Abstract:
A contouring head includes a sleeve and coaxially mounted spindle connected by means of a yoke to a slide mounted by first and second sets of roller bearings to and between a slide track and a pair of keeper plates which hold the slide to the slide plate and within a slide track formed therein. A yoke interconnects the spindle to the slide to convert axial motion of the spindle into radial motion of the slide. A tool mount in the form of a pot is connected to the slide to control the radial position of a single edged cutting tool. A cover is mounted on the keeper plates and slide plate.

Claim (Index 21):
A contouring apparatus for use in controlling a radial position of a cutting tool that rotates within and about a longitudinal axis of a bore, comprising:\n a spindle having a longitudinal axis of rotation and adapted for controlled bi-directional movement along the longitudinal axis of rotation; a slide plate mounted for rotation with the spindle and having a slide track formed therein and arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of rotation; a slide disposed in the slide track for movement perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of rotation and configured to carry a post on a front face thereof; a pair of keeper plates mounted to the slide plate to maintain the slide between the pair of keeper plates and the slide plate; a first set of roller bearings disposed between the slide and the slide plate and a second set of roller bearings disposed between the keeper plates and the slide, wherein the first and second sets of roller bearings permit low friction movement of the slide relative to the slide plate, and wherein the second set of bearings includes V-shaped grooves in the front faces of the slide and a pair of V-shaped projections on interior faces of the keeper plates and fitting into the V-shaped grooves, the set of bearings being operatively disposed between the pair of V-shaped projections and the V-shaped grooves; a yoke pivotally connected between the spindle and the slide to convert axial movement of the spindle relative to a sleeve into radial movement of the slide along the slide track and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of rotation; and a tool mount, wherein the slide is adapted to receive the tool mount therein such that a tool carried by the tool mount is subject to radial movement with the slide under control of a longitudinal position of the spindle.
