  • a pressurized fluid actuated cylinder 82 is attached to the end of standard 72 with the free end of its piston rod extending towards a pendant bar-like member 84 (FIG. 4) attached to the end of block-like pivotal member 74. Accordingly, the end of piston rod is actuated into and out of contact with member 81 accordingly as pressurized fluid is supplied to conduits 86 or 87, respectively, connected to cylinder 79.
  • the end of the piston rod of cylinder 82 is actuated into and out of contact with member 84 accordingly as pressurized fluid is supplied to conduits 88 or 89, respectively, connected to cylinder 82.
  • the actuation of the piston rods of cylinders 79 and 82 cause the ends of such rods to contact the pendant members 81 and 84, respectively, supplies forces to such members which overcomes the biasing forces of the previously discussed weights such as 77 and 78 carried by members 73 and 74, respectively.
  • the purpose of such arrangement will be discussed hereinafter in an operational example of the invention.
  • a first generally upwardly extending support arm 91 including a base or foot portion 91a, is mounted on the top of block-like member 73 in any convenient manner such as by welding such foot portion to the top of member 73.

  • First and second pneumatic rotary motors 93 and 94 are clamped to the upper ends of arms 91 and 92, respectively, and such motors drive grinding wheels 95 and 96 carried on the ends of the respective motors. Pressurized aeriform fluid for driven rotation of motors 93 and 94 is supplied to such motors through conduits 97 and 98, respectively.
  • motor 93 is carried on the upper end of support arm 91 at an angle such that grinding wheel 95 contacts the outer border of the sealing edge of a funnel member such as 70 at an angle of approximately 45 degrees thereto.
  • motor 94 is carried on the upper end of support arm. 92 at an angle such that grinding wheel 96 contacts the inner border of the sealing edge of the funnel member such as 70 at an angle of approximately 45 degrees thereto.
  • grinding wheels 95 and 96 are preferably relatively long in comparison with their diameters and that such wheels contact the outer and inner borders of the sealing edge of a funnel part such as 70 at different points along the lengths of the wheels as the funnel member is rotated during a beveling operation, as described later.
  • pressurized fluid conduits 100 and 101 are connected to the previously mentioned rotary union 2.8 (FIG. 1) to alternately supply pressurized fluid to hollows 22a and 51a in shafts 2-2 and 51, respectively (FIGS. 2 and 3) as hereinafter described.
  • Rotary unions such as 28 are well known and such union may, for example, be a Deublin Rotating Union, Model 250A, which can be obtained from J. V. Tripoli & Company whose address is 1622 Fillmore Ave., Buffalo, NY.
  • pressurized aeriform fluid such as compressed air is supplied to conduit 101 which is connected to rotary union 28, while conduit 100, which is also connected to such rotary union, is connected to atmosphere.
  • aeriform fluid such as compressed air is supplied to conduit 101 which is connected to rotary union 28, while conduit 100, which is also connected to such rotary union, is connected to atmosphere.
  • Such fluid enters hollow 51a in shaft 51 and exerts a force upwardly against cap member 61 (FIG. 2) which causes sleeve 56 to slide upwardly along the outer periphery of the upper end of shaft 22.
  • plate member 64 and cover 67 are also moved upwardly at such time.
  • Pressurized fluid is also supplied through conduits 86 and 8 8 to cylinders 79 and 82 while conduits 87 and 89 are connected to atmosphere.
  • a funnel part such as 70 is then disposed on plate member 64 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, and conduits 100 and 101 are connected to said pressurized fluid source and to atmosphere, respectively.
  • Such pressurized fluid enters hollow 22a in shaft 22 and flows through passageway 59 at the upper end of such shaft and into space 58 to exert a force downwardly against sleeve member 56.
  • Such sleeve member 56 and its associated apparatus, including plate member '64 then move downwardly until the sealing edge of the funnel part 70 rests on the rollers such as 21 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • Conduits .87 and 89 connected to cylinders 79 and 82 are then connected to said pressurized fluid source, while conduits 86 and88 are connected to atmosphere.
  • Weights 77 and 78 then cause support arms 91; and 92 to move towards the sealing edge of funnel wheels 95 and -96 contact the outer and inner borders, respectively, of such sealing edge.
  • motor 27 is energized to rotationally drive, through gear box 26 and gears 24 and 23, shaft 22 and, thereby, sleeve member 56, plate member 64 and the funnel part such as 70 supported on the rollers such as 21.
  • funnel part 70 is rotated by plate member 64 disposed in the interior of the funnel member.
  • pressurized fluid is supplied over conduits 97 and 98 to rotationally drive motors 93 and 94 and, thereby, grinding wheels 95 and 96, to bevel the borders of the sealing edge of the funnel part such as 70.
  • the grinding wheels 95 and 96 are maintained against the outer and inner borders of the sealing edge of the funnel member by the bias force provided by the weights such as 77 and 78.
  • This force can be varied, if desired, by adding more weights or by changing to lighter or heavier weights as previously mentioned.
  • the larger and smaller radii of the sealing edge of such part move past the grinding wheels, such wheels move away and towards the center of the apparatus so that the beveling operations of the borders of the sealing edge move along the length of such wheels and wear of the wheels is thereby substantialy evenly distributed along the length of each respective wheel.
  • the apparatus illustrated is designed to accommodate, within upper and lower limits, funnel parts of other sizes than that illustrated.
  • the limiting factor is that the funnel parts must be of a size that have sealing edges that can be supported on the rollers such as 21.
  • the plate member 64 In accommodating funnel parts of a size other than that illustrated however, the plate member 64 must usually be changed to a corresponding size.
  • the invention has herein been illustrated and described in conjunction with the beveling of the borders of the sealing edges of funnel parts for television picture tubes.
  • the apparatus can also be employed for beveling of the borders of the sealing edges of viewing panels for said tubes, as well as the borders of the rims or lips of other vessels having round or generally elliptical shapes of a suitable size.
