Improvements in Apparatus for Grinding Parallel Spindles, Rods,
or Shafts.
I FRANK ASHTON, Manager of Spindle Works, of Hargreaves Spindle Works,
Oldham, in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to machinery for grinding parallel spindles as used in
cotton spinning and preparing machinery and more especially in slubbing inter-
mediate and roving frames; it is however also applicable to machines for grinding
any cylindrical metal rods or shafts.
My improved apparatus is constructed as follows:-:
Upon a suitable bed I mount a table capable of sliding thereon; this table
carries a headstock and foot stock in which are mounted the centres between which
the spindle to be operated upon is to be inserted.
At or near the centre of the length of the bed a pair of stands acting also as
dust boxes are mounted, one on each side of the bed, and connected to a fan by
suitable pipes leading from the dust outlets in the said dust boxes.
'
On the top of these stands are formed slides to carry sliding carriages on which
are mounted the shafts of the grinding wheels, which may be made of stone;
emery or other suitable grinding or glazing material or composition.
These grinding wheels are or may be driven by pulleys and straps or belts from
a shaft overhead, and each wheel is fed up to its work, by means of a worm and
wheel, the former operated by a suitable hand wheel and the latter actuating an
adjusting screw which turns in a threaded bush fixed to or formed with the sliding
carriage supporting the grinding wheel.
The ends of this screw are not threaded but they are free to slide in and are
supported by brackets cast or fixed to the stand. The inner end of the screw how-
ever passes through its bracket for a suitable distance and is provided with a head
which rests against a bush capable of turning loosely thereon and having an
incline or helix at its inner edge or face, which is held against a corresponding
incline or helical face on a bush attached to or formed with the supporting
bracket last above named, by means of a weighted chain or its equivalent
attached to the outer end of the sliding carriage upon which the grinding wheel is
mounted..
I prefer to weight the chains attached to the two sliding grinding wheel
carriages by a single bar passing beneath the stands and the bed of the table which
carries the spindle and to connect the bar to the chains by suitable screwed
shackles (or otherwise) so that its position can be adjusted as the grinding wheels
become worn down.
1.
The bush on the above named. adjusting screw is provided with a finger or arm
and thus by turning this bush slightly in one direction the screw will be moved by
the inclined loose bush very slightly end wise carrying the sliding carriage and
grinding wheel with it, and by returning the said. bush to its former position the
weighted chain will bring back the screw and the carriage and grinding wheel.
The object of this very slight end wise motion of the grinding wheels is to apply
a supplementary feed to the said wheels when the whole length of the spindle has

page_text: passed between them and to cause the said spindle to be further ground by the
wheels as it is carried back again to its first position.
Stops upon the sliding table above named act against the arms or fingers upon
the loose helical faced bush, so as to alter the position of the grinding wheel at the
end of the traverse of the said table either forwards or backwards.
The headstock is made with two brackets or bearings carrying a long fixed boss
or sleeve through which is passed a short shaft or spindle which carries the centre
for the spindle to be ground at one end, and at the other end is formed a
multiple threaded screw on which is fitted a nut provided or made with a weighted
arm or lever.
The nut is kept from moving end wise-by a suitable bracket and the short shaft
or spindle is formed with a long groove or slot in which is engaged the end of a set
screw fixed in the bush or sleeve, and thus if the weighted arm or lever is raised
the short shaft on spindle is drawn back and withdraws the centre so that the end
of the spindle to be ground can be inserted between it and the centre carried by
the foot stock.
.
As soon as the arm or lever is released the weight pulls it down and forces the
headstock centre forwards to grip the end of the spindle to be ground the said
weight thus holding the latter in place between the two centres, and at the same
time, allowing for expansion and contraction of the spindle under operation.
The weighted arm or lever is operated by a lever connected to a lever mounted
upon a squared shaft, the squared part of which slides (as the headstock moves)
through a lever .connected by a link to a treadle lever by which the weighted arm
or lever can be raised to insert or release the spindle for or after grinding the
same.
To the end of the latter is attached an ordinary lathe carrier actuated by studs
on a driving pulley mounted upon the fixed bush or sleeve of the headstock, and
formed with a long bose passing into one end of a fixed bush forced into the inner
bracket or bearing of the headstock, the same fixed bush serving to carry a loose
pulley mounted by the side of the driving pulley, but by the above construction
revolving entirely independently thereof. By this means also I obtain an increased
length of bearing for both pulleys.
The arrangement for traversing the sliding table is as follows:-
The said table is provided beneath with a long rack gearing with a toothed
wheel upon a bush revolving upon a transverse shaft, and actuated through
suitable reducing gearing by a toothed wheel on one end of the said shaft, which
is caused to revolve in one direction or the other alternately by the following
reversing gear.
On the other end of the traverse reversing shaft are two bevel wheels arranged
face to face with a space between, and so mounted as to slide together on the
shaft. in order that, either one or other of the bevil wheels can be put in gear
with a driving pinion on a shaft actuated by a pulley.and strap from an overhead
shaft.
The boss of the inner wheel is grooved and into the grooves takes the forked end
of a lever..
This forked lever, which moves the bevel wheels to reverse the motion of the
eliding table, is mounted on a fixed pivot at its lower end and is provided with.an
inclined groove in which works one end of a reversing bracket which is, raised to
move the outer bevel wheel into gear with the driving pinion, and depressed to
move the inner bevel wheel into gear with the same.
This reversing bracket, rocks on a pin fixed, or. formed on a suitable bracket
attached to the bed of the machine and on the same pin is a vertical reversing
lever provided on either side, with an arm extending over the bracket, and beneath
the latter extends a cross bar each end of which is connected by a link passing
through one side of the bracket and connected to a chain, attached to one of the
arms on the reversing lever; the centre of the cross bar being held or pulled
vertically downwards by a spring.
1

page_text: Upon the aforesaid fixed bracket on either side of the reversing lever and
above the reversing bracket is a small spring catch or detent pivotted at about its
centre.
One of these spring catches or detents takes into a notch in the upper part of
the reversing bracket when the corresponding side of the same is raised, and thus
locks the bracket in this position thereby holding the end which works in the
groove in the forked lever above described in the raised or depressed position
and keeping one or other of the bevel wheels in gear with the pinion above
nained.
The rocking motion of the reversing bracket is limited by two fixed stops
beneath the same.
If the reversing lever is pushed over to the right, then an adjustable screw on its
right hand arm will descend and release the spring catch or detent from the right
hand side of the reversing bracket which is pulled over by the action of the cross
bar, the right hand chain being slackened and the left hand chain tightened, and
the central spring pulling vertically downwards, the left hand end of the reversing
bracket which moves in the slotted forked lever is thus raised until the lower end
of the bracket is stopped by the fixed stop beneath it (above referred to) and the
bracket is locked in this raised position by the spring catch or detent engaging in
the notch at the left hand side of the reversing bracket.
When the reversing lever is reversed, that is, pushed over to the right, then the
position of the reversing bracket is reversed and consequently the traverse of the
sliding table is also reversed.
This reversal of the lever is effected is by two adjustable reversing stops fixed
upon the sliding table.
As however it is necessary that the said table should remain stationary for the
insertion and removal of the work, a sliding bolt is provided for insertion between
the end of the grooved 'boss and the boss on the frame through which the reversing
shaft passes so that both of the bevel wheels above described can be held out of
gear with the pinion.
This sliding bolt is withdrawn by hand to start the forward traverse motion of
the sliding table and returns into position as soon as the traverse is reversed in
order to stop the complete reversal of the traverse by the reversing stop on the
table and the consequent recommencement of the traverse of the table as it reaches
the end of the return traverse until the ground spindle has been removed and
another spindle to be ground mounted in its place between the centres.
In order to reduce the vibration of the spindle or article under operation (which
would take place during the grinding thereof) a bracket is fixed to the stands as
near to the grinding wheels as possible, and at the back side thereof, and at the
top of the bracket is a boss through which the spindle or other article passes.
This boss is bored out, to receive a bush which is formed with a screw thread (or
otherwise) so as to retain a lining of leather or other suitable flexible material
which just allows the spindle or other article to be ground to pass through and thus
prevents vibration thereof during the grinding process especially when the centres
are about equidistant from the grinding wheels.
The method of using the machine is briefly as follows:-
Assuming that the machine has been set and adjusted so as to grind the given
article, the centre of the footstock will be in-such a position that it projects just
through the grinding wheels.
The headstock is then withdrawn by the foot lever above described, one end of
the article (parallel spindle or shaft) is then placed in the foot stock centre, and
the headstock centre is then allowed to move forward again and secure the other
end of the article with its carrier attached; the pulley and studs are then set in
motion and the attendant moves the reversing handle so as to start the forward
traverse of the table, until the first reversing stop moves the said handle and
reverses the traverse, and at the same moment a small amount of supplementary
feed of the grinding wheels is put on by the stops above described coming in

page_text: contact with the arms which move the helically faced bushes to move the heads of
the adjusting screws of the grinding wheels slightly nearer together.
Thus at the return traverse a second quantity is ground off and the diameter of
the article under operation is further reduced.
As the table regains its original position it is brought to a stand still by the
sliding bolt above described and the supplementary feed is taken off by the stops
on the table returning the arms on the helically faced bushes to their former
position.
The article is then released from its centre, by the foot lever (the revolution of
its driver having been stopped) and the said article is removed and another
inserted.
Any decrease due to wear in the diameter of the grinding wheels is compensated
for by the adjusting screws above described and the worms and hand wheels.

Improvements in Apparatus for Grinding Parallel Spindles, Rods,
or Shafts.
I FRANK ASHTON, of Hargreaves Spindle Works, Oldham in the County of
Lancaster, Manager of Spindle Works, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to machinery for grinding parallel spindles as used in
cotton spinning and preparing machinery, and more especially in slubbing, inter-
mediate, and roving frames. It is, however, also applicable to machines for
grinding any cylindrical metal rods or shafts.
The invention will be readily understood from the following description and on
reference to the accompanying drawings, of which-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a machine for grinding parallel
spindles, rods, or shafts constructed according to my invention.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of part of Fig. 1, showing the mechanism for reversing
the sliding table.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation seen from the left hand of Fig. 1.
Fig. 2 shows a detached view of part of the mechanism for increasing the
grinding action.
Figs. 3 and 4 are enlarged detached views of the mechanism for reversing the
sliding table b, hereinafter more particularly referred to.
Figs. 5 and 6 show the stands or dust-boxes detached and drawn to a smaller
scale,
Figs. 7 and 8 show the upper ends of the anti-vibration bracket n, hereinafter
referred to.
Upon a suitable bed a I mount a table b, capable of sliding thereon. This
table carries a head-stock c and foot-stock d, in which are mounted the
centres c+, d+, between which the spindle to be operated upon is to be inserted.
At or near the centre of the length of the bed a a pair of stands a¹ a', acting
also as dust-boxes, are mounted, one on each side of the bed a and counected to a
fan by suitable pipes (not shown on the drawings) leading from the dust-outlets a
(showu dotted on Fig. 2) in the said dust-boxes a¹. On the top of these stands a
are formed slides a³ to carry sliding carriages e, on which are mounted the shafts f

page_text: of the grinding-wheels f, which may be made of stone, emery, or other suitable
grinding or glazing material or composition. These grinding-wheels f¹ are or may
be driven by pulleys f' and straps or belts (not shewa) from a shaft overhead, and
each wheel is fed up to its work by means of a worm and wheel f, the
former f, operated by a suitable hand-wheel and the latter f, actuating an
adjusting-screw f, which turns in a threaded bush f', fixed to or formed with the
sliding carriage e, supporting the grinding wheel . The ends of this screw f
are not threaded, but they are free to slide in and are supported by brackets a, a,
cast or fixed to the stand a. The inner end of the screw ƒ however, passes
through its bracket a for a suitable distance and is provided with a head f8,
against which rests a bush, capable of turning loosely thereon (see also detached
view Fig. 2) and having an incline or helix at its inner edge or face, which is held
against a corresponding incline or helical face on a bush as, attached to or formed
with the supporting bracket as, by means of a weighted chain 10 or its equivalent,
attached to the outer end of the sliding carriage upon which the grinding-wheel is
mounted.
I prefer to weight the chain 10, attached to the two sliding grinding-wheel
carriages e, by a single bar f", passing beneath the stands a' and the bed a of the
table b, which carries the spindle, and to connect the bar fl to the chains 10, by
suitable screwed shackles 12, (or otherwise) so that its position can be adjusted as
the grinding-wheels f' become worn down.
The bush on the above-named adjusting screw fe is provided with a finger or
arm f+, and thus by turning the bush slightly in one direction the screw will
be moved by the inclined loose bush very slightly endwise, carrying the sliding
carriage e and grinding-wheel fl with it, and by returning the said bush to its
former position the weighted chain 10 will bring back the screw and the
carriage e and grinding-wheel. The object of this very slight end wise motion
of the grinding-wheels f¹ is to apply a supplementary feed to the said wheels
when the whole length of the spindle has passed between them and to cause the
said spindle to be further ground by the wheels as it is carried back again to its
first position.
Stops ++upon the sliding table above named act against the arms or
fingers upon the loose helical-faced bush, so as to alter the position of the
grinding-wheels f, at the end of the traverse of the said table b either forward or
backward.
The head-stock c (see Fig. 1) is made with two brackets or bearings c¹, e carrying
a long fixed boss or sleeve c³, through which is passed a short shaft or spindle.c
which carries the centre c+ for the spindle to be ground at one end, and at the
other end is forined a multiple threaded screw c, on which is fitted nut c
provided or made with a weighted arm or lever c².
The nut is kept from moving end wise by a suitable bracket c, and the short
shaft or spindle c is formed with a long groove or slot in which is engaged the end.
of a set-screw c, fixed in the bush or sleeve c³; and thus if the weighted arm or
lever e' is raised the short shaft on the spindle c is drawn back and withdraws
the centre c+, so that the end of the spindle to be ground (shown dotted at x,
Fig. 1) can be inserted between it and the centre d+, carried by the foot-stock d.
As soon as the arm or lever c' is released the weight c++ pulls it down and forces
the head-stock centre + forward to grip the end of the spindle x, the said
weight c++ thus holding the latter in place between the two centres c+d+ and at
the same time allowing for expansion and contraction of the spindle x under
operation.
The weighted arm or lever c' is to be operated by a lever connected by a link 7°
to a lever.c, mounted upon a squared shaft c", the squared part of which slides
(as the head-stock moves) through a lever c, connected by a link to a lever c",
actuated by a treadle +, by which the weighted arm or lever c can be raised to
insert or release the spindle for or after grinding the same.
latter is attached an ordinary lathe-carrier (see Fig. 1). actuated
To the end of the
by studs c¹³, on

page_text: a driving-pulley cle, mounted upon the fixed bush or sleeve 3 of the head-stock c,
and formed with a long boss passing into oue end of a fixed bush e, forced into
the inner bracket or hearing of the head stock c, the same fixed bush c" serving
to carry a loose pulley c18, mounted by the side of the driving-pulley el, but by the
above construction revolving entirely independently thereof. By this means also
I obtain an increased length of bearing for both pulleys cl and c
The arrangement for traversing the sliding. table 6 is as follows: The said
table is provided beneath with a long rack ', gearing with a toothed wheel b
upon a bush revolving upon a transverse reversing-shalt 6, and actuated through
suitable reducing-gearing b by a toothed wheel 65 on one end of the said shaft b³,
which is caused to revolve in one direction or the other alternately by the following
reversing-gear; on the other end of the traverse reversing shaft are two bevil
wheels 6, 7, arranged face to face with a space between and so mounted as to
slide together on the shaft in order that either one or other of the bevil wheels 6*
or can be put in gear with a driving pinion on a shaft b. actuated by a
pulley 60 and strap (not shewn) from an overhead shaft. The boss of the inner
wheel is grooved and into the groove takes the forked end of a lever . This
forked lever ", which moves one or other of the bevil-wheels 6 or 6' to reverse
the, motion of the sliding table b, is mounted on a fixed pivot 60 at its lower end
and is provided with an inclined groove 6, in which, works one end of a reversing
bracket 1, (see also detached views Figs. 3 and 4) which is raised to move the
outer bevel-wheel 6' into gear with the driving-pinion 68 and depressed to move the
inner bevel-wheel 67 into gear with the same. This reversing bracket 3 rocks ou
a pin 4, fixed or formed on a suitable bracket 61, attached to the bed u of the
machine, and on the same pin 614 is a vertical reversing lever g, provided on either
side with an arm g' g+, extending over the bracket 3, and beneath the latter
extends a cross bar g², each end of which is connected by a link ġ, g++, passing
through one side of the bracket and connected to a chain ¹h+, (+ being shown
partly broken away at Fig. 4) attached to one of the arms g' g+ on the reversing
lever 95 the centre of the cross-bar g being held or pulled vertically downward by
a spring 93. Upon the aforesaid fixed bracket 615, on either side of the reversing
lever g and above the reversing bracket 13, is a small catch or detent +, pivoted
at about its centre and acted upon by springs 10, 1. One of these spring catches
or detents i¹ or it takes into a notch 1 or + in the upper part of the reversing
bracket when the corresponding side of the same is raised and thus locks the
bracket 3 in this position, thereby holding the end which works in the groove 6 12
in the forked lever above described in the raised or depressed position and
keeping one or other of the bevil wheels 6 or 6 in gear with the pinion 8 above
named. The rocking motion of the reversing bracket 13 is limited by two fixed
stops beneath the same.
If the reversing lever g is pushed. over to the right, then an adjustable screw + on
its right hand arm g+ will descend and release the spring catch or detent it from the
right hand side of the reversing bracket 61, which is pulled over by the action of
the cross-bar g, the right-hand chain + being slackened and the left-hand chain
tightened, and the central spring g, pulling vertically downward the left-hand end
of the reversing bracket 13, which moves in the slotted forked lever ", is thus
raised until the lower end of the said bracket is stopped by the fixed stop + beneath
it, (above referred to) and the bracket 613 is locked in this raised position by the
spring catch or detent engaging in the notch 1 at the left-hand side of the reversing
.bracket b 13.
When the reversing-lever g is reversed, that is, pushed over to the right, then the
position of the reversing bracket 513 is reversed, and consequently the traverse of
the sliding table b is also reversed. This reversal of the lever g is effected by two
,adjustable reversing-stops 99, fixed upon the sliding table b. As, however it is
necessary that the said table b should remain stationary for the insertion and
removal of the work, a sliding bult m is provided for insertion between the end of
the grooved boss of the wheel and the boss m¹ (see Fig. 14) on the frame a

page_text: through which the reversing shaft passes, so that both of the bevil wheels b
above described can be held out of gear with the pinion 68. This sliding bolt m is
withdrawn by the hand lever m² and pinion m³, gearing with a rack of teeth at m+
on the said bolt m, in order to start the forward traverse motion of the sliding
table b, and the said bolt m is returned into position by a spring m' as soon as the
traverse is reversed in order to stop the complete reversal of the traverse by the
reversing stop g' on the table b, and the consequent recommencement of the traverse
of the table b, until the ground spindle has been removed and another spindle to be
ground mounted in its place between the centres c+ d+.
In order to reduce the vibration of the spindle or article under operation,.
which would take place during the grinding thereof, a bracket n is fixed to the
stands as near to the grinding wheels as possible, and at the back side thereof
(see detached views, Figs. 5 and 6,) and at the top of the bracket is a boss n¹
(shown enlarged at Figs. 7 and 8) through which the spindle or other article passes..
This boss is bored out to receive a bush 2, which is formed with a screw-thread!
or otherwise, so as to retain a lining n of leather or other suitable flexible
material, which just allows the spindle or other article to be ground to pass
through and thus prevent vibration thereof during the grinding process,
especially when the centres et d+ are about equidistant from the grinding
wheels'.
The method of using the machine is, briefly, as follows: Assuming that the
machine has been set and adjusted so as to grind the given article, the centre d+ of
the foot-stock d will be in such a position that it projects just through the grinding
wheels f. The head stock centre c+ is then withdrawn by the foot lever above-
described. One end of the article (parallel spindle or shaft) is then placed in the
foot-stock centre d+ and the head stock centre c+ is then allowed to move forward.
again and secure the other end of the article with its carrier attached to it; the
pulley ele, and studs es, are then set in motion and the attendant moves the reversing
handle m² to complete the action of the reversing lever g, so as to start she forward
traverse of the table b, until the first reversing stop g4 moves the said lever g and
reverses the traverse, and at the same moment a small amount of supplementary feed
of the grinding wheels f is put on by the stops f++ above described coming in contact.
with the arms which move the helically faced bushes to move the heads f8
of the adjusting screws of the grinding wheels f slightly nearer together. Thus
at the return traverse a second quantity is ground off and the diameter of the
article under operation is further reduced. As the table b regains its original
position it is brought to a standstill by the sliding bolt m above described, and the
supplementary feed is taken off by the stops ++ on the table b returning the
arms on the helically faced bushes to their former position. The article is.
then released from its centres c+ d+ by the foot lever (the revolution of its.
driver c, cl, having been stopped) and the said article is removed and another
inserted.
:
Any increase due to wear in the diameter of the grinding wheels f¹ is com-
pensated for by the adjusting screws f above described, by the worms f³ and
hand wheels f³.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
•
1. The combination of a sliding table carrying the centres for supporting the
parallel rod (such as a roving spindle) to be ground and means for rotating the said
rod, and for reversing the motion of the table, with a pair of adjustable grinding-
