摘要： An indexing apparatus for indexing an article about an axis. The indexing apparatus is adapted to be removably attached to the article and is constructed to axially displace the article along the axis to a disengaged position upon the initial application of a rotary force to an indexing assembly housed within the indexing apparatus. When in the disengaged position, the article can be selectively rotated about the axis by the further application of rotary force to the indexing assembly so that the article may be positioned in a predetermined angular position. The indexing apparatus further includes locking pins for locking the article in a plurality of predetermined angular positions when the application of rotational force to the indexing assembly is discontinued.

摘要： Apparatus for attaching a member onto a planar surface of an object within a predetermined degree of positioning accuracy relative to a reference axis on the planar surface. The apparatus comprises first and second bores in the object that are spaced a predetermined distance apart on the reference axis such that their respective centers extend substantially perpendicularly through the reference axis. First and second hollow protrusions are formed on a mating surface of the member and are spaced apart on the mating surface a second predetermined distance and are shaped such that the second predetermined distance can vary a predetermined amount relative to the first predetermined distance without affecting the ability to simultaneously insert the first and second protrusions into the first and second bores, respectively, while maintaining the degree of positioning accuracy of the member relative to the reference axis on the planar surface on the object.

摘要： A method for attaching a jaw to a vise-like workholding apparatus. The method includes placing the jaw member onto a support member of the workholding apparatus in a first direction that is perpendicular to a worksurface of the workholding apparatus. The jaw member is placed such that at least a portion of the support member is received within a cavity in the jaw member in a first released position. The method also includes applying a first axial force in a first axial direction to the jaw member to cause the jaw member to move axially in the first axial direction to a second position wherein it is retained on the support member.

摘要： A removable jaw assembly for a workholding apparatus having a base that defines a worksurface and a first longitudinal axis. The assembly includes an tower portion provided on the workholding apparatus that protrudes above the worksurface and defines a second longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis. The assembly also includes a removable jaw member that has a cavity that is sized to receive the tower portion therein such that the jaw member may be selectively longitudinally moved on the tower portion between a released position and an attached position. The tower portion includes at least one spring-biased latch member adapted to engage an engagement area formed in a wall of the cavity at right angles to the second longitudinal axis to selectively retain the removable jaw on the tower portion. In addition, an angled retaining surface is provided in the tower portion transverse to the second longitudinal axis and is adapted to selectively engage a corresponding groove in the removable jaw member when it is in the attached position.

摘要： An indexable workholding apparatus. The apparatus has a column member with at least one pair of workholding jaws operably attached thereto. The column member is rotatably and axially supported on a shaft member that is operably attached to an indexing assembly. The indexing assembly is constructed to axially displace the column along a longitudinal axis to a disengaged position upon the initial application of a rotary force to the shaft member. When in the disengaged position, the column can be selectively rotated about the axis by the further application of rotary force to the shaft member so that the column may be positioned in a predetermined angular position. A damping apparatus is attached to the shaft member and column for damping the return axial and rotary motion of the column and shaft member when the application of rotary force is discontinued. The indexing apparatus further includes a device for locking the article in a plurality of predetermined angular positions when the application of rotational force to the indexing assembly is discontinued.

摘要： A precision machine vise is provided with quick-change head members or means to facilitate the changeover from making one kind of part to another, preferably in equipment provided with computer numerical control. The precision machine vise is of the kind having obliquely oriented surfaces as an anti-cocking measure. One first part of the equipment supported by the base of the precision machine vise has an upstanding boss, and a second part of the equipment containing jaw plates in contact with the work has a vertical bore in which said boss fits, and there is a horizontal bore through the boss of the first part and through the second part, into and through which a locking-in means fits. The first part is provided with means to minimize play between the first part and the second. The second part mentioned above may be a disposable item. For use with a precision machine vise of the two-place type, there is also provided a changeable "fixed" central member, securable to the base via bolts accessible from above.

摘要： Apparatus for holding two workpieces, each with respect to a fixed reference location, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base to which a fixed central jaw member is secured. A clamping assembly which includes a first slide member and a second slide member which are joined by a threaded screw shaft is provided for movement relative to the central jaw member. A biasing means is attached to the first slide member by means of a compression spring assembly and may be either displaced with the first slide assembly or secured to the base. When the biasing means is secured to the base member and the first slide is displaced away therefrom, a biasing force is generated so as to urge the second slide member toward the central jaw to hold a workpiece therebetween. As such, one workpiece may be retained or released prior to another workpiece. Further, the instant construction provides the biasing feature without requiring any increase in overall vise length.
