Title: Improvements in or relating to Pneumatic Tools.
Inventor: CURTI ERNESTO
IPC: B25D9/08
Filed: 1912-09-02
Granted: 1913-09-02
Abstract: 20,000. Curti, E. Sept. 2. Percussive hand tools.-In a pneumatic tool in which the working stroke of the plunger r, Fig. 1, is produced by a volume of air which is alternately forced into and withdrawn from the cylinder o behind the plunger, the air employed for producing the return stroke is partly renewed from the atmosphere at each stroke, thereby keeping the cylinder cool; the air also partly escapes into the atmosphere during each return stroke, thereby minimizing the shock of such return stroke. The air for the working stroke is forced bv a piston n having a valve g which opens during the return stroke of the plunger r to allow atmospheric air to enter from the chamber c of the compressor, so as to make up for any loss by leakage. During the working stroke, a valve f in a conduit e rests on its seat in the cover of the ' return ' cylinder h, and air is forced from the ' working ' cylinder k into the tool cylinder o. Meanwhile air has been drawn by the piston m into the cylinder h through one or other of a series of air inlets in a disk x fixed in the wall of the cylinder h, the position of the inlet being determined by an adjustable disk with a single hole which moves over the fixed disk x. On the return stroke of the plunger r, the conduit e is closed by its valve f, and part of the air in the cylinder h is forced into the cylinder o to produce the return stroke, part of the air escaping through the disk x and part through openings between the flange of the conduit e and the cover of the cylinder h. The extent to which the cylinder is cooled and the shock of the return stroke deadened is varied by altering the position of the adjustable disk, thereby altering the amount of air drawn in and allowed to escape at each stroke. In order further to deaden the shock, a port l, Fig. 7, may be provided in the cylinder wall, this port being uncovered by the plunger during part of the stroke and allowing air to escape from the cylinder. A single button or other part u, Fig. 9, is arranged so that one motion of such part may operate a cock z to throttle the air-pipe p leading to the cylinder o, and at the same time cut off the current, steam, &c. from the motor that drives the compressor. When one compressor operates several tools, each tool is provided with a separately-operated cock z<1>, Fig. 1, in the airpipe p.

Title: Improvements in Stone Working Machines.
Inventor: MUELLER EUGEN LUDWIG
IPC: B28D1/26
Filed: 1913-11-19
Granted: 1915-07-08
Abstract: 26,566. M³ller, E. L., and Siegheim, F. Nov. 19. Dressing by percussion; tools and tool-holders; treating to facilitate working.-In machine for grooving and dividing stone, in which a reciprocating slide carrying the tool moves in a guide carried in a manner which allows the tool to yield in either direction in line with the cut, the slide is reciprocated by a cam and a spring or other resilient device, and the tool is restored to its normal line of operation, after yielding, by the spring &c. pressing the slide, or a roller carried thereby, against the edge of the cam. In the form shown, the tool 6 is held resiliently in a slotted tool-holder 7, and downward or lateral displacement is prevented by lugs 16, 17. The tool - holder is carried by a reciprocating slide 8, which is moved upwardly by a cam 10 acting on a spring- pressed roller 11 carried by the slide, and is moved downwardly by a spring 12. The slide 8 is guided by a fork 13, which may rock about pivots 14 and so allow the tool 6 to yield in either direction in the line of the cut in the work 1; after yielding, the tool is returned to its normal line of reciprocation by the spring 12 pressing the roller 11 against the cam 10. The cam 10 is so formed that the roller 11 remains in contact therewith until the tool strikes the work, and the strength of the blow may therefore be varied by varying the speed of rotation of the cam. The tool-holder is guided by bars 18 carried by the support 3 of the tooloperating mechanism. The support 3 is fed downwards on the machine frame 4, Fig. 1, by means comprising a connecting-rod 34. Fig. 8, which oscillates a pawl disk 35. When the stroke of the slide 8 is unduly long, a tappet 31 on the slide 8 strikes a stop-pin 21 and moves a contact-ring 22 between jaws 23; a solenoid 26 is thus energized and causes a mercury tube 27 to open the circuit of a solenoid 28, the pawl 29 then falling to operate the feed. When, owing to the feed, the tappet 31 no longer strikes the stop 21, a spring 30 raises the stoppin 21 and contact-ring 22, thus de-energizing the solenoid 26 and causing the mercury tube 27 to fall and close the circuit of the solenoid 28, which causes the disengagement of the pawl 29 and stops the feed. The movement of the stop-pin 21 is controlled by a dash-pot 32. The electrical feed control may be replaced by mechanical or hydraulic devices. Several tools may be used to form one groove. To facilitate the working of irregular blocks of stone, the blocks are coated with cement, tar concrete, etc.; grooves may be formed in the coating.
