Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for polishing a workpiece wherein an oversize resilient elastomeric polishing die has injector ports through which a viscous or elastic polishing medium is injected. The workpiece is mounted in vertical working alignment with respect to the polishing die. The die and workpiece are moved relative to one another in a horizontal oscillatory rotary motion as they are brought together in the vertical direction such that the workpiece surfaces are polished.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
Apparatus for polishing workpieces, said apparatus comprising a base member; a first platen disposed on and supported by said base member and free to move in any direction in the horizontal plane with respect to said base member; means coupled to said first platen for driving said first platen in horizontal oscillatory rotary motion with respect to said base member; a resilient, non-abrasive polishing die fixed to the upper surface of said first platen; a second platen mounted in a superimposed relation and adapted to be driven vertically with respect to said first platen; means for mounting a workpiece to said second platen in substantial vertical alignment with said resilient polishing die; vertical drive means for incrementally infeeding said workpiece and said polishing die into contact with one another while said first platen is driven in horizontal oscillatory motion; means for injecting an elastic abrasive composition into said polishing die when said workpiece is in contact therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
Apparatus for polishing workpieces, said apparatus comprising a base member; a first platen disposed on and supported by said base member and free to move in any direction in the horizontal plane with respect to said base member; means coupled to said first platen for driving said first platen in horizontal oscillatory rotary motion with respect to said base member; a resilient, non-abrasive polishing die fixed to the upper surface of said first platen; a second platen mounted in a superimposed relation and adapted to be driven vertically with respect to said first platen; means for mounting a workpiece to said second platen in substantial vertical alignment with said resilient polishing die; vertical drive means for incrementally infeeding said workpiece and said polishing die into contact with one another while said first platen is driven in horizontal oscillatory motion; means for injecting an elastic abrasive composition into said polishing die when said workpiece is in contact therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
Apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said resilient polishing die is formed of a polyurethane elastomer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
Apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said means for driving said first platen in horizontal oscillatory rotary motion comprises a plurality of eccentrically mounted spindles each coupled at one end to the lower surface of said first platen, and means for synchrounously driving said spindles in rotation about the longitudinal axes thereof.
