Description: |
| Original application 15 May, 1941. Divided and this application 22 August, 1941.
Claim:
This invention relates to the flame hardening of racks or rack bars for the purpose of hardening the teeth which constitute the rack so as to make them more capable of withstanding wear during usage. Racks of the type to which the invention is particularly applicable are those used on lathes and similar machine tools. In a lathe, for example, the rack is used as means for driving the carriage. This invention contemplates a method and apparatus by which the teeth of the racks may be hardened in order that the teeth may be wear resistant, capable of withstanding any abuse to which they may be subjected, so that more satisfactory performance is obtained from the tool or apparatus of which the rack bars form a part. |
