Breitenstein, Chicago, Ill. Continuation of application Ser. No. 492,282, Mar. 4, 1955. This application Nov. 14, 1960, Ser. No. 69,218 13 Claims. (Cl. 'S1- 225) This application for patent is a continuation of my prior copendin'g application Serial No. 492,282, iiled March 4, 195.5, now abandoned, and the invention pertains to machine tools, particularly tool-grinding, dressing, and like machines involving spiral and analogous complex motions and feeds, it being a principal object of the present disclosures to provide improvements in the class lof -device shown -n my U.S. Patent No. 2,375,052, .and to afford a compact, spiral grinding fixture of Ithis class which has an improved spiral feed mechanism land generally increased accuracy and versatility, facility of `adjust-ment and `opera-tion, together with extended capabilities as to the kinds of grinding and dressing operations it can perform, yall in the manner and for the purposes appearing more fully hereinafter.
One of the detailed features of the new grinding hxture is the provision of a compound, :spiral-feeding rack means comprising "a driving and `a driven rack pivotally coupled and slidably seated for relative adjustment yand actuation of a simple hand crank to produce either linear, angular, `or compound linear and angular displacement of a work spindle.
Another feature is the provision of a grinding head and a work head for producing radial relief from the inside concave periphery of an yannular grinding wheel.
A still further feature is the provision of a turret or work head carried on a swivel plate and simple means for selectively producing a variety of movements thereof in conjunction with a spiral feed mechanism of the class described.
In still another important aspect, the invention provides, .as a removable part `of a grinding fixture, a compa-ct grinding head usable in other fixtures and machines, and including a Iturret housing having a spirally movable work spindle extending therethrough and a cooperable pair of interpivoted and slidable gear racks, the rst one of which is carried on the spindle and the other of which is a pitch-or lead-determining rack and is movable with a rotatable cover plate `on the housing so as to travel in a planetary sense about the axis `of pivotal connection with the iirst rack, whereby to cause either, for both, a sliding motion Iand sometimes also a translatory movement of said rst rack `and of the spindle with it, when the cover plate is set appropriately, to produce a resulting rotation, or axial shifting, or compound rotary and axial shifting, of the work shaft, right- `or lef-handed, depending on the angular setting of the cover plate and the resulting planetary disposition of the pitch rack, all in ythe manner and for the purposes more .fully appearing hereinafter.
Additional objects and advantages relate to the construction and operation of the embodiment of the invention described hereinafter in view of the annexed drawings in which:
'FIG. l is a perspective view -of the new spiral `grinding fixture;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the same Ito reduced scale;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary operating detail of the grinding head of FIG. 2 shown in position for left-hand leads;

FIG. 7 is a partial plan detail looking down upon lower companion parts of :the spiral feed mechanism 1ying Ibeneath the parts of FIG. 6 and is taken in the direction of lines 7-7 -of FIG. 4;
FIG. 8 is a sectional detail taken along lines 8-8 of FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is a fragmentary plan detail looking downupon the drum head swivel pin for determining right and left leads (9 9, FIG. 4);
FIG. V10 is a fragmentary view of Ithe swivel pin means of FIG. 9 illustrating the setting for right-hand leads;
FIG. 1l -is a horizontal sectional detail through the drum head looking down upon :the spiral racks in the attitude for producing a right-hand lead.
As viewed in FIG. 1, the new fixture `comprises a 'base casting 20 having a sloping apron 21 on which is seated land adjustably secured, as 'by nuts 22, a grinder motor 23 having'a double-ended Vshaft on which are carried 'grinding wheels 24 and V25, the latter being annular t0 provide an inside arcuate cutting cface 25A and a flat front face 25B. A tool rest 27 is carried by the motor frame at wheel 24.
Seated -on the base is a swivel plate 30 (FIG. 5) rotatable about la removable pivot and held-down pin 31 litted into a bored boss 20A in the base casting, said pin being secured and tightened down by a clamp screw 32 having a large knob -33 accessible on the side of the device.
Referring still to FIGS. l :and 5, the Work head includes a turret drum v3:4 seating `on the swivel plate rand secured to the latter hy clamp nuts 35 (seen in FIG. 2) adapted to be tightened down -on'to the drum ange 34A.
The top of the turret head is closed by -a cover plate -38 (FIGS. l and 5 vhaving a marginal scale 39 graduated in :degrees to be read relative to an index mark 40 carried on a small hold-down plate which, with clamps 41, keeps fthe cover plate in position. Spaced nger pins 42 `are used to swing the plate when the clamps are loosened.
Exteriorly, the cover vplate car-ries a bored boss 38A in which is journalled a feed-crank spindle 43 having a ball-handled lever arm 44. A rotatable clamp stop 45 is adjustably positionable von the neck of the =boss to limit the swing of the feed crank as desired.
As 'seen in FIGS. 4 and 11, the lower end of the crank spindle carries a pinion 48 meshing with van upper slide rack 49 seating (as in FIG. '6) in `a channel casting 50 carried on the underside "of the cover plate. This is the driving rack and is also referred Sto .as the pitch rack.
Carried Vin bearings 54, 55, fitted into the wall of turret or drum-head, is a work spindle 56 having a chuck 57 Iat one end thereof, and certain indexing knob mechanism 58, 59, 60, at its other end and which are-carried on a spindle sleeve 63 to which said mechanism` is 1secured by thumb screw 65, said spindle sleeve, in turn, being locked against longitudinal displacement by a lock screw 66 (FIG. 4) turned Awith the Iaidiof Iball handle 67. For spiral motions the lock screw 66 must be released so that spindle sleeve 63l can move.
ACarried on the spindle sleeve 4ris another rack-channel or slide 'casting 68 ('best seen in FIGS. 4 and 5) having a second or driven slide rack 69 therein with teeth on the bottom thereof to mesh (as in FIG. 5) with pinion teeth '70 formed `on the free end of the spindle sleeve. The rack carrier 68 is wide enough to ride on a pair of webs 64 which are part of the head casting :or turret drum 34.
The upper and lower slide racks 49 and 69 are pivotally interconnected by a coupling pin 71 (seen `to advantage in FIG. 11). These two racks and associated pinions and cranks constitute the spiral-feed means for the work spindle, as will more fully appear hereinafter.
As shown in FIG. 9, the swivel plate 30 has formed thereon .a slide track 30A in which is itted a slide 73 (FIG. 4 also) having threaded therein .a slide-adjustment screw 74 acting on a thrust pin 75 bearing against the col-lar boss 30B of the swivel plate and capable of thrusting the slide `outwardly when the screw is turned in, for purposes to appear.
At one side o-f the center line of the sl-ide plate y73:v is a bore provided with a set screw 76 to hold an eccentric pivot pin 77 which projects upwardly into one or the other of two eccentrically located pivot holes 34X, 34Y located in the turret-head iloor (FIG. 7).
By removing the slide 73 and turning it over after resetting the pin 77, the latter can be made to enter either of the eccentric pivot holes 34X, 34Y ot the turret head so that the entire work head can be made to move back and -forth relative to the normal longitudinal work axis through the grinding wheels when the slide screw 74 is appropriately manipulated, for either rightor left-handed end-grinding, `as will appear.
The whole work head may also be swung crosswise of the normal work :axis by manipulation of a swing screw S (FIG. 7) threadably carried in a post 30C on the swivel plate. The end of this swing screw bears against a vertical rib 34D on the side of the head casting.
On the opposite side of the head from the swing screw 80 is a spring backing plunger S3 (FIG. 7) carried in a sleeve 84 fitted into a post 30D on the swivel plate and carrying Ia loading spring 85 which urges the nose .of the plunger against another vertical rib 34E on the opposite Side of the head to urge the latter `oppositely to the advancing effort of the swing screw 80. The two oppositelyacting swing forces tend to turn the work head (when free to move) about the eccentric pivot pin 77 on the swivel plate as an axis, but this `axis is not concentric with the axis of the main clamp pivot pin 31, and the crosswise swing of the housing is therefore on a different radius from the turning of the swivel plate.
Operation By loosening the thumb screws 41 and grasping the finger pins 42 the cover assembly may be turned to a desired angular setting with reference to the index mark 40. In the zero scalar position the upper or pitch rack 49 will lie exactly crosswise lof the work spindle and therefore be parallel to the lower or driven rack 69 (as in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6). This zero setting produces no lead, only a rotary motion of the work spindle responsive to turning of the main feed crank 44.
To produce a spiral motion, the cover plate assembly is turned from the zero setting to the required angle of lead, for instance one resulting in the angular attitude o-f the pitch rack 49 (shown in FIG. l1). Now when the ball crank y44 is turned, the crank pinion 48 will advance the pitch rack 49 diagonally, thus urging the coupling pin 71 diagonally with lforce components which tend to displace the lower rack 69 both crosswise and longitudinally relative to the axis of the work shaft, so that the latter will turn and advance simultaneously.
If the pitch rack is yset Iat 90, it will lie parallel to the work spindle, so that turning of the feed crank will then produce only an axial shifting, and no rotary motion, of the spindle.
All intermediate settings produce different spiral leads, rightor left-hand, depending on the orientation of lthe pitch rack crosswise of the spindle. For instance, the advance of -this rack in the setting of FIG. 11 (the work .chuck lying toward the left in this view) will produce a right-hand rotation and lead. The opposite diagonal setting .of the pitch rack would produce a left-hand lead. p
In FIG. 2 the turret head and motor are set to grind a radial relief on the flutes of an end mill A having a righthand lead. 4Preparatory to this operation, the end mill is 0, 7 -vance the end of the milling tool against the face of ing the slide plate over, simply shifts the center for the seated in chuck 57 and the work head -is swung to the dotted-line position of the chuck with the end mill A in position opposite the gauge 90, which (as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5) includes a feeler point 91 near the end of a pivoted feeler lever 92, which will remain motionless when the spiral motion means is set to the correct angle of the lead, drill or end mill rotated to cause the utes to travel spirally along the gauge point. If the setting is wrong, lever 92 will rock slightly up or down, depending upon whether the lead angle is set too yfast or too slow.
Having set the turret head and spiral feed for the proper lead, the head is swung back to the position of FIG. 2 and the grinding operations are commenced on the rst llute.
When the work piece A is chucked, the index knob 58 is set on the Number 1 position by depressing the nger detent lever 59 (FIG. 4) and turning -the knob 58 to the rst notch in index collar 60, the latter usually required some turning relative to the workpiece after loosening of set screw 65 if the utes have not been exactly positioned in chucking the piece.
'I'he flutes thereafter are successively Afed across the abrasive wheel and ground with the desired radial relief by turning the feed crank 44 to the limit of its stroke determined by pre-setting of the adjustable stop 45 (FIG. 2). As each flute is run down, the detent 59 is depressed and the spindle knob 58 is turned -to the next index notch for the succeeding flute, until all llutes have been ground.
The :disclosed machine is relatively simple, yet is capable :of performing highly accurate grinding operations and radial relief work -of many kinds `ordinarily requiring more complex and costly feed mechanisms and controls of the class described in my prior Patents Nos. 2,445,194; 2,452,702; 2,452,703; and 2,479,281. Such performance is primarily the result of the combination of a concave ` grinder 25, 25A carried on a spindle (here part of motor unit 23) mounted to swing laterally of the axis `of the main work spindle, together with the lateral swings and other special adjustments afforded the latter by the disclosed pivotal mounting of the turret head, as well as the novel spiral-motion means structurally and cooperatively related therewith in the manner described.
FIG. 3 illustrates the reverse positions (compared with fFIG. 2) for the annular grinding wheel 25 and the chuck 57 for grinding a relief on the yflutes of a leftlhanded work piece B, it being understood that such reversal will lalso require reversal of the `grinder motor 23 'by moving the switch R, L, to the L position (FIG. l).
In order to grind lend mills, the same are chucked, as in either FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, and the small reed screw 74 nuts 35 (FIG. 2).
For a left-handed lead, the slide plate 73 will be set l as in FIG. 9 with the off-center pivot pin 77 on the right- `hand side of the main pivotal axis l(at pin 3l) and viceversa for a right-handed lead, as in FIG. l0.
The axial end of the work piece, the end mill A, for
instance, will he ground .on the at axial face 25B of the abrasive wheel but the teeth (the stud ends of the several diutes) are not ordinarily ground flat, but are slightly idished by imparting a somewhat arcuate or radial sweep of the milling teeth across the hat face wheel. This arcuate sweep motion includes a slight advance of the work head toward the grinding wheel with a simultaneous but very slight lateral swing in the sense .of sweeping across the face 25B.
Thus, the slide screw 74 is turned in while the swing screw is manipulated to cause the main head body to pivot slightly von the eccentric pin 77 (FIG. 9) and adthe grinding Wheel in a very slight sweeping motion.
Changing positions of the eccentric pin 77, as by turnradius of the swing about pin 77 to the other side of the true center `of the turret; and manipulation of slide screw '74 shifts the position of pivot pin 77 toward or back away from the grinding wheel, this latter motion being linear or angular depending on whether the swing screw 80 is manipulated at the same time; also, the linear motion can abe predirected by setting the swing screw 8d in advance of turning the slide screw 74.
Numerous lother 'operations can be performed by the novel fixture in dressing or formagrinding multi-fl-uted dri-11s, cutters, reamers, form tools, step drills, etc'. Moreover, the turret head 34 may be easily removed from the swivel plate and lbedded in a milling or other machine.
