  • Patent number: 4303359
    Abstract: A deburring apparatus is provided for automatically deburring gears having a plurality of external or internal extending teeth formed therealong at predetermined intervals from each other. The apparatus comprises a frame having a spindle on which the gear to be deburred is mounted. A main shaft is rotatably supported within the frame which, upon rotation, incrementally indexes the gear mounted on the spindle for a distance corresponding to the distance between adjacent gear teeth and, after doing so, interrupts the rotation of the spindle for a predetermined period of time. Both an eccentric member and a cam are secured to the shaft. In addition a cutting tool arm is rotatably secured at one end to the eccentric member and, at its other end, a cutting tool is mounted. A bell crank is also pivotally secured to the frame and has a cam follower mounted to one end which engages the cam.
