page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I ALBERT FERDINAND LINK of 8 Union Court Old Broad Street in the City of
London Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR GROOVING ROLLERS OR CYLINDERS
a communication from abroad by Charles Jaquet of Strasburg in the Empire
of Germany Engineer and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The object of my invention is to manufacture an improved form of apparatus for
cutting grooves in or on the surface of cylinders, either longitudinally, diagonally,
at right angles, or otherwise as required.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and
ascertained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which
similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig 1 is a sectional elevation on the line 1-2 of Fig 2-Fig 2 is a plan of the
same.
Fig 3 is a sectional elevation on the line 3-4 of Fig 4, and Fig 4 is a plan of
the same, shewing a modification of my invention.
Fig 5 is a sectional elevation on the line 5-6 of Fig 6, and Fig 6 is a plan of
the same, shewing another modification of the invention.
In Fig 1, a is a frame supported on rollers qq resting on the cylinders w w―The
frame a supports the guide block b¹ upon which the carrier 6 is fitted to slide.
dd are two arms attached to b by hinges at 6-The lower ends of the arms d, d,
are fitted with rollers rr, which rest on the cylinders w w.-The lower ends of the
arms d d also act as guides and tool holders to the tools xx.-g is a flat spring
which is bolted to the block b, as shewn. The two ends of g are fitted with nuts
and hand wheels ff which regulate the screws e e to which the tools x are fitted.
The tools are formed of steel properly hardened and tempered; or the
cutting ends may be fitted with rotating diamonds, emery, or other hard material
suitable for the purpose.

page_text: The apparatus may be worked by hand or by any other convenient motive
power.

driving pulley for actuating the axle o, in case of driving by mechanical power.―
n is a lever for operating the vertical axle l, a worm on which actuates the worm
wheel k. P is a pin, the lower end of which travels in the grooves cutting the
axle o and thereby control the motion of the tools.
Figs 3 and 4 shew a more simple method of mounting the cutting tools, and
Figs 5 and 6 shew another modification of the invention; which arrangements will
be clearly understood from the drawings.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The method and means of cutting channelling of grooving case hardened or
steel rollers, substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn on the drawings.
2. The manufacture and use of apparatus for cutting channelling or grooving
case hardened or steel rollers constructed and operating substantially as hereinbefore
described and shewn on the drawings.
