomprising ball-races 92 and 94 and intermediate balls 9B. The race 92 rests against a shoulder 98 presented by the inner ring 98 and the race 94 rests against the friction ring 16. On the other hand, when the screw moves inwardly, i. e., toward the right in Fig. 1, the movement is imparted to the chuck spindle 50 by reason 'of the fact that the outer face of the ring 16 is engaged by a shoulder presented by ring |82 suitably secured to the screw 9|) as by -a thread |84 and a fastening element such as screw |08.
Returning now to the actuating ring 19, the latter is conveniently mounted to turn on and about the sleeve 82 (sometimes called the nut) and is received between a shoulder ||0 on said sleeve and a collar ||2 secured to said sleeve. Hence, the actuating ring, though free to turn, is prevented from moving axially. Turning movement of the ring is conveniently communicated to the screw 90 (see Fig. '7) as by a stud ||4 carried by the ring and projecting radially inward through a circumferential slot H6 in the nut 82 and into a slot I8 (see Fig. 1) in a hardened bushing |20 pressed into a correspondingly shaped opening in the Vring |02 (see Fig. 8), and iszadditionally secured by two Dutchmen screws It follows that partial rotation of theactuating ring 19 is accompanied by corresponding rotation and consequent axial movement of the screw 90, and this axial movement is communicated to the chuck spindle.
The normal position of the actuating ring is as shown in Fig. 7 with its handle 80 upright. Partial clockwise rotation of the ring, herein through an angle of 45 from'the position shown causes the chuck to grip the work firmly. A
' detent pin |22 has a rounded head |24 which,
under the urge of a spring |25, between the head and a bushing |28, enters either of two bushings |38 and |32 the proper angular distance apart, in this instance 45 degrees, thus to hold the actuating ring in either of its two positions.
As already indicated, the foregoing description is concerned with a chuck of the draw-in type.
To adapt the invention to a chuck of the pushout type, certain modifications are made and they are illustrated in Figs. 9 to 14, inclusive. Those parts which remain unchanged, or substantially so, will not require a second description, and so far as possible bear the same reference characters as before. It is therefore convenient to proceed directly to the modications occasioned by the push out arrangement as distinguished from the draw in arrangement.
In this instance, a spindle-nose |34, suitably secured to the head-stock spindle 24, has an internal taper |38 which receives an external taper |38 on a chuck |48, and the direction of taper is the reverse of that hereinbefore described. In this instance, the chuck does not have direct, screw-threaded connection with the chuck-spindle 50, but instead there is an indirect connection comprising a coupling |42 threaded into the spindle, and this coupling has a key-way |44 registering with a key-way |46 in the chuck, and both key-ways receiving a key |43 which holds both against rotation with relation to the headstock spindle 24, Hence, turning of the chuckspindle 50 in the proper direction produces axial outward movement of the chuck because the chuck abuts endwise against the coupling |42. When, on the other hand, the chuck spindle is retracted, i. e. moved toward the left as viewed in Fig. 9, the resiliency of the chuck, tending to open the same, plus the rather abrupt angle of the tapers |36 and |38, causes the chuck to recede and follow the chuck spindle.
Turning now to the operating mechanism, it is evident that the thrusts should be reversed as compared with the draw in type. This involves not only a reversal of the threads of the screw and nut, but also a reversal of the surfaces which operate through the thrust bearing. In this form, the screws 18 (see Fig. 12) secure to the hand-wheel 58 a friction ring |50 which takes the place of the friction ring 16 of the first form and has a shoulder |52 resting against the shoulder 12 of the friction ring 86 which remains unchanged. However, in this example, the friction ring |50 is greatly elongated, as best shown in Fig. 12, and to it a collar |54 is appropriately secured as by a screw-thread |56 and by a stud |58 (see Fig. 9) screwed into said collar and proiecting radially inward into said friction ring. The collar |54 is disposed at the right-hand side of the thrust bearing as contrasted with the first form in which the friction ring 18 is disposed at the left-hand side of the thrust bearing.
In this second example, at the left-hand side of the thrust bearing, there is a shoulder |60 presented by a ring |62 secured as by a thread |64 and by a screw |68 to an inner sleeve |68 (best shown in Fig. 14) having a right-hand, external thread |18 which mates with an internal thread |12 (see Fig. 9) formed in an outer sleeve |14. It will be convenient in this case, also, to refer to the inner, threaded sleeve |68 as the screw and to refer to the outer, threaded sleeve |14 as the nut, as in the first example.
It should now be evident that rocking of the actuating ring 19 of the second example by movement of the handle 88 toward the operator acts through the screw |88 and nut |14 to push the chuck |40 outwardly, i. e., to the right as viewed in Fig. 9, thereby causing contraction of the chuck and consequent gripping of the work, and conversely that rocking of the handle rearwardly causes the chuck to relax and to release the work.
In each example, the required movement of the operating handle is slight, and the movement is smooth and powerful.
