Title: Improvements relating to Portable Pneumatic Rammers for Ramming up Moulds used in Casting Metals, and for similar Purposes.
Inventor: KELLER JULIUS
Filed: 1900-04-10
Granted: 1900-10-13
Abstract: 6707. Keller, J. April 10. Percussive hand tools. - A pneumatic rammer or tamping machine has a cylinder 1 with a feed-screw 13 working in a nut 15 in a shackle 16. The hollow feed-screw acts as a supply pipe, and is coned into the supply pipe 18, so that the cylinder may be fed toward the work by rotating it. The rammer 4 is carried by a piston-rod 3. When the rammer commences its forward stroke, the valve 19 is in the position shown, motive fluid being admitted to the space 26 through the valve, a slot 24 in the valve box 10, and a passage 25. Exhaust from the space 35 takes place through passages 40, 34, 33, 38, 36. The valve is shown at the left or rear end of its stroke, the neck 21 of the piston-rod placing the larger rear side in connection with the exhaust through passages 31, 22, 20, 23. During its forward stroke, the piston-rod closes the port 20, and subsequently connects the port 28 and passage 29 through the neck 27. This allows fluid to pass into the passage 29 through the port 30, and thence to the rear of the valve, thus moving it to the right, elosing the admission slot 24, and the exhaust passage 38, while opening the port 32 and allowing fluid to pass to the front end of the cylinder to return the rammer, till the port 20 is again uncovered, when the valve is again moved and the operation repeated. The feed-screw and suspending-shackle may be dispensed with, and the tool held by handles 41.
