lvIEANS FOR BESURFCING CYLINDERS.

Application filed July 14,

T0 all who/n t may concern Be it known that we, OLAF A. ANDERSON and donn Mimizan, citizens of the United States et America, residing at Detroit and Dearborn, respectively, in the county of lVayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Means tor Resurfacing Cylinders, 0i `which the following is a specilication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing'.

This invention relates to improvements in means -for resurfacingcylinders, pertaining more particularly tovtractors adapted for resurfacing the cylinders et internal combustion motors.

As is well understood, the cylinders of internal combustion motors become worn and otherwise made ine'tlicient through decrease in compression ability, etc., and it is the general practicewhen this condition becomes excessivewto renew the original conditions 'by producing a new surface in the cylinder bore and substitute a piston oli' an increased diameter, thus producing more or less the original conditions excepting possibly in the slightly increased capacity ot the cylinder space 'through the slight increase in diameter ot the cylinder bore. This re-sur- Vfacinga may be provided bv simply re-boring the cylinder, or by providing such re-boring action and then subjecting the surface thus produce'l to burnishing action.

The diiiiculties ot resurfacing); cylinders flow mainly from the tact such cylinders are enerally cast as part of a block, thus reokuirinpj special machinery7 or tools for proeither al single re-boring; operation or such operation with a hurrishing opera-tion; i*Y being readily understood that where a nrality of cylinders .are in the torni of a unitary structure, it becomes a ditcult matier lo provide relative movements between the cylinder and the boring or burnishing tool necessarv in providing` the Yresurfacing,r ope ation. Machines capable of producing this result have ol" course. been developed, but such machines are vgenerally ot a special type and are to be Vfound mainly in the manufacturing plants ot the motors. As a result, it is a Lfencral practice to remove the cylinder blocks from motor found to be suthciently `laulty to require such re-surfacingr` and then ship the blocks to a manufacturin plant where it can be properly re-sur- 1919. Serial No. 310,770.

faced, thus not only entailing considerable loss of time but making it a more or less eX- pensive operation. jWhere machines tor the purpose are installed at non-manuliacturing` plants, the cost to the owner of the cylinder is generally excessive, since the operations of such machines at isolated plants is intrequent, and hence the charge for service must be'sutliciently high to cover the cost and overhead charges for operating' machines o1n this special type at infrequent intervals.'

The present invention is designed to meet these conditions by the production of a mechanism of relative low cost of manufacture, which will provide for eliicient operation, and which is portable. Such apparatus can be carried among the tools of a garage without materially increasing overhead charges, so that such ire-surfacingr operation can be provided without shipping the cylinder blocks to the manufacturer, since the resurfacingl can be provided at the point where the motor is taken down to remove such block, thus not only decreasing the cost of installation of the tool, butA providing for a saving in time required to place the cylinder into service and decreasing the cost of the resurfacing operation.

To these and other ends, the nature ot which will be readily understood asthc invention is hereinafter disclosed, said invention consists in the improved construction and combination of parts, hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

V rPheapparatus of a type adapted'to operate upon one cylinder ata time and is of such construction as'to permit of its bel Ving temporarily secured inposition relatiye to the cylinder to be surfaced, the arrange nient being. such that the.-work-performing element-the cutting tool or the'burnishing V tool-is rotated within the cylinder, the

rotation` operatingto provide the desired speed of thev tool in the direction of length of the cylinderduring suchl rotation. Since itis an absolutel requirement that an appa.- ratus of thisl kind provides for' accuracy, the apparatus is of such type as t'o'perinit it to .be accurately positioned relative to the cylinder soV as tocause the tool to produce the proper surface. f

The apparatus is composed: generally ot two elements, or, parts A; and B, these' elements being structurally independent but cooperating.A in locating the. apparatus iin properv position relative to the cylinder', element A being adaptedto be securedin position relative` tol one end of.vr the cylinder Y or cylinder block, element B being secured at the opposite end of the cylinder or; block, the two elements cooperating. within the cylinder or blockl in producing the generalassembly. f

For purposesI of illustration, wey have shown` the., apparatus, ask positioned within a cylinder cot a cylinderlblock- C, the latter being a unit-otv agvell knowntype of motor in which aportion ofthe crank. case is formed integral with:the. block, this por-v tion being indicatedat .0.- In the particular embodiment shown in thefdrawings,

element Bhas a contigurationsuch as will I permit it to be rsecured to the Vflanged portions otthe crankcase section ofthe block, as for instance, by being` bolted thereto with the bolts occupying the usual bolt openings l ofthe flange normally usedfor securing the blockl in its proper.y position inthe motor structure. The. general arrangement. of vele-V4 ment B is such :that when secured in position,a pin orstud'--b-, proyecting inwardly into the crank case section, `Willfbe axially alined with the axis of the cylinder bore,V

said pin or stud forming a steadying memberfor element A whenthe latter isV in position.

Element A comprises an assembly of parts supported at the opposite endof the cylinder bore, and is adaptedto be boltedtothev cyl-l inder casing after, the assembly has been` properly positioned as presently. pointed out, the element 'carrying suitable@ opelaningsy or recesses vthrou h. which the bolts extend..

Y Y Y 1 As shown-'in Figs. l and 2, vthe tool carrying member vl0 has a length greater than the length of the bore of the cylinder, Vthe projecting lower `end having an opening l0 which'is adapted to receive the pin or stud '-5'- lot elementl B, lmember 10 extending into the crank case se'ctiona distance suiiicient to provide this result. The opposite end( of ymember l0 is shown-as being` enlarged diametrically, thus! providing an external surfaceextending in two different planes, a

these being joinedrby an annularly extending flange portionwhich is adapted toproduce a shoulder face l0?, seatedon a seating yface 12a of asupporting frame member l2',

the latter Yin'tiirn having a face which seats on the end of thek cylinder block-the open Y Y end ofy the cylinder being operated upon.

As shownrmore particularly in Figs. lrY

and ,2,'th'e member 10 is provided with a vlongitudinal slot 10c, this slot vextending throughout the major portion of the length of the'smaller diameter portion of member l0, said .slot communicating with the interior of the member for adistance which extends beyond the' opposite yend vof the cylinder bore, the inner end ofl the slot being adjacent the plane of shoulder 10b- Figs l and 24-the outer 'end of theslot being closed to the interior of the member, but continued to the latter in the `forin of a keyway i0 'for a purpose presently described.V

As shownV in Figs, ll andQ, seating face l2 is spacedv a considerable distance from the plane of the end of the cylinder block, the intermediate portion of the 'support l2 having a cylindrical' bore of greater diameter than the smaller-diameter portion otx member 10, andhaving at least a major portionV of this bore of greater diameter than the bore of the cylinder, for reasons presently pointed out, this portion of the support bemade possible by the :tact that the travel ot' the piston Within the cylinder bore ot a cylinder does not carry the piston to the outer end ot the bore, the result being that there is a portion of the cylinder bore at the outer end ot Jdie bore `ntained unailected by Wear the piston, so that at this end ot the b re the cylinder retains the characteristics ot the orininal bore. `Since it is the practice oit' manufacturers to provide bores of similar diameter, it will be readily understood that this particular portion ot the cylinder bore remains on the general standard ot diameter regardless of Wear of other parts oit the bore, so that it is possible to provide a corresponding' standard diameter to that portion of the bore of support 12 which is located between the seating,- face of the support and openings 12b, thus producing an internal bore oi" support 12 which canv be accurately alined with the adiacent portion ot the cylinder bore, l1", then, a part 13a be introduced through one ot the openings 12 and dropped. between the alined here surtace and the outer surface ot member '10, with the member extending beyond plane ot the seating` tace ot support iik-see Fig: i-support 12 will be held in its alined position with member extending` in axial alineuient with the aris ot the bore and be maintained in such position during the time reuired 'for securingelement A, to the block by the bolts after which the locating members are removed; pin or stud -Z- serves to prevent springingl or otherwise shittingf the opposite outer end oit member 10 during the cutting operation.

The upper enlarged portion of member 10 is provided With an internal gear 111, the particular embodiment disclosed in the drawings showing this `ear located subw stantially at the inner end of the enlarged bore ot the member, the gear beingr termed integral with or as a separate structure secured to the member in suitable n'ianner.

lli/llember .10 is held against endwise movement by means ot cap 15 removably seated on the upper tace ot support 1.2, beinfr secured in position by any suitable moans such as bolts. ISaid cap member serves as supporting structure ter a number of operating parts which will now be described.

16 indicates a pinion niounted a stub shaft "7 carried by the cap member. pinion in mesh with `gear 14;. Pinion 1G is also uf molly in mesh with the teeth ot a sleeve 1S mounted in the cap member and tluourfh which the feed member 11 extends, sleeve 1S serving' asa support tor the vinner end ot the 'feed member 11. the outer or opposite end ot' said member 11 being supported in a block 11a located at the outer end of the bore ot member 10, block 11a having a portion extending into opening` 10a of member 10, the walls ot said opening 'thus actingto delinitely locate this end of the 'feed member axially alined with the axis ot member 10. The opposite end ot the feed member is held on such axis through its location in sleeve 18, said sleeve being also arranged to be axially alined with tie axis oit member 10.

19 designates a member secured to and rotatable with the feed member 11, member 19 having portion fitting Within the bore of member 10, and also having a flange enH tending laterally (in the direction ot the axis oi" the member), said flange, indicated at 19, be' ig located between the piane oi' pinion 16 and the inner face or" member 19 as shown in FigsA and 2., Flange 19:L also carries a gear tace as indicated at 19, said gear face being in mesh With a pinion 2O carried by a stub shaft 21 supported in the cap memoer 15. Pinion 2O is also adapted to mesh With the teeth ot sleeve 18, the general arrangement being` such that pinions 16 and '2O are located on different planes extending transversely ot feed member 11, and theretore have their meshing; planes with the teeth oie sleeve 18 on different portions of the teeth, the sleeve teeth length being sut* ticient to operate in connection with both pinions.

As Will be understood, stub siafts are located at any desired points vithm each 21 i the cap member out ot alincment witl oth r, the drawings shes/inothe locations to be substantially on one or the diameters of member 10, the shafts being located on opposite sides ot the feed-member 11.

22 indicates the boring tool assen'ibly, thi, being of any suitable type, the drawing showing a member threaded on Jfeed membe..` 11 and having` its outer tace substantialli-,fv fitting' the bore oit member 10, the particular structure indicating` the use of a Babbitt metal iace contacting with the thread ot the feed member. This portion ot the assembly indicated 22a is adapted to detachably receivea cutting tool 22b ot proper configurar tion and which extends through the slot oit member 10, the Walls ot said slot serving to guide the cutting' member 22 and prevent relative rotational movement between meinA ber 22"L and member 10.

By reason of this latter will be readily7 understood 10 be rotatedy the cutting uulv i be carried around with the uiemben and it the assembly 22 be shifted longitudinally ot member 10 through the action of the toed member 11, the rotation ot member 10 will cause the cutting tool 221V to provide a cutting action on the bore `tace oit thecylinderq the cut-ting tool having a circular path of movement which varies from a single transverse plane oit the feed member 11 equal to the amount ot advance which said feed member is designed to provide. Obviouslyv` any attemptV to produce the small advance ratio to assembly 22 required in attempting to produce a boring cut* to the cylinder by simply carrying the assembly about' the thread of a stationary, member, would be commercially useless, lacking .thepower to force the cutting tool Vto ladvance if the thread pitch be of a type to provide for this small advance.l Y

To provide for proper Vfeed action, andY at the same time produce the desired resistvance of the tool during the strain of cutare such that during one revolution ofv Vmember 10, member 11 gains one-twelft of a revolution, so that as member 10 makes twelve revolutions, assembly 22 will be advanced a distance corresponding to the pitch of one thread of the feed member 11 in the direction of the axis of member 10. Obviously, the differential of gears may be varied to meet the general requirement-s, that pointed out being` one which permits the cutting operations to be performed within wir the limits of safety and etticiency.

The drive is provided by a suitable mechanism operatively connected with sleeve 18.

The structure shown in the drawings is adapted for use in connection with hand labor, and for this reason the operating device is shown as in the form of a handle 28, removably secured to the upper end of sleeve 18. Rotation of the handle causes the sleeve to drive the pinions and the gear faces of members 10 and 11, thus causing these members to rotate in the same direction but at different speeds. Obviously, the power may be applied otherwise by suitable gearing on the -sleeve or the drive may be from a power device, the particular form of drive for sleeve 19 being such as may be found desirable or preferable.

As will be understood, if the cutting assembly be located to bring the cutting point of its tool at the proper point at the upper end of the cylinder, Fig. 1, and the handle be rotatedythe gradual advance will carry the assembly to the bottom or outer end of the member 10 and through the inner end of the cylinder bore, thus providing an enlarge-l ment on the bore to the dimensions provided b v the cutting tool itself. Obviously, this places thecutting tool at the opposite end of the cylinder bore from that at which support 12 is located, and it is therefore essential, in order that element A may be read lef/,2,036

ily removed, that the cutting assembly returned to the opposite end of the element. lnorder to permit this to be done in a .rapid manner and without materially affecting-,the y face which was produced during .the boring operation, provision is made for returning the cutting assemblyV rapidly and in a straight line through the bore, this result Vbeing obtained by retaining member 10 Amember 11 to rotate at equal speed therewith without activity of either pinion 1G or 20, member 10 thus remaining stationary', member llbeing connected direct to'sleeve 18 instead of indirect through member 1 9 and pinion 20. i f

As will be understood, this change in operation thus described,practically requires `the shifting of sleeve 18 between two positions. s it is desirable thatV assurance will be had that the sleeve will be properly operative in either of said positions, we prefer to provide the boreof the sleeve with an# nular grooves 18b and 18", and providey a yieldable element, shown as in the ferm of a ball 241., within the feed member1 11'. The positions of grooves18b and 18C are such that when the ball engages groove 18h, sleeve 1S will be in position to provide a differential feed movement to the tool to advance the latter in the cutting path; when the sleeve is shifted to provide engagement of the ball with groove 18C, disengagement ofl the sleeve teeth vand the teeth'ofpinions 16 and 2O will take place and the direct'drive Y ofthe feed member will be provided'. As will be `understood the particular retaining structure b v which the sleeve may loe positioned in eitlicrtoi" a plurality of positions, is more or less illustrative; the particular arrangement shown permits the shifting of the sleeve to be had without affecting the handle, the shift beingr obtained by simply moving the handle outwardly, thus carrying the sleeve with it.

The normal inoperative position of the assembly 22 is with the cutting tool located within that portion of the bore of support 12' which is of larger diameter, thus locating the tool above the plane of the cylinder block and therefore Vout of position within the bore, the position shown in Fig. 2.

Shuld it be desired that the operation include only this boring ofthe cylinder, the

apparatus can be readily removed by simply removing element B fromthe cra-nk case portion of the cylinder block and element A from the opposite end of the cylinder bore. llowever, it is preferable in producing a proper resurfacing action that the bored surface be subjected to a burnishing action, and this is provided by the use of an attachment shown more particularly in Figs. 6 and T and shown in position in Figs. 2 and 3.

This attachment is shown as in the form of an annular member 25 having an internal diameter adapted to fit over the outer face of member' 10, said member 25 having an inwardly extending key 25a which is adapted to travel in slot 10c of member 10, the key being of a size to prevent relative rotation of member 25 and member lOyet be capable passing through the keyway 10b of mem ber 10.

The cuter periphery. of member 25 is provided with a plurality of rolls 2b', mounted in suitable bearings formed in member 25, said rolls having their axes extending in a direction inclined to the axis of the member. as shown more particularly in Fig. 7, each roll having its axis inclined at the same angle as the other rolls.

VJhen it is desired to use the burnishing attachment, element B is removed from its position, and the attachment 25 located over the cuter or lower end of member 10, key passing through keyway 1()b into slot 10C, the movement of the attachment being continued until it is entered into the bore of the cylinder, whereupon element B is returned to its position.

Burnishing action is had by rotating member 1G, rotation of this member notV only causing the rolls 26 to act to burnish the interior of the bore, but the inclination of the roll axis acts to provide a feed movement of the attachment in a direction upward in Fig. 2, carrying the attachment toward the opposite end of the bore, the several movements combining to burnish the interior of the cylinder and practically eliminate any markings that might have been provided by the cutting action or during the return of the tool.

liiring this 'burnishing action it is preferable that the cutting tool remain in its noi mal inactive position, and to provide this result, the feed member 11 is temporarily disconnected from sleeve 18 by positioning the latter at such point as will permit engagement of the teeth of the sleeve with the teeth of pinion 1b' but will prevent engagement of sleeve 18 with pinion 20, this result being brought about through the location of pinions 1G and 20 on different planes heretofore described. The sleeve is maintained in this position during rotation by the engage nient of ball 241 with an additional groove 18" of the sleeve, this groove being located sleeve in this position member 11 is free from direct connection with the sleeve, and mem-V ber 19 is free from drive engagement with the teeth 4of sleeve 18, so that member 11 and member 19 are free to rotate with member l() as the latter carries the cutting assembly around it, the latter simply carrying the tool around within the space surrounding the member 10 within the support 12, members l and 11 thus traveling in unison and not at differential speeds during this period.

Ubviously the apparatus may be removed after completion of the travel of attachment Q inV this manner, or if desired, the direction of rotation of member may be reversed and the attachment caused to retrace its movement through the bore and thus subject the surface of the bore to a second burnishing action.

From the above it will be seen that We have provided an apparatus of simple form and comparatively light weight capable of successfully and eiiiciently re-surfaoing the bores of cylinders with accuracy and in such manner as not to require the use of special and expensive machinery; the various parts are not only rugged and substantial, but the general arrangement is such as to resist pressures which might tend to affect the accuracy of cutting and damage the interior of the cylinder. portable character and is such as can be carried as a part of the apparatus of the usual general garage so that there is no necessity for transporting cylinder blocks with a view to re-boring operations, thus providing a material saving in time to the user through the ability to produce the resurfacing action at the point where the block is removed from the motor assembly.

lWhile we have herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be understood that changes or m0di fications therein may be required or found desirable in meeting the various exigiencies of use and of the diderent characteristics of individual types of cylinder blocks; we therefore desire to be understood as reserving the right to make anyV and all such changes or modifications therein as may be found necessary or essential, in so. far as the same may fall within the scope of the invention as expressed in the accompanying claims when broadly construed.
