worm-wheels 31 may be locked to or unlocked from their screws: 33, a shaft extending across and through the bed under the worm-wheels 31-and having fast upon each end a worm 76 to give motion to the worm-wheels: 34, (Fig. 2) aipair of bevel gears united and fastened to each other and splined to the cross-shaft 33, within the hollow of the tail-stock: 35, a shaft journaled in the tail-stock parallel with the axis of the lathe and 011 a level with crossshaft 33: 36, a bevel-gear on the inner end of shaft 35, adapted to be engaged by either bevel-gear 34 according to which way the sliding bevel-gears are shifted: 37, a cone-pulley on the outer end of shaft 35: 38, a con e-pulley onthe tail end of driving-shaft 22, in line with pulley 37 and serving to transmit motion by belt to shaft 35: 39, a shifting-lever for moving the pair of gears 34 on their shaftso that whichever gear desired may engage with gear 36, the selected gear determining the direction of motionof the rail screws and, consequently, the direction of feed for the saddles: (Fig. 2) a feed-shaft mounted upon the back 'ofthe bed: 41, acone-pulley fast on the head endof this shaft to permit shaft 40 to be driven by belt from the cone-pulley 8 on the arbor: 42, a pulley fast on the tail end of shaft=40z 43, the tail-slide, sliding longitudinally in the top of the tail-stock, and having its top surface in the form of a flattened V or gutter below the axis of the lathe, each of the V surfaces being provided with a T-slot 77 extending the length of the slide; see Fig.
6: 44, a feed-shaft journaled across the tailstock and providedwith a pinion meshing with the rack on tail-slide 43, see Fig. 2, so that by turning the shaft the slide may be moved or fed endwise: 45, a worm-gear loose on this shaft: 46, a friction-gri p device on the shaft, like the arrangement on the rail-screws, for engaging and disengaging the shaft to and from the Worm-wheel: 47, a hand-wheel on this shaft to serve in turning the shaft by hand when the feed is disengaged, a removable crank beingused for similar purpose in connection withthe rail-screws: 48, the worm for giving motion to worm-wheel 49, a spur-gear fast on the shaft of this worm: 50,
an arm swinging on the bearing of the shaft of the tightening of the feed belt: 53, (see Figs.4 and 6) a bushing-holder bolted to the tail slide and having a bore in the axial line of the lathe, this holder being adapted to re- :ceive various sized bushings for the support of the tail end of: mandrels being employed or to support work being operated upon by the tool or tools of the tail-slide: 54, a toolblock bolted on the front uppersurface of the tail-slide: 55, the bolt which secures this tool-block to the tail-slide by engaging the front slot of theslide: 56, the tail-tool, supported in the tool-block and presenting its cutting end toward the axis of the lathe, the outer end of the tool having an upward project-ion: 57, a clamp engaging over the tool 56 and held down by the, same bolt i that bolts the tool-block to the tail-slide: 58, a rigid portion of the tool-block, projecting over the tool, outwardly beyond the clamp: 59, a setscrew screwed into the outer surface of this rigid portion and impinging with its head against the upward projection at the heel of the tool: 60, a set-screw screwed inwardly through an upwardly projecting portion at the outer end of tool-block 54, its point impinging against the heel of: the tool, set- screws 59 and 60 thus serving in adjusting the tool in and out: 61, a steady block bolted to the rear upper surfaceof the tail-slide and presentingat its inner end a V adapted to engage the surface of work being operated upon bythe tool 56, this steady-block having a slotted bolt hole so that it maybe adjusted to and from the work: 62,,(Fig. 1) a longitudinal T-slot in the outer face of each of the railsr63, former-plates bolted in these ITO slots against the faces of therails, the formportion consisting of a horizontal member having a longitudinal slot of a form suited to the contour to be produced upon the work by the action of thecutting tools carried by the saddles, it being understood, however, that the-form of the slot is to be the reverse of the desired path for the tool guided by it: 64, (Fig. 5) the saddle nuts of the cross-feed screws 29, these nuts, instead of being fixed to the saddles, being capable of in and out motion therein, but incapable of rotation, the nuts being carried in slots in the saddles: 65, alever, one at each saddle, pivoted to the saddle and provided at its lower end with a pin or roller engaging the slot of the former-plate, the contour of the pin or rollerbeing such as to permit of the oscillating motion of the lever under the influence of the form slot, the upper end of thelever being provided witha segment of teeth engaginga rack formed on the nut of the cross-feed screw, the arrangement being obviously such that as the saddle moves along the rail the lower end of the lever will move inor out according to the form of the slot and thus cause the cross-feed screw and the tool rest to move in or out, thus causing the turning tools to produce contours the reverse of the form slots: 66, pin holes through levers 'and the saddle portions which support the levers, the insertion of pins in these holes serving to lock the levers 65 fast when the lathe is to be used without the form plates,
the elfect of the pin being to lock the nuts 64 against motion in the saddles: 67, a turret mounted for rotation on each of the tool-restsv 28, on 'a vertical axis, like the-upper portion of an ordinary compound rest; 68, (Fig. 2) two boltspassing vertically through each ofv theiturrets, and arranged diametrically oppo-v site each other in the turrets, the heads at the lower ends of these bolts engaging the annu-w lar T-slots in the tool-rests: 69, clamp plates upon each of these bolts: 70, the turret-tools,
a pair for each turret, the pair of tools strad-. dling the bolts and being clamped to placeby the bolts, the bolts at the same time-serving in clamping the turrets to the tool-rests, the two toolsof apair being reversed, so that the cutting end of, one tool and the heel of the other tool project in-the same direction, the cutting ends however projecting out: wardly beyond theheels: 71 (Figs. 2 and 7),
. a 'cross-girt extending across the bed, in-
wardly beyond the face of the chuck, and some (distance below the lowest plane swept by a radius representing the swing of the lathe, this girt being cast with the bed and having ayertical socket, vertically beneath the axis of the lathe: 72, a shank vertically adjustable in this socket, and clamped therein, as by a set screw, the upper end ofthis shank being jawed lengthwise of the lathe: 73, a
rest-piece sliding endwise in the jaws of the V shank: 74, (Fig. l) the pinion previously re-, ferred to as engaging gear 24: 75, the dovetailed cross-slide ways of the saddles, previously referred to: 7 6,'the worms previously referred to as engaging worm-wheels 31 on the rail screws: 77, the T-slots of the tailslide, previously referred to.
The very peculiar form of the main framing of the lathe gives the lathe a stiffness and renders iticapable of superior steadiness in action and renders possible the taking of heavier cuts than other'forms have rendered consistent with accuracy. For, heavy work the arbor will be driven through the slow motion gearing, and for lightv work, or for the.
polishing of large work, the quick motion gearing may be readily brought into action.
The chuck is adapted especially for pulleys and other armed structures and the clamping bolt 17 may be readily adjusted around the chuck to suit the position of the arms to be clamped. Plug 11 has its inner end threaded to fit the threads of the arbor. The hole for set-screw 10 is first drilled in the collar 8 and plug 10 is driven tightly into the hole. The collar is then bored and threaded, thus also threading the inner end of the plug. The plug is then driven out and the hole tapped the proper depth for theset screw, and the pl'ugis slightly reduced in size so as to be free in the hole.
When work is to be finished upon a mandrel, the mandrel is held inthe taper socket of the arbor and its tail end may run in a bushing carried in the bushing-holder of the tail-slide, thus giving a stability not obtainable when the work is carried on centers. Bolto13 draws the mandrel tightly into the socket andmay serve as means. for knocking the mandrel out of the socket, in an obvious manner.
For straight work to be done by carriage tools, the pins are used in holes 66, and the form-plates 63 are removed. Form-plates with difierent guide-slots may be applied as needed.
One tool of a turret may be used, and then the turret may beturned around and the opposite end of the other tool employed, the two tools of a pair being difierent, as, for instance, one a roughing tool and the other a finishing tool. As the work revolves in the usual direction, it is obvious'that the thrust is upward upon the tool of the rear carriage, and it will be observed that the tool clamping are rangement is such that one of bolts 68 which meets the strain is brought extremely close to the work. -In previous constructions of lathes the disposition of joints andbolts has been such as to make the taking of heavy cuts inconsistent with accuracy of production.
With the bevel gears in the position shown .in Fig. 2 there will be no mot-ion of shaft 33..
ently by the friction devices 32, and shifting lever 39 may be employed to install or arrest both rail feeds simultaneously, while friction devices 32 are in active engagement. The rate of rail feeds may be altered by shifting the belt 011 cones 38 and 37. The rate of the tailslide feed may be altered at cones 8 and 41.
For work on shafts and such like pieces, the work is to be held in suitable chuck substituted for the chuck shown. The work slides through a proper bushing carried in the bushing-holder and is operated upon by tool 56, or a series of similarly arranged tools, and steadied at the back by steadyblock 61, the feed being produced by the movement of the tail-slide, the entire arrangement at the tail-slide constituting, in effect, a massive box-tool.
Work like pulleys and gears, may, if desired, be simultaneously turned and bored. While being turned the work may be bored by a suitable boring bar with one end supported in the bore of the arbor and the other end held in the bushing-holder of the tailslide.
When the lathe is to operate on quite a number of pieces, like pulleys, for instance, of the same size, the rest-piece 73 will be found extremely useful in assisting in the chucking operation. The first pulley of the lot having been chucked central, the restpiece 73 may be adjusted to have a fair bearing below the pulley and this adjustment may be retained for the lot of pulleys, the rest piece serving to support the pulley in fairly central position while being chucked. After a pulley has been chucked, the rest-piece 73 may he slid to the right out from under the pulley so as not to be rubbed by irregularities of the pulley.
Two tools may be fixed in one of the turrets with their, cutting ends pointing opposite, the cutting end of one tool projecting beyond the heel of the other tool. One tool may be a roughing tool and the other a finishing tool, and after the first has been used, the turret may be turned to bring the other one into position for action. Or, the two tools of a pair may be of any similar or diverse character called for by the requirements of the work. Or, both tools may be double ended, thatis, a cutting end at each end of each tool, thus permitting four cutting tools to be brought successively into action by suitably turning the turret and moving the tools endwise so that the active one will project beyond the inactive one. Where many pieces of work, like gear blanks, are to be faced on both edges of the rim and to uniform thickness, the two turret tools may have their cutting ends project the same way and be set the proper distance apart, and the double facing thus done by one in-feeding of the tools, and, in such case, the tools may be double ended, one end doing the rough facing and the other end of the tools doing the finishing. The system also permits of accurate gaging for this class of double facing as it permits of the turrets being grooved to receive and hold the tools at an exact proper distance apart to suit special work, special turrets being provided for special work, the turrets thus serving as tool-supports and as gages.
I claim as my invention- 1. In a lathe, the combination, substantially as set forth, of a chuck having an annular T- slotted rim projecting inwardly toward the tail-stock beyond the end of the lathe-arbor, and clamp-bolts engaging said slot.
2. In a lathe, the combination, substantially as set forth, of a saddle, a tool-rest, a crossfeed screw journaled in the tool rest, a nut for said screw fitted for endwise motion in the saddle, a form-plate secured to the slideway on which the saddle moves, and a lever pivoted to the saddle and engaging said nut and form-plate.
3. In a lathe, the combination, substantially as set forth, of a saddle, a tool-rest, a crossfeed screw journaled in the tool-rest, anut for said screw fitted for endwise motion in the saddle, a form-plate secured to the slideway on which the saddle moves, a lever pivoted to the saddle and engaging said nut and formplate, and a locking device, as a pin, to prevent the movement of said lever on its pivot.
4. In a lathe, the combination, substantially as set forth, of an annularly slotted tool-rest, a turret thereon, tool-clamping bolts diametrically arranged in and engaging the slot of the tool-rest and passing through the turret, and a pair of tools resting on the turret and straddling said bolts.
5. The combination, substantially as set forth, of a bed with two rails, a feed screwin each rail, a driving-shaft extending the length of the bed,gearingconnectingsaid shaft with the lathe-arbor, a cross-shaft geared to the two rail-screws, a sh aft parallel with said drivingshaft and geared to said cross-shaft, and aligned pulleys on said driving-shaft and parallel shaft.
6. In alathe, the combination, substantially as set forth, of substantially a V-shaped tailslide provided with apair of longitudinal T- slots disposed at an angle to each other and a tool-holder bolted thereto.
7. In alathe, the combination, substantially as set forth, of a tail-slide provided with a pair of longitudinal T-slots disposed at an angle to each other, and a bushing-holder and tool-holder bolted thereto.
8. The combination, substantially as set forth, of a T-slotted slide,a tool-holder thereon, a tool having an upward projection at its heel, a tool-clamp over the tool, a bolt passing through said clamp and tool-holder and engaging the slot of the slide, and a pair of set-screws carried by the tool-holder and engaging the opposite faces of thesaid tool-projection.
9. In alathe, the combination,substantially as set forth, of a socketed cross-girt in the bed of the lathe, a shanked rest having a vertical movement carried by such socket, and a rest-piece fitted to slide horizontally in such shanked rest. y 10. In a lathe, the combination, substantially asset forth, of a taper mandrel-socket in the inner end of the lathe-arbor, a mandrel adapted to fit said socket, and an axially disposed holding bolt connected directly to said mandrel, and a tail-slide, and a bushing-holder bolted to the tail-slide.
11. In a lathe, the combination, substantially as set forth, of a hollow lathe-arbor, hav-' ing an axial bearing throughout the same, a tail-slide, and a holder bolted to said tail-slide and adapted to carry the tail end of a bor- Witnesses:
