Patent GB-190805601-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Hydraulic Hammers.
Inventor: PROETT CARL
Filed: 1908-03-12
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 5601. Pr÷tt, C. March 12. Fluid-pressure hammers.-To prevent the formation of a vacuum beneath the piston of an hydraulic hammer, the exhaust is subjected to a back-pressure created by a head of water and in some cases an air chamber. In the hammer shown in Fig. 1, in the position shown, water exhausting from beneath the piston 11 to the exhaust pipe 22 is subjected to the pressure of the water in the pipe 15. The pressure on the piston is balanced by the admission of the water to the upper surface of the piston by a pipe 23. The formation of a vacuum beneath the piston 11 is prevented by a valve 24 arranged in the piston as shown, or in a by-pass to the cylinder 10. When the tup strikes the work, the inertia of the piston and piston-rod carry them forward and operate a bell-crank 18 pivoted to the tup at 19 and to the piston-rod. The bell-crank 18 operates a lever 21, and raises the valve 13, thus admitting high-pressure water from the pipe 14 beneath the piston 11. In a modification the pipes 15, 23 open into an air and water chamber, from which the exhaust water escapes through a pipe controlled by a valve operated by a float. In the hammer shown in Fig. 3, the piston 11 has piston-rods of equal diameter at its upper and lower ends. The upper piston-rod is constantly acted on by an air cushion in a chamber 25. Collars on the valve-rod are operated by a lever 32 operated by the inertia of a weight 34. During the down-stroke the valve 13 couples the upper and lower surfaces of the piston 11, while during the up-stroke high-pressure water is admitted below the piston 11 and the upper part of the cylinder exhausts through the pipe 22. In a modification a check valve is placed in the pipe 22, which also communicates with the chamber 25. A modified valve clears the openings of the pipes 29, 29<a> in its lowered position, and in its raised position connects the pipes 29, 22 by a through passage, and the pipes 29<a>, 14 by a reduced portion. The hammer shown in Fig. 6 has a central distributing-valve 13 in the piston. When the tup strikes the work, the inertia of the valve overcomes a spring, and places ports 39 in communication with ports 36, thus admitting high-pressure water from the pipe 14 below the piston. During the down-stroke the underside of the piston exhausts through the centre of the valve 13 and the pipes 37, 38. The exhaust can be prevented by turning the valve by a handle, thus putting the ports in the valve out of register with the ports 36.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Draw Gear for Railways and the like Vehicles.
Inventor: PEART JOHN
IPC: B61G9/12
Filed: 1909-01-05
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 281. Peart, J. Jan. 5. Draw - gear. - The ordinary type of drawgear, whether continuous or single-ended, and with or without draw-bar cradles, is provided with additional springs arranged adjacent to the middle cross-bearers of the underframe, so that the draught or buffing shocks are transmitted through these springs to the cross-bearers before being taken up by contact of the shoulder of the draw-hook at the opposite end of the vehicle with the corresponding headstock. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, helical, rubber, or other springs g are arranged between cross-bearers h and shoulders, nuts, or cotters, on the draw-bar. The usual cradle e, cradle spring f, and laminated buffer spring c are fitted as shown. The draw-bars d are attached to the hoops c<1> of the springs c by pin-and-slot connexions l, the slot being provided to allow full compression of the springs g before contact occurs between the draw-hook and headstock. In some cases this slot may be sufficiently long to prevent the transmission of any shock to the headstock. In another modification, the shock may be first taken up by one of the cross-bearers h through the spring g, and afterwards transmitted to the other crossbearer by a stop on the draw-bar d. The springs g may be arranged to come into action simultaneously with the spring f, or only when the latter spring is half compressed. In cases where there is no laminated spring c, and the hook a is integral with the draw-bar d, the necessary longitudinal movement of the drawbar is obtained by leaving a space between the headstock b and the shoulder of the hook a. The cradle e may be replaced by two tension bars m, Fig. 5, which slide through the crossbearers h and are fitted with cross-pieces o abutting against the springs g. The draw-bars d are fitted with sleeves r and nuts s. The shocks are absorbed by both springs g, and may afterwards be taken up by contact between the nuts s and the bearers h. In another form, springs p, n are arranged as shown in Fig. 6, and may come into action simultaneously or successively, the latter action being obtained by providing a slotted connexion between the draw-bars d and the cross-heads o. Fig. 10 shows two arrangements of draw-springs for single-ended draw-gear. By the provision of brackets q, Fig. 6, the draw-gear may be made single-ended, the springs n and bracket q being duplicated.
