Abstract
Abstract A combined tool for precision boring and burnishing a tubular workpiece includes a bore head and a burnishing head which are advanced by a feed tube into the interior of the tubular workpiece while the latter is rotated about its axis. In order to reduce the stresses on the three above-mentioned elements and to avoid markings on the finished surface, two of the three elements are connected by a coupling, which while transmitting torque between the two connected elements, permits limited deviations of the axes thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A combined tool for precision boring and burnishing of a tubular workpiece comprising, in combination, bore head means; burnishing head means arranged rearwardly of the bore head means; feed tube means for feeding said bore head means and said burnishing head means into a workpiece to be machined; first connection means for rigidly connecting two of the three first-mentioned means substantially aligned along a common axis; and second connection means for transmitting a moment to the third of the three first-mentioned means from at least one of the two other means while permitting limited deviation of said third means relative to said common axis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A combined tool for precision boring and burnishing of a tubular workpiece comprising, in combination, bore head means; burnishing head means arranged rearwardly of the bore head means; feed tube means for feeding said bore head means and said burnishing head means into a workpiece to be machined; first connection means for rigidly connecting two of the three first-mentioned means substantially aligned along a common axis; and second connection means for transmitting a moment to the third of the three first-mentioned means from at least one of the two other means while permitting limited deviation of said third means relative to said common axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A combined tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said second connection means is located between said boring means and said burnishing head means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A combined tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said second connection means is located between said burnishing head and said feed tube means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A combined tool as defined in claim 1, wherein each of the three first-mentioned means has a longitudinal axis, and wherein said second connection means comprises a coupling permitting limited displacement of the axes of the two means connected thereby parallel to each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
A combined tool as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said three first-mentioned means has a longitudinal axis, and wherein said second connection means comprises a coupling permitting limited angular displacement of the axes of the two means connected by said coupling.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
51 words
A combined tool as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said three first-mentioned means has a longitudinal axis, and wherein said second connection means comprises a coupling permitting limited parallel displacement as well as limited angular displacement of the axes of the two means which are connected by the coupling.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
A combined tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said second connection means is an Oldham coupling.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
89 words
A combined tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said first connection means extends between and connects said bore head means with said feed tube means spaced from each other substantially aligned along said common axis, and wherein said second connection means comprises means mounting said burnishing head means on said first connecting means, said mounting means being constructed to permit slight radial deviation and slight tilting of said burnishing head means relative to said common axis while tending to maintain said burnishing head means on said common axis.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
49 words
A combined tool as defined in claim 8, wherein said first connection means comprises a substantially rigid shaft connecting said bore head means and said feed tube means, and wherein said second connection means comprises at least one resilient tubular element mounting said burnishing head means on said shaft.
