Filed: 1923-05-01
Abstract: 196,942. Soc. Hardoll. May 1, 1922, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Direct liquid-pressure apparatus.-Petrol &c. is drawn from a storage tank 22 and forced to draw-off pipes 25, 26 by means of another liquid, such as water which is oscillated in a closed circuit comprising a pump 2, suction and delivery pipes 6, 3, pipes 13, 14, and forcing chambers 15, 16. The suction and delivery pipes 6, 3 of the pump 2 are connected alternately to the chambers 15, 16 by a reversing valve 7 actuated by the pressure of the water on one or other side of a piston 11, so that, while the water is being drawn from the chamber 15 through the pipes 13, 6 and petrol is entering from the tank 22 through a valve 17, water is being forced by the pump through the pipes 3, 14 into the chamber 16, to displace petrol through a valve 20 into the delivery pipe 24. When the water reaches a certain level in the chamber 16, a float 52 opens a valve 53 and allows the pressure water to act on the. piston 11 and reverse the valve 7, thereby connecting the chamber 15 to the delivery pipe 3 and the chamber 16 to the suction pipe 6. The supply of water in the system is maintained by a constant level tank 44 connected to the chamber 15 by a pipe 48 and float valve 49, which opens when the water level in the chamber 15 falls below a certain level. The tank 44 also primes the pump through a pipe 46. When the cocks 27, 28 on the pipes 25, 26 are opened for delivery, metal sectors 29, 30 carried by the cock connect the terminals 31, 32 of the wires 33, 34 to the terminals of the wires 35, 36, and thereby start the three-phase motor 1 driving the pump 2. The quantity delivered is indicated by meters 37, 38. The lever 8 has lost motion connections with the piston rod 10 and the valve 7 and is quickly raversed by a spring 9.

Abstract: 107,959. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., E. I., (Assignees of Stillwell, H. A.). July 12, 1916, [Convention date]. Drilling-machines, for drilling holes in the explosive charges of shells to receive detonators, have fluid-operated belt-shifting, chuck-operating, work inserting and removing, and drill-feeding means. The work is rotated and a non-rotary drill is fed from below. The belt forks 19, Fig. 1, are carried by a slide traversed on a bar 15 by a lever 13 and piston-rod 10. When the cylinder 9 is exhausted, a spring 27 moves the belt to the loose pulley. The drill-holder 87 is splined in a bracket 88 rotatable about the column under the control of a handle 93. A spring stop 94 engages a bar 95 carried by an arm to locate the holder in its operative position. A rod 105 screwed on the bracket is adjusted so that a gauge 107 touches the end of an adapter 60 screwed into the shell. The lower end of the rod is then correctly positioned to engage an adjustable stop 108<a> on the drill-holder, which is fed by a cylinder 82 working on a fixed piston. To remove and insert a shell, the drill-holder is moved aside and a holder 70, Fig. 2, indexable at 66 on a rod 63 is turned to bring an empty shell-holder 74 in line with the spindle. A piston is then operated to raise the plunger 75 to receive the shell from the chuck and then to lower it into the holder. After indexing the holder, the piston is again operated to place an undrilled shell in the chuck. Chucks.-The chuck jaws 56, Fig. 12, are formed on levers 55 pivoted to a sleeve 54 sliding on the chuck body under the control of pistons 50 supplied through the spindle 44 through a swivel connexion packed at 41, 41a. The jaws are closed by being drawn within a ring 57 carried by the body and are locked in this position by a catch 62. To prevent the explosive from rotating in the shell, an adapter 60 having peripheral recesses 61 is screwed into the shell.
