Title: Improvements relating to copying machine tools
IPC: B44B1/04
Filed: 1951-10-18
Abstract: 690,414. Copy-milling. DECKEL, H., and DECKEL, F. W. Oct. 18, 1951 [Dec. 14, 1950]. No. 24339/51. Class 83 (iii). A copy-milling machine with a pattern table 32, work table 42 and three-dimensionallymovable pantograph 16, 18, 20, 22 rotatable about a point 14 has the tracer 48 coupled to a point 46 of the pantograph and rigidly connected to the tool-holder 52 and the pantograph is coupled to the pattern table by a vertical spindle 26 slidable in a bush 36 on a transverse slide 34 carried by the pattern table so that movement of the pantograph horizontally in its own vertical plane (arrow A) causes movement of the pattern table in the same direction so that the work 44 is formed as a mirror image of the pattern 40. The point 46 gives a 1 : 2 ratio between the movements of the tracer pin 48 and spindle 26 so that the work is reproduced to the same scale as the pattern but, if another point such as 46a is chosen, the pattern will be distorted in the sense of the arrow A. For vertical movement of the pantograph, the spindle 26 merely slides in the bush 36 and, for horizontal transverse movement, the slide 34 merely moves across the pattern table so that the copying scale in the other two dimensions is uneffected. A guide bush 60 on a compound slide rest 56, 58 carried by the column 12 slidably supports a spindle 62 connected to the tool-holder. In an alternative construction, the tool-holder is coupled to the points 46 or 46a and rigidly connected with the tracer, and the work and pattern are interchanged. Balancing means of known type may be provided for the pantograph.
