## Abstract

An adjusting apparatus for a roll threading die head with a head body having a plurality of threading rollers located on an imaginary circle concentrical to an axis of a cylindrical workpiece to be threaded. There are provided eccentric bearings which rotatably support the corresponding threading rollers and which are rotatable about axes eccentric with respect to the axes of rotation of the respective threading rollers. The eccentric bearings are simultaneously rotated by a rotor about their axes by the same angular displacement.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An adjusting apparatus for a roll threading die head with a head body having a plurality of threading rollers located on an imaginary circle concentrical to an axis of a cylindrical workpiece to be threaded, wherein the improvement comprises eccentric bearings which rotatably support the corresponding threading rollers at opposite ends of the rollers and which are rotatable about axes eccentric with respect to the axes of rotation of the respective threading rollers, and a rotor which simultaneously rotates the eccentric bearings about their axes by the same angular displacement wherein said rotor is comprised of front and rear annular plates which are interconnected together, said front and rear annular plates including elongated grooves therein, said eccentric bearings having flanges with pivot pins extending therefrom into said grooves.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each of the threading rollers is provided on an outer peripheral surface thereof with a taper thread to form a corresponding taper thread on the workpiece.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising shafts for rotating the threading rollers, and wherein said eccentric bearings are provided with eccentric holes in which the shafts are rotatably fitted.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the axes of said shafts are eccentric with respect to the axes of the rotation of the respective eccentric bearings.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an external gear provided on the head body, and wherein said rotor is provided with outer teeth which are in mesh with the external gear.

### Claim 6

An adjusting apparatus for a roll threading die head with a head body having a plurality of threading rollers located on an imaginary circle concentrical to an axis of a cylindrical workpiece to be threaded, wherein the improvement comprises eccentric bearings which rotatably support the corresponding threading rollers at opposite ends of the rollers and which are rotatable about axes eccentric with respect to the axes of rotation of the respective threading rollers, and a rotor which simultaneously rotates the eccentric bearings about their axes by the same angular displacement, said rotor including front and rear rotatable annular plates which are interconnected together and which have inner teeth, said eccentric bearings including outer teeth which are engaged by the inner teeth of the annular plates.
