1,156,102. Screw-cutting lathes. H. ERNAULT-SOMUA. 22 Dec., 1966 [27 Dec., 1965], No. 57602/66. Heading B3T. A screw-cutting lathe comprises a saddle 1 guided on a bed 2, a longitudinal carriage 3 slidable on the saddle, a transverse carriage 6 movable on carriage 3, first cam and follower means 36, 35, for moving the cutting tool 7 towards and away from the workpiece 64 at the end of each pass, and a second cam and follower means 54, 53, for providing depth of feed to the tool. The movement of carriage 3 parallel to the work axis is produced by a cam 10 keyed to a shaft 11, and a follower 17 on the carriage; shaft 11 being driven from the lathe spindle 16 via a spindle 15, and gears 13, 14. Carriage 6 is urged to the right by a spring 20, Fig. 2, and an adjustable straight edge 22 co-operates with a roller 23, adjustable by a handle 31, so that depending on whether the straight edge is set so as to be parallel with the work axis or not, a cylindrical, or taper thread is produced. A spring-urged lever 33 is mounted on an eccentric 37, carried by a shaft 38, and engages at one end in a notch 34 formed in a slide 25, and at the other end carries the follower 35. Splined to shaft 38 is a graduated disc 43, and a sector 44 provided with ratchet teeth, which co-operate with a retaining pawl 46, and a drive pawl 48, the latter being pivoted on a spring-urged oscillating arm 50 which carries follower 53. A lever 55 is held in the Fig. 5 position by a locking lever 58, which when released, allows lever 55 to engage the pawls, and disconnect them from the ratchet teeth. A lug 61 is adjustably fixed on the sector 44, and is adapted to engage lever 58, so as to disengage lever 55. In operation, starting with carriage 6 in the withdrawn position, shaft 11 rotates so that cam 36 pivots lever 33, and the tool moves up to the work. Cam 10 rotates, and moves carriage 3 along the work for the first screwing pass. Lever 55 is manually operated so that it is looked by lever 58, and pawls 46, 48 co-operate with the teeth of sector 44. For each rotation of shaft 11, cam 54 causes an angular movement of shaft 38 corresponding to one tooth of sector 44, which occurs during the withdrawal movement of carriage 6. The eccentric 37 of shaft 38 occupies a new position at each rotation of shaft 11, and consequently the tool is fed further towards the workpiece after each pass, until lug 61 acts on the end of lever 58, whereupon the pawls are released, and the levers move back to their original positions. |
