Abstract: 9612. Wegner, W. F., and Wendleburg, A. April 24. Percussive hand-tools; chisels.-An electric percussive tool such as a hammer or chipper, which reciprocates in a casing 4 surrounded by electromagnetic coils 5, 6 wound in opposite directions and enclosed in the casing 7, has a socket at each end. The socket 12, to which is fixed a wearing-button of hardened steel, receives the hardened end of the reduced portion of the tool shank, the end being hardened to hold the magnetism momentarily. The force of the blow is thus increased and a strong repellant action set up. The other socket receives a tapered cushioning-spring, seated on the prong 18 of a non- magnetic follower 15, which has a hollow boss 16, pressed against an insulating-ring 17 by the screwed handle boss 14, to prevent the coils from rattling. The boss also secures two disks 20, 24 of insulating-material containing corresponding contact - rings 21, 22, 25, 26 and a central contact-plate 23 and button 27. This button is connected by a wire 61 to a bridgepiece 30 in the hollow handle, which carries binding posts with spring contact-plates 33, 34 on opposite sides of the stop-pin 35. The reduced portion of a push-button 36, pressed out by a spring, enters the end of a tubular insulator 40, which reciprocates in the reduced neck 38 and carries a sub-plunger 41 with spring contacts 47, 48. Between the insulator and the shoulder 44 of the sub-plunger is a spring 45 to break contact quickly, so as to prevent burning out of the contacts. When the rotating commutator 50 with the insulating-segment 51 is in the position shown in Fig. 2, current from the generator passes along the wires 65, 59 to the contact-ring 21 and thence by the wire 58 to the coil 6, back to the plate 23, and through the wire 61, switch 52 described above, and the wire 62 to the generator, When the commutator is in the other position for the forward stroke of the hammer, the ring 22 is brought into action, and the current passes along the wire 56.

Title: Improvements in Controlling Means for Pneumatically Operated Devices.
Inventor: JACKSON RAY PHILIP
Filed: 1907-03-01
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 4989. Jackson, R. P. March 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Electric traction on the overhead - conductor system. Collectors.-Consists in pneumatically -operated means for locking mechanisms in either of two positions by means of a single valve, and is described in connexion with a pantograph collector for electric traction. The shoe 1 is carried by a frame, the lower arms 4, 5 of which are rigidly attached to shafts 6, 7. These are coupled together by arms 8, 9 and links 17, 18, and are attached by links 10 and piston-rods 11 to blocks 12 which move freely in a cylinder 13. The collector is normally extended by springs 14, which press the blocks 12 and pistons 15 in as shown. The admission of air between the pistons through the pipes 28, 16 separates them and lowers the pantograph to the retracted position, where it is locked by the engagement of a catch 21 with a loop 22 on the collector. The catch is normally held in the position shown by a spring 23, and it is withdrawn by admitting air behind a piston 25 which fits the cylinder 24 loosely. The pressure required to move the piston 25 is greater than that required for the piston 15, so that, the collector being in the retracted position, by a momentary opening of the valve 29, the catch is immediately withdrawn, and the collector is left free to rise under the action of the springs 14, the supply to the pipe 16 being cut down to an inoperative quantity by a constriction at 32. For retraction, air is admitted to both cylinders 13, 24, and, when the pistons 15 have lowered the collector, the supply is stopped. The air in the cylinder 24 escapes round the piston 25 and through a port 27 so that the catch immediately enters the loop 22, and the device is locked before the cylinders 13 have exhausted through the constriction 32.
