Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

3,551,125	Dec. 29, 1970	Method of forming a grinding wheel	Raymond T. Hallewell	, England	No patent drawing. This patent describes a method of using a kneadable epoxy binder plus abrasives and metallic filler to construct a grinding wheel. Moore Special Tool Co. licensed this patent from Toolmasters Ltd., so that their customers could make form grinding wheels by making and shaping an aluminum disk and then covering the disk surface using the Toolmasters epoxy and process. Moore Special Tool Co. sold General Electric's Borazon (cubic boron nitride) and diamond as the abrasives in this system. For more information, see the 1973 Moore catalog, "Accessories for precision jig boring and jig grinding", page E24 (see link).
4,504,064	Mar. 12, 1985	Laser Path Seal	Salvatore Romano	Trumbull, Fairfield County, CT	Abstract: A rolling diaphragm seal is inserted between a pair of telescopic tubes containing a laser beam and a reflective mirror to preclude ambient air or lubricant from impinging on the mirror or for changing the density of the air within the tube to cause a change in intensity of the laser beam. The telescoping tube pairs can be used as part of a control system for the positioning of the beds of an ultra-precise machining apparatus such as found in turning and grinding machines for generating flat, spheric, and aspheric shapes, commonly known as aspheric generators. The rolling diaphragm seal consists of a rubber tube having its ends folded back upon itself and positioned between the inner and outer telescoping tubes of each pair. The ends of the seal tube are held apart in a retaining collar through which air can be inserted to pneumatically pressure the space between the folded back portions of the seal.
4,547,996	Oct. 22, 1985	Jig Grinder With Automatic C-Axis Feedrate Control	Dennis A. Winski	Fairfield, Fairfield County, CT	Abstract: A jig grinder is provided with a controller for computing, as a function of an established radius and a preset feed-rate, a rotational speed for rotating the machine spindle to provide a uniform surface speed at the cutting edge of the grinding tool as the tool alternates between linear grinding with an X and/or Y axis and arc grinding along the C-axis of the spindle. A method is provided for grinding straight surfaces and adjoining arcs at a constant feed-rate without interruption.
4,630,214	Dec. 16, 1986	Jig Grinder With Automatic Reciprocation and Outfeed Control	Kevin S. Barney	Monroe, Fairfield County, CT	Abstract: A control system for an automated jig grinder enables an operator to designate an incremental outfeed distance to be traversed for each outfeed operation and a reciprocation stroke count to be completed between successive outfeeds. The control system counts grinding tool reciprocation strokes and actuates an outfeed mechanism to outfeed the grinding tool the designated outfeed distance when the designated reciprocation stroke count has been reached. The incremental outfeed distance and reciprocation stroke count settings can be modified by the machine operator on a real time basis as the machine is running. The control system also enables the grinding tool to automatically travel from its upper position toward a workpiece at a first relatively high rate of speed, and then change to a slower rate of speed as the tool approaches the workpiece. This aspect of the invention is useful in wipe grinding. Alternatively, the control system allows the grinding tool to automatically travel from its upper position toward a workpiece at an initial slow rate of speed, and then change to a higher rate of speed for reciprocation. In this manner, excessive overshoot past the reciprocation limits established by an operator can be prevented.

4,643,622	Feb. 17, 1987	Automatic C-Axis Feedrate Control for Machine Tools	Dennis A. Winski	Fairfield, Fairfield County, CT	Abstract: A machine tool is provided with a controller for computing, as a function of an established radius and a preset feed-rate, a rotational speed for rotating the machine spindle to provide a uniform surface speed at the working edge of a tool as the tool alternates between linear movement along an X and/or Y axis and arcuate movement along the C-axis of the spindle. A method is provided for gauging straight surfaces and adjoining arcs at a constant feed-rate without interruption.
4,704,825	Nov. 10, 1987	Method for Automatically Sizing a Ground Surface on a Workpiece	Wayne R. Moore	Trumbull, Fairfield County, CT	Abstract: A method for automatically sizing a ground surface utilizes a detector having a reference edge position provided adjacent the rotatable spindle of a jig grinder. The jig grinder spindle center is moved a distance from the detector's reference edge equal to the finished radius value of the surface to be ground, or any known distance to be used as a datum. A tool or grinding wheel mounted for relative movement to the jig grinder centerline along the U-axis is moved relative to the jig grinder centerline to clear the detector's pick-up edge. Then, with the grind side of the grinding wheel facing the detector pick-up edge, the wheel is lowered and outfed back along the U-axis while in a conventional dynamic grinding mode until the wheel's outermost cutting position is equal to or in proximity to the detector's reference edge position, which can be confirmed by laser, force or sound apparatus. When contact is made, the outfeed is instantly stopped with no over-travel. This U-axis radial position relative to the position of the machine spindle centerline is the automatically sized radius value to be ground in the workpiece and is a datum or preset radial position to which the tool is moved relative to the jig grinder spindle centerline during the grinding mode.
4,724,525	Feb. 09, 1988	Real-Time Data Collection Apparatus for Use in Multi-Axis Measuring Machine	Brian G. Purcell	Ansonia, New Haven County, CT	Abstract: A real-time data collection apparatus for use in collecting data from a multi-axis measuring machine comprises laser interferometers for outputting position measurement data from the measuring machine axis. A measuring probe produces an output signal as a function of probe deflection. The measurement data from the laser interferometers and the probe data are simultaneously captured in response to a data capture signal. The simultaneously captured data is input to a data analysis computer for subsequent processing.

4,890,421	Jan. 02, 1990	Automatic Measurement System	Wayne R. Moore Jr.	Trumbull, Fairfield County, CT	Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic measurement system and the method of employing the system with a cutting tool device. The measurement system includes a tool holder for mounting a cutting tool. A measurement probe is automatically mounted and dismounted from the tool holder without removing the cutting tool. The tool holder is preferably affixed to a work support table which is adapted to support a workpiece to be machined and measured thereon.
