Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a facing and inside-turning head comprising a supporting body to be fixed by its back to the spindle of a turning machine, a slide shiftable radially at the front of the supporting body in a guide extending perpendicularly and symmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation, to which slide a tool holder can be fixed, and an adjusting rod slidable in the supporting body coaxially with the axis of rotation and the axial movement of which produces a radial movement of the slide via an interposed drive along with a counter weight also actuatable by the interposed drive.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
Facing and inside-turning head comprising a supporting body to be fixed by its back to the spindle of a turning machine or the like, a slide shiftable radially at the front of the supporting body in a guide extending perpendicularly and symmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation, to which slide a tool holder can be fixed, and an adjusting rod slidable in the supporting body coaxially with the axis of rotation and the axial movement of which produces a radial movement of the slide via an interposed drive, comprising the improvement wherein between the back of the supporting body and the side guide another guide extending axially offset and parallel with respect to the slide guide is provided in which a counterweight corresponding substantially in its mass to the mass of the slide, including the tool holder and tool, is radially slidable, and wherein between the adjusting rod and counterweight another drive is provided which, on actuation of the adjusting rod, produces a radial movement of the counterweight of equal extent, but of opposite direction, with respect to the slide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
Facing and inside-turning head comprising a supporting body to be fixed by its back to the spindle of a turning machine or the like, a slide shiftable radially at the front of the supporting body in a guide extending perpendicularly and symmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation, to which slide a tool holder can be fixed, and an adjusting rod slidable in the supporting body coaxially with the axis of rotation and the axial movement of which produces a radial movement of the slide via an interposed drive, comprising the improvement wherein between the back of the supporting body and the side guide another guide extending axially offset and parallel with respect to the slide guide is provided in which a counterweight corresponding substantially in its mass to the mass of the slide, including the tool holder and tool, is radially slidable, and wherein between the adjusting rod and counterweight another drive is provided which, on actuation of the adjusting rod, produces a radial movement of the counterweight of equal extent, but of opposite direction, with respect to the slide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Turning head according to claim 1, wherein the counterweight has a slot extending parallel to its sliding direction through which the adjusting rod is passed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
77 words
Turning head according to claim 1, wherein the adjusting rod has a helical toothing meshing with a corresponding rack connected to the slide, another helical toothing being provided on the adjusting rod the teeth of which toothing are inclined with respect to the axial direction of the adjusting rod at the same inclination α as, but in the opposite direction to, the teeth of the first helical toothing and mesh with another rack provided on the counterweight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
Turning head according to claim 3, wherein the adjusting rod has both toothings on two diametrically opposite sides and their teeth cross, and the slide and the counterweight each have two racks
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
81 words
Turning head according to claim 1, wherein the guide for the counterweight is formed by a U-shaped recess in the supporting body, to which recess there is adjacent, towards the front and in front of the counterweight, an extension in which is inserted a substantially U-shaped guide bar forming in turn with its base the front guide surface for the counterweight and having at its front side facing away from the counterweight a U-shaped recess as a guide for the slide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
Turning head according to claim 1, wherein a guide bush for the adjusting rod is arranged in the base of the guide bar.
