Abstract: 26,137. Lau, C. H. Nov. 26. Shearing; hammers, power; fluid-pressure hammers.-In a fluid-pressure machine for cutting and ejecting rivets on steel cars &c., of the kind in which pivoted cutters are operated by fluid pressure, a second fluid-pressure cylinder and piston are used in connexion with a cable &c. to hold the machine up to its work and also for operating a rivet ejector. The cutter arms 12 are mounted on pivots 20, and are operated through arms 13 by a piston and rod 5 in the cylinder 1. The cutters 18 are fixed in any position in sockets in the arms by screws 19, and the pivots 20 are connected to two plates 10 secured by bolts 11 to a bracket 9 fastened by bolts to a lug 7 on the cylinder ; and to prevent injury from flying rivet heads, a curved guard 40 is mounted on the pivots. To avoid longitudinal movement of either of the arms. 12, they have recesses 53 to receive a roller, or their opposed edges are toothed to intermesh. A fluid-pressure hammer 39, which is used for ejecting the rivets and which slides in a clamp 38 fixed to the bolt 11, is normally held out of position by a spring, but may be brought down to the work by clamping it by a cam 76 to a rod 74 connected to a forked lever 72. This lever is pivoted to a bracket 73 and passes over collars 70 on the piston-rod 30 in the rear cylinder 29 used for forcing the machine against the work. This may be done by providing the free end of the piston-rod with a hand-hold 37 pressed against any stationary body of sufficient resistance, or by mounting a roller 31 in a bifurcated part of the piston-rod to engage a cable 33 fastened at each end to the car &c. The cable may be fixed to the car by clamping it between a screw 51 in a bracket on a fork 47 and the head of a bolt 48 passing through the fork and through a lever 45, which is pivoted to a stem 43 engaging the interior surface of the car and carries a pivoted L-lever, engaging the outer surface and held down by the lever 45. The cable passes centrally through the fork 47. The cylinder 1 is connected to a semicircular bail 22, Fig. 1, which passes over a roller in a loop 24 connected to the hoisting mechanism so that the angular position may be varied. The cutting-apparatus, work-engaging mechanism, and ejector are all operated by fluid pressure controlled by a single three-way valve 2, the two former parts being simultaneously'operated, and being connected to the valve by pipes 3 and a valved pipe 34 respectively. The ejector, Fig. 8, is used to. eject rivets in alinement with the cutters.
