Granted: 1909-07-16
Abstract: 15,180. Schwieger, A. April 16, 1908. Lift valves ; actuating valves.-In presses of the type described in Specifications 1501/04, 12,847/07, and 8518,/08, [all in Class 83, Metals, Cutting &c.], the controlling-devices are constructed in such a way as (1) to make their action more rapid and easy, (2) to enable certain operations to be performed mechanically, and (3) to lesson the consumption of highpressure water by arranging for the operation of a part of the stroke of the ram by lowpressure water. The valves for the supply of low and high pressure water to the cylinders are shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4. The low-pressure water enters the annular space 23, Fig. 1, by the inlet 22, and is admitted through the valves 25 to the passages 32 leading to the press. The high-pressure water enters the passage 32 through the passage 27 and valve 29. All the valves are held to their seats by springs, and are raised by the movement of the hydraulic piston 34, fitted with tail - pieces 37, 38, the movement being transmitted in one case through the rod 35, and in the other case through the rod 36, cross-head 40, and rods 41. The valve for controlling the motion of the piston 34 is shown in Figs. 2 and 4. Four valves 48<a>, 48b, 49<a>, 49b are provided and are worked off pivoted levers secured to the shaft 55 operated by a hand-lever. The port 68 leads to one side of the piston 34 and the port 69 to the other side. Pressure fluid is admitted through the passage 67 and exhaust takes place through the passage 70. By moving the hand-lever in one direction the valves 48<a>, 49<a> are opened, and pressure water flows to one side of the piston 34. The exhaust water from the other side of the piston 34 flows through the passages 69, 71, valve 49<a>, and passage 70 to the exhaust. The operation of the other pair of valves is similar. All the valves shown in Figs. 2 and 4 work in removable linings, so that the whole valve element may be replaced in case of failure. Spaces are allowed between the rod 35 and the valve stem and between the cross - head 40 and the rods 41, and the whole controlling-device is so arranged that on the one hand it can move any particular valve in one direction only, while on the other hand it can actuate one only of the valve systems at a given time.
