Title: Improvements relating to gauge units for machine tools
Inventor: BISHOP GEORGE
IPC: B23Q17/22
Filed: 1960-12-28
Abstract: 922,066. Grinding. CHURCHILL MA. CHINE TOOL CO. Ltd. Dec. 6, 1961 [Dec. 28, 1960]. No. 44427160. Class 60. A gauge 15 in a grinding machine is arranged to be given a straight line movement to bring it near to a plane through the axis of a workpiece 18, and a swivel movement to bring the caliper jaws of the gauge on to the workpiece and into the operative position. The gauge 15 is connected by a link 16 to a plate 14 vertically adjustable on a plate 10. The plate 10 is connected to a slide 6 by a pivot pin 11 at its upper end and two links 12 at its lower end, the links being connected to a roller 13 and being urged by a spring into a bent position. The slide 6 is vertically movable by an hydraulic or pneumatically-operated piston-and-cylinder device 5, 7 carried by yokes 2 which are slidable in guideways to laterally adjust the gauge. When fluid pressure is supplied to the cylinder 5, the piston moves the slide downwardly in a straight line movement until the roller 13 engages a stationary abutment 9 to straighten the links 12 and swivel the plate 10 about the pin 11 so that the jaws of the gauge engage the workpiece.
