Abstract: A machine for working the edge of a tooth on a spur, bevel or similar type workpiece. The workpiece is mounted on a workpiece spindle and is supported for rotation as well as reciprocal axial movement. The workpiece spindle on which the workpiece is mounted is supported in a workpiece headstock. The workpiece headstock includes a system of gearing for effecting a continuous rotary drive of the workpiece spindle or, and in the alternative through the addition of an auxiliary housing having auxiliary gearing therein operatively connected with the main gearing in the machine for effecting an intermittent rotation of the workpiece spindle. As a result, two types of machining operations that were heretofore possible utilizing two separate machines are now possible utilizing one and the same machine.

Abstract: Adjusting device for an oscillating workpiece. In one type of gear grinding machine, there is provided means for effecting oscillation of the workpiece simultaneously and in synchronism with reciprocation thereof in order to enable a substantially involute curve to be ground onto the workpiece by a grinding wheel which is fixed excepting for its rotation. In such machine, this oscillation is created by at least one cam fixed to the workpiece spindle together with at least two bands fixed at one of their respective ends to such cam and at the other of their respective ends to a fixed portion of the machine with the bands being wrapped in opposite directions at least partially around such cam. Thus, sidewise reciprocating movement of the workpiece spindle effects oscillation of same in a known manner according to the curve provided on said cams.
