  • Patent number: 4476847
    Abstract: An adjustable double disc grinder dresser comprising a dresser arm mounted on a shaft, a bracket including spaced opposing walls, one of the walls supporting one end of the shaft for pivotal displacement about its axis and for limited pivotal displacement about mutually perpendicular vertical and horizontal axes, the support including a face to face mounted pair of ball bearings, and a spacer having a width selected to locate the bearing load centers of the ball bearings coincident on the axis of rotation of the shaft, the mutually vertical and horizontal axes intersecting at the point of coincidence, and adjustment screws for infinitely varying the horizontal location of the axis of the shaft through a limited range, and a support for the other end of the shaft permitting pivotal displacement about its axis and for limited pivotal displacement about mutually perpendicular vertical and horizontal axes, the other support including a face to face mounted pair of ball bearings, and a spacer having a width select

  • Patent number: 4462187
    Abstract: A double disc grinding machine comprising a wheelhead assembly, a base for supporting the wheelhead assembly for axial displacement relative thereto, the base including a front wall having a front trunnion secured thereto and extending horizontally therefrom, and a rear wall having a rear trunnion secured thereto and extending horizontally therefrom in coaxial relation with the front trunnion, and a principal machine frame including front and rear walls, the machine frame rear wall supporting the rear trunnion for pivotal displacement about its axis and for limited pivotal displacement about a mutually perpendicular vertical axis and structure for horizontally displacing the rear supporting structure along the rear wall of the frame thereby angularly displacing the front trunnion, and the machine frame front wall supporting the front trunnion for pivotal displacement about its axis and for limited pivotal displacement about a mutually perpendicular vertical axis.
