Abstract: 8948. Haeseler, C. H. Feb. 21, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Percussive hand-tools.-The valve of a pneumatic tool is arranged transversely in a valve box F fixed in position by dowel pins, and is actuated in one direction by a constant reduced pressure passing into the chamber by a restricted port V and allowed to escape through a somewhat larger port W. In the position shown in Fig. 2, air passes through a port L, the neck O<1> of the valve, and a port Q to drive out the piston, exhaust from the other end passing through ports A<1>, P', P', P, the neck 0 of the valve, ports R, space S, port T. When the neck E<1> on the piston connects the ports Y', Z<1>, air passes from the recess K through passages Z, Y' to force down the valve against the constant reduced pressure. Air then passes round the valve neck O and through the passage P' and port P<2> to return the piston, exhaust from the rear end passing through ports Q, U, the space S, and port T. When the ports A', Y<3> are uncovered on the return movement, the pressure is exhausted from the upper surface of the valve, which is thus returned. To prevent unauthorized removal of the valve, the valve box may be sealed by means of the device described in Specification No. 15,011, A.D. 1907.
