Abstract
A turning system allows for slow revolution of a shaft at variable angles so that the work pieces such as cup can be operated on. The work piece could be attached by a hollow cylinder that magnetically attaches to the shaft of the system by placing the hollow cylinder on the shaft. As the shaft enter it contacts an attachment device such as a magnet to hold the work piece on the shaft.
Claims1
A turning system consisting of:
- a rectangular pivotable turning head having a front surface that extends from a first end to a second end, the turning head is attached to a rectangular first support at the first end and a rectangular second support at the second end, the turning head rotates about an axis between the first support and the second support;
- a rotary shaft extending from the front surface of the turning head, a rotation axis of the rotary shaft being perpendicular to the axis between the first support and the second support;
- a base plate attached to the first support and the second supporter longitudinal length of each the first support and the second support extending perpendicular to the base plate, and the base plate extending underneath the shaft;
- and
- a hollow cylinder extending from a first open end to a second open end, the hollow cylinder having:
- an interior cylindrical through-hole extending from the first open end to the second open end, the interior cylindrical through-hole having an inner cylindrical wall;
- a gripping device secured within the interior cylindrical through-hole directly contacting the inner cylindrical wall;
- and
- a magnet secured to the gripping device, the magnet spaced apart from the inner cylindrical wall such that there is not direct contact between the magnet and the inner cylindrical wall;
- wherein the hollow cylinder is sleeved over the rotary shaft and the magnet is releasably engaged with an end of the rotary shaft within the interior cylindrical through hole.
