Abstract
Abstract The machining of the surfaces of articles for making grooves intended to retain liquid or gaseous media used for lubrication or as an interlayer to the devices for the realization of these methods, and to the articles machined by these methods. Most successfully the invention can be used in machining the surfaces of cylinder liners, pistons and the walls of the holes in the pistons for the piston pins in internal combustion engines and in machining sliding and rolling contact bearings, spinning machine rings, and gauge blocks. No less successfully this invention can be used for machining the reflectors of heating appliances, fountain pen caps, various vessels and articles of jewelry, because the network of grooves forms an attractive ornamental pattern. The method consists in forcing at least one spring-loaded spherical deforming member into the surface layer of the article. The machined surface of the article and the deforming member move at an angle to each other and the motion of at least one of them is either reciprocating or rotary. In the various forms of the device, the deforming member is mounted in a holder which reciprocates and moves progressively with relation to the rotating article holder or rotates with relation to the progressively moving article holder.
