Improved Lathe for Turning Shafting
|
Aurin Wood |
Worcester, MA |
Thomas H. Dodge - patent attorney
The operation is as follows: The reservoir or receptacle H is filled with soda-water, into which the end of the pump, or a pipe or hose connected thereto, enters, so that when motion is imparted to the shaft E to be turned, it will give motion to wheel d, and the water is pumped up and forced through pipe or tube e into the cup 0, from which it freely runs through holes in the bottom of the cup upon all that part of the shaft being turned, and thus keeps the points of the turning-tools from heating, and in proper condition for turning the shaft in an accurate manner. The water, after cooling and lubricating the tools and turning-mechanism, falls into the receptacle or reservoir H to be pumped up again. The friction-wheel d may be covered with some elastic substance, sack as rubber, and the wrist-pin, to which the pump-piston it attached, may be fitted in a slot in the wheel d, so that the throw of the piston can be adjusted to pump more or less water, as may be desired, and, instead of operating the pump by the friction-wheel d bearing against the shaft E, it may be driven by separate and independent mechanism, arranged in any convenient manner, and the pump may be attached and supported upon the outside of slide B, if preferred. |
