Title: Improvements in Percussive Hand Tools, Power Hammers and similar Tools Actuated by Compressed Air.
Inventor: STOCKS HARRY BENWELL
Filed: 1906-09-19
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 20,776. Stocks, H. B., and Webb, J. R. Sept. 19. Fluid-pressure hammers.-A percussive hand - tool, power hammer, or similar tool of the type described in Specification No. 6137, A.D. 1906, in which the piston is reciprocated by two continuous streams of air at different pressures, has the smaller end of the distributing- valve constantly open to highpressure air, as described in the Specification referred to, or to low-pressure air. In the former case, an expansion valve having equal areas, one of which is constantly acted on by lowpressure air, replaces the previously-used differential valve, and in the latter case, a similar valve may or may not be used. In the first modification, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, high-pressure air enters by a port q, groove m, and ports 3, 4, and continuously acts on the shoulder z of the valve x, driving the valve forward, and passing through ports 20, 21, a groove in the expansion valve 15, and a port 22 to drive forward the piston. Lowpressure air passing through a port r, groove n, and port 13 continuously acts on the area 15<b> of the expansion valve. When the end of the piston, in its forward stroke, uncovers the port 17, highpressure air passes into ports 18, 19 and drives back the expansion valve against the continuouslyacting low-pressure air. The stroke of the piston is completed by expansion. Exhaust from the front of the piston passes through passages 7, 8 behind the valve x and the port 9 to the atmosphere. At the end of the forward stroke, a groove c in the piston connects the passages 3, 11, and high-pressure air thus acts on the larger area of the valve x, which is returned. Low-pressure air then passes round the groove 2 in the valve x, and through the passages 8,7, and returns the piston, exhaust passing through the ports 22, y, the valve x, and the port 9. When the front end of the piston uncovers the ports 19<a>, 13<b>, the high-pressure air holding back the valves 15, x mingles with the low-pressure air in the cylinder, and the valves 15, x are consequently moved forward. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the shoulder is continuously acted on by low-pressure air and a port 23<a> is provided for the exhaust from the front of the valves. In a modification similar to Fig. 6, no expansion valve is used. The throttle valves s are operated by the cross-pin w of a trigger, pressure air in the tubes being normally sufficient to maintain the valves in elevated position.

Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 26,759. Stickdorn, R. Nov. 24. Water-waste preventers.-Relates to apparatus of the automatic valve - discharge type fitted with disinfecting apparatus. When, by means of a handle, the piston 11 is raised, the space in the cylinder 4 is put into communication with the down pipe 3, and the water beneath the piston 13 escapes. On the ensuing descent of the piston, the valve 17 is lowered on to its seating and the piston 14 is withdrawn from the orifice of the supply pipe 7, so that the cistern 2 is filled, the water entering through an opening 8. When the cistern is full, the water ceases to flow, and the piston 11 sinks the increased pressure on the piston 11 causes it to sink and by way of a port 9 admit water beneath the piston 13, which then rises and lifts the valve 17, discharging the cistern. To render the arrangement automatic, an arm 20 is attached to a rod 19 fixed to the upper piston, Fig. 2. A stop 22 is attached to a corresponding rod 21 on the piston 11, by which means the piston 11 is elevated by the pistons 13, 14. A reservoir 23 for disinfectant may be provided. The pistons 13,14 are connected with a plunger 24 in a casing 25. On the descent of the plunger, disinfectant is drawn into the casing, and on the return it is ejected along the passage 28. The passages 26, 28 are fitted with non-return valves.

Leggings and gaiters.-In a machine for moulding leggings or other leather or textile articles, a flexible cord &c. having a covering of rubber &c. to give it a smooth surface is rolled over the surface of the article treated. The article is mounted on a mould c provided with a spindle b, which projects into guide - slots d in frames e. T h e spindle is carried in bearings f on rods g, which slide in guides on the frames e. A rod j joins the lower extremities of the rods g, and is connected by links k to a lever l having a weight n, which thus acts to force the mould c upwards. The cord t is wrapped about the article in the mould as shown, and is secured at its ends in sockets s mounted in bearings r on a cross-head q. Through the cross-head q pass three screwed rods o, o, p. The screwed rod p, when turned by the hand-wheel p<1>, serves for traversing the cross-head q which slides over the two screws o. On the exterior of the cord-sockets s are pinion-teeth which engage with the screws o so as to impart to the rope t a rolling motion corresponding to that which would be produced in it by the traversing of the cross-head q and its friction with the mould &c. Should any drag occur on the rope, the screws o may be rotated by a screwdriver to counteract such motion without traversing the carriage. The cord is rolled backwards and forwards by means of the hand-wheel to bring the article to the shape of the mould. The apparatus may be advantageously used in conjunction with that described in Specification No. 11,744, A.D. 1904. According to the Provisional Specification, a treadle may be used in place of the weight n for raising the mould ; also, the rope t need not be crossed as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
