Abstract
A lower work tool having a one-piece open style design with a plurality of openings and an upper work tool having a housing and cover plate each forming a plurality of openings.
Claims12
A tool mechanism for use in the deep rolling of crankshafts or like products, comprising:
- a) a housing having a side forming an annular opening,
- b) a cage formed at one end of said housing,
- c) work rollers operatively mounted in said cage and operatively inclined outward to physically engage a fillet of said crankshaft, and
- d) at least one annular cover plate secured to said housing at said annular opening, said annular cover plate having a plurality of openings.

A tool mechanism for use in the deep rolling of crankshafts or like products, comprising:
- a) two receiving rollers,
- b) a pair of spaced hubs rotatably supporting said receiving rollers, and
- c) a main body essentially forming an L shape member, said L shape member supporting two laterally spaced sides, each side is symmetrically aligned relative to the other and each side forms a pair of spaced ridges, with said ridges supporting said hubs.
