EDVARD A. MARSH, OF NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

MACHINE FOR AUIOMATICALLY POLISHING BALANCE-SCREWS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,160, dated December 25, 1888. Application tiled October l0, 1887. Serial No. 251,940. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that l, EDWARD A. MARsH, of Newton, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Automatically Polishing alance-Screws, of which the following is a specification.

In the periphery of expansion or compensating balances for watches are inserted numbers ot' small screws. The purpose ot' these screws is to provide means for obtaining any desired weight. oi' balance, and also for so adjusting the weight as to bring the balance into poise, and to so locate the weight as to enable the balance to be self-compensating. For these purposes it is essential that all the screws should be ot uniform size and weight, and it is desirable, moreover, that the heads of the screws should. have a uniform and handsome finish. The ordinary method oi' iinishing such screws has been to screw them one at a time in a chuck in a running spindle, then by means of a fine tile to reduce the end of the head to the proper length,` and then polish the same by a suitable block or stick of some hard wood on which was spread a paste ot' Vienna lime and oil; next, the periphery of the head was polished by means ot' a running lap or disk charged with lime and oil, the screw-holding spindle at the saine time having imparted to it an endwise-reciprocating motion. Aiter sufficient polishing, the spindle is stopped and the polished screw removed by means ot' a screw-driver, and the same operations are repeated on the next screw, dsc.

The objections to the foregoing methods are, first, the cost, by reason oiA the limited number done in a given time; second, lack ot' uniformity in size and `finish, and, third, vinferiority of iinish.

An improvement on the foregoing process has been made (so li'ar as relates to the iinishing of the face or end) by putting large numbers of screws -in a block or disk and grinding the entire lot to a uniform thickness and then polishing theml in the same manner, but as only the faces or ends can be done in quantities it remains to finish the sides or periphery one at a time; and to Jfacilitate as well as to improve this latter operation is t-he object ot' my present invention, which consists in the several combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed, inaking up an organized automatic machine.

Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l represents a top plan view of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a rear end view of the same, the supporting bed or base being shown in section. Fig. 3 represents a section on line .cr .11, Fig. l, looking toward the front end of the head-block. Fig. et represents a section on line 2f e, Fig. l. represents a perspective view of the lap, its supportingframe, and the devices for applying polishing material or paste to its acting end. Figs. G and 7 represent side elevations of the lap and the paste-applying devices. Fig. 8 represents a section on line g/ y, Fig. l. Fig. 9 represents a side view of one of the spindles and its screw-holding chuck with one of the screw-removing levers or jaws and the end of a pipe arranged to direct a jet of air on a screw in the jaws. Fig. 10 represents a sectional view of a spindle and its chuck and an en d view of a part of the lap.

The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.

In the drawings, A represents a headblock or carrier, which is fitted to rotate in bearings in a fixed supporting-trame, 7 2. Said head-block may be of any suitable construction; but the purposes for which itis intended are best subserved by the construction shown in the drawings-wiz., two circular ends or heads, 2 3, which rest in bearings formed in the frame 72, and a cylindrical connecting-bolt, 2', having at one end a head iitted in a recess in the outer side of the end or head 2 and at the other end a nut which bears against the outer side of the end or head 3. A sleeve, 3', on said bolt has its ends iitted in recesses in the inner sides of the ends or heads 2 3, as shown in Fig. 4, so that when the nut is screwed tightly the two heads or ends 2 3 are drawn firmly into place, &c.

In the ends ot' the head-block or carrier are journaled a series of spindles, a, placed at equal distances apart and in circular order. Said spindles are adapted to rotate freely on their own axes, but are prevented from moving endwise. Each spindle has at one end a chuck, 4J, which is internally screw-threaded IOO to receive the threaded portion of a balancescrew. The spindles are provided at their rear ends, or those opposite the chucks, with pulleys 5. A belt, 15, driven by a suitable motor, (not showin) is so arranged and guided by idle-pulleys 16 17 17 that it bears against the pulleys 5 of two of the spindlesiat opposite sides of the head and rotates said spindles simultaneously, as indicated by arrows in Fig. 2, the pulleys 5 of the other spindles being unaffected by said belt. One of the spindles which is thus rotated is in position to present the periphery of the screw-head held by its chuck to the annular acting' face of a lap, 21, affixed to a shaft, 22, which is arranged at right angles with the axis of the head-block A and is moved endwise by mechanism hereinafter described, so that it alternately approaches and recedes from the rotated screw-head. The other rotated spindle at the opposite side of the head is enabled bythe direction of its rotation to draw into its screw-threaded chuck a screw presented to it by the attendant, the head of the screw being held by nippers while its threaded shank is entering the spindle last referred to. The head-block is rotated step by step by mechanism presently to be described, so that each spindle after receiving a screw is brought step by step into position to be a second time rotated by the belt 15, and at the same time to present its screw to the lap.

The devices for rotating the head-block step by step are a ring, 32, Figs. 1 and 4, fitted to slide or rotate around the rear end of head-block 3. At a suitable position on this ring is attached a supplemental ring-section, 6, to one end of which are jointed a connecting-rod, 8, and a pawl, 7, also a spring, 7, which operates to cause the pawl 7 to entera notch, 14, in head-block 3, there being' a series of notches 14, corresponding in number and position to the spindles 4, as shown in Fig. 2. The opposite end of the supplemental ring has a projecting horn or arm, (52, which extends over the notched flange of head-block 3, and operates to lift the latch 13 from notch 14 by passin under the extended portion of the latch-arm. The lower end of connecting-rod 8 is jointed at 9 to a swinging arm or lever, 10, which arm is at its other end jointed to a fixed support at 9. From a suitable point between the two ends of this swinging arm or lever projects a stud, 10, carrying a roll, 102, which bears upon the periphery of a cam, 11, having a uniform slow rise reaching about five-sixths of its circumference and a rapid fall during the remainder of its circumference. Asuitable weight attached to arm 10 by a cord, C, serves to hold the roll lO2 in contact with cam 11.

Each movement of the ring 32 in one direction causes the dog 7 to engage a notch 14 and rotate the head-block one step or a distance equal to the space between each spindle and the next. The head-block is held after each movement by the spring-latch 13, which engages a notch 14 at the end of each partial rotation of the head-block, and is thrown out of said notch before the next partial rotation by the arm or horn G2, which strikes said latch and forces it back when the ring 32 is being moved to engage the dog 7 with another notch.

The shaft 22, carrying the lap 21, is journaled in bearings in a frame, 1.8,which is adjustably secured to a block, 13, which block is pivoted by a pivot, 20, to a stand, 19, affixed to the base 75. From the block 18 projects an arm, 33,which bears on a cam, 39, on the driving-shaft 40, and is oscillated with the block 18 by the rotation of said cam, whereby the lap is oscillated laterally and is caused to move lengthwise of the screw-head on which it is operating. The shaft 22 is movable longitudinally in the frame 1S, so that the lap can be moved away from the screw after the latter has been polished and while the next screw is being moved to position to receive the action of the lap. Said movement is effected by means of a rod, 25, which is parallel with the shaft 22 and is adapted to slide in the frame 18, a bell-crank lever, 42, which is pivot-ed at 44 to a fixed support and has an arm which bears on a cam, 43, on the shaft 12 and another arm against which the rod 25 is held by a spring, 26, an arm, 24, attached to the rod 25 at one end and forked at the other end, so as to partially embrace the lap-carrying shaft 22, and an adj ustable collar, 23, on said last-mentioned shaft bearing against the forked end of the lever 24.

The cam 43 is so formed and timed that it moves the lever 42 so as to cause the latter to force back the rod 25 and the lap-shaft 22 just before each partial rotation of the headblock, and releases said lever and permits the spring 27 to force the lap forward after the rotary movement of the head-block.

The lap-spindle is adjustable to com pensate for wear of the lap. To this end the collar 23 is made as a nut, which engages with a screwthread on the spindle. The rod 25 is made adjustable for thesame purpose by means of a screw, 26', which is adjustable in a tapped sleeve in the lever 24. The lap is preferably made of wood or other material suitable for polishing, and is charged or coated with a polishing-paste composed usually of Vienna. lime and oil or other liquid, which paste has to be applied to the lap at frequent intervals.

l iind that it is desirable to automatically apply the polishing-paste to the lap, and to this end place a receptacle, 31, for the paste under the lap, said receptacle being suitably affixed to the frame 18, and provide a pasteapplying roller, 30, which is mounted on an elbow-lever, 32, to which an oscillating motion is imparted, whereby the roll 30 is alternately inserted into the receptacle 31 to take up a portion of the paste, as shown in Fig. 6, and

IOO

raised and held in rolling contact with the acting end of the lap, as shown in Figs. 5 and 7, to deposit the paste on the lap. The elbowlever is pivoted at 33 to the side of the receptacle, and is jointed to a rod, 34, adapted to slide in guides in the frame in which the lap-spindle is mounted. Said rod is provided with a collar, 37, against which bears an cX- ,tension of the arm 24, which moves the lapspindle It will be seen, therefore, that when the lap-shaft is moved back by the arm 24e, as already described, the rod 54C is moved backwardly with said shaft, and is thus caused to turn the lever 32 so as to elevate the roll 30 and press the latter against the end of the lap. Vhen the arm 2i is carried forward by the action of the spring 2G, the rod 3l is also pressed forward by a spring, 3G, thereon, and is thus caused to depress the paste-roll, as shown in Fig. G, so that while the lap is operating on a screw the paste-roll is depressed, and when the lap is moved back the pasteroll is raised and caused to charge the lap. A continuously-running belt, 29, driven by a shaft (not shown) continuously rotates the lap-spindle, so that the lap is rotated when the roll 30 is presented to it.

Gl represents a brush attached to a shaft, G2, which is journaled in a bearing, U23. Said bearin g is provided with a socket, (56, through which passes a vertical screw-threaded standard, (S5, affixed to the bed of the machine. Nuts 6i, (i4- on said standard, bearing on the upper and lower sides of the socket (56, enable said socket and bearing to be adjusted vertically on the standard G5.

The brush is continuously rotated by a belt ruiming on a pulley, 7 i on the shaft (32. The brush is located in s'ueh relation to the headblock that it acts on the screw-heads after they have been .acted on by and removed from the lap, the step-by-step rotation of the head-block carrying each screw from the, lap to the brush. The spindle that presents the screw tothe brush is rotated by a belt, 77, which runs on pulleys 7S 7l) and bears between said pulleys on pulleys Si), affixed to the spindles 4 between the heads 2 23 of the head-block. The screw-heads are therefore rotated while the brush is acting` on them, so that the brush is enabled to act on all parts of their peripheries. The screws, after being polished and cleaned, are removed from the spindles by the devices next described.

5i 5t represent two levels, which are pivoted at 55 55 to an arm, 53, affixed to a tubular rod, 50, which is adapted to slide lengthwise in a socket formed for it through the axis of the head-stock. Through the tubular rod 50 extends a rod, 52, to one end of which is affixed a conical collar, Si, which is interposed between the upper ends of the levers 5i and tends to press said upper ends apart and force their lower ends together and cause said lower ends, which are provided with jaws 57 57, of soft metal, to grasp the screw held by the spindle 4, which is in the position succeeding that occupied while the screw-head is being brushed. The tubular rod 50 is engaged at its rear end with one end of a lever, 49, which is pivoted at- (f) to a fixed arm, 67, and is provided at its other end with a roll bearing against a cam, 4G, :formed on the edge of a disk, 47, on the shaft l2. A spring', 5S, interposed between the head -blo-ek and a iiange on the forward end ofthe tubular rod 50, forces the latter forward and keeps the lever 4:9 pressed against the cam eti). The tubular rod 5() and the arm 523 and levers 5-t held thereby are normally forced outwardly by the spring 5t, so that the levers 5 4: stand outside of the heads of the screws and do not interfere with the movement of the screws by the step-by-step rotationef the head. The cam 4U is timed to act through the lever if) to move the tubular rod `inwardly after each partial rotation of the head-block, and thus cause the jaws at the lower endsof said levers to move over the screw held by the spindle coinciding with said jaws. The jaws aremeanwhile held separated by a spring, 5G, connecting the upper ends of the levers 5l, the rod 52 being at this time forced forward by devices hereinafter described, so that it permits the upper ends of the levers 5-1; to approach each other. dien the jaws have been thus moved inwardly, the rod 52 is Vforced backwardly, thus inserting the conical collar Si' between the upper ends of the levers 5l and forcing the jaws 57 at their 4lower ends toward each other and causing them to grasp the screw between them. When the screw is thus grasped, the belt 77 is raised, by means presently described, and pressed against the pulley SO of the spindle holding said screw. rPhe direction of movement of the belt is such. that the spindle rotated bacluvardl y, so that the screw which is prevented from rotating by the jaws 5i is fed out or unscrewed from the chuck of said spindle, the spring 5S forcing the tubular rod 50 and levers 5-lf 5l Aforward as fast as the screw is Vfed until the screw is entirely removed from the spindle, after which the rod 52 moved forward to remove the conical collar 8l from between the levers 54, whereupon the serew-grz'isping jaws of said levers are separated by the spring 56 and the screw is released and drops to the bed of the machine, or into a suitablereceptaclethereon. Should the screws be caused by their lightness and the oil or paste that remains upon them to adhere to the jaws, they may be forced off by a blast of air directed upon the jaws by a pipe, P', Fig. i), which may be connected with any suitable air-'forcing device. The described movements of the rod 52, having the conical jaw-controlling collar 8l, are effected by a cam, l5, on the disk 47, and a lever, 48, pivoted at (38 to the vtiied arm G7 and bearing at one end against said cam and at its other efnd against the rod 52, and a spring, 5l, interposed between the rear end of the IOO IIO

tubular rod 50 and a nut, 60, on the rod 52. The cam and lever force the rod forward and the spring 51 forces it backward.

The means for raising the belt 77 and giving the spindle its backward rotation are a lever, 85, which is pivoted at one end to a xed support and carries the pulley 7 S at its free end, and a cam, S7, which supports the lever 85 and is formed to alternately raise and lower the same. When the lever is lowered, the belt is removed from the pulley SO of the spindle, so that the screwheld by the spindle cannot be rotated while the jaws are grasping it, injury to the head of the screws being thus prevented.

The tubular rod 50 is provided at its rear end with an arm, 70, which is slotted at its lower end and engages a fixed guide, 7l, on which it is adapted to slide. Said arm and guide prevent the rod 50 from turning and hold the arm 53 and levers 54 in their proper position. The shaft 12, carrying` the several cams, is rotated by the driving-shaft 40, which has a worm, 73, engaging with a worin-gear, 74, on the shaft l2.

It will be observed by reference to Figs. 2 and 3 that the spindles which are rotated by the belt l5 are rotated in aforward direction, so that the screw held by the operator and presented to the empty chuck of the rotated spindle, which is not in position to co-operate with the lap, will be fed into said chuck, while the spindle which is intermittingly rotated by the belt 77 is rotated backwardly, so that the screw held by the jaws 57 will be fed out of the chuck containing it, as already explained.
