Abstract: 1042. Imray, O., [St. Louis Plate Glass Co.]. Jan. 15. Surfacing a n d polishing glass plates. The plate is carried by the table 3, which is slowly rotated by bevel gearing 4, 5. The table may be rocked instead of being rotated. The grinding is effected by sector - shaped metal frames 18 faced with casti r o n plates 20. These sectors fit loosely between ribs 16 of the circular runners 7, 8 keyed to spindles 9, which are rapidly rotated by bevel gearing 14 and may be raised and lowered in the frame 10 by levers 11 adjusted by screws 12 and pivoted to lifting- cylinders 13. The ribs 16 are preferably arranged tangentially to the hub 15 of the runner. A gutter or hopper 26 enables sand &c. to be supplied to the face of the runner. The grinding or polishing blocks 18 may be loosely connected to the runner frame by links 23 pivoted on bolts 21, 24. These links act on the blocks at about the level of their centres of gravity and in radial lines therewith, so as to prevent rocking. The blocks are also connected loosely by vertical bolts 25 to the horizontal ring 17 connecting all the ribs 16 against which the blocks bear laterally. The blocks are thus free to act by their own weight upon the glass plate and by centrifugal action to take up a position with their working-faces horizontal. In modifications of the runner frame, the blocks 18 have recesses or projections for corresponding projections or recesses on the ribs 16, the ring 25 is replaced by a series of cross-bars, and the frame has a circumferential rim for the blocks to bear outwardly against.
