Abstract
A machine for grinding objects, especially helical-or coil-type springs whose opposite ends are to be ground, includes a pair of rotary grinding discs having grinding surfaces spaced in axial direction from each other so as to define a work station. A plate-shaped element having a region mounted for turning movement relative to the work station intermediate the grinding surfaces is formed with a plurality of apertures, each of which is adapted to receive an object which is to be ground by contact with the grinding surfaces. Channels are provided in the plate-shaped element and connect the apertures with a source of fluid for supplying the latter to the apertures.

In a machine for grinding objects, particularly springs, a combination comprising a pair of rotary grinding discs having grinding surfaces spaced in axial direction from each other and defining a work station;
- an element having a region mounted for turning movement relative to said work station intermediate said grinding surfaces, said region having a plurality of apertures each adapted to receive an object whose opposite ends are to be ground by contact with said grinding surfaces;
- and passage means including channels provided in said element and communicating said apertures with a source of fluid for supplying said fluid to said apertures.
